About this episode
True strength and success lie in how well we can come together and support one another and how well we can stand side by side to move forward as a collective.
That powerful message comes straight from our guest, Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon, who is the author of No One Is Self-Made: Build Your Village to Flourish in Business and Life, and it perfectly sets the tone for this deeply honest and inspiring conversation with Jill.
They talk about why we’re not meant to do life or business solo, the power of building your “village,” and how real success comes from community, not isolation.
