The New Rules of Branding in the Modern Era with Rory Vaden

Today I’m as honored as I have ever been to host my show. Topics like poverty, racism, and violence are rarely discussed at a level as deep as we go in this conversation Martin Luther King III is an American human rights advocate and the oldest son of my hero and civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King. Throughout his life, Martin Luther King, III has worked with individuals deeply committed to the struggle for human rights and a nonviolent society. Martin's dedication to creating and implementing strategic nonviolent action to rid the world of social, political, and economic injustice has propelled him to the forefront as one of the nation's most ardent advocates for the poor, the oppressed, and the disillusioned. It is truly my honor to have Martin Luther King III as my guest on The Ed Mylett Show! In this interview, Martin and I get REAL about the state of our country in regards to poverty, racism, and violence. With the saturation of these issues in the media, the world can no longer pretend injustices don’t exist, but now that we know it exists, how do we take action and course correct? 
 We discuss our views on how we, as a nation, can eradicate poverty and create a culture of non-violence - a dream we know the great Dr. Martin Luther King fought so hard for. And while we strive to create a more just nation, we should also strive to become the next best version of OURSELVES. Martin shares how his father was able to remain relentless in the pursuit of his dreams in the midst of unthinkable harassment and death threats… and what YOU can do to embody that same drive to reaching your dreams. This much-needed conversation will touch your heart and motivate you to TAKE ACTION for yourself and for others! 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈  → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ▶︎ INSTAGRAM ▶︎ FACEBOOK  ▶︎ LINKEDIN ▶︎ TWITTER ▶︎ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

Every ending is the beginning of something great… First-round draft pick, 9 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, Pro Bowler, and an amazing athlete I am so excited to have my friend, Eric Wood on The Ed Mylett Show! Not only is this man a peak performer, but he has also mastered the art of pivoting and found great success in life after football. Most collegiate and professional athletes have an extremely difficult time transitioning from life in the game to a life after sports because, by nature, we often define WHO we are by WHAT WE DO! And this is NOT THE CASE! And I’m sure some of you can relate to this. Over the last year, MANY of us have found ourselves in a position where we were forced to PIVOT. Whether we lost a loved one, lost a job, had to figure out homeschooling, working from home, had to shift your entire business model, or even shut down a business. While it may feel like your dreams are on hold or you feel cheated out of your dreams, this is a time to rely on your FAITH that God’s got your back! What do some of the most successful people in many areas have in common? Their ability to CONSTANTLY pivot, their ability to STACK GOOD HABITS, and their FAITH that things are happening for them and not to them. In this interview, Eric breaks down KEY STRATEGIES on how to shift your identity from being defined by what you do to being defined by WHO YOU ARE. We break down the key qualities and habits that all the GOATS practice on a daily basis that fuel them to greatness. AND you’ll learn how Eric was able to identify and use his natural gifts to pivot his life and find success after football. Whether you’re an athlete, a teacher, entrepreneur, parent, business person, or anything in between, you MUST learn this lesson of PIVOTING! 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈  → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ▶︎ INSTAGRAM ▶︎ FACEBOOK  ▶︎ LINKEDIN ▶︎ TWITTER ▶︎ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

“My intention is to give others hope that life can still be amazing, no matter what we've gone through.”   Life After Trauma  - w/ Elizabeth Frazier   This is perhaps one of the most important interviews on one of the most important yet too often silenced, overlooked, ignored, and normalized crises in the world.   And it is happening in our own backyards. The US is the number 1 consumer of child trafficking in the world and the Super Bowl (just 11 days away) is historically the biggest trafficking event.   My courageous guest today has held a special place in my heart since the first time I heard her speak. And as much as I want to believe that her story is a rare occurrence, unfortunately, it is not.   Elizabeth Frazier is a sex trafficking survivor, hero, and inspiration for anyone who is struggling to cope with trauma or pain.   From being groomed for trafficking at just 4 years old and enduring over 20 years of abuse, Elizabeth did not let it destroy her. As a successful entrepreneur and motivational speaker, she is STILL a believer that even through your worst experiences, everything in life happens FOR you and not TO you.   In this interview, Elizabeth shares her story, her journey to healing and warning signs that someone you know may be a victim of sex trafficking.   No matter what you are going through, this interview will teach you practical skills to no let trauma become your emotional home.   We can all relate to each other through our pain. You are not alone. You can come back from the darkest of places.   If you see or suspect someone is a victim of sex trafficking call the National Human Trafficking Hotline 1 (888) 373-7888 or Text “HELP” or “INFO” to 233733.
