INKY JOHNSON - WHAT I REPRESENT

About this video

Johnson shares his philosophy that understanding what you represent is the most powerful advantage in life. He recounts asking a business leader for advice and using the leader’s emphasis on hard work to frame his own story of succeeding despite lacking natural talent. Johnson describes taking a troubled teenager to see a homeless man in Atlanta and teaching him that people lose their way when life makes them forget what they represent and the legacy they’re part of.
