MAKING A DIFFERENCE
One Player At A Time

The group of graduating Seniors from North and South Carolina gathered for a weekend that would change them forever. Basketball might have been the common talent that had brought them to the 2019 Carolinas Classic, but each were also recognized because a coach had seen something within that sparkled.
Bob Johnson, the CEO of The House of Raeford , has made it a personal mission to impact young people and the community. The non-profit arm of their organization, F.L.O.C.K , was created because of the philosophy that companies that do well, should also do good . The student-athletes that were selected for this tournament, also spent time visiting area children's hospitals, elementary schools, and serving as buddies for children with disabilities at the Miracle League baseball field. Over the course of a mere two days, these young people learned the valuable lesson that true joy comes from being a part of something bigger than yourself.
I certainly walked away honored to have been in the presence of such generosity and love. As a fan, I plan on cheering these players on as they start their career at Universities all over the country. More importantly, however, I pray they create meaningful visions in their lives that allow them to continue to have an extraordinary impact on the world.

The awards have been given, the nets have been cut down. Another season has come to an end. I challenge you to take the same passionate spirit reserved for your favorite sport, and pour it into the needs in your home, work, and community. Surround yourself with a motivated, unified team and go do something amazing.

RODAN + FIELDS SALES RETREAT
There wasn't a dry eye in the room after spending time with the amazing women at this Rodan + Fields sales retreat. This is a team that has bold visions for the future.

Your presence this weekend...your words...to my team of incredible women were unbelievable. My friend, you're not just a survivor...you're an inspiration, more than anything..an INFLUENCER. We laughed, we thought, and we cried. It was a heck of a day!
