Episode 138: Motivating Today’s Youth with James Dixon!
We’re pumped to have JAMES DIXON joining us today to talk about the explosive growth of his YouTube channel and how his motivational videos are affecting his community. With father figures becoming less and less prominent in minority communities, the wrong influences have filled those shoes. Now days, kids look up to YouTube channels, musicians, and actors. Join us today as we learn why a positive influence for todays kids is SO important.
