Identity Series

Identity: The Journey

Sometimes life after college isn't what the brochure said it would be... but we keep moving forward anyway... hoping that we might end up where we're supposed to be.

BUT it's a reality for many, and it's all a part of The Journey.



Keep It Real.

Identity Series

Last night was an amazing night to create. I just finished speaking at Arizona State University and ran into some very talented friends... the rest is history.

Introducing... Iam "I am" Jones.

Chi City

Over the weekend my wife Gina and stopped by the CHI!

I LOVE Chicago, deep dish pizza, Kanye West, friendly people, new clients, and old friends... even if it's 12 degrees outside!

But, I have to admit that I love seeing snow on the ground, it truly makes it feel like Christmas.

AND I finally experienced deep dish pizza! I hate to spark a debate, but Giordanos wins hands down in my book!

BUT that same snow on the ground canceled my flight for TWO DAYS!

SO... I had a little extra time on my hands. My good friend Dr. Abhishek Patel escorted me around the city so I could shoot a short film for the blog.

Hope you enjoy Chi Town through my eyes.

Identity Project: Show 1

Bullying seems to be the HOT topic right now. Recently, I was asked to weigh in on the topic. I came to the conclusion that bullying is directly connected to identity.

So here's the mission. Once a week for 52 weeks I will post a video.

My only hope... is that you pay attention.



Huge thank you to Dr. Abhishek Patel for agreeing to share his identity with me.

Keep It Real

The Role Model Epidemic

I'm excited to announce a new speaker series.

Starting this year I will be conducting a series of talks for adults! Normally I stick with teens, BUT the only way youth in this country stand a chance is with the support and guidance of adults. It's hard to say that because there aren't too many I've met that want to take on that responsibility.

equipped adults + adult involvement = constructive teen development

Last night I was sitting at home and I got CRAZY passionate about the idea, SO I had to do something.

This was a my response:



This video isn't easy to watch... but it's the painful truth... I wish I could do it alone... but it takes a community to raise a child.

Keep It Real.

ROLE with me! Part 2 of 2

Get your hands DIRTY!

Sounds funny to say that, BUT that IS exactly what it takes to make a difference in someones life.

BUT this is what we fear, right, actually taking the steps to get ALL UP IN someones BID-ness!

Why?

The DEAL

BECAUSE that means we might have to stick around until the end... If you're like me YOU prefer a quick fix. AND this is an environment that we SO comfortably operate in. "Here's a couple bucks" or "I donate every year to blah blah blah"!

PEOPLE! Listen up!

While a generous financial gift is needed, true change can only take place if we invest personally in the development of our nations youth.

AND young people LONG for these relationships.

Sadly the majority of youth and young adults don't have anyone to look up to. Or if they do these "WINNERS" don't deserve their admiration.

So this is my CHARGE... PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Get those hands dirty... AND be a part of someones success story.

Keep It Real.
