Summary

In this episode we invite you to “Keep Rolling” with DeAndre Wilson, a serial entrepreneur and activist from Southern Indiana who became notorious for rolling a 230 pound tractor tire around town to increase awareness around the struggles of those with cancer and to help raise funds to support them financially. You’ll hear the story of how his father once rolled that very same tractor tire around town with the simple message “cancer sucks” before he passed. Now DeAndre has picked up that mantle to “Keep Rolling”. Together, we discuss the importance of Access with a capital A, to resources within communities so members of the community can truly thrive together.

DeAndre's most recent endeavor and community collaboration is the Bedford Collab Project that gathers members of the community through culture, cuisine, and conversation. By the end of this episode, you’ll gain an understanding of why he has earned the title of “manifestation coach” as he has inspired so many others to see a new world of possibility, even in the face of immense challenges.

DeAndre invites you to connect with him and the Keep Rolling Campaign directly on social media (links provided below) -- and you can even reach out via Instagram for a copy of the book he co-authored, Mindshift 2020.
