Summary

You guys have heard me talk a lot about our role as protectors, providers, and presiders not only within the walls of our home but in our communities as well. Not only do we have the opportunity to give back to those in need, we have a moral obligation to do so, especially if we have the means to do it.

My guest today is a man who is doing exactly that. His name is Victor Fontanez (you may know him as Vic Blends) and he has made a name for himself through offering practical life advice for the young men he gives haircuts to as he serves his community in Atlanta. Vic is 22 years old but you're going to hear so much incredible wisdom come from him. I was honestly taken back by how much this man inspired me to do and be better myself.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Don't take your blessings for granted
Do what you believe in and everything else will handle itself

0:40.3	wisdom come from him. Frankly, I mean, I scheduled a podcast, but I was honestly taken back
0:48.2	by how much this man inspired me personally to do and to be better for myself.
0:54.2	You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. You embrace your fears. You can
