This week we shine the small business spotlight on two of my good friends Elvis and Tyler over at Zenith Productions.

There is not a doubt in my mind that each step was meant to prepare her for the greatness that laid ahead. She is now living her best life doing exactly what she wanted to do since childhood and that is storytelling. She is an artist in every sense of the word and the UFC's website is the canvas she uses to express herself. Hope you enjoy this episode and I challenge you to go out and be that someone.

On this episode with chat with one of Houston's premier young people Tice Williams. This young man has all the intangibles it takes to make it in any walk of life.

He has been proceeded by siblings that have standout student/athletes in their own regards but Tice is looking to blaze his own path.
