They told me to play nice, smile more and stop rocking the boat. I tried… for a while. But I’ve always known I was different - and eventually, I realized that was the whole point. In the first episode The Black Sheep Network, I share the real, raw origin story behind becoming the “Black Sheep” - in my family, in corporate America, and in nearly every space where I was told to tone myself down.  This episode dives deep into the moments that shaped me, the traits I once felt ashamed of, and how those very qualities became my greatest strengths. If you’ve ever been told you’re too intense, too honest, too emotional, or too much - or if traditional success, hustle culture, and cookie-cutter sales advice never quite fit - you are not alone. The Black Sheep Network was created for people like us:The disruptors.The rule benders.The ones who care more about impact than fitting into broken systems. The ones who’ve built success on their own terms - even when it makes other people uncomfortable. And if you’re still figuring it out? You belong here too. This episode tells the story behind Black Sheep Sales, the philosophy behind this podcast, and why doing business or life “the normal way” never worked for me - or for so many others. If you’re a disruptor, an outlier, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, or someone who’s tired of pretending just to succeed… Welcome home. #BlackSheepNetwork #OriginStory #PodcastLaunch #PurposeDrivenBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #BlackSheepSales #ModernSales #SalesLeadership #ValuesDrivenSales #HumanCenteredSales #MisfitMindset #RuleBreaker #BusinessPodcast #LeadershipPodcast #SalesWithIntegrity
