Description: Finally, a guest says our podcast is one of her go-to’s to push her thinking! Why did it take this long? Not only does Gelair Butler get the gold star for the best guest to date, but also, we break format and talk football. Don’t get it twisted, we are not ESPN, but Gelair does predict the Super Bowl and she is 50% correct. Stop in for football and stay to listen to Gelair’s amazing story. 2015 was quite a year for Gelair. Her job was eliminated. She got married. She moved to a new city. Oh yeah, and found a new job while she is six month pregnant. Before her job was eliminated she was given a choice for a new career path. While she could have taken the sure thing, Gelair knew instead that she needed to leave the company and continue to be on the career path that she set out for herself. Gelair’s advice “Don’t let anyone define your value”. Boom. Hard stop.
