10% of people say they know what their life purpose is. Only 5% say they are following that purpose on a regular basis. The ONE thing we seek as human beings is a REASON for living. A strong reason, or 'purpose' fills us with the energy necessary to express our greatest and full selves. But, how does one discover their purpose in life? My friend and guest on The Be Better Broadcast, Jonathan Greene, has very interesting views on 'purpose' backed by his own personal story. In our conversation on The Be Better Broadcast, we will dive into 👉🏻 Are you BORN with your unique purpose? 👉🏻 What to do when you fall off the tracks of life, & 👉🏻 How to make yourself more valuable in the marketplace.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/iamrefocusedpodcast/davon-and-greene-from-incarceration-to-t Growing up as the son of author and composer BB Johnson AKA Joseph Greene (Together Brothers, Across the Alley from the Alamo) DaVon and Greene (the pen name of Jonathan Greene) knew writing was in his blood. Drawn towards cartels, crime, and drugs DaVon and Greene completed his first serious undertaking in his early teens and gave it to his father's friend, Saul David (Director: Logan's Run and Fantastic Voyage) to get an honest critique. Saul was intrigued, but wasn't overwhelmed. His critique sent DaVon and Greene’s life into a whole other direction, putting down the pen and entering the world that he wrote about in an endless cycle that there was no escape from, ultimately leading to incarceration. After jail, employment was hard to find, so when DaVon and Greene’s now wife offered him a job interview at a beer company he seized the opportunity. Working hard he rose through the ranks with promotion after promotion. Within six months DaVon and Greene was on a six figure salary. Several years later, DaVon and Greene’s beer career came to a halt when the company was sold. So DaVon and Greene started flipping Real Estate which provided him with a life filled with fast cars, boats and houses, until the crash of 2007. Not to be defeated, DaVon and Greene turned to insurance, then consulting before starting a successful trucking business. Resting in his truck at night gave DaVon and Greene time to write and finally fulfil his dream to become an author. Thriller, https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/laredo-nuevo-davon-greene-one-075053642.html was published in 2021 and Paladin will be released later this year. DaVon and Greene is father to eight children and five grandchildren. When he’s not writing or trucking across the country Jonathan can be found in California where he lives with his wife. http://www.davonandgreene.com Instagram: @davon_and_greene TikTok: @jwperkinsgroup CALL-TO-ACTION: Join the I Am Refocused Radio Community! 🌟 Hello, amazing listeners and viewers of I Am Refocused Radio on YouTube! 🎧✨ Are you ready to dive deeper into purpose, personal growth, and inspirational stories?
