Showing Up w/ Bobby Jones

Attribution with Bob McKinnon

In this wide ranging conversation, the author and entrepreneur Bobby Jones talks about business, culture, sports - and the role each plays in making the world a bit better. In sharing his own journey growing up in Washington DC, Bobby talks about the importance of just “showing up for each other”, seeing examples of successful people who look like you in your neighborhoods and asking ourselves to think about what we’re “putting in the hands” of our young people that will shape their path forward.

His first book, Good is the New Cool has spawned a podcast, workshops, conferences and a soon to be released sequel titled The Power of Purpose.
