Meet JD Williams

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful JD Williams a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

JD , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

When I was younger, my grandfather made me feel like I could do ANYTHING! He would tell me that whatever I put my mind to, I can do it! I’ve always thought very highly of myself. Whether if it was in a room full of people or by myself I’ve always thought that I was the best! There were people that may have tried to bring my self esteem and confidence down, but I always persevered in spite of!
