We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Johnny Taylor JR. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Johnny below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Johnny with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
Honestly I get my work ethic from my father. Growing up I watched my father work multiple jobs at while being a full-time husband and father.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I have a non profit basketball organization where I give the next generation of athletes an opportunity to play the game that they love. My organization name is called Locked N. Locked N is a lifestyle. Being Locked N means being focused on the task at hand no matter what it is without being distracted. We show the youth how one mistake, low grade and whatever else it is can cause you to go down a different path to to get to where you wanna be in life. Being Locked N starts at home.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
My Faith, Grit and Basketball knowledge. My advice is no matter what keep faith.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
I’m looking for adults that know of any kids that want to play basketball and get better in it. I’m looking to help all children no matter what skill level they are. I’m in the middle of ordering more Locked N gear. If you would like to collaborate feel free to contact me on IG: Locked_n_elite_basketball_ FB: Locked N Elite Basketball or lockednelite@gmail.com
