We caught up with the brilliant and insightful T. Alexander Evans a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
T. Alexander , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
Defiant resilience is what I like to call it. I face a lot of disadvantages, hardship and adversity. However I’m a visionary and I look into the future to see where I want to be placed at despite of the odds and I move accordingly with my actions and determination. I eat NO’s for breakfast daily and just roll up my sleeves and get to work.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

There’s been a village of people supporting me with local programs in my community for new small business owners like myself. My Wife has been a tremendous support system for me, utilizing her gifts as a graphic designer and photographer to help me with my branding and marketing is a rare combination I cherish.
