In this episode of our weekly spotlight I'm talking with Jevon Marc Atkinson he attended the Olympics in 2004 and 2008 representing Jamaica. Let me say that Marc has a very interesting story that took him all the way to the Olympics. You'll have to listen to this episode so he can tell you in his words.

There are many years that separate Marc and I . (Let me just say I'm older but the better looking one LOL) However, with all joking aside. We realized that even though we grew up in different times and different countries with different challenges that we are so much alike. We both feel that it is the work that we put in when we were striving for something bigger than us. In the end, he is an Olympic swimmer and I'm a father who lost a daughter to a drowning. At the end of the day, we both realize that there are problems around us that we may have no control over. But there is one thing we do know. That is we can go to work with a goal in mind and accomplish whatever it is that you want.

Make sure to tune in to this episode as Marc will give you all great information as we share what may be things to come in the near future.
