Join Wes Tankersley on this episode as he gives insight on his thoughts from this week. He talks about the journey of his podcast; his successes and challenges.

One person creates his own success. No one can do it for you. There has to be the belief that it’s going to happen. Wes wants to be his own boss someday and not have to work for anybody else. He is working to make that happen by continuing this podcast. 

The haters are appearing on YouTube and other platforms. There was a hateful comment on YouTube recently on one of his shorts that said he doesn’t need a studio because he gets no views. He used to let the mean comments bother him, and he would reply, but now he just deletes them. One thing to remember is the haters don’t make sense and don’t know him.
