Have you had or do you have obstacles to overcome?

How and the heck can you get past this thing that seems like it has changed the direction of your life?

It seems like a futile situation because it’s out of your control.

Well guess what; the only thing we can control is our own alignment.

Controlling your own alignment starts as soon as you wake up. You have to be intentional about the type of day you want to have, and focus yourself into feeling good so that energy and momentum can carry you throughout the day.

On today’s episode of Waking Up Right with Ivory, I talk with an amazing man who uses all of his tools and turns them into successes: Ron Frierson

Ron Frierson is a Michigan native and former professional basketball player in Australia and France. He is currently the Director of Economic Policy for Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office in Los Angeles. Prior to this position Ron served in the Tenant Consulting Group at NAI Capital. Over the years Ron worked on teams representing Fortune 5oo companies to procure incentive packages. Ron is a public figure who is very humble, and constantly reaching back and pouring into others; which is one of the main reasons why he is so successful today.  


So get ready to be inspired, and get inside the mind and heart of a successful, beautiful, brilliant man.

Some Questions I ask:

What are some tools that you use to grow Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually?

How has playing basketball helped you navigate through your life?

What is your ultimate failure? What did you learn from it?

What are some of your daily routines when you first wake up?

If we are sitting here in the same seat a year from now celebrating what a great year it’s been for you. What did you achieve?

What do you recommend for young people who want to get into Politics or the financial industry?
