Hello. Hello. Hello. This is Gresh from the I AM CEO Podcast, and I have a very special guest on the show today. I have Jamar Washington aka J Haleem. Jamar, excited to have you on the show.
Jamar Washington 00:54
I'm excited to be here. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Gresham Harkless 00:57
Yeah, absolutely. I appreciate you for all the awesome things that you're doing and, of course, taking some time out with us today. And, of course, before we jump into the interview, I want to read a little bit more about J Haleem so you can hear about all the awesome things that he's doing. And Jamar, aka J Haleem, CPC is a four-time author, motivational speaker, certified professional coach, facilitator, and trainer.
He went from working for $8.00 an hour at the Hampton Inn to earning 6 figures as a Commercial Photographer in just a few years. He was able to accomplish all this while being a convicted felon. While working for $8.00 an hour, he developed his mantra, I Won't Starve, which was a catalyst for him to leave his job after one year only.
Since then, he has been pardoned and now is a best-selling author and motivational speaker. And I was reading a little bit before we jumped into this, and one of the things I loved about Jamar and all the awesome things that he's doing is I'm a big believer in the words having power.
And to hear what he says about I Won't Starve that really resonated with me, but he also has his STARVE Podcast, which stands for Stand Tall and Reclaim Victory for Everyone, Everyday, actually. And he has loads and loads of information, whether it be on business information, entrepreneurship, what is entrepreneurship, what shouldn't be entrepreneurship, and how we need to talk more about that.
But one of the things I absolutely love, probably even more than that, is what he has for his academy as well too. The I Won't Starve Academy where he does stuff for kids, I think is so important to get continue to give forward to future generations.
So Jamar, J Haleem, excited to have you on the show. Are you ready to speak to the I AM CEO Community?
Jamar Washington 02:28
Most definitely. Most definitely. I didn't know that guy he was talking about.
