August Turak Hosts Empowerment Hour

The Gift of Gump: Forrest Gump, Bubba, and the Secret to Success.

Listen as August Turak hosted Empowerment Hour with Joel Wiggins. Turak met Joel Wiggins when they were both invited to speak at a recent TEDxTriangle event. Find out how that encounter led to August hosting the show in Joel’s absence.

In the first segment, Turak details the six lessons that make Forrest Gump so successful despite his short comings.

Next, Turak applies these lessons to his own success and expands on examples from Forrest Gump.

Finally, Turak takes things a step further and tells us all how to begin to apply these lessons in our own lives by taking small steps… and the most important step is finding others that share our same values.

    Dear Gloria,

    Thanks so much for the kind words. Any friend of Sara Bean (as I call her!) is a friend of mine. Ask her to dance to the theme of Shaft for you. :)
