Cynt Chats with Motivational Speaker Mack McGhee on Building His Brand

I met Mack on Facebook last year in 2014.  In fact it's been less than a year, but I knew immediately by some comments he made on a mutual friend's post, that he was a thinking man.  I actually remember what the post was about.  It involved a very famous person and I won't say the person's name because the mere mention of this celebrity's name polarizes an entire audience.  Well anyway, the consensus of the comments in this particular post was that the celebrity was just an arrogant S.O.B.

Then comes a comment from Mack.  He spoke to the celebrity's genius and damn near psychoanalyzed the subject in a couple of short precise sentences.  It's like he knew or understood the plight of this young person's situation of being blessed by the masses for his genius and cursed by the masses for some of the ways he expressed his genuis.  I immediately sent Mack a friend request.  Well, it turns out that Mack was a Motivational Speaker and I'm not talking about the shallow kind, this Brother is insightful!!!

Not only is he a Motivational Speaker, he's an Author and the Dean of One of the Most Progressive High Schools in the Chicagoland area.  Boy did I hit the jackpot with this facebook friend.  I work with a youth group and the organizer of the group is in her early 20's.  She has Big Goals and Aspirations and I thought to myself. "How cool would it be to get Speaker Mack D. McGhee to talk to her for just a few minutes on the phone".  Well guess what?  As busy as he was and is, he did it.  And he did it big.  The advice he gave myself and this young lady about building an organization will stay with us forever.  He certainly has a heart for the Youth.

Ok, ENOUGH of all that, let's chat with Mack about what it takes to Build a Motivational Speaking Brand.
