In this first episode of the Stranded podcast we have a special guest. Raised by a single mother after losing his father to violence, Rontel Batie, at 29 is making history. Rontel is currently the youngest black male to run for U.S. Congress, Florida's 5th District, since 1871.
Join us while we discuss his uphill battle overcoming adversity, why working since he was 12 is the reason for his drive and how he knew from an early age he would be in an important role.
You will also hear why he believes educated millennials will be the poorest person in the country soon and the importance of listening to your gut even when it doesn't make sense.
I am so thankful for these podcasts. Weather I am driving, in the gym, ending my day, or getting my day started these podcasts motivate me. They tell stories of real people with real stories. It is not only inspiring but hopeful. I am 21 and currently a college/ working student. The last year for me has been very rough in making decisions I thought I never would have. But, even with life’s obstacles I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. And thanks to Jessica Hurley’s podcasts I can see I am not alone and my light will come.
Best podcast ever !!! Jessica you rock!!!
I enjoyed listening especially when enduring a long road trip ahead it makes you put thing in prospective.
I needed this podcast! I wish I could have had it to help with the numerous obstacles growing up; however, I am extremely grateful to have it now. This podcast is helping me mend my brokenness and push for a better future! Thank you Jessica!
