It's almost it's the reason why people feel like they gotta get in shape before they go to the gym, right?” – Percell Dugger “There's a lot of joy in my community. There's joy in people, and I want to celebrate that at every chance that I get. And I don't care too much about whether or not you weigh this amount or your genius fits like this. You can love yourself. And more importantly, loving yourself and loving others can have a far greater impact on society than having ‘great abs or nice biceps’ — nobody cares at the end of the day.” – Percell Dugger GUEST INFORMATION:  Percell Dugger  Website | https://good-wrk.com/  IG | @goodwrk FB | https://www.facebook.com/MrGoodwrk  LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/percelldugger/    RESOURCES: Have career and leadership development questions?
