Thank you for tuning into another episode of the Somebody’s Son podcast.
Like so many others, I’m so grateful for the teachers and mentors that I’ve had in my life, and without a doubt they’ve had an incredible impact on my development as a person.
On this episode we sat down and chopped it up with the phenomenal entrepreneur and educator, Devario Hawkins.
Vario is the kind of passionate, and out of the box educator whose actions challenge those around him to do better— and his brand We Know Folk is just another example of how versatile he is.
