Episode notes
On this episode of the B-Roll Matters Podcast, host Jamal Bransford sits down with Flint native, radio personality, and motivational speaker Richard D. Hatcher for a powerful conversation about overcoming adversity, finding purpose, and learning to speak life into yourself.
Richard shares his journey after surviving a brain aneurysm at just 2 years old, growing up with physical challenges, dealing with bullying, and refusing to allow other people's opinions to determine who he would become.
He also talks about discovering his passion for media, attending Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts, building a career at WFLT 1420 AM in Flint, and creating Champions of a New Character — an organization focused on helping people recognize the champion within themselves.
Richard also opens up about the importance of positive self-talk, his personal transformation, and why he believes our own words can sometimes have the greatest impact on our lives.
