Peyton Mabry

Life Drives Success is a podcast hosted by Nick Powills, author of "Sticks & Stones: Building Entrepreneurial Success from Life's Struggles."

The way Powills sees it? People are born entrepreneurial, it's not a trait. We all possess this internal drive, however, life works in such a way that not all of us get the chance to capitalize. For Powills, lemonade stands and baseball card sales were the early manifestations of that innate entrepreneurial spirit; it was the bullying he endured at an early age, however, that served as that first point of motivation to succeed.

As the CEO of content marketing agency No Limit Agency* and publisher of digital content hubs 1851 Franchise and ESTATENVY, Powills funnels his creative energy into telling the stories that move people. Life Drives Success is a vehicle to satiate curiosity, explore new ideas and connect with others in a way that generates motivation, getting to the heart of that entrepreneurial spirit that exists within us all.

On this week's episode of Life Drives Success, Nick interviews Peyton Mabry, a Dallas-based entrepreneur on a mission to bridge the gap between journalism and influencing. A former Div. I cheerleader at Texas Christian University, Mabry was fully immersed in competitive cheerleading when she was diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Lumbar Scoliosis. She and Nick discuss how her unexpected diagnosis propelled her to take the fast track to entrepreneurship.
