NCCU's Information Technology Services Get's Covered


Lookie, lookie! The North Carolina Central University Information Technology Services has just secured its table cloth. Whoop! Whoop! [Enter angelic music]

From this day forth, we can now attend conferences, career fairs, and other events in style. Big shout out to the individuals and teams responsible for making this happen.

It's the little things that can make a big impression. Eagle Pride!

Meerkat vs. Periscope

Meerkat vs. Periscope

Yesterday, I talked about joining Periscope. Today, I've installed it's competitor, Meerkat.

For those unfamiliar, each of these mobile apps provide for live streaming. It's like Snapchat, but in longer form video...and it's LIVE!

My username on both Periscope and Meerkat is "damondnollan." Feel free to connect with me on either...or both.

Now, here is the question, "Which one is better?" Well, according to this article, referenced below, this author says that Periscope, which is owned by Twitter, is a much better and well thought out app.

For me, I have friends and celebrities who are using one, the other, or both. So, until I figure out which one I like best, I'll just use them both.

Check them out and let me know your thoughts.

Blasting Legs

Just finished legs...wow! After the leg presses and barbell squats, my legs were so pumped up that I thought they were going to explode. By the last exercise, I feel like I'm going to fall down at any moment.

Here is a quad shot. The muscles are so tired that I can barely flex them. Still have a layer of fat that I'm working off, but this is a good progress shot for the record books.

Heading home to get some fuel and then rest. Tomorrow night, I'm back in Goldsboro for a night of vision casting and then chest building.

Let's get it, champions!

Good morning! So, it seems the new trend is live streaming with a 24 hour window to watch. Think Snapchat for long form video streams.

I just created an account but wondering what I could live stream that would be of interest to you. 

What do you think?

Inspired By Great People


Last night in Raleigh, NC, I had the opportunity to spend time with some pretty great people (Lee Morgan, Jennifer Jones, and Barbara Pullen-Smith).

When you get the four of us together, you can only expect great things. I definitely left excited to help more people find some hope and breathing room in their lives. I love it!

I'll be back in Raleigh this evening. Looking forward to another amazing night followed by some time in the gym. Owwwwww!

Hanging With the Owners of the Brown Bag Cafe

On Monday night, I met with the owners of the Brown Bag Cafe in Goldsboro, NC.

We were first introduced about a week ago and they loved the message that we brought. They enjoyed it so much that they asked us to visit their restaurant and speak again.

One thing I value about the entrepreneur mind is the ability to remain open to ideas and opportunities.

Ask yourself this question, who are you hanging around right now? Are they going in the same direction as you? Are they pouring life into you? Do you feel encouraged when you're around them? 

Are they helping you achieve your goals? If so, keep them around. If not, it's time to find some new  friends.

Each night, I have the distinct pleasure to meet some GREAT people. Tonight and tomorrow, while I'm in Raleigh, I suspect it will be the same.

If you're in the area, let's meet up and I'll introduce you to a couple people that keep me motivated and inspired.

Embrace Your Purpose


I cannot express enough the overwhelming feeling that I have at this moment. 

A long time childhood friend recently sent this message to me on Facebook and it touched me. It was totally unexpected, but it was definitely right on time.

As you go out into the world today, seek to find your purpose in life and then embrace it fully. As you see here, one never knows who we are inspiring, encouraging, and pouring life into.

"Fam I have alot I deal with on a daily basis as yourself I see the desire and strength u have to work on your mind body and soul I understand the term meeting of the minds it's just time for me to move forward with the knowledge and wisdom I have... I tilt my hat to u and hope the best for u...help me by continuing to live your life and staying focused and giving the knowledge u obtained to the people who will except it and relize the gift u are giving."

Be great today, Champions!

P.S., To my friend who sent this to me. Thank YOU for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. You don't know how much it means. Amazing things are in store for you!

Vision Casting

Our visions are only actionable if we say them out loud. If we keep our dreams to ourselves, they will remain a figment of our imagination. - Simon Sinek

Let's start by writing them down now. What do you see for you in the future?

What Are You Eating?


Meal number 3. What number are you on? What are you eating?

Chest Day!


Tonight was chest night and I was able to get a great pump and burn during the bench press and incline bench press.

We are still searching to find Brandi's true numbers, so we still aren't running at full speed yet. Although, Brandi is tougher and stronger than she believes that she is. My job is to find out where her limitations are and then push past them.

I'm proud of her and the progress that she is making. Even without a completely locked down meal plan, Brandi is already seeing results (a couple of pounds down already).

As of tomorrow, we are putting in cardio twice a day with six masks a day (lean protein, complex carbs, and veggies). Wait until you see her weight melt away (laughing). It's coming...stay tuned!
