Live from the Live Better recording studio! Bret and Jason are here this week with Tieko Nejon, an educator and corporate trainer who focuses on the advancement of human behavior and the dynamics within social constructs. Despite her upbringing and growing up in a neighborhood with gun-violence, drugs, addicts and single family homes (she speaks to this during the episode), Tieko created her own path to entrepreneurship, rewriting her story. Tieko’s work has spanned a broad spectrum of industries, from designing curriculum for a medical school to detailing cultural strategy for big-box beauty brands. Her mission is simple – “Build better people”. Tieko partners with corporate teams, executive leaders, and management to push people toward excellence.

In this episode we breakdown the secrets to:

1. Understanding where you came from and how it makes you unique 
2. Learning how to gravitate or deviate from what you currently know 
3. Creating a better life for yourselves and others through better communication

Listen in as Bret and Jason discuss with Tieko how she deviated from her dysfunctional norm, found the core of emotional intelligence, and leads a life of helping others live better.
