​​Akeem Shannon has had more than his fair share of failures, fall downs, setbacks, and hurdles. But through failing again and again, he found himself inching his way toward success. From college dropout to CEO of an Inc Magazine, Top 50 Fastest Growing Consumer Brand, Akeem has shared his story on the Stages of antsy 3rd graders to the Walls of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. While Akeem's story has inspired many, and may just inspire YOU, his ultimate goal is for YOU to write your own story that inspires YOU.
