Joe Pryor, is the author of Unlikely Destiny a book that
has receive high regards from both celebrities and ordinary
people. it is available wherever books are sold or on

A quote from Unlikely Destiny
“Have you ever really looked at yourself in the mirror? Have you
ever asked yourself, "Why are you here?" Have you ever thought
about your true purpose in life, or your Destiny? These are just a
few of the questions I've asked you to think about, while reading
Unlikely Destiny Volume One. The idea behind every question is to
get you to think! To keep you always thinking outside the box. To
think about every person you've met on your journey in life and why
you invited them into your environment. The environment I speak
about is YOU.”
Joe is a patented inventor, a former dedicated law
enforcement officer and a security consultant to high profile
celebrities and corporate executives.
Joe’ s FOCUS FORWARD mindset has translated his dreams into
reality. In his book he shares his easy common-sense steps,
that helped him overcome the odds to find personal and
professional success through understanding his UNLIKELY
DESTINY.
it is those odds again that we as a nation need to overcome if
we will ever achieve our purpose to fulfil our Unlikely Destiny as
a world nation.
If ever the country needed someone like Joe, it is now and so I
invited Joe to be with me today to discuss race relations, growing
up black in Watts/Compton, being a police officer and i wanted
to lean upon his wisdom to hopefully share some insight as to where
do we go from here.
Joe has decided to come and be with us today, on June 7th, his
birthday and at the time of this recording the world is
experiencing its 13th day of mostly peaceful protests and unrest in
opposition to the public lynching of a black man by the knee of a
white police officer as he repeatedly said “I can’t breathe.” while
the nation watch and no one stood up to stop this murderer.

that is not happening here, but living the reality of a black or
brown person, it is happening here
- I can’t breathe, one nation being held down by another
- the advances of technology that made the truth finally
irrefutable
- seeing what he saw growing up, how in the world did he decide
to be a police officer
- deliberate acts vs mistakes or accidental behaviour

around you
- standing up to those who are misusing their authority

targeted

they are in trouble
- defunding the police departments?????
- is the determent a big enough determent
- can we get out of this situation or do we just need to do our
best

on their own

do we find trust
- risking their life to protest the unfair treatment of
people
- why we don’t stand up to authority?
- even in the highest branches of government we know what the
leaders are doing is wrong and we try to stand up and get fired and
lose our live. it happens in sports in business, in education. the
police are the needle in the haystack.

leadership in check

racism ad getting rid of the inherited bias of racism

majority was black
