Say hello to our Rising Star this month, Wade. With Wade’s student mentality and team oriented mindset. It was without a doubt that he was our leader of the month. To learn more about Wade and some of his favorite things to do check out our interview below!
Name: Wade Tillery
School/Major: Hampton University/ Music Recording Technology
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
Why did you start with the company?
I recently exited the United States Marine Corps with the intent to enter entrepreneurship and be around other A type personalities who seek success at the highest level.
What is your favorite part about working with the company?
The challenge to stay committed. Lack of commitment comes from lack of information and perspective. Whether it’s the morning meetings, business trips or time in the field, I’m reminded why people believe in this company everyday. They see the end goal as only a matter of time rather than something plausible. These alpha personalities and their individual “why’s” make it worth it on the worst days.
If you can travel anywhere in the world where would you go?
South Korea. My mother is there.
What are some of your favorite hobbies? How did you get into these hobbies?
Anything KAIZEN. Kaizen is continuous self-improvement. So my Christian Faith, reading, physical fitness, motivational speaking and mentoring African American youth.
Do you play any sports?
I never played sports growing up but I’m always competitive. With everything.
What is your advice for new leaders on the team?
My advice for new leaders at J.W. Business Acquisitions is to try to keep your team as tight as possible. Don’t ever believe you’re too senior to learn from someone.
What is your favorite book and why?
Probably the Bible. Close seconds would be Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Start With Why by Simon Sinek, and The 4 hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris.
Who is your favorite sports team and why?
Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons
Do you have a secret talent?
Kaizen.
Do you have a favorite color and why?
Purple. One of the greatest musicians made it awesome.
If you could be any animal in the world what would you be and why?
Gorilla. Amazingly strong, pack mindset, and extremely intelligent.
