Legacy In Motion: A Father-Son Blueprint for Leadership
Manage episode 516149629 series 3693665
What happens when purpose runs in the family?
In this episode, Bryant Hawkins Sr. sits down with Duane and D'Juan "DJ" James, a father-son duo who’ve built a combined 50 years of impact in the Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) industry.
From humble beginnings to executive leadership, their story is more than career progression. It’s a living lesson in mentorship, legacy, and the power of being both a student and a teacher.
You’ll hear how Duane turned a layoff into a lifelong calling, how D'Juan learned to lead by watching his father’s quiet consistency, and how together they’re shaping the next generation of HTM leaders.
This isn’t just a conversation about repairing equipment, it’s about repairing perspectives, building people, and leading with purpose.
Tune in, take notes, and remember: Legacy isn’t something you leave behind, it’s something you build while you’re here.
