#IAMRIVIERABEACH Rod James, Candidate for Riviera Beach District 1, Ann McNeill Dan Calloway Ep. 63

After reading the book ACRES OF DIAMONDS by Russell Conwell, I am convinced we are all leaving the diamond mines in our own backyards as we travel around the world looking for larger diamonds, when in fact the diamonds we seek are found within us and our hometown, from whence we came. Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.  
Today's Guest: Rod James
Rod was born and raised in Riviera Beach District 1 (Monroe Heights) and is running to “Represent” you and your voices!
Rod attended Palm Beach Gardens High School and later on became a Police Officer, Entrepreneur & Philanthropist. Through his prior business ownerships, philanthropic deeds and disciplined Law Enforcement, he plans to bring to the office a culmination of practical skills, knowledge and experiences including but not limited to, attention to detail, project management, sales, negotiations, business development and management, but MOST importantly his passion for helping others. Seeing the changes or lack thereof, Rod decided to show his vast leadership skills by running as a true no nonsense, non-partisan Reformer. One that is for REAL POSITIVE CHANGE benefiting the people!
His belief that “the people closest to the problems are the people closest to the solutions” will prove inevitable in his effort to bring the people together as one collective and combined voice for the advocacy of REAL POSITIVE CHANGE by establishing the Civilian Oversight Board after taking office, but Rod is just one man and cannot do this alone. He will need your help and support!
