We had the good fortune of connecting with Derrick Ferguson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derrick, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I feel like anyone trying to grow their own brand have to take risk. You usually have to try different methods out until you come up with what works. Once you figure out what works for you take bigger risks and just keep going. Taking risk has played a major role in my life because I’ve always knew it was necessary. Even when things didn’t work out the way I wanted it got me closer to what I was trying to achieve.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I believe what sets me apart is just having a passion for what I’m doing helping people. I’ve always been in sales and my ultimate goal was to be able to help people. I beleive the reason for where I am now is mainly because I didn’t give up. It definitely wasn’t easy changing careers and having to build a new identity. Overcoming that challenge I just kept being consistent and working even when it didn’t seem like anything was happening. My story has always been going where my passion is never about going where the money was.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well I would definitely take them out to the day party scene in downtown dallas. Maybe go to a brunch spot before hand. Dallas is very big on brunch and day parties on Sunday. Just depends on what kind of vibe the person wants. Rockwall has some really nice restaurants on the lake as well. Grand Prairie epic center is a really good vibe also a lot of new places around that area.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’ve had many people I actually learned from along the way. Learning from others in different ways on what to do and not to do. I’ve always been a person who takes a little bit from everyone and always open to learning new ways to develop. So I would say that list would be a long list of people. From co workers to my dad and a few good books. 7 habits of highly successful people, way of the superior man being one of my favorite books.
