Inspiring Conversations with Wilson Emebunor Jr. of Grit N’ Hustle

Today we’d like to introduce you to Wilson Emebunor Jr.  

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
In college, I majored in Exercise Science. Following the completion of my degree, I wanted to train athletes so I pursued that route in Nashville. I trained different athletes at a few different gyms around town. During that time, I also began coaching group fitness classes. While getting my degree and starting my training career I also worked security gigs and was trained up in that field. A few years later I landed some opportunities to work in the entertainment industry training and doing security detail for some different people. It was pretty cool to mesh both worlds together. This led me to create my own business and to where I am now!  

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Every job has its ups and downs. How we adjust and correct is what moves us to keep going. Still to this day I struggle with the ups and downs of owning a business. Some months are great and some not so great. Finding the right people to create a great team is always a challenge too. Learning everything on the business side of things can be a great challenge, and finding the right people that can help steer you in the right direction.  

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

I have learned that true happiness comes from keeping your priorities straight with my Faith being the highest.
