Discover BOLD ERG Black History Month Fireside Chat with Will Packer

Programming example

This Black History Month, our ERG, BOLD - Black Organizational Leadership at Discover had the honor of hosting acclaimed filmmaker and entrepreneur Will Packer for a fireside chat that left us all inspired and empowered. Moderated by our own, Maia Davis-Singleton, and with the launch of his new book, "Who Better Than You? The Art of Healthy Arrogance & Dreaming Big", Packer shared his journey of resilience, ambition, and what he calls the art of healthy arrogance—the mindset that allows dreamers to become doers.Throughout the conversation, he emphasized many of his key lessons, including those listed below:1️⃣ Never Give Up – Success isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about refusing to quit. Packer’s journey from humble beginnings to Hollywood success is a testament to perseverance.2️⃣ Be Intentional About Your Sphere of Influence – The people around you shape your mindset and your outcomes. Surround yourself with those who uplift and challenge you.3️⃣ Protect Your Circle – Not everyone deserves access to your energy and vision. Choose wisely who gets a seat at your table.4️⃣ Accomplish Your Goals – Dreaming is just the first step; execution is what separates the greats. Packer reminded us that BOLD action is required to turn vision into reality.We also partnered with Chicago based Ink Factory Studio who brought Will's nuggets of knowledge, visually to life. As we reflect on his words, the question remains: Who Better Than You? To chase your dreams, break barriers, and own your success—because if not you, then who? hashtag#blackhistorymonth hashtag#bold hashtag#erg hashtag#discover hashtag#lifeatdiscover hashtag#discoveremployee
