Ep. 001 Part 1: The Power of Thankfulness feat. Yeimy Fermin

In Part 1 of this conversation, Yasser sits down with Yeimy to explore what gratitude looks like in real life—not as a holiday slogan, but as a lived-out rhythm. Yeimy shares her journey from Colombia to New York and eventually Winston-Salem, and how a promise she made at 16 years old turned into a 20-year story of hard work and perseverance. She opens up about being the oldest sibling, raising two sons, building a career at The Budd Group, and the mentors who helped shape her path. Throughout her story runs a powerful theme of appreciation how she practices it daily, how she teaches it to her team, and how finding “one thing to be thankful for every day” keeps her grounded.  This episode invites you to notice the gratitude woven into your own routine and to reflect on the people who helped you along the way. Tune in and come back for Part 2, where we dive deeper into how gratitude fuels leadership. 🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube 🔴 Subscribe here → The Budd Group Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@buddsafety7120/videos] 💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts! 👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share 🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist 📱: Yasser Youssef [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ywyoussef/] www.thebuddgroup.com [http://www.thebuddgroup.com]
