‘Sauce Mackenzie’ was born in Gary, Indiana within a community that encouraged him to pursue
his wants and desires at a young age. Unfortunately, his own recklessness would lead him into
learning the hard lessons of such a pursuit, causing him to forfeit his freedom in the early stages
of his manhood. As the deception of his will would force him to repay his debt to society behind
bars, he would formulate a plan to repay that debt in full by honoring not only the future
generation, but also his beloved mother who had passed away without ever seeing her son
make it to the right side of liberty. Today, Sauce is here to share his story on how he evolved
from a man running on empty to a man whose cup is running over. From street ordinary to
extraordinary streets, this man is an example of what it means to turn a willful error into an era
of prosperity. He is now a family man, business man, entrepreneur, coach, mentor, community
leader, volunteer, and a token to the evolution of a young black man. Prepare yourself to enter
into the mind of a strategist, and to join the conversation of how a change begins with you.
