Oleg Lougheed's start in life was inauspicious. At 9 years old, he relinquished his parents' rights and entered the Russian orphanage. At 12 years old, he decided to be adopted into a new family, in a new country, halfway across the world, to start a new life. At 24 years old, he began his journey of helping others live the life they have always dreamed of, despite their hardships and misfortunes by allowing them to recognize the uniqueness and worth within their own story. Today Oleg shares his message about resilience and personal stories in a number of ways, including in his Tedx Talk "How To Overcome Your Odds"
