In today’s episode, author and entrepreneur Lorenzo Lewis tells you the amazing story of how he is changing the lives of over 3 million people a year.
His story is so inspiring, and I wanted you to meet Lorenzo because I know he’ll inspire you to think bigger about making a difference in your community or the world at large.
Lorenzo had no funding, influence, or experience. He just had a simple idea and a very big heart. And that’s all you need to make the world a better place.
When Lorenzo was born, the odds were already stacked against him: his mother gave birth to him while she was in jail. His father died in prison. He was raised by his aunt and uncle. As a child, he struggled with anger, anxiety, and depression and was labeled a problem.
You’ll hear about the defining moment when Lorenzo made the decision to turn his life around. He graduated from college and started working in health and human services. That was where, at the age of 24, he had an idea about creating a mental health movement that is now changing millions of lives.
“The Confess Project” was born.
Lorenzo’s nonprofit trains barbers and beauticians to be mental health advocates for the men, women, and children who are sitting in their chairs.
Now 3,000 mental health advocates across the country are changing the lives of over 3 million people a year.
It’s an absolutely incredible story.
Today, you will learn:
I can’t wait for you to meet, learn from, and be inspired by Lorenzo.
His story is proof that it’s never too late to change your own life and that when you see a problem you want to solve, lean into it.
You’ll not only help other people; you’ll surprise yourself with how much of a difference you can make.
