IAM1904 - CEO Provides Access to Mental Health and Fitness Resources

Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects":

In this episode of IAMCEO podcast, Corey Lewis, CEO and Founder of 1AND1 LIFE, shares his journey of promoting mental health and wellness, particularly among the African-American community.

Corey's platform, 1AND1 LIFE, is dedicated to curating and customizing content, tools, and products that address the lack of mental health and fitness resources available for African Americans, especially men. The content curated by Corey and his team seeks to define what mental health and wellness mean to the Black Community and aims to break the associated stigma.

Besides mental health advocacy, Corey is also passionate about performance and fitness. An accomplished athlete, he played football in the Big Ten Conference at The University of Illinois. Despite facing significant challenges, including four ACL surgeries and seven knee surgeries, Corey pushed on to become a certified personal trainer and motivational speaker.
