🎙️ EPISODE 7 of S.H.A.R.E. The Transformation Initiative podcast IS LIVE! 🎧

You made the decision to change… but did your environment get the memo?

🔥 Episode 7: The Power of Environment — What’s Around You and What’s Within You is shaping who you are being!

The people, conversations, relationships, media, and spaces surrounding us can either support our transformation—or quietly sabotage it.

Listen now. Follow. Share. And ask yourself:

Is my environment helping me become who I’m trying to become or dragging me back to who I was?

THANK YOU! Every like. Every share. Every book purchased. Every invitation to speak. Every conversation. Thank you. ❤️

Whether you’ve been following my journey for years or you’re just joining this community—welcome. If you’re new here, I’d love for you to join the journey. Follow along, subscribe to the different platforms, listen to the podcast, and share the message. Go to my Linktree for all activities.

People often ask why I do so many different things.

The answer is simple:

Because transformation takes more than one conversation.

“I don’t believe people are their worst mistake. I believe people are capable of becoming their greatest contribution.”

I am a living manifestation of that belief and represent the possibilities for others.

That’s why I write books.
That’s why I speak and moderate.
That’s why I interview.
That’s why I take part in documentaries.
That’s why I mentor.
That’s why I facilitate workshops.
That’s why I host a podcast.
That’s why I do spoken word poetry.
That’s why I act and dance in films.
That’s why I narrate the words of incarcerated people.
That’s why I partner with organizations.
That’s why I advocate for people impacted by the justice system.
That’s why I work inside prisons and reentry programs.
That’s why I help people build financial intelligence, personal leadership, healing, and hope.

Every part of this work is connected by one mission:

Helping people discover that their past does not have to determine their present or future.

It doesn’t matter if you were bullied or the bully.

When people heal, families heal.
When families heal, communities become stronger.
When communities become stronger, we all become safer.

So whether you’ve purchased a book, invited me to speak, gifted/donated, partnered with me, prayed for me, shared a post, or simply encouraged me along the way…

THANK YOU!

Your support isn’t just supporting me.

You’re helping build lives, strengthen families, and create safer communities—one transformed person at a time.

Purpose. People. Progress. That’s the mission.

A couple of posts ago, I posted about my podcast and had a survey in the post that people missed in the first comment!

Let’s try that again! Interested in taking a deeper dive on the topics covered in the “SHARE The Transformation Initiative” Podcast? #podcast #selfempowerment #transformation

🎉 The movement is growing!

You can now experience S.H.A.R.E. The Transformation Initiative Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts!

Where do you listen to your podcasts? Comment below!

Choose your favorite platform, subscribe, follow, and SHARE it with someone who’s rebuilding their life.

This podcast is different.

Most people tell their story after they’ve overcome the struggle.

I’m choosing to share mine while I’m still rebuilding.

As a formerly incarcerated person, life coach, author, transformational leader, and father, I’m inviting you into the process—not just the outcome. Together we’ll talk about the setbacks, the lessons, the breakthroughs, and the principles I’m applying in real time. My hope is that we’ll celebrate the “after” together.

💬 I have a question for you…

The podcast episodes are generally under an hour. Would you be interested in going much deeper into these conversations—unpacking the principles, asking questions, and exploring practical ways to apply them to your own life?

If that interests you, simply comment “DIVE” below.

Your feedback will help shape what’s next for the S.H.A.R.E. community.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s keep sharing the transformation—because when we share transformation, we create the possibility for transformation in someone else’s life.

🚨 Today is the day! 🚨

S.H.A.R.E. The Transformation Initiative Podcast is officially premiering on YouTube today! 🎉

You can now listen and watch on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.

But this isn’t just another podcast.

Most people tell their story after they’ve made it. They hide the struggle and only share the success.

I’m doing something different. We are walking through the Struggle together!

I’m sharing the rebuilding—the setbacks, the lessons, the victories, and the principles I’m applying in real time as a formerly incarcerated person, a father, life coach, author, and transformational leader.

Because that’s where most of us live… in the middle.

My hope is that by sharing my transformation, you’ll discover your own—and that we’ll celebrate the “after” together.

🎙️ Choose your favorite platform, subscribe, and if someone in your life is rebuilding, share this podcast with them. Transformation is even more powerful when it’s shared!

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️🔥

Episode 6 of the SHARE The Transformation Initiative Podcast is LIVE!

“What Compels Transformation? / Faith It, So You Can Make It”

What finally causes someone to change?

Why do some people stay stuck for years while others rise from adversity and completely transform their lives?

In this powerful episode of S.H.A.R.E. The Transformation Initiative, I explore the catalysts that move us beyond our comfort zones and into the unknown. Discover why lasting transformation is driven by either pain or pleasure, and why faith, hope, purpose, and vision give us the courage to take the first step—even when we can’t see the entire path.

💡 One of the biggest lessons from this episode:
Don’t just get out of your comfort zone… become comfortable with being uncomfortable. That’s where growth happens. That’s where transformation begins.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to pursue your purpose, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio—and share it with someone who’s ready to stop settling and start becoming.

The question isn’t whether transformation is possible…

The question is: What is compelling YOU forward? (Comment below!)

🔔🔔🔥Episode 5 of the S.H.A.R.E. The Transformation Initiative Podcast dropped now!

We explore Identity, and why it is so critical in the process of transformation. Identity can either fuel transformation to happen or stop it cold in its tracks! What is identity? How do we get it, and if it’s not working for us, how do we transform it?

Want to know the answer to these compelling questions? 🤔

🔔GO listen to the podcast 🔔 on Spotify, Apple podcast, and now officially, on iHeartRadio!!

Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button! They say for a podcast like mine should have over 60 subscribers. I have less than that, so I’m gonna need your support!

Again, if you’re getting value, please subscribe, leave positive uplifting commentary, and share the show, so other people can discover it and get value too. That’s the key.

Remember, sharing is caring and that’s why I created the podcast; to share the transformation!

Let’s get it

When the universe continues to send you consistent messaging, no matter where you randomly go. I went to Kenneisha Park in @cityofpomona to see friends and watch some of them perform. I walked around and ended up randomly at a raffle where I won this canvas! The subject of the campus has been a big part of the conversation I’ve been having in this season of my life. #grateful #theuniversehasyourback #nocoincidence #divinetiming #trusttheprocess
