Today we're talking to Lester Young, founder of Path2Redemption. Path2Redemption offers assistance to those formerly incarcerated, at-risk youth, the homeless population, and anyone in need of resources and/or knowledge of receiving information providing outlets to assist with receiving resources. We also briefly talk about business and the books we're reading right now. Lester Young Jr. is a native of Hilton Head Island, SC. At the age of 19, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until 20 years had been served. Entering prison without the proper education was Lester's biggest struggle. With the support of family and friends, he was able to obtain his G.E.D. then later enroll in a Business Management Course (via mail) as a student of Ashworth College. Lester began drawing attention from prison chaplains, correctional officers, as well as wardens for the interest he expressed in NOT only educating himself but encouraging others to educate themselves as well. With permission for the warden, He began meeting with Chaplain to create templates, course outlines, programs, and classes to instruct and mentor those incarcerated along side him. This is where the idea of "Path2Redemption" was born. He vowed that once he was paroled, he would continue his teachings to motivate others to continue on their own path to redemption. And One year after his release, He started "Path2Redemption". Listen on your favorite podcast app and be sure to subscribe and follow so you can get the notification when a new episode is available!

“The best time to build a network is BEFORE you need it.” - Rory Vaden
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my superpowers is building COMMUNITY. I know how to build authentic relationships, personally and professionally. And I have no qualms in saying that my network is a huge part of my success. The people I surround myself with speak my name up in rooms I'm not in, and show up for me in ways that blow my mind. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's because I've nurtured those connections whether or not they could give me anything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before you ever need anything from someone, forge a real relationship. Before asking for favors, have a conversation (see: random people in DMs). Before wanting a leg up, reach your hand out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You cannot make withdrawals to accounts you haven't made deposits to.
