Believing in Yourself: The Key to Success Empowering YOU Podcast Episode 8

Empower YOU Podcast with Latasha Henry

James Sweat, a motivational speaker, author, and life coach, shares his inspiring journey of overcoming adversity. From growing up in a rough neighborhood and resorting to selling drugs to survive, to getting shot, going to jail, and experiencing homelessness, James has faced numerous challenges. However, he made a decision to turn his life around and pursued personal growth and self-improvement. He obtained his security guard license and CDL, got a full pardon, and started driving trucks. But then, a spinal injury forced him to relearn how to walk. Through therapy and self-reflection, James found his purpose in helping others. He became a recovery coach and now offers life coaching services, writes books, and gives motivational speeches. His main message is that no matter what you've been through, you can always change your life around and find success.
