Part 2 – From 22 Gunshots to Grief Guide: Tony Lynch's Journey from Gang Life to Healing Others

In this powerful continuation of our two-part conversation, Tony Lynch shares how he escaped a life of gangs, gun violence, prison, and homelessness to become a leading voice in men’s grief support. Shot 22 times, abandoned as a child, and involved in a drive-by by age 11, Tony’s story is a raw, real look at trauma—and what it means to rise from it.

Now the founder of the nonprofit Memories of Us, Tony helps men face loss, process pain, and find purpose. This episode dives into his transformation, his mission, and the tools he's giving to men walking through the darkest valleys of grief.
