Words of the Wise

42: Larry Abed


Listen Later

Larry Abed is more than a professor—he’s a life coach, mentor, and lifelong learner who believes in hard work and kindness above all. In this re-released conversation, we talk about:

  • Larry’s childhood growing up in Detroit and the lessons it taught him.

  • How sports and a strong work ethic helped him find his place in the world.

  • His unexpected career path, from newsrooms and ad agencies to a thriving role in academia.

  • The importance of listening to your inner voice and surrounding yourself with mentors who believe in you.

  • What it means to love your work and find purpose in guiding the next generation.

  • Larry has a gift for seeing the best in people, and his advice resonates with everyone—students, professionals, and anyone chasing a dream.


    Soli Deo Gloria.
