What if the hardest chapter of your life became the foundation of your purpose? In this powerful and deeply human episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, justice reform advocate Louis L. Reed shares how he transformed 14 years of incarceration into a life of impact, leadership, and influence. From the moment he realized his sentence didn’t have to be his story, Louis began redefining success not by income or accolades, but by alignment, faith, and the change he could spark in others. Through vivid storytelling and lived wisdom, he reveals the lessons learned in “the white space” between the lines those unseen moments of resilience that shape who we become.

Olivia and Louis explore what true freedom really means, why your story is your greatest superpower, and how to move from seeking a seat at the table to building your own. This conversation challenges you to look beyond the highlight reel, confront your own “white space,” and remember that every setback holds the seed of purpose. If you’ve ever questioned your path or doubted your power, this episode will reignite your belief in second chances and remind you that redemption isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice.
