Gain Personal Growth by Leaving Your Comfort Zone: Interview with Samuel Lyles, former District Attorney turned Ukraine Relief Volunteer
Going outside your comfort zone is a key to growth and success in career and life. In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Samuel D. Lyles, a former Texas Assistant District Attorney, a felony prosecutor with special interest in stopping child trafficking, who quit his job to help children and orphans in battle-worn Ukraine. Against the advice of many family members and friends, Lyles flew to the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa as a boots-on-the-ground volunteer in the Ukraine relief efforts. Clips of his journey have been featured on local, San Antonio television and other news outlets. But in today’s interview, you’ll gain a first-hand understanding of what motivated Samuel, what he’s learned, inspiration and insights for your own life and career journey, and how the decision has changed him in ways he could not have imagined.
