You know I have a LOT to say about the system and how it needs to be improved. Pick an area - we can make progress everywhere. Today’s guest on The Be Ruthless Show has lived it all - and his story has not one, but several examples of where we need to change and grow in this world.

As a motivational speaker, coach, and activist, Sonny Von Cleveland is passionate about sharing his story to aid and inspire people to choose growth from adversity because he has done just that. As a child, over the course of five years, Sonny was the repeated victim of sexual molestation by multiple men, which led him to become an angry adolescent that saw him incarcerated at age sixteen for eighteen years.

Since his release, he has mentored and worked with hundreds of individuals to encourage them to own their stories so that they too can recognize they have a choice - they can choose to live in victimhood, or they can choose to forgive, let go, grow, and empower themselves to live fulfilling meaningful lives. Sonny’s core message is that it's not what happens to us or what we have done that defines us; it's how we choose to move forward and grow those matters.
