What if the courage to succeed starts with the courage to embrace who you truly are?
In this episode of *Perfectly Flawed*, I sat down with **Lewis Crompton** to talk about the bravery it’s taken him to reclaim his truth. As a young man, he grew up in north London with well-meaning parents and a church community that led him to believe he was deeply flawed for being gay. So much so that he agreed to undergo “treatment and interventions” before eventually making his peace—and learning to fully embrace what he once saw as a flaw.
Lewis’ journey didn’t stop there. From training as a therapist at 19, to burning out in retail, to discovering investing and trading, he has carved a path that blends personal transformation with financial empowerment. Today, he helps others escape the rat race, build sustainable income, and live life on their own terms.
Together, we explore:
💡 The courage it takes to confront deeply held beliefs about yourself.
💡 How setbacks and challenges can be reframed as opportunities for growth.
💡 Why embracing your perceived flaws is the foundation for authentic success.
🎧 Tune in for a conversation full of honesty, resilience, and inspiration—and hear how Lewis turned what once felt like a limitation into his greatest strength.
Lewis grew up in north London to teacher parents. He went to the local church where he discovered a skill and desire to help other which led to him training as a therapist at the age of 19. When he burned out in his early 20’s, he found himself working in retail. At this point, he decided retail and corporate was not the life for him. That’s when he discovered investing and trading. He went into debt to get access to mentorship with Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad team. After 7 months, he left his job and started travelling the world. Feeling dissatisfied with not fulfilling his core mission, Lewis started teaching others how to trade, helping them to escape the rat race and develop an income generating skill.
