Oleg Lougheed’s start in life was inauspicious. At 9 years old, he relinquished his parents' rights and entered the Russian orphanage. At 12 years old, he decided to be adopted into a new family, in a new country, halfway across the world, to start a new life. At 24 years old, he began his journey of helping others live the life they have always dreamed of, despite their hardships and misfortunes by allowing them to recognize the uniqueness and worth within their own story.

• How to break free from society and live a life that fulfills you.
• There is no blueprint to life or leadership.
• Not allowing the past to define the future.
• The more you are willing to push yourself, the more you are able to grow.
• Not letting your story define you. It’s important to also realize that many people have similar stories.
• The power of sharing your story and how to approach vulnerability
