On today’s episode of the podcast, I speak with Timothy Stewart who is currently a coach, speaker and Author but before all of this. He had been addicted to drugs for numerous years. At the age of 40, he found himself homeless, hopeless, and penniless. He had 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts and about $8 dollars in my pocket. He had been in the Air Force, attended NYU, worked for IBM and UPS, and spent a number of years in corporate America, yet he was a very broken human being. He was spiritually, emotionally, and physically bankrupt. The good life was a thing of the past, and he felt broken, in despair and like he felt like giving up on life. Timothy discusses how he broke the cycle of addiction and how he is now helping others to reach their potential.

 We talk about his childhood and how older men in his life impacted him negatively and positively. We also discuss the issues with rehabs and how our thinking could

On today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll hear from Kwamane Harris. Kwamane has worked in various social care settings in the US. He is also the Author of Pushing the Generation forward. My book is designed to encourage children, young people and adults to find their purpose by empowering the next generation. This means that despite the trauma, hardship, poverty, oppression, racism, and generational curses we’ve experienced in life we have to develop the mindset to Push the Generations Forward for our children’s children.

Kwamane comes onto the podcast to talk about his new book, how we can build positive relationships with young people, mental health within social care, intergenerational wealth and how the next generation can be supported in reaching their full potential.

Here is a little about Kwamane’s book:

“Pushing the Generations Forward” is a positive mindset that shifts focus from the hardships of one’s life to an idea of hope and a mindset of pushing towards a better future, pushing past all of the tough times so that you can make a better future for the next generation. This paradigm shift replaces the struggle for survival with the opportunity for personal growth, the discovery of a special Calling and the creation of one's best self.  Significantly, a Purpose centred outside of oneself, with the goal of building strength and resilience, not just for ourselves, but for future generations, is an integral part of the process of Pushing the Generations Forward.
