In this episode, Nick speaks with Sylvester Jenkins III, who had a pretty rough upbringing. His mother was a teen mom and became a high school dropout. She worked 12 hours a day just to make ends meet, but that left Sylvester alone. He fell into gangs and drugs but still wanted to graduate because he didn’t want to have the same struggles his mother had.
After school, Sylvester joined the army, got married, and had a child. While deployed, he was going through a divorce, but Sylvester bottled everything up, so he was combatting war and combatting his relationship. He came home to nothing; he lost the house, his bank account was empty, and he had no car.
He was ready to end it all. It was his child who saved his life. He does not want his child to grow up the same way he did… without a father. So, he had to start looking inward for that interior warrior. Shifting his mindset, he now has the goal and purpose of helping others.
