My guest today is from my hometown of Riverside, California. He started a non-profit called Project 57 Inland Empire to help disadvantaged inner-city youth find a new way of living so they can reach their full potential. He encountered obstacles while growing up but he used the his life experiences to better help youth just like him.

About Wining It and Winning
“Winging It and Winning" is a mindset and an expression I live by. It has helped me achieve many goals that I may not have accomplished if I did not take the plunge or fall into self-doubt. According to statistics, I should have ended up being a high school dropout, in an abusive relationship, and suffer from substance abuse. Thankfully I did not experience those things, and I attribute my life success to my mindset.
At a young age, I believed that I was in control of my destiny, living every day to create a life that I always dreamed of. Despite the fact that I was not always academically inclined, I applied to college to pursue my dreams of becoming a licensed clinical social worker. I learned early on with hard work, sacrifice, and consistency, anything is possible.
Mistakes are inevitable in life; however, I do not accept them as setbacks instead of learning and growing opportunities. Life has its challenges, but here I am, winging it and winning. This year has taught me that life is short, and I have a moral obligation to share my experiences with those willing to listen. Thankfully I beat the odds; I want to encourage other people that they can too!
