Charles Hew-Len may be one of the most inspiring Kickasspirational podcasts of 2022. He has broken through more barriers in life than most of us will ever have to navigate.
Born into a difficult life on Oahu, Hawaii’s West Side, Charles found success earning a black belt in karate, an Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts and as a Riflery Instructor in the Marines.
Re-entering civilian life, Charles found himself in a difficult situation with a family construction business and chose to make ends meet selling narcotics that cost him eight years of his life in federal prison as well as his family and everything he owned.
In prison, Charles spent his time doing a lot of interior work, realizing that happiness didn’t come from his environment or what he had, but that he was enough, he was loved and that giving, not getting is where deep joy originates.
Borrowing $800 from his mother when we left prison, Charles has created a real estate empire in Hawaii and is investing in his West Side neighborhood to transform the schools and community.
Worthy listen for anyone working on personal and situational transformation
