Frank Jackson is a writer, speaker, and founder of The Pearl Effect, and that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of who he is, and what he does.

After losing his mom at age 9 and his dad at 23, Frank has turned his pain into positivity, earning his Masters of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

In this episode, Frank joins @PeopleTalkingSittingDown to discuss how he’s processed, coped, and reflected on these experiences in life, which has led him to share his story as one of strength, in a way that has allowed him to not only survive, but to thrive in the face of adversity.
