Marcus sits down with award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, mental health advocate, and social activist, Reggie D. Ford.
Despite having a traumatic upbringing with no dad in the picture, Reggie was determined to break the cycle for himself, starting with getting an MBA.
About Regie:
As a mental health advocate, Reggie’s mission is to help people build mental resilience and lead fulfilling lives through life’s challenges. He aims to provide hope and inspire change by sharing his story of perseverance and educating people so they can understand, cope with, and thrive after trauma and adversity.
Defying odds and thriving in even the most unfavorable situations is what Reggie does best. His experiences have brought him to a place of insight, knowledge, and wisdom beyond his years. Despite facing multi-generational trauma and systemic racism, Reggie’s resilience and ability to rise above serves as an inspiration to others facing similar circumstances and a beacon of hope for our collective futures.
Raised in poverty by a single teenage mother, Reggie has been fortunate to receive an education from some of the most elite institutions. This diverse background has helped him understand the common threads that run through humanity. He is an old soul, a lifelong learner, a humble teacher, and a natural go-getter, bringing a unique and valued perspective to those around him. He empowers everyone he encounters as he continues to grow into his best self. His story of turning the pain and struggle of his past into peace and abundance captivates audiences and makes him the epitome of perseverance.
Reggie is an award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, mental health advocate, and social activist. He is also a proud husband of Katie and dad to their beloved dog Rosie. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, cooking, reading, practicing and teaching yoga, and spending time with loved ones.
