Welcome to The Lionhearted, a podcast featuring stories by the brave and badass people who spend their lives fighting the one thing absolutely no one wants to talk about - child sexual abuse.
In this second of a special two-part interview spotlighting Jim Clemente, you'll hear how Jim went undercover with the FBI to make a case against the man who abused him and countless other young boys. You'll also hear how he overcame cancer that he got from helping at the World Trade Center after the September 11th attacks, among other truly movie-like experiences he's been through. The most inspiring people are those that have been through enormous hardships and not only survived, but have turned their stories into something bigger than themselves. No one exemplifies this better than Jim Clemente. And in typical Clemente-fashion, Jim tells his stories with equal parts passion and optimism.
We hope you will appreciate his engrossing storytelling and his deep knowledge and wisdom.
