Overcoming Setbacks With A Childlike Mind With Leon Ford | #6

The Spencer Sherman Podcast

When faced with traumatic situations, it can be difficult to pick ourselves back up and continue. Leon Ford is all too familiar with this, narrating how a horrendous event that happened when he was only 19 years old almost took not just his life but that childlike mind. What was supposed to be a simple drive to his grandmother’s house ended with him being shot five times by an officer. Now, he is an activist, author, mindfulness teacher, and speaker who inspires resilience and serves his community. In this episode, he joins Spencer Sherman to share how he bounced back from that dark time in his life and offers lessons on overcoming tough situations. Leon dives deep into the childlike mind, why we lose it as adults, and the benefits to keeping it alive within us. Whether you’re experiencing financial or non-financial setbacks in life, this conversation will help you see through the challenges your way. Tap into that inner child and allow it to guide you towards finding opportunities.
