Of course. So look, amazing journey. Literally what legacy is all about, right? Coming from adversity, changing your own life and then wanting to change the lives of others. So I really love that. Let's dive in. Tell us the story. Homeless to where you are now. Try and summarize it for me.
Barbara Parker 2:12
So I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. My mom then raised me in Atlanta, Georgia. And then I decided to move to Akron, Ohio. So in that course of moving, I did not prepare well. I trusted the wrong friend and I ended up homeless. Me and my young son, he was four. And from there, I rebuilt my life and started going to school, lost my cousin as a result of intimate partner violence and decided I didn't want to see that happen to anyone else and decided to start an agency dedicated to protecting and decreasing risk factors for people.
Rudy Mawer 2:53
Wow. And then what about let's fast forward to present day. How are you? Tell us about what you're doing today, how you're helping people, a bit of the system that you've got.
Barbara Parker 3:03
So the system that we have right now, I'm working with Daymond John, Grant Cardone, Mikey Edwards, Montana Love, and also Ted Ginn to help make sure that we're able to impact teens and adolescents to have lives where they're protecting themselves before it becomes an issue. And with that program, we're also helping their parents and couples.
Rudy Mawer 3:32
Got it. And, you know, it's so great what you're doing. Right. And like I said, how does it feel just, you know, going from that homeless position where, you know, worst possible situation right to now being able to save other people and save them from that and change their life? Like just big picture, how does that feel to be full circle?
Barbara Parker 3:54
Oh, it feels amazing. Like, it's a thing that helps me get up every day, especially during a hard day when I have somebody who comes to me and say, hey, you saved my life. Hey, I didn't think I could finish school. Hey, you know, I started this business. Seeing their victories is what keeps me motivated.
Rudy Mawer 4:12
Yeah, sure. So tell us about the system to help them do that, though. Right. Like, you know, I know you've got your own methodology and you've developed that and you've helped hundreds of people, thousands of people already. And you have the big mission to help 44 million.
