In this episode, we discuss Tommy’s story. As a child, he had been a victim of child abandonment that set him on a journey of neglect, instability, and emotional abuse that landed him into foster care at the age of 14. Realizing he didn’t want to be a “victim”, Tommy decided to flip the script. He started writing “The Greatest Advantage”, a novel about his life and how he overcame such a tough childhood and has sold over 8000 copies to this day. WRITING THE BOOK IN ONLY 3 MONTHS AT THE AGE OF 14, he was a published author at 15. In this powerful autobiography, he dives into the power of perspective when overcoming challenges, pushing readers to align themselves with the voice of truth as they navigate their passage to joy and productivity in spite of adversity. We all are born in different situations. It’s the choices we make that define who we will become in life.
