Making A Difference: Prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams and scholarship opportunities.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith. She has a business degree from the University of Oklahoma. She is the owner of Scholar Ready, an educational services company. She meets with clients online and her company Scholar Ready tutors Math, conducts personal essay writing workshops, and prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. Houston native, entrepreneur, and educator, Jennifer Ledwith understood from a young age that education and literacy were crucial to success. Again and again, people told her that her mother — a single parent with serious debt and no child support — made too much money for her to get any free money for college. She didn't finish in the top 10% of her high school class (which is academic poison in her home state of Texas). Thankfully, her PSAT scores were high, and she could write the essays to get the money. She knew how to beg for money tactfully in 100 words. She knew why she wanted to get a business degree from the University of Oklahoma. From her junior year of high school to her junior year of college, she wrote essays for over 30 scholarships. She won enough money to pay for tuition and fees. She had the most scholarships when she walked across the stage at graduation. The announcer was still reading them after she had crossed the stage. Even then, she didn't have enough money for school. She worked and worked and continued to apply for scholarships. She graduated from an out-of-state university (University of Oklahoma) with no credit card debt and only $1,000 in student loans. Hey, a girl needs plane tickets. Jennifer Ledwith is the owner of Scholar Ready, an educational services company. She meets with clients online. She also studied Personal Financial Planning at Rice University and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. Company Description *Scholar Ready tutors Math, conducts personal essay writing workshops, and prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. Many of Scholar Ready's students have earned academic scholarships, including full rides to Mississippi Valley State University, Fordham University, Texas A & M University, and the University of Houston-Clear Lake. We strive to instill our students with confidence that is earned and true. We teach them how to learn, how to advocate for what they need in the classroom, how to study, and how to set goals and expectations. We do not allow our students to be limited by experiences of the world they currently inhabit. We want them to have the confidence and work ethic to reach a better life and achieve any goal they set for themselves. #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perseverance: Wrote his own parole plan and gained his freedom, now offers service to inmates seeking parole.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dominique Leonard. Founder of Jus' Free: 🎙️ Interview Summary Guest: Dominique LeonardBusiness: Jus' Free – a parole package provider that helps incarcerated individuals present themselves effectively to the Board of Pardons and Paroles. 🧭 Purpose of the Interview To share Dominique Leonard’s powerful journey from incarceration to entrepreneurship, and to highlight how his experience led to the creation of Jus' Free, a business that helps inmates humanize themselves and improve their chances of parole. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. From Life Sentence to Liberation Dominique was sentenced to life for a non-aggravated robbery (bank robbery with a note, no weapon). He discovered that non-aggravated life sentences allow parole eligibility after 5.5 years. After being denied parole once, he fired his legal team and created his own parole package. 2. Birth of Jus' Free Dominique’s self-made parole package led to his release after 7.5 years. He promised God that if released, he would help others—thus founding Just Free. The business helps inmates understand and prepare for parole through personalized packages. 3. Faith and Family as Pillars Dominique credits his faith in God and support from his family for his transformation. He remained trouble-free in prison, focused on personal growth and redemption. 4. Business Model and Impact He began by contacting inmates via the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) website. His success rate is 82% for helping clients secure parole. Offers continued support even if clients are denied parole initially. 5. Reentry and Humility Upon release, Dominique took a warehouse job paying \$8/hour to reintegrate into society. He later pursued paralegal certification to strengthen his legal knowledge. 💬 Notable Quotes “I had to humanize myself in the walls of prison.” “If I sit there with a life sentence and now I’m free… you can’t tell me God isn’t good.” “Jus' Free makes sure we humanize every person incarcerated who’s been dehumanized.” “I made a bad decision. That doesn’t make me a bad person.” “I knew it wasn’t going to be my end. That was my start.” 📞 Contact Info Website: JusFree.com Phone: (713) 306-9620 Social Media: Dominique Leonard on Instagram and Facebook #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
