How to Find Free Help and Reclaim Your Life with Matthew Lesko

How to Find Free Help and Reclaim Your Life with Matthew Lesko

In this high-energy and heartfelt episode of the Positive Leadership Academy Podcast, host Javier Llerena sits down with the iconic and unforgettable Matthew Lesko—the man in the question-mark suit who's been shouting from the rooftops for decades about free government money and resources most people don’t know exist.

Javier shares a deeply personal story of how Lesko’s work helped him keep his electricity running during tough times, and they dive into how millions of Americans can access free help for essentials like utilities, food, healthcare, legal aid, and more—especially through platforms like findhelp.org.

Lesko unpacks:

  • Why Google is the worst place to search if you're low on funds

  • How 40% of the U.S. economy is made up of nonprofit and government programs

  • The biggest myth about "free money"

  • How mindset and persistence are key to unlocking these resources

  • Why it's time to follow your heart—not just your head

They also get real about the role of media, personal responsibility, and what true leadership looks like—starting with showing up for your community.

This episode is packed with practical advice, inspiration, and a healthy dose of contagious energy that will leave you motivated to act.
