In his spare time, LeRon enjoys mentoring African-American youth, teaching Creative Writing at the San Francisco County Jail, and backpacking around the world.

Stay here because this was a deeply insightful conversation where we spoke about:

🟦 Seeking external validation

🟦 Experiencing self-doubt

🟦 Embracing the things that make you different

🟦 Living in eternal gratitude and service

And

🟦 Believing in yourself and your vision (and how your life changes once you start doing so)
