Defying The Odds - feat. Tom Seeman

In this episode, Leslie sits down with Tom Seeman, author of the compelling memoir, Animals I Want to See.

Tom's extraordinary journey takes us from the projects of Toledo, Ohio, where he grew up as one of twelve children in extreme poverty, to the hallowed halls of Yale and Harvard Law School.

Tom's story is a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the impact of unexpected heroes. From neighbors to teachers, Tom's life was shaped by mentors who saw his potential and guided him toward success.

Today, Tom enjoys a thriving career in private equity and dedicates himself to giving back to the institutions and organizations that played crucial roles in his transformation.

Join Leslie and Tom as they delve into the experiences that forged his character, the challenges he overcame, and the lessons he learned along the way.

Tune in for an uplifting discussion that will not only inspire you but also reignite your belief in the power of perseverance and the potential for positive change, no matter where you start in life.
