In today’s episode of Men Thrive, Jeff Johnson is joined community activist, motivational speaker, mentor, advocate Leon Ford. Leon is a living embodiment of courage, using his story as a catalyst for a change. One day he was a teenager with his whole life ahead of him, and in one instant, his life changed forever. Leon not only shares with us the story of his encounter with law enforcement that led to him being shot five times at point-blank range, resulting in paralysis. He also gives us the blueprint of how he chose life and joy instead of death and anger.  Leon is the voice for so many who are now voiceless because they lost their lives to police brutality.  In his resilience, Leon Ford has turned a tragic story into a testimony of love, compassion, and understanding. Tune in to hear how to Leon gives us the tools on how to live a thriving life.
