With his profound educational background, including a BS in Management and Organizational Development from Bethel University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from Walden University, Hank has managed to turn the scars of his past into powerful lessons for others. Born and raised in Dyersburg, TN, in a highly dysfunctional family, Hank worked in an equally dysfunctional family business for 27 grueling years. The constant stress and turmoil led him to leave in 2012 and seek solace in Nashville, TN. It was there that his journey took a sudden, steep plunge. Despite being recruited by Farmers Insurance, Hank lost everything due to crippling anxiety, depression, PTSD, and developmental trauma that rooted from his turbulent past and the mobbing/ostracization perpetrated by members of his family. Homelessness became his reality for a heart-wrenching five years.In 2016, Hank hit rock bottom. Yet, it was from this very place that he began his climb toward redemption. Sobriety became his shield, and with the support of a driving job in 2018 that had him living in the back of a Sprinter van for a year, he managed to regain his foothold in society. His time in the Sprinter van was not only a testament to his resilience, but it was also his university on wheels - Hank filed his back taxes, enrolled at Walden University's online graduate program in clinical psychology and earned half of his master's degree in these humble conditions.Today, Hank is not merely a survivor, but a beacon of hope for others grappling with their own personal demons. Through his work and his popular podcast, he helps countless people discover their strength, face their fears, and create the lives they deserve, firmly believing that even in the darkest corners of life, there is always a way out.lihat lebih sedikit
