This week I welcome the truly inspiring Perry Power to the podcast. Ranking up over 60M video views and 300k followers on social media, Perry Power raises awareness of intrafamilial child sexual abuse and inspires survivors to break their silence. Perry is a philanthropist, writer, speaker, and coach, with a passion for telling stories that need to be told. Perry's latest book, Breaking The Silence, reached the #1 spot on Amazon for Sexual Abuse and Mental Health. I was joined on this very special episode by my co-host the wonderful Jo Baldwin.


I first heard Perry talk at the Acumen business convention and was blown away by his story, but having the opportunity to go a little deeper was so powerful and inspiring, he is a truly remarkable young man. I went into this episode with some assumptions as to how Perry would answer certain questions, especially our Life in 60 seconds questions, but what was clear from this incredible individual was that what happened to him as a child does not define him, his drive, vision, self belief and self awareness was simply inspiring to see. We do talk about when he was abused and the strength he showed to speak out about it and how breaking his silence has helped so many others around the world do the same.


Three Key lessons:


⭕️ Do not let a situation or incident define who you are


🟥 Have self belief and be unavailable for any other option


🔺Have a vision and do not derail from that path, take the hits and keep moving forward


This a truly powerful, incredible and inspirational episode and I loved his definition of success.
