The Challenges of Addiction: A Zero-Hero Story
Zero to Hero is the true-life story of Dr. Eddie Moore Jr. as he takes participants from his youth growing up facing the challenges of poverty, drugs and alcohol in a Florida “hood” to his role as a national leader, educator, consultant and motivational speaker. Honest, raw and challenging, participants will hear the story of how, despite a support system, the temptations of ‘street life’ left him facing addictions, scared, insecure, lost and out of control. But this is not the story of the “Zero.” This is the story of how when those around you believe in you, and can convince you to believe in yourself, then anything really is possible. For those who are facing life’s many, many challenges, this is a powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, hard, work, determination and Moore. The “Hero” is about excellence, achievement, capabilities, opportunities. The “Hero” means focus, attitude, community and excellence. These are some of the key things connected to leadership, building relationships, creating change, athletics, academics and Moore. This session is designed to leave participants enlightened and empowered to change the world, one person at a time.
