"Where you start does not have to dictate where you
finish." This powerful theme is at the heart
of CJ Stewart’s life story. Stewart is the CEO
of Diamond Directors and Executive Director
of L.E.A.D (Launch, Expose, Advise, Direct). He grew up
in one of the most dangerous housing projects in Atlanta, Georgia.
Despite the odds stacked against him and with the help
of his community and strangers who saw his
potential, Stewart went on to play competitive high
school and college baseball and was eventually
drafted by the Chicago Cubs.
In this candid conversation with Joy Economics host, Shani
Godwin, learn more about Stewart’s rise and find out how he is
building a legacy by not only training future baseball stars, but
impacting at risk, inner-city, minority youth facing insurmountable
odds just like he did so many years ago.
