Published: June 16, 2020, 9:15 a.m.

Everyone has a dad or father story that has become a cornerstone of their existence. That story may be a painful one or a powerful one but the impact of it stretches into multiple areas of our everyday lives. Join me as I interview 13 influential men about the impact that a father story has had on their education, business, families, and self-care.

We all have a gift and we are a gift. There is something within us that we should be planting for the next generation to grow and prosper and to that greatest version of themselves. This is the mission and vision that is the foundation of what Chaz Jackson does. He knows what a child experiences when the foundation of the family is not stable.

Your past is not your fault but it is your responsibility to overcome what you endured in your past.

Allow your obstacles to become your opportunities and know that you maintain the power to make change happen. In May 2012, Chaz's life changed forever as he turned and hit a wooden gate in an attempt to avoid a head-on collision while driving intoxicated. At that moment everything he was carrying, all the baggage of his past decision and relationships, all came to the surface.

"I didn't authentically love myself and it took me going into a rehabilitation clinic to realize it."

Breaking generational chains starts at home and Chaz has important conversations early with his children. He is planting the seed that will produce a harvest for future generations.

He is a former student-athlete and now successful entrepreneur/health-care professional who is impacting hundreds of lives annually as an internal conflict advisor, speaker, and trainer with the John Maxwell Team. He is also an author of a book called “Live, Learn, and Lead Powerfully: A Teen Leadership guide which has made Amazons #1 New release list in Teen and Young Adult category in 2019. He values being a Husband, Father, Teacher, and Man of Faith. He has a passion for assisting young adults and educators in creating phenomenal lives for themselves and others.
