Special Boys to Men Series with Lindsay Z. Mnguni

Published: June 30, 2020, 3:39 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.

When a father leaves a home and doesn't return the mother and siblings tend to carry the family. Lindsay knows this story all too well because he lived this story while growing up in South Africa. The statement that "it takes a village to raise children" is very evident as his Uncles stepped in at times to fill the space his father left when he walked away. It instilled in him a sense of community and he made a vow that he would not be an absentee father to his own children.

Lindsay gives credit to his mother and his wife for softening his heart and helping to create the man that he is today.

Some life lessons he shared were:
~ Don't get comfortable taking short cuts
~ Take time to sit and pray over your journey
~ Find and marry a person who supports you

With 20 years as a firefighter, Lindsay has been able to have many memorable moments including publishing his first book "Firefighter: First and Foremost" Firefighter: First and Foremost is the first book that he has published as he attempts to let us into his life as a firefighter, where it all started; and the rescue missions that he has been to – in Haiti, Japan, and the Philippines. Enjoy the mesmerizing style and his catchy talent, as also reviewed and endorsed by the various prominent people.

In his own words:
‘In my life, I have tried to be dedicated, determined, and disciplined; and to stay focused on achieving my dreams, no matter what the circumstances are. It has not been easy, but I have always believed that I can do it. Success doesn’t come easily. But the fruit of hard work is a success. I am almost certain that with faith, love, and hope, great things are achieved. Thank you.’- Lindsay Z. Mnguni.
