Coach Mike Powell of Beat The Streets Chicago

My guest today is Coach Mike Powell, Executive Director of Beat The Streets Chicago.  

For those who don’t know, Beat the Streets Chicago is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to empowering Chicago youth through wrestling.  With the vision that all Chicago youth can be life champions, Beat the Streets Chicago has built and continues to build a city-wide network of wrestling programs that emphasize the values of integrity, accountability, excellence, gratitude and grit.

In our conversation, Coach Powell takes us on his journey with the organization, gives a behind the scenes look on how it all works, shares some incredible stories of lives that have been impacted by the program, and gets into why wrestling specifically is helping shape tomorrow's leaders.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
