From Survival to Significance

I’m Steven L. Smith, Certified Self-Transformation Coach.
I help men rebuild their lives with clarity, courage, and discipline — because I’ve lived the journey myself.

I was born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, where poverty, addiction, and violence were a part of daily life. At 22, homeless and battling addiction, I made a decision that changed everything — to reclaim my life. I entered treatment, embraced accountability, and committed fully to personal growth.

That decision became the foundation for a 28-year journey of sobriety, leadership, and service. What began as survival evolved into a mission: helping other men rise above their circumstances and step into their true potential.
