About

All that you have inside of you – Is all you need.

Meet the man behind SelfTransformation369 — a father, mentor, and coach who turned pain, discipline, and spiritual clarity into a mission to transform men’s lives.

I’m Steven L. Smith, Certified Self Transformation Coach — helping men break cycles, build purpose, and rise into who they’re meant to be.

My Journey: From Survival to Significance

I didn’t grow up with privilege, comfort, or convenience. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago — surrounded by poverty, violence, addiction, and the kind of instability that breaks most young men before they ever discover their potential.

At 26, I hit the lowest point of my life: homeless, broken, and battling addiction. But that moment became my turning point. I made the decision to rise. I completed treatment, got clean, rebuilt my life, and stayed clean for over three decades.

I worked full-time while earning my degree from DePaul University, and later pursued graduate studies in marketing at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Every step taught me discipline, responsibility, integrity, and courage.

Today, I use my story not to impress anyone — but to guide young men out of the same mental prisons I once lived in. My life is proof that transformation is possible. And now, through SelfTransformation369, I teach men how to reclaim their power, rebuild their identity, and rise into the leaders they were born to be.
