Leo Simpson II is a community college teacher in Texas. He also is a speaker, entrepreneur and author among other things. He is also known as The Wellness Professor. Leo’s life has always been one of service as he tells us. His grandfather was the pasture of a church which helps explain why Leo comes by an attitude of service honestly. Even from a young age Leo was taught to serve others. As you will hear, Leo is quite the over achiever. In college while studying accounting Leo was involved in a number of campus organizations. At one point during our conversation I asked Leo if he ever learned to say “no”. He responded, “not then, but eventually”. The story is fascinating. After college Leo held down a number of jobs in which he usually excelled. While working for UPS he was recognized as even being able to save the company $20,000,000. Even so, eventually Leo moved on from UPS as you will hear. Leo’s observations about wellness are quite poignant. As you will hear, eventually he adopted an attitude of teaching wellness to people by first helping children learn to adopt a better wellness mindset through his program called “Transform Kids Minds”. His goal is to help over 1,000,000. He will tell us about it and through that program you will learn how he became The Wellness Professor.
