From a 1.3 GPA in high school to earning his doctorate, Ron Lewis Jr.’s story is proof that setbacks don’t define your future—they refine it. His academic journey was far from traditional: he began college in remedial courses, took nine years to complete a four-year degree, and even faced academic probation and suspension during his master’s program. Yet, through perseverance, he ultimately achieved what many thought impossible—his doctorate degree.

Ron’s entrepreneurial spirit sparked early. At just 19, he founded his first company, L2 Unlimited, becoming the youngest certified CEO in the state of Florida. When the economy shifted, he chose service over surrender, joining the military where he built the discipline and resilience that would shape the rest of his life. After returning, he launched Lewis Marketing Services, successfully running the business for five years before transitioning into his current roles as a Florida Realtor, business consultant, and professional speaker.

Today, Ron inspires audiences with his message of mental resilience, teamwork, overcoming adversity, and peak performance, drawing on his personal experiences of being bullied as a teen, overcoming obstacles, and finding success against all odds. His mission is clear: to empower students, leaders, and organizations to rise above challenges, embrace resilience, and unlock their full potential.
