Ep. 11: Crystal Harrell | From government housing to Ivy League

She had every reason not to succeed- wrong side of the tracks, wrong color of skin, wrong gender, and plenty of people telling her that she’ll never achieve her dreams.​​

That’s the childhood of my guest for this special Thanksgiving episode of UNBEATABLE.​

Crystal Harrell was 1 of 10 siblings who lived in a single-parent home after her father passed away. She overcame these obstacles to become a #1 best selling author, Les Brown-trained speaker, and certified coach.

She left government housing for the Ivy League as she pursued a PhD at Yale University.​As an academic success coach, Crystal helps students successfully navigate through higher education using her virtual coaching business, Crystal Clear Innovation.​

In this interview, you’ll hear:

• What it takes to break the cycle of poverty

• How to handle your critics and raise above your circumstances

• How this first-generation college student is following an unbeatable dream

• The dangers of looking for validation in the praise of others

• Why a love of reading and education can change your future

PLUS, you’ll hear what life is like in a trailer park from both me and Crystal.​
