Join us in this inspiring episode as we sit down with Michael Weitzman, who shares his remarkable journey from growing up in the foster care system in Los Angeles to becoming a self-taught software engineer and advocate for children.

Navigating through 12 different homes, Michael's resilience and determination led him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 17, where he began to build a life for himself. Now, at 26, he stands as the first scholarship recipient of the Fostering the Future initiative by Melania Trump. This scholarship has led him to attend Oral Roberts University as a social work major, with aspirations of attending law school in the future.

In this heartfelt conversation, Michael opens up about the unique opportunities he has had to share his story, including speaking at the White House and engaging with the political sector. His calling to advocate for children and represent the fatherless in the policy and advocacy spaces is palpable.

Listen as we delve into Michael's experiences, his unwavering faith, and his passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others. This episode will inspire you to embrace resilience, create change, and advocate for those who need a voice.
