Interview by Lon Woodbury

Gordon Myers, author of the book "Street Smart Kids," which can be bought on Amazon.com spoke to Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio about his challenging experience as a teen in Namibia, Southern Africa. Today, Gordon assists at-risk teenagers get clever and use good sense to avoid putting their future at risk.

A business owner, writer, and personal trainer, Gordon Myers is a father to a son who is 16-years-old son and a daughter who is 19-years-old. He has actually been happily wed for 22 years. He shares a wealth of difficult personal experiences with audiences through his writing and public speaking work.

Odds Stacked Against Him

Gordon shared with Lon and the listening audience how he had actually lived in difficult circumstances when maturing in Namibia. In spite of an anxious adolescence-- a life of trouble, insecurity and mayhem-- he designed a new life for himself to enjoy the better things in life. On this quest, he quickly understood that it was all up to your him to enhance his personal life.

His daunting encounters while maturing into adulthood has provided him with an unbelievable empathy for the spectacular number of kids in America facing difficult lives. After having actually profited from his very own childhood experiences, he has the ability to pass along life lessons to those who desire to be far better prepared to shape their very own future.

His brand-new book "Street Smart Kids," was written to instill in adolescents the value of using objectivity, logic and good sense to acquire every advantage possible for a better life. Without street smarts, he pointed out to Lon, our youth will struggle unnecessarily, fall short and fail to deal with life well.

After backpacking through eleven countries and arriving in America at age 25 with absolutely nothing -- no contacts, hardly any money, no education and no direction- he learned the hard way what it takes to climb up the ladder of success and stay there! Gordon draws on his extremely diverse series of harrowing experiences to encourage teenagers to appreciate and use their unique talents, capabilities and potential.

Gordon has captured and also refined the raw education that he learned when trying to make it alone on the streets. While teens today try desperately to "fit in" many innocent boys and kids can learn how to have a much better life after listening to Gordon on the usefulness of applying "street smarts."

Final Thoughts

Gordon Myers pointed out that he had created his book to give back some of the support and encouragement that he had actually received to permit him to live a good and happy life. On the day of the interview, he was offering the audience a cost-free download of his entire book.
