[@loriprincess8]

Never say it couldn't happen to you. it could happen to anyone

[@IamShaunSpencer]

@@loriprincess8 Thats a fact!!! Lesson learned for sure 🙌🏽

[@statusboom-x6348]

I applaud you for your realness. Keep being you. You don't just represent yourself, you represent a million other dudes just like you driving and roaming the street.

[@IamShaunSpencer]

Thank you so much.. As you know, it's not easy getting out of it, but it is definitely doable. And yes, I accept the fact that I represent the millions of other brothers who are still in the street. I always want to reach back and try to grab at least one. I hope you got out of homelessness for good and are now thriving. Salut my brother. If there is any topic that you would like me to cover or have suggestions, please let me know so I can do a video on it.

I endured chronic homeless in my lifetime and am so proud of you for recovering and rebuilding your life. Salute.

I wholeheartedly believe every part of your story man! People can be so unnecessarily toxic sometimes (Herbalife). Thanks for your candor and for sharing your story! The McDonalds encounter brought tears to my eyes, much love to the guy that gave you some words of encouragement. Lastly, I was looking at some of your older videos and you've matured extremely well. Keep up the good work man!

[@IamShaunSpencer]

Thank you so much for your words. I really appreciate it. Yes, I never knew how toxic people could be and how people could conspire against you and till I ran into that group. Now matter how much good I did, they still turned on me. But its ok because God is good. And yes, haha, I have come a long way and have learned alot. Also, do your point, I wish that I actually looked up and saw that mans face. Atleast I would have a memory of what he looks like, in the event that I see him again. I would be able to thank him. Thanks for your kind message my friend. You do the same. 🤙🏽

Shaun I just want to thank you so very much for your transparency and your vulnerability it MEANS so very much wow. In the end when you mentioned ' the very room you are doing your video in is THAT room, I was so taken aback and I was so glad you shared that because it made it all so real. Thank you for your your youtube podcast I just came across it and im going through a similar challenge I just needed hope for the steps of faith I'm also taking this week. God bless you Shaun for what you are doing I pray you go from strength to strength.💪

[@IamShaunSpencer]

Timothy, Thank you as well for being open as well. Dealing with injuries, setbacks, and homelessness is something no one could have ever imagined. But The reason I am starting to tell my story is to hopefully help others like yourself, who may be going through similar situations. And yes, I am trying to find the footage of when I was sleeping on the floor with only a backpack as a pillow and a jacket as my blanket. But there is hope my brother. Please keep your head up, if you are a religious man, keep looking to the hills for God. This is not the end of you. This will build your armor and sharpen your instincts. So when you recover, and you WILL recover, you will be an unstoppable force. You will reinvent yourself, Timothy. God Bless you and keep moving. If you need support, I am only an email away.

[@loriprincess8]

Your mental fitness helped you for sure!

[@glizzyhendrix]

amazing rebound story, and something I needed to hear right now.

[@statusboom-x6348]

Agreed.

[@IamShaunSpencer]

Thank you sir.. It was a journey and a process. Im so thankful for the mental training I received while training for the Olympics. I use that training today to helps others recover and get through the crazy times. Keep pushing and keep moving forward. If there is ever anything that I can help with, or if theres a video or topic you would like me to cover, please dont hesitate to let me know. I have faith in you.
