Harder Than Life: Overcoming Poverty, Addiction and Violence

Have you ever felt like you're wearing a mask to hide your true self? Kelly Siegel, CEO of National Technology Management (NTM), joins us to share his journey of stripping away the 'identity mask' and fostering a life of authentic joy and fulfillment. Our conversation weaves through the crucial balance of the five pillars of health: mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial. Kelly's story is a raw testimony, a beacon for anyone yearning to break free from the cycles of abuse, addiction, and poverty, and a guide to embracing the relentless pursuit of self-improvement detailed in his book "Harder Than Life."Kelly has an educational background in criminal justice and sociology from Western Michigan University. He has been delivering results since running his first paper route as a twelve-year-old. Besides his goal to make NTM the gold standard of the IT industry, his mission in life is to leave a legacy, or in Kelly’s words, “make a dent.” His relentless drive to better himself is breaking his family’s cycle of abuse, addiction, and poverty. Kelly takes personal progress to the next level by continuously improving his physical, emotional, and mental health and performance by working out daily, reading voraciously, and practicing mindfulness. You’ll find him feeding people at spontaneous cookouts in his backyard, volunteering his time for causes close to his heart, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Kelly lives in Michigan with his daughter Arianna, their Yorkie Sammy, and cat Felix. He spends as much time as possible in Florida, preferably out on the water with Ari and good friends.
