Struggle2Succcess Podcast
Welcome to the Struggle2Success Podcast.
I’m your host, Sterling Brown — and around here, we don’t hide from the hard stuff.
I didn’t launch this podcast from a polished place — I launched it while still healing. What started as my personal story has grown into something bigger: a space where we talk real about the struggles that shape us, the systems that confine us, and the current issues that weigh on our communities.
This isn’t just about surviving — it’s about transforming. From incarceration and fatherhood to mental health, relationships, reentry, and everything in between — this is where we get honest about the climb and what it takes to keep going.
So whether you’re tuning in from your car, your crib, or somewhere in between trying to figure it all out — you’re not alone. We’re in this together. Airing every other Saturday.
This is Struggle2Success — life is trials. Stay focused.

We would love to hear from you, send us a text!
James Ivery, founder of Transcendent Transformation Coaching, shares his powerful journey from addiction to recovery and how he now helps others break free from their own cycles of substance abuse and incarceration. Having overcome addiction himself after growing up in a family ravaged by substance abuse, James brings authentic experience to his mission of helping others transcend their circumstances and become creators of their own lives.

• Facilitating personal development programs in Lancaster County Prison
• Providing "warm handoffs" that personally connect clients with community resources
• Helping clients develop specific reentry plans with clear goals and timelines
• Partnering with organizations like CareerLink and OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitation)
• Emphasizing that people with past substance use or criminal backgrounds often make excellent employees with an "attitude of gratitude"
• Building plans that develop internal motivation rather than external compliance

• Advocating for rehabilitation to begin immediately when someone enters the correctional system
