Ed Latimore, a professional in the self-improvement arena, found his own strategy for success. It is a practical, stoic approach, which he learned through his struggles, including growing up poor and dealing with alcohol problems.
Childhood
Latimore, 35, grew up in a housing project in Pittsburg where abject poverty and violence were the norm. When he was only 3 years old, he witnessed the murder of another kid in his neighborhood. Every day, as he grew up, he was forced to defend himself.“One of the things I don’t ever remember having was a sense of safety anywhere,” Latimore said.
