Preston Smiles is a motivational speaker and author.

In this episode, you're going to learn Preston’s unique definition of abundance and why it goes beyond just financial wealth, the powerful moment that shifted his mindset from scarcity to abundance, how he used life challenges to build emotional resilience, what practical steps you can take to let go of toxic shame and trauma, and how cultivating gratitude can transform your daily experience.

My name is Preston and I want to get real with you for a minute. I’ve always dreamed big, wanted to make something of my life, and deeply cared about people. I could list a bunch of things that would make me look “important” and “successful”, but what I want you to know about me is I truly care about people, our planet, and about maximizing my potential. I’m committed to knowing that when I leave this world that my tank was empty because I gave ALL that I had and then some in the name of LOVE. So whether I’m speaking, leading workshops, writing books, or making conscious content through social media, it’s all in SERVICE of the same thing….LOVE. It’s the answer to everything and it’s so obvious that some of us miss it. So I’m here as a messenger to remind us all that when we AMPLIFY our LOVE we automatically amplify our LIVES.
