#4 – Put Yourself First with Lawrence Liu

The Think Alpha Project - Empowering Minority Millennials to Break Barriers

Lawrence was born and raised in New Zealand and Taiwan. With an initial vision of becoming a physical therapist, and after the completion of that goal, Lawrence shifted focus inward and asked himself if this is truly his purpose. Through meditation and conversation with his mentors, as well as internal dialogue, he came to the conclusion that what most people deemed the epitome of success wasn’t enough for him. Through that, his life has hit a positive spiral, and he shares his journey as well as his future goals on this episode.

Lawrence received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at USC and worked full-time treating patients and training high-profile clients as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Through time, he expanded his vision for his life and created a successful organization and business through Herbalife, where he continues to change lives through nutrition, healthy active lifestyle, and personal development every single day.
