A childhood shaped by loss, discipline, and perseverance — and a life rebuilt through purpose.
In this deeply personal episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Newton Zang to explore how early adversity, elite athletic discipline, and faith shaped his journey as an entrepreneur and leader.
Newton shares powerful stories about growing up as an immigrant, losing his mother at a young age, being raised by a single father, and learning resilience through years of elite sports training. From losing early tournaments to facing repeated rejection, Newton explains how discipline, resourcefulness, and community helped him persevere — both in business and in life.
This conversation dives into mental health, trauma, faith, entrepreneurship, failure, and the importance of safe communities where vulnerability becomes strength.
