#25 - Johnny Wimbrey (Forgiveness, Hustle & Building a Millionaire Mindset)

On this episode of Take This Down, Ty Stimpson sits down with world-renowned speaker and entrepreneur Johnny Wimbrey for one of the most powerful conversations yet. Johnny opens up about growing up in Fort Worth, living in a battered women’s shelter, being surrounded by gangs and violence, and the moment that changed everything — standing in a church with a gun, ready to retaliate for a friend’s murder, when a grieving mother publicly forgave her son’s killer. That moment forced Johnny to confront himself and walk away from a life that was headed toward destruction. From selling drugs in high school to receiving the key to the city from the mayor, Johnny shares how he turned his “street hustle” into a million-dollar business mindset — and why he now plays to win with no victims. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations on Take This Down with Ty Stimpson.

#24 - Shawn Lassiter (Founder & Executive Director of Braver Together)

On this episode of Take This Down, Ty Stimpson sits down with Shawn Lassiter, Founder and Executive Director of Braver Together, to discuss community advocacy, education, and building equity from the ground up. Shawn shares how growing up in a close-knit community in Florida shaped her early passion for speaking up and serving others — a calling that began at just five years old. From being the first in her family to pursue college at Alabama State University to becoming a science teacher and district leader in Fort Worth, Shawn reflects on how education and lived experience prepared her for her life’s work. The conversation dives into the heart of Braver Together and its focus on Fort Worth’s 76104 zip code — an area identified as having the lowest life expectancy in Texas. Shawn explains how historic disinvestment, infrastructure gaps, and systemic barriers shaped the community’s challenges — and how listening to residents, honoring existing leadership, and partnering with community ambassadors is driving meaningful change. This episode is a powerful look at advocacy, faith, motherhood, and what it means to fight for equitable infrastructure, health care access, and economic opportunity — without losing a community’s identity or culture. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations on Take This Down with Ty Stimpson.
