About Yankel Meislin:
Yankel Meislin grew up as a secular Jew, active in sports and community life, until the streets pulled him into drug dealing at 14. By 19, he was operating at a high level, even hiring a gang-affiliated bodyguard. After multiple failed interventions, he turned his life around when faced with an ultimatum to leave the lifestyle or be on his own.
Now 16 years sober, Yankel’s journey of recovery began at a Florida rehab, where he embraced the 12-step program and embarked on a spiritual path that reconnected him to his Jewish roots. Through the guidance of a Chassidic Rabbi, Yankel gradually adopted a Chassidic lifestyle and found purpose in his faith.
Today, he helps men and young adults uncover their true identity, ignite their inner spark, and live their life’s mission. As a coach, he empowers clients to discover their passions and achieve extraordinary results.
