Motivational Speaker

Billings, MT

Eugene shares his story of life before the military, his rise to military acclaim, the crack addiction that altered his life forever. His powerful story of  a military policeman and protective service team leader that drove and protected Generals Powell, Schwarzkopf and then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney during Desert Storm to a life filled with drugs, crime and both federal and state prison to become an Amazon published author, motivational speaker and mentor is a testament to the power of perseverance and prayer.  

Eugene A. Linwood, Jr. stands today as a living testament to the transforming power of Jesus Christ. As a Christian motivational speaker, recovery advocate, and author, Eugene ministers to those trapped in the cycles of addiction and incarceration that once held him captive for over two decades.

Motivating family members to prioritize their own physical and mental health (through support groups, individual therapy, and healthy lifestyle changes) so they can avoid burnout and provide sustainable support.

Emphasizing the family's crucial role as an "emotional foundation" for healing, while clarifying that support does not mean enabling harmful behaviors.

Discussions on how families can help veterans find a renewed sense of purpose and belonging through community involvement, veteran service organizations, or hobbies, which strengthens resilience and reduces isolation.

Discussion on focusing on positive reinforcement and celebrating small milestones in the recovery journey to build momentum and maintain morale for both the veteran and the family.

A poignant discussion instilling hope that long-term healing is possible, and that setbacks are part of the journey, emphasizing resilience and the strength developed through military service.
