It’s hard to believe that in the year 2025, child sex trafficking is as prolific as it is today. How is that with all the laws, legislation, and awareness that we’re still dealing with the torment of sexual exploitation with our sons and daughters?
My guest today, Nate Lewis, has made it his life’s work to combat and overcoming the epidemic that is plaguing every corner of society. And, not only that, he is a huge proponent of finding your own mission and pouring all in on that – whatever it may be. Today, Nate and I talk about the driving factors behind child exploitation, why YOU should address the societal injustices you see in society today, the power of coachability and gritty-ness in your pursuit of your dreams, and why and how to protect yourself, society, and children from the nastiness and perversion of modern culture.
Nate Lewis is the Founder of The Innocent, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the innocence of children inside the United States, with a focus on child sex trafficking, exploitation, and sexual assault. With a robust background as an Executive at a leading global anti-trafficking organization, Nate has honed his expertise in both international and domestic anti-trafficking operations, working with law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Nate’s 20+ years of traveling and living abroad in more than 40 countries have profoundly shaped his passion and understanding of human trafficking. These experiences have given him valuable insights into the global and domestic dimensions of trafficking and exploitation, fueling his commitment to address these issues on a national level.
Through his leadership at The Innocent, Nate is instrumental in driving critical initiatives to create safer communities inside the United States. His deep passion for justice, combined with his extensive experience and global perspective, positions him as a key advocate in the battle against child sex crimes.
