My Background and My Why
Amir Tariq-Brown is the Founder and CEO of The 2nd Lap, a groundbreaking, multi-state program designed to support returning citizens as they transition back into society after incarceration. With its headquarters in Nevada and additional locations in Virginia and Texas, The 2nd Lap stands as a beacon of hope for individuals and families seeking to rebuild and thrive.
Amir’s vision for The 2nd Lap stems from years of experience in psychology, returning-citizen advocacy, counseling, and business leadership. This extensive background has allowed him to develop a unique approach to life coaching that merges evidence-based strategies with a deeply client-centered philosophy. By focusing on the individual’s potential rather than their past, Amir has created a program that inspires transformation and promotes lasting success.
Under his leadership, The 2nd Lap addresses critical challenges faced by returning citizens, including employment barriers, societal stigma, family reintegration, and the need for personal development. Each client is treated as if they are the program’s sole focus, receiving personalized guidance and unwavering support. This holistic, tailored approach is the cornerstone of the program’s effectiveness.
Amir’s mission is straightforward but profound: to ensure that every returning citizen and their family has an equal opportunity to succeed. He believes in leveling the playing field and empowering individuals to overcome systemic and personal obstacles. Through counseling, mentorship, and skills training, The 2nd Lap creates a clear path to reintegration, fostering accountability, resilience, and self-confidence in its clients.
Amir’s philosophy is rooted in partnership. While The 2nd Lap provides the tools, resources, and support, clients must commit to doing the work required to change their circumstances. This balance of opportunity and responsibility creates a foundation for sustainable growth and empowers clients to reclaim their futures.
Beyond his work with The 2nd Lap, Amir is a passionate advocate for systemic change and the dismantling of barriers that hinder the progress of returning citizens. He believes that communities grow stronger when every member has the opportunity to contribute, and his program reflects this ethos by not only focusing on individual success but also strengthening families and communities as a whole.
Amir Tariq-Brown’s dedication, vision, and expertise have established The 2nd Lap as a transformative force in reentry services. His unwavering belief in second chances is evident in every aspect of his work, proving that with the right support, anyone can turn their life around and achieve greatness.
