Ty's Journey

Ty Lewis, also known as “Ty Lewie” or “Ty the Guy,” is the embodiment of perseverance, vision, and impact. From humble beginnings in Stone Mountain, Georgia, where he was raised by his grandparents while his mother pursued her college degree, to becoming a sought-after speaker, consultant, and mentor, Ty’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.


His journey took a pivotal turn when he moved to Rock Island, Illinois, and flourished as a student and leader at Rock Island High School. Balancing academic excellence with leadership roles in band, basketball, and the National Honor Society, Ty’s hard work earned him a full scholarship to Black Hawk Community College.


However, life presented challenges that could have derailed his path. After losing his father in 2020, Ty faced immense grief while transferring to St. Ambrose University during the uncertainty of COVID-19. Despite these hardships, Ty found strength through counseling, mentorship, and an unwavering drive to succeed.
From winning a national sales competition on his late father’s birthday to becoming a real estate investor, philanthropist, and community leader, Ty has continually transformed obstacles into opportunities. He has used his life experiences to inspire audiences at John Deere, United Way, and high schools and colleges nationwide.


Today, Ty is passionate about empowering others to envision and create a future where they thrive. Whether mentoring young professionals, building wealth through real estate, or developing communities, Ty believes that every challenge can be a stepping stone to greatness.


“I firmly believe that success is within everyone’s grasp—it’s just a matter of having the right tools, vision, and support to achieve it.”
With his dynamic speaking style and relatable story, Ty connects deeply with audiences, offering insights that inspire meaningful growth. Where Ty goes, transformation follows.
