Dr. Om Prakash has lived a most interesting life, and has spent most of it making a difference in the lives of others. While growing up in India, he put his college education on hold to join Gandhi's Quit India Freedom Movement, which cost him his freedom as he was arrested by the British and jailed as a political prisoner in India's toughest prison. He later helped to guide and mentor many young people in his role as a high school teacher and counselor. Dr. Prakash left his homeland to pursue a higher education. He became a Clinical Psychologist in the United States and built a successful private practice. Then, at an age when most people are retired, he launched a new career and built a second successful business as a Mentor Coach.
