About Resilient Perspectives
Resilient Perspectives was founded by Kevin Baker as a testament to overcoming profound personal adversity. Once living a blessed life, Kevin's journey took a dramatic turn when multiple spinal surgeries led to a life-altering addiction to narcotic pain medications. Over time, this addiction spiraled into a devastating financial collapse and a complete ethical breakdown, culminating in two armed bank robberies in early 2016.
On February 14, 2016, Kevin was arrested by the Connecticut State Police Major Crime Squad. He later pled guilty and received two concurrent 7-year prison sentences.
Faced with the reality of being Inmate Number 413541, Kevin made a pivotal decision during his early days in prison: instead of simply counting the days, he would make each day count. Over the course of 2,173 days in the Connecticut Department of Correction, he committed himself to personal growth and transformation.
With the unwavering support, love, and guidance of others, Kevin spent his time in prison reading, writing, and crafting a platform to share his story. He turned his darkest moments into a message of hope, resilience, and practical lessons for navigating life’s challenges.
Resilient Perspectives is the result of years of work and collaboration with mental health counselors, psychologists, clergy, addiction treatment specialists, and countless hours of research and reflection. It serves as a framework for helping others find their way back from life’s darkest moments, offering tools, inspiration, and insights for personal transformation.
Resilient Perspectives is about transforming the way we view setbacks—seeing them as setups for growth, innovation, and success.
