Legacy Starts with People
Born and raised in Ottumwa, Iowa, Mason McNeely grew up in an environment marked by crime and addiction. Despite initially steering clear of trouble, his struggles with addiction began in early adolescence. By the age of 14, he had started engaging in risky behaviors, eventually leading to legal issues, instability, and a path that resulted in a prison sentence.
While incarcerated, Mason received the devastating news of his mother’s passing due to an overdose — a loss that deeply impacted him. Following his release, addiction took a heavier toll until a few key individuals helped him begin the journey to recovery.
Today Mason is now living clean, employed, and surrounded by a supportive, uplifting community. He uses his story to inspire others, proving that no matter how far someone may fall, recovery and purpose are always possible.
"If no one’s told you today — my name is Mason McNeely, and I love y’all unconditionally."

Leondes, known as “Leo,” comes from the small town of Cherokee, North Carolina — a place where life hasn’t always been easy. Like many, Leo has faced a range of hardships, from being removed from his family at a young age to enduring failed relationships, job losses, and voices of doubt telling him he'd never succeed.
Through it all, Leo lives by a guiding phrase: Mind Over Matter.
He believes that every situation — good or bad — is temporary, and that peace of mind is more powerful than panic or pressure. This mindset has helped him navigate life’s toughest moments with resilience and clarity.
Today, Leo stays grounded by living in the present and keeping his focus on long-term goals. He credits his mindset and personal discipline as the key tools in overcoming his past — and shaping a future he’s proud of.

Joel Meadows has lived a life most only witness on screen — but his story is as real as it gets. With his mother incarcerated for meth production during his early childhood, Joel was raised by his grandparents. While they provided financial stability, they couldn’t shield him from the internal chaos he faced. His rebellious streak surfaced early. By age six, he was immersed in skateboarding; by eighteen, he was deep into drugs, scams, and street survival. Bank fraud soon followed, as a means to fund his growing addiction.
The downward spiral led to three separate prison sentences, over two years on the run, and multiple rock-bottom moments. But everything shifted during his third incarceration. Over the course of 19 months, Joel confronted the direction of his life and realized he was meant for more than destruction and survival.
Today, Joel is clean, focused, and building a new legacy — one brushstroke at a time. A talented portrait artist, he uses his creativity not only as an outlet, but as a vehicle for recovery, community, and hope. His art reflects the journey he’s lived and the strength it takes to change.
“I’m working on expanding my art and supporting everybody I know who wants to better their life.”

Meet Ian Czap
Fitness Coach • Content Creator • Servant Leader
📍 Viola, Wisconsin
“This is bigger than fitness. This is legacy work.”
Ian’s Story
At just 19 years old, Ian Czap has already lived through more than most people twice his age. He’s faced heartbreak, addiction, loss, and seasons where life felt completely directionless. But instead of letting those struggles define him, he used them as fuel to transform his life.
Fitness became Ian’s anchor — not just a way to get stronger physically, but a path to mental clarity, discipline, and purpose. When the world around him felt unstable, the gym gave him structure. And over time, that structure turned into a passion — one that would impact hundreds of lives.
Ian launched Rivyn’s Fitness, a free, judgment-free community where people from all walks of life can come together to learn, grow, and support one another. Through his coaching, he’s helped countless people take their first steps toward a better life — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
But Ian doesn’t see himself as an influencer. He calls himself a servant leader — someone who shows up daily not because he has all the answers, but because he knows what it’s like to feel lost and unheard.
Why He Joined 1 Love Legacy
Ian’s heart for second chances, real healing, and unconditional grace made partnering with 1 Love Legacy a natural fit. Our mission to bring balance to the world through love, faith, and understanding mirrors his own belief that God’s love isn’t limited by our past.
“Faith isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. Grace is for everyone. And when we choose compassion over judgment, we change lives.”
For Ian, this work is bigger than fitness. It’s about building legacy — one life, one act of kindness, one second chance at a time.
Life Today
Ian continues to coach, create uplifting content, and pour into his fitness community. Every post, every workout, every conversation is another opportunity to remind someone that they are not their past — and that strength is built from the inside out.

Grant used to live fast and hard. Partying and heavy substance use were a regular part of his life. That lifestyle led to habits he’s not proud of — including stealing to get what he wanted. But that’s not who he is anymore.
Where He’s At Now:
Today, Grant is walking a different path. He’s growing closer to God and learning to lean into faith rather than escape. Instead of taking from the world, he’s working for what he wants and taking responsibility for his future. Every day is a step forward, and he’s not turning back.

Meet Andrew “Baby Drew” McMurrin
Artist • Survivor • 1LL Ambassador
📍 Picayune, Mississippi
Snapchat: officialBabyDru
“Your past doesn’t define you — it prepares you.”
Andrew’s Story:
Andrew McMurrin, known to many as Baby Drew, is just 20 years old — but his life has already taken him through some of the darkest valleys. At 18, he was arrested for distribution of fentanyl. Before that moment, he had what many would consider a stable life: a fiancée, a home, and a car.
But in early 2024, everything changed. The St. Tammany Narcotics Task Force raided his house, stripping him of his possessions, freedom, and the future he thought he had. Andrew spent two years in prison, facing the harsh realities of the consequences that came with his choices.
Why He Joined 1 Love Legacy:
“I like the movement and the idea.”
Andrew connects deeply with 1LL’s mission of second chances and personal transformation. He knows firsthand that life can spiral — but it can also be rebuilt.
🚀 Today:
Fresh out of prison, Andrew is determined to better himself and avoid falling back into old habits. His philosophy is simple but powerful: "People, places, and things" — surrounding himself with the right environment to stay on track.
He’s a living example that change is possible, and he hopes his story can inspire others to choose a better path before it’s too late.

Meet Tyler Davenport
Survivor • Faith Warrior • 1LL Ambassador
📍 Gainesville, Georgia
Facebook: Tyler Davenport
Snapchat: georgia_boy131
“The Lord saw something in me that night that I never saw in myself.”
Tyler’s Story:
For much of his early life, Tyler wrestled with deep depression — a quiet, constant struggle that weighed him down through his teenage years. Like many people searching for a way to numb the pain, he turned to alcohol. At first, it seemed like a way to escape, but over time, it became a chain that kept him from living fully.
The turning point came in the most unexpected — and dangerous — way. Tyler was involved in a life-threatening car wreck that should have claimed his life. Emergency responders, doctors, and even those who knew him all agreed: by every earthly measure, he wasn’t supposed to survive.
But Tyler did. And in that moment, he realized something powerful — this wasn’t luck. This was God’s mercy and purpose in action. That night became the line in the sand where the old Tyler was left behind and a new journey began.
Why He Joined 1 Love Legacy:
“I believe the world needs to know the Lord. If more people truly understood His love and His message, maybe the world wouldn’t be so harsh.”
Tyler connected with 1 Love Legacy because the mission mirrors his own calling — to spread hope, faith, and second chances. He believes God gave him his life back for a reason, and he intends to use it to help others see that no one is too far gone for redemption.
Life Today:
Now, Tyler leans on faith, family, and true friends to keep him grounded and moving forward. He’s replaced the empty escape of alcohol with a purpose-driven life, walking boldly in the calling God gave him.
Whether he’s sharing his story one-on-one or supporting the broader movement, Tyler brings a powerful reminder to the 1LL family:
Every breath you take is a second chance — use it well.
