They said I’d be dead or in jail by 21—and for a while, they were almost right. In this solo episode, I walk you through the 3 phases of my life—from rock bottom as the fat kid they said would never make it, to buying the company I once worked for with a shovel in my hand. I talk about the moment I almost gave up, the lessons that shaped me, and how adversity became the greatest gift I never asked for. This isn’t just my story—it’s a reminder that you're always one decision away from a completely different life. I was iron built. Now it’s your turn.

Key Topics:

• “Dead or in jail by 21”—the label I refused to wear.
• How heavy equipment and heavy lifting saved my life.
• The day Cory Gregory asked me the question that changed everything.
• Why facing fear and building discipline built the man I am today.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the real stuff — not the highlight reel, but what it actually takes to build confidence, get unstuck, and create momentum in your life. If you feel like you've been failing, stuck in a season of doubt, or unsure if your life is heading in the right direction, this one’s for you. I talk about how small wins compound, why discipline beats motivation every time, and how your environment can either plant you or bury you — the choice is yours. This is the behind-the-scenes blueprint of how I’ve built my life, brick by brick, habit by habit.

Key Topics:

• How to Build Confidence When You Feel Like a Failure
• Discipline as a Lifestyle, Not a Feeling
• Creating Growth Amid Chaos
• Dealing with Doubt & Unsupportive Environments
