Unlocked From Within
There was a time when I nearly gave up on everything.
My business was failing.
I couldn’t provide for my family.
As a new father, I felt like I was drowning in shame, fear, and self-doubt.
I faced the two things I feared most:
Almost going bankrupt in 2021 and going on Government assistance i did not think i would survive. I was emotionally bankrupt.
It was my darkest season.
But somewhere in that pain, I found a flicker of hope to keep moving forward and taking action day by day with breathwork, ice baths, self help, personal development & business audio books, podcasts, and exercise.
I began to rebuild slowly.
Day by day, I found something I had lost:
Belief in myself.
That belief became my fuel.
It helped me rebuild my business.
It helped me become a better father.
And it helped me create this podcast:
Unlocked From Within.
