#29: I play for the kid I used to be with Meter Ninios

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Meter Ninios, a pro paintball player for XFactor and founder of Astra, to dive into what life is really like behind the mask. From overcoming some curveballs in life since childhood to building a successful real estate career and launching a paintball brand, Meter shares raw insights on mental health, money, social media pressure, and finding meaning in the grind.

We talk about what it takes to stay motivated after years of setbacks, the truth behind the “pro lifestyle,” and the mental toll of chasing wins. If you’ve ever struggled with burnout, needing to find motivation, or just staying committed to a dream—you’ll want to hear this one.
