I wanted to do something special this week and share my story and tell you how I got to where I am today.
I lost my father when I was 2 years old, and from that moment forward, my mom was raising 5 kids by herself.
Sports have always played a big role in my life because I was able to connect with mentors and coaches.
I found father figures through sports.
I learned how to win, and more importantly, how to lose.
I also learned about myself and got the discipline to stay on track with school.
When I graduated from high school, I stopped playing sports, and I needed something to fill the void, so I picked up DJing.
I spent hours in college scratching records. This led to me wanting to start an entertainment company.
When I was in college, I dreamed of studying abroad but couldn't afford it.
Right before graduating, I traveled to Costa Rica solo, and it was one of the most powerful things that ever happened to me.
Post-college, I struggled to make money during the recession in 2009.
I eventually went to work for a real estate company that interned for. Finally, I was making a little bit of dough.
Then, a good friend passed away in his sleep.
It made me question the job I was doing, and I quit.
It made me afraid of dying without having lived.
That sent me in a new trajectory that I will tell you about in the next episode.
