Description

I didn’t grow up with confidence, connections, or a clear path forward. I struggled with insecurity, barely made it through school, and started at $9 an hour with a shovel in my hand.

In this episode with Stefanie Couch on Grit Blueprint Podcast, I share the real story of how I turned struggle into strength — and what it really takes to build a life, a business, and a team worth leading. We talk about overcoming fear, why accountability is a gift, and how investing in yourself and others is the key to unlocking greatness.

If you’re ready to push past fear, embrace discipline, and build something bigger than yourself, this one’s for you.

Key Topics:

  • Turning struggle and insecurity into confidence and leadership
  • Why failure is a requirement for success
  • Building teams and culture through accountability and ownership
  • The power of personal development in breaking barriers
