Description

Belinda sits down with AJ Williams, a man who has transformed a turbulent past into an extraordinary life.

 

AJ shares with raw honesty how living in public housing, surviving domestic violence, growing up with alcoholic parents, and being abandoned shaped him, and how he consciously chose to break generational cycles. From professional sport to founding Revel Saunas & Ice Baths, AJ reveals the lessons no business book could teach: resilience, alignment, and prioritizing health over wealth. He also shares how his three daughters have softened him and why he focuses on building memories rather than chasing money.

 

We explore:

•              Surviving a challenging childhood and choosing a different path

•              Transforming personal pain into purpose 

•              How he built an 8-figure business in just 3.5 months without any stock

•              The role of timing, purpose, and alignment in true success

•              Parenting philosophies: why time and presence matter more than screens

•              Why health and wellbeing always outweigh wealth

•              Not needing to prove your worth because you know who you are

 

This isn’t just a story of success, it’s a story of survival, courage, and rewriting your life’s narrative, no matter where you start.
