Kritikal’s story is proof that you can fall seven times and still rise stronger on the eighth.

From alcohol addiction and near-death wake-up calls to rebuilding his life through discipline, self-respect, and environment, this conversation unpacks the turning points that reshaped his entire future.

Jake and Kritikal break down:

• How environment can make or break your growth
• Why discipline becomes your identity, not just a habit
• How addiction spirals start and how to pull yourself back
• What hitting rock bottom actually teaches you
• Breaking people-pleasing patterns and outgrowing old circles
• The power of honest self-assessment
• How to create a future you’re proud to live in

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or ready for a personal reset, this episode will give you perspective, clarity, and a path forward.
