Blind. Broke. Rejected. Then he built a billion-dollar empire.

Sean Callagy was going blind by his 30s, working as a struggling attorney, terrified of rejection, and desperate to avoid the fate of most people in his family: addiction, failure, and regret.

Today, he's built companies approaching a $1 billion valuation, coached thousands, and stood on stage beside Tony Robbins.

In this episode, Sean shares the radical truth about transformation, rejection, identity, and influence.

He breaks down how to rewire your life through repetition, pain, and purpose and how a $100K investment in a $100 bill changed his life forever.

You’ll learn how to influence with integrity, why most people fail to scale, and how the stories you were raised with are silently sabotaging your future.

This conversation will break your excuses. It might even change your life.
