I began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. And curiosity as my lone asset. Borrowing $1,000 from my Mom I founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time I was 26. I built another company into 6 states. At the same time I led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in my 20’s and 30’s.
On the tough outside, I’m a shoot first, ask questions later type of guy. But inside, I still feel that imposter syndrome of a little boy growing up without any hope.
Others explain my work clearer. Former Secretary of HUD, Dr. Ben Carson, calls my writing “profound, refreshing.” Famed podcaster and pastor Paul VanderKlay says I’m “a doer, not a pontificator.” Navy SEAL and US Congressman Dan Crenshaw says I am “a leader and a truth-teller…a businessman, yes, but also a philosopher and a scholar…someone who has actually bothered to think original thoughts, a rarity in today’s literature.”
But more than that, I’m a man who’s been plunged into a life of love. A truer life than all the fleeting promises of competency, fame, and wealth. An existence richer than the circumstances of my past. Based on beliefs wiser than living for just my own future.
For years the world’s elite have asked me to begin putting some structure around how I think and live. To communicate the key steps from zero to meaning-filled living. So from their encouragement, and my desire to help others, I have documented these steps, self-improvement tools, and life turnaround principles which have brought me and countless others out of our deepest struggles and into a life of meaning. Now it’s your turn.
