3 years ago today, I was in a pretty dark place
So naturally, I did what any rational person would do... I quit my job. I moved my family across the country and went all-in on myself. Everyone thought I'd lost it. (Including my parents) But here's what happened next:
This week marks my 3-year anniversary of that insane decision. So I did something I haven't done in 4 years... Recorded a solo podcast episode. Zero edits. Just my raw thoughts on how I went from rock bottom to building the business (and life) I actually wanted. Including:
You get a little different side of me in this one. I talk about losing my temper with my kids. About doubting everything. About doing things that made me want to crawl under a rock.

The outpouring of gratitude, support, and love from the people who listened blew me away. And I understand why. It’s because it was uncut. It was transparent. It was emotional. It was more human...
Crazy story… In January, I hired a podcast consultant to help me launch Free Business School. But I hired him without ever watching his podcast. Not one episode. Why? Every day, he showed up on my LinkedIn feed with clips from his podcast. And without watching a full episode, I got to KNOW him. His expertise. His approach. His personality.
