You don’t need another motivational quote.

You need a reset.

In this episode, I break down what actually changed my life after years of drifting—divorce, drinking, depression, no purpose, no tribe. I talk about what it feels like when the structure’s gone… and how I rebuilt it from the ground up.

We’re talking about why veterans stay stuck, how ego keeps you broke and bitter, and why discipline without devotion will never be enough. I share the real reason your weekends are wrecking your progress—and what it takes to finally stop waiting and start leading yourself.

No hand-holding. No victim mindset.

Just truth, action, and the hard reset you’ve been avoiding.

Follow your passion” is the advice everyone loves to give—but for most veterans, it’s the reason they stay stuck.

If you’ve been waiting for passion to show up before taking action, this episode will flip that script and show you how to move forward with clarity, structure, and ownership. Passion doesn’t come first—you do.
