You don’t really know what you’re made of until you’re flat on your back in a roach-infested apartment… or hooked up to chemo.

In this episode, we sit down with a creative entrepreneur who went from losing every client overnight and living with cockroaches, to building multi–seven-figure businesses—while walking through an aggressive form of blood cancer. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation about identity, calling, and what “freedom” actually means when comfort is stripped away.

We talk about the moment you draw a line in the sand and say, “I’m never going back.”
We unpack how discipline, faith, and brutal honesty with yourself can become weapons against chaos, fear, and distraction.

We also get into the tension you probably feel too:
– Being insanely good at your craft, but avoiding the hard things that actually move your life and business forward.
– Wanting to honor God with your work and money, but wrestling with control, tithing, and trust.
– Trying to “hear from God” in business decisions without over-spiritualizing everything.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ From cockroaches and zero income to consistent $70k–$100k months
✅ Why doing hard things first changes how every other decision feels
✅ How identity (“this is who we are, so this is what we do”) fuels consistency
✅ Quantity vs. quality in content and why creatives get stuck in perfectionism
✅ Blending faith and business: tithing, stewardship, and resisting the love of money
✅ Hearing God’s voice practically in our day-to-day decisions
✅ Redefining freedom after walking through chemo, suffering, and survival

Listen in, then ask yourself: What hard thing am I avoiding that my future freedom is quietly begging me to do today?

Freedom isn’t luck—it’s built on habits, truth, and the courage to change course.

In this episode, we get real about faith, sobriety, and the moment a “worst case” injury became God’s best redirect. We talk through how putting God first—Bible in the morning, church every week, first-fruits giving—reset our lives, our marriage, and our money. We unpack why we left the military grind, moved to a new market with a truck and a trailer, and later spent a year in Maui to force real systems that let business serve family—not the other way around.

We share what actually worked: the boundaries that keep temptation out, the community that keeps us accountable, and the operational choices that cut busywork and multiply results. We also press into a bigger definition of freedom: the financial margin to say what’s true, support what’s right, and be present with our kids—without asking permission.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Faith-first rhythms that beat addiction and drift
✅ Turning a career-ending injury into a calling shift
✅ Building rentals, flipping smart, and buying with conviction
✅ Systems > heroics: how a year in Maui 10x’d our operations
✅ Taxes without the trap: cost segregation in plain English
✅ Hiring that sticks: the “do it once, done forever” standard
✅ Freedom to speak, give, and lead—without fear of the paycheck
✅ Serving veterans well: real community over faceless programs
✅ Family on purpose: shorter workdays, stronger marriages

If you’re ready to trade chaos for conviction and hustle for holy stewardship, hit follow, share this with a friend, and take the next right step today.

One question to carry this week: What habit will we put first tomorrow so freedom follows for years?

Freedom isn’t a finish line—it’s a set of daily choices backed by systems, stewardship, and courage.

In this episode, we sit down with a first-generation American who went from writing code to buying city blocks—proving you don’t need a rich uncle to build generational wealth. We talk through the real playbook: stacking “boring” buy-and-holds, timing refinances like clockwork, and using hard money and DSCR loans as fuel—not crutches. No hype. Just the honest math, the messy parts, and the moves that keep the flywheel turning.

We get practical about bandwidth (people, process, materials), why consistency beats cleverness (same paint, same floors, fewer decisions), and how an abundance mindset changes everything—paying wholesalers with a smile, hiring great crews, and teaching others to do the same. You’ll also hear how faith, marriage, and fatherhood shape our definition of freedom: owning our time, traveling with purpose, and creating options for the next generation.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Choosing buy-and-hold over flashy flips—and why the numbers win
✅ Hard money + DSCR loans: how we structure, sequence, and sleep at night
✅ Systems that scale: timelines, materials, and keeping crews moving
✅ Action > information: the 10% who execute and how to become one of them
✅ Serving the community: Hispanic REI meetups, bilingual advantage, paying it forward
✅ Freedom defined: time, travel, and values—without checking the price tag
✅ Simple rule of thumb: “Buy one a year” as a lifetime wealth plan
