What if the reason you feel stuck is not because you are incapable, but because you are trying to do it alone?

There was a season when Joey Drolshagen did not want to live anymore. On the outside, he was climbing. Corporate success. Vice President of Sales. Leading teams. Hitting numbers. On the inside, there was a hole in his soul that no achievement could fill. He had learned to forecast revenue, build action plans, and grind through resistance. What he had not learned was how to surrender.

In this powerful conversation, Joey opens up about the moment pain became his turning point. He shares how clarity became his lifeline. Not surface level goal setting, but deep, internal alignment with God and purpose. He reveals why we will never reach our full potential if we are trying to think our way there. If the vision is small enough to achieve alone, it is not big enough.

Through his Subconscious Mindset Training method, Joey guides leaders to slow down, breathe, and confront the hidden programming that shapes their reality. He explains how your subconscious patterns determine your perception, and how your perception creates your results. When that shifts, everything shifts. Businesses grow from 7.5 million to 22 million in a year. More importantly, men grow from survival to significance.

This episode is about more than business. It is about becoming. Becoming the person internally who can carry the vision externally. It is about wrestling with God and discovering you did not lose. It is about refusing to settle for Plan B when your soul was designed for Plan A.

If you have been running at full speed yet feeling empty, this conversation will meet you right where you are and call you higher.

P.S. If something inside you whispered, there is more for me, do not ignore it. Reach out. Start the conversation. Your next level of clarity may be one brave step away.

What if the storm in front of you is not the end, but the birthplace of your legacy?

At fifteen years old, Orlando Cepeda sat on the edge of a cold exam table in Puerto Rico, his knee swollen, his dreams hanging in the balance. Doctors spoke in statistics. Surgery. Limitations. The end of running. The end of baseball. But his father did not look at the charts. He looked at his son.

No surgery, he said. Do not lose your spirit. This is where the real fight begins.

In this unforgettable conversation, Malcolm Cepeda invites us into the private rooms where legends are truly formed. Not under stadium lights. Not inside Hall of Fame ceremonies. But in hospital rooms, in storms, in moments where faith either collapses or becomes unshakable.

Malcolm shares how his father, Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda, carried grit not as bravado but as inheritance. A legacy born from poverty in Puerto Rico. From sharing bats. From playing barefoot. From a father who believed character was stronger than any diagnosis.

Then the story shifts.

Years later, sitting beside his father in another hospital room, Malcolm hears devastating news from doctors. Fear fills the space. But Orlando does not see a storm. He sees a rainbow. He speaks of building a foundation. He speaks of helping children who cannot choose their zip code. He speaks of progress, not legacy.

In the midst of his own health battle, he plants seeds.

The Orlando Cepeda Foundation was not born in a boardroom. It was born in pain transformed into purpose. It was born from a refusal to let hardship have the final word.

Malcolm also shares the sacred moment near the end of his father’s life, when fear dissolved and peace entered the room. A moment that deepened his faith and reminded him that redemption, forgiveness, and grace are always within reach.

This episode is about grit. About surrender. About faith in the fire. About becoming a rookie again in the Kingdom of God.

If you are walking through a storm right now, this conversation will remind you that you are not drowning. You are being shaped.

And somewhere ahead of you, there is a rainbow waiting to be built through you.

P.S. If this story stirred something in your spirit, reach out to someone who needs encouragement today. Be the steady voice in their storm. Your faith might be the beginning of their rainbow.
