In this gripping episode of the Mike Fallat Time Hacker Podcast, Mike sits down with author and entrepreneur Bevan Cox, whose new book Turn Toward the Storm: How I Turned Trauma into Triumph unpacks one of the most harrowing and inspiring redemption stories you’ll ever hear.

Bevan opens up about a childhood marked by trauma, a lifetime of people-pleasing, and the destructive belief systems that followed him into adulthood. After finding himself in an unhealthy marriage, losing his identity, and eventually hitting rock bottom—culminating in a near-suicide attempt—Bevan experienced a series of life-altering events that forced him to confront his deepest wounds.

One of the most shocking moments of the conversation: Bevan describes being wrongfully accused of attempted murder, arrested, held without bail, and facing a potential life sentence. A last-minute revelation about a forgotten dash cam—something he almost returned—ended up saving him from prison. That moment became a spiritual turning point, rekindling his relationship with God and reshaping his entire identity.

Mike and Bevan unpack the lessons learned:
• How childhood trauma shapes adult decisions
• Why people-pleasers become magnets for narcissists
• How to rebuild your sense of self from nothing
• Why peace—not profit—is the highest pursuit
• How entrepreneurs can turn personal storms into rocket fuel
• And why true confidence comes from steering through chaos, not avoiding it

Bevan’s story is raw, real, and packed with wisdom for anyone battling their own storm—especially entrepreneurs, empaths, and anyone trying to heal from the past.

What happens when the business you built becomes the cage that traps you?

In this powerful episode of The Mike Fallat Show, I sit down with Eric Kline, author of The Liberated CEO: The Business That Runs Without You. Eric’s journey takes us from the high-end construction world of the Cayman Islands to the inner workings of the Ritz-Carlton’s gold-standard culture — and how those lessons shaped his philosophy on leadership, systems, and freedom.

We dive deep into the hero trap—that dangerous addiction entrepreneurs have to being needed for every decision—and how it destroys growth. Eric reveals the three I’s of hiring (Integrity, Intensity, and Intelligence), how to retrain your dopamine system as a leader, and why culture always beats strategy.

From running multimillion-dollar projects to mastering leadership through empowerment, Eric proves that the real legacy isn’t the buildings you create—it’s the people who carry your vision forward.

And of course, we talk AI in construction, Extreme Ownership, and how the future belongs to those who use the robots, not those replaced by them.

🔥 If you’re an entrepreneur who’s tired of running every department, answering every call, and wearing every hat—this episode will show you what true freedom feels like.
