Terrence Davis and Dustin Hayes get brutally honest about the chaos they grew up in — from abusive homes to generational trauma, fractured fatherhood, and surviving pain with silence.
Terrence opens up about being raised by a drug-addicted mother, a physically abusive grandmother, and a dad who showed up late — and empty-handed. Dustin shares how his father broke him physically and emotionally, and how that shaped his approach to relationships, leadership, and business.
From surviving addiction to navigating broken family dynamics and building businesses while battling inner chaos, this episode is a raw, layered journey through what it takes to break generational curses.
Trigger warning: abuse, addiction, generational trauma, and dark humor.

The “Warrior in the Garden” paradox
