In this powerful episode of the Attractive Mindset Podcast, Derrick Grace shares his unfiltered journey from being fired as a 911 dispatcher to becoming a self-made entrepreneur, educator, and owner of multiple businesses — all while raising 10 children by his own rules. He breaks down the importance of self-reliance, building a family like a business, teaching kids real-world survival skills, and creating wealth outside of traditional systems. From defending himself in life-or-death situations to mastering marketing, guns, and homeschooling, Derrick’s story is a blueprint for taking control of your life without asking for permission.

If you’ve ever questioned how to beat the system, protect your family, and leave a lasting legacy, this conversation will challenge your perspective and give you game you won’t find anywhere else.
