Sometimes life throws you into the depths, but rock bottom can be the foundation for incredible change. In this video, I open up about my journey from homelessness and addiction to building a better life and pushing my career to new heights.
Rock bottom looks different for everyone, but it’s not about how far you fall—it’s about how you rise. For me, losing everything gave me clarity. It shattered my fear, pushed me to reject what I would no longer tolerate, and fueled my determination to succeed.
In this honest and unfiltered talk, I share:
- How my experience with addiction and living on the streets shaped me.
- Why hitting rock bottom can ignite powerful motivation.
- The mental strength and resilience I built through life’s hardest moments.
- Why you should never be ashamed of your struggles—own them, and let them fuel your growth.
Whether your lowest point was losing a job, facing a personal failure, or something deeply personal, you have the power to turn those experiences into strength. It’s not easy, but once you break through, you’ll never look back.
👉 Join the conversation: What’s your rock-bottom story? How did you rise from it? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Sharing your experience might just inspire someone else to take that first step forward.
Key Takeaways:
- How to use adversity as motivation.
- The importance of embracing your past without shame.
- Building resilience to handle life’s challenges.
- Why rock bottom can be a wake-up call for greatness.
This isn’t just a story about business—it’s about survival, growth, and the raw, real journey to a better life. I hope this video inspires someone to turn their own struggles into success.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
