Look... I counted every single day.
3,650 days behind bars. Yeah, I'm that guy who literally counted down a DECADE of his life in a Florida prison.
But here's the thing that'll blow your mind...
Those weren't stolen years. They were GIVEN years.
I know, I know... sounds crazy coming from someone who lost everything, right? But stick with me here because this episode is about the third lesson that changed my entire damn life: Faith in God's Plan.
And before you roll your eyes thinking this is some "everything happens for a reason" BS... it's not.
This is about me realizing I was trying to control EVERYTHING (spoiler alert: didn't work) and what happened when I finally surrendered.
We're talking about:
- Why I had to lose control to find my purpose
- The moment forgiveness hit me like a freight train (and I mean EVERYTHING got forgiven)
- How I built my business by buying "Easy Financing" signs... when I didn't even HAVE a financing license yet (yeah, that happened)
Chesco always says: "You do what's possible, God does the impossible."
Turns out he was right.
Whether you're drowning in your business, your relationships are a mess, or you just feel like life is happening TO you instead of FOR you...
this one's gonna hit different.
Because sometimes your biggest breakdown becomes your biggest breakthrough.
And sometimes prison becomes your greatest gift.
(Trust me, I'm as surprised as you are about that last part.)
Let's talk about it.
