Rapper. Firefighter. Stay-at-home dad. Author. Entrepreneur. What do those 5 roles bring to mind? Chances are "the same person" isn't what pops into your head. Yet today's guest is all of those things, and SO much more. I was truly blown away by my conversation with Corey Paul... his story had such a profound and lasting impact on me and I know it will impact you as well!

To say that Corey grew up in less than ideal circumstances would be an understatement. Overcoming the odds, he rose to fame and achieved success within the music industry. And then things got challenging, really challenging. Instead of letting that derail him, he persevered through the struggles and grew in his faith, his relationships and his character.  Corey gets real & vulnerable and shares lessons he learned through his toughest times and how he got to the other side.

He published a book this year and started releasing some incredible music again. Check out Corey's book Path to Podcast Success: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Podcast-Success-Everything-Learned/dp/B0CGW118KM
