At 19 years old… he lost his sight.But he didn't lose his vision.In this episode of Road to Victory, I sit down with one of my closest friends — The Blind Boss — a two-time author of Dying to Live and Before and After.We used to be together every day.Same energy. Same environment.Until something changed.He read Pimp by Iceberg Slim…and his entire approach to life, women, and relationships shifted.Now, he lives a completely different lifestyle — surrounded by women, experiences, and choices that most people don't openly talk about.But this episode isn't about glorifying anything.It's about understanding.We talk about:• Losing his sight at 19 and how it reshaped his mindset• Becoming a 2x author and building identity without vision• How reading Pimp influenced his perspective on women• The role different women have played in his life• The difference between love, desire, and control• What he's learned from relationships — good and bad• The truth about lifestyle vs fulfillmentThis is a real conversation.No judgment.No filters.Just perspective.Because sometimes the most powerful insights…Come from someone who sees life differently than you ever could.Welcome to the Road to Victory.

Four years ago today… I was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure.And nobody believed me.Because it was April Fools.But there was nothing funny about it.That day didn't just expose my health…It exposed me.Not because I didn't like myself —but because I didn't even know who I was.The only version of me I recognized…was the underachieving version.The one who settled.The one who numbed.The one who avoided becoming.So I had to do something most people never do:Start from scratch.In this episode of Road to Victory, I reflect on the moment everything changed — and the identity crisis that followed.We talk about:• Being diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure on April Fools• What it feels like when people don't take your reality seriously• The difference between self-hate and lack of self-awareness• Living as an underachieving version of yourself• Why sometimes you have to tear everything down and rebuild• What it means to finally start walking into your wildest dreamsThis episode isn't about sickness.It's about awakening.Because sometimes life doesn't break you…It reveals you.And if you're willing to start over…You might finally meet the person you were meant to be.Welcome to the Road to Victory.
