I’m going to be diving deep into my own journey of transformation. Forget the highlight reels; we're talking raw, unfiltered truths about turning tough breaks into breakthroughs. I went from prison and the label of a Psychopath to a multimillionaire who helps millions across the planet. Sure, it's easy to think success is all about luck or some secret superpower, but the real magic? It's in overcoming the struggles that nobody sees.
