They told me being a CEO would be fun.
What they didnāt tell meā¦
Was how often it would test everything in me.
When I was sleeping on the streets ā homeless, hopeless ā I believed success would fix me.
That if I could become somebodyā¦ build somethingā¦ achieve enoughā¦
Iād finally feel like I mattered.
Like I was enough.
Like the pain would stop.
Today Iām the founder and CEO of two companies valued at over $30M.
Truth: the problems didnāt disappear.
They just changed shape.
This past year I went through a divorce.
Iāve had to make brutal calls, carry the weight of other peopleās livelihoods, and lead teams through moments I didnāt feel ready for.
And stillāI wake up every day with purpose.
Iām building something that matters.
Iām living the dream I once prayed forā¦ even when itās heavy.
So if youāre grinding, thinking success will make you feel whole?
It wonāt.
But building with purpose?
Thatās the kind of success that doesnāt fade.
