Ep 242 | They Said I'd Be "Dead or Jail by 21" | The Story That Changed My Life

In this episode, I'm sharing a speech I gave at Beats & Barbells, where I broke down the story behind the three phases that shaped my life. I went from being the kid people thought would end up dead or in jail by 21, to building discipline through the iron, changing the direction of my life, and chasing a vision bigger than what anyone believed was possible. The truth is, when you're in the middle of the struggle, the dots rarely make sense. But when you look back, every setback, every rep, and every decision was building something. This is the story of the foundation, the breakdown, and the build up — and how adversity can become the thing that changes everything.
