I Begged for $1 on the Street, Then Made 6 Figures—and Lost It All

In this foundational episode, I share the raw, unfiltered truth about my financial journey. I went from begging for $1 on the street when I went broke, to building a six-figure business, only to experience major setbacks and lose it all.This isn’t your typical “get rich quick” story. Instead, we’re having a real conversation about the distinction between making money and building generational wealth. Through the lens of my failures, I’ve learned that income can change your lifestyle temporarily, but stewardship can change your family’s future permanently.This is a movement for anyone rebuilding their finances, business, faith, or life. We are focusing on Faith + Finance + Stewardship + Discipline + Purpose, and becoming the people capable of building something that lasts.Remember: Your setback is a chapter—not your whole story.
