Steve Fader’s journey proves that success isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about knowing when to pivot, adapt, and keep moving forward. At just 16, Steve was out of his house, left to figure out life on his own. He started in oil and gas as a roughneck, taking on grueling labor before transitioning into EMT and firefighting. But deep down, he knew he was destined for more. His first big step into entrepreneurship came with a construction company, which grew fast—until it all came crashing down. Bankruptcy. A moment that could’ve ended everything. But instead of letting it define him, Steve made a bold pivot. He sold his next company for millions, paid off the CRA, and used that momentum to build an even bigger business. Now, as the CEO of a company worth hundreds of millions, Steve has mastered the art of turning failure into fuel. He’s also a big believer in fitness, mindset, and relationships, knowing firsthand that prioritizing health and discipline creates a competitive edge in business. His 10-year marriage to his wife, Crystal, is proof that success isn’t just about money—it’s about balancing all areas of life.
