    The Man That I Would Become

    In this episode of The Human Journey – Your Story with David Hackett, Victor shares a powerful, deeply human story of resilience, leadership, faith, and purpose. Victor is an eighth‑generation Texan, a construction executive with nearly 50 years in the industry, and the founder of a ranch that donates hunts to combat veterans, children’s groups, and families facing unimaginable challenges. But before all of that, he was a boy raised by a single mother, stepping into the role of “man of the house” long before he should have had to. His book, “The Man That I Would Become,” began as a memoir for his grandchildren — but it grew into a platform for something much bigger: men’s mental health, especially in the construction industry, where suicide rates now exceed those of the military. Victor opens up about leadership, vulnerability, faith, and the moment he realized his life’s mission was to give back. We talk about: Growing up fatherless and finding identity through hardship A construction career that rose from $16 million to $2.2 billion The ranch that has now donated 64 hunts to veterans and children Why men struggle to ask for help — and how to change that The truth about modern masculinity, vulnerability, and healing David’s own journey with PTSD and the courage it takes to speak up This conversation is raw, honest, and full of heart. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, and that your story — no matter how heavy — can become someone else’s lifeline. Resources mentioned in this episode: “The Man That I Would Become” — available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and major bookstores If this conversation speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Your tribe is out there. Keep going.

    The Rickshaw Journey - Finding Your Voice, Leading with Purpose

    In this episode of The Human Journey — Your Story with David Hackett, leadership coach and soon‑to‑be author Bob opens up about the unconventional, unpredictable, and deeply meaningful path that shaped his upcoming book, The Rickshaw Journey — a memoir‑meets‑coaching guide designed to help people rediscover purpose and reclaim their authentic voice, especially in the second half of life. Bob shares stories from a childhood marked by instability — multiple moves, multiple family structures, even working at the Playboy Club as a teen and spending summers around the Hells Angels. These experiences became the soil for his life’s work: helping others understand the voices that shaped them and the voice they’re meant to live from now. We explore: The ECFBI Voice Framework — Early voices, Confused voices, Finding your voice, Being your voice, Influencing your voice Why his book blends memoir with coaching, ending each chapter with a reflection and a gentle action step The Rickshaw metaphor — slow, immersive, communal, and sometimes uncomfortable, just like real life Why did he choose not to publish under a Christian label, prioritizing authenticity over categorization How legacy is really about pouring purpose into others while you’re still here The men he wrote this book for — outwardly successful, inwardly asking “so what?” The “sweet spot” of purpose — where your gifts meet what you have a heart for Bob also grabbed onto David’s AEIOU framework — Amused, Educated, Inspired, Observing, Understanding — and plans to credit it in his work. 📘 The Rickshaw Journey is estimated to release within the next 6–12 months. 🎨 The book cover, inspired by Southern Asia, was photographed in Rogersville, Missouri. 🛺 Want a preview?

    James Hayden is a fractional CRO and go-to-market strategist who helps founders and executive teams build revenue engines that actually match how buyers make decisions today. With a background spanning enterprise sales, partnerships, and digital media, he specializes in turning scattered sales activity into clear, repeatable systems that drive predictable growth. Beneath the professional story is a much more personal one. James is an adoptee who spent most of his life not knowing his biological roots and only later discovered who he truly is—including the revelation that he has 15 half-siblings. That journey of identity, belonging, and redefining “family” as an adult reshaped how he sees himself, others, and his role as a leader. On The Human Journey — Your Story, James opens up about what it means to search for your origins without a map, how he navigated the emotional and practical realities of discovering a new family in midlife, and why this experience deepened his empathy, resilience, and commitment to real human connection in business and beyond. James will also amplify this episode across his 27,000+ first-degree LinkedIn network and his audiences on Instagram, X, Threads, and TikTok, helping bring The Human Journey to a wider community of professionals and creators who value honest, vulnerable storytelling.
