What if you could leave a long-standing career, travel the world with your family, and learn lessons that shift the trajectory of your life?

Well, that's precisely what I did.

After a 17-year career, I embarked on a transformative journey that altered my perspective and, ultimately, my destiny. Join me as I delve into my personal experience, sharing the four big questions that stirred growth and shone a light towards achieving my dreams. I'll also be discussing the power of positive association, which can undeniably shape your life.

The journey was not all rosy, though. I grappled with self-image and weight issues, which took a toll on my relationships and daily life.

However, every cloud has a silver lining. My struggles led me to the health and wellness industry, where I found my calling in helping others achieve their physical transformation goals. I'll be sharing insights from my journey, highlighting the importance of understanding the ripple effect of our daily choices and actions.

The last part of this journey was one of the most transformative. I struggled with alcohol, drugs, perfectionism, and the pressure of a growing business. But an eye-opening question from my wife set the wheels of change in motion. It led me to prioritize my health, become my own role model, and embrace the continuous evolution of my perspective and values.

The journey was tough, but it equipped me with invaluable lessons that I want to share with you. So whether you're battling uncertainty or just need a little nudge to make that small shift towards a better life, this episode is for you.
