7FF 819: The story I never wanted to tell (but had to)

September 11, 2025

About This Episode

My hands were shaking when I hit “stop recording.”

That's never happened to me before.

I've been on stages in front of thousands of people. 

I've led Marines through combat deployments.

But sitting alone in my office, talking into a microphone about my childhood?

That broke me.

For 50 minutes, I told a story I've carried for 20 years. 

About a kid who grew up thinking he wasn't worth showing up for. 

About standing on porches waiting for people who never came.

About how my life spiraled and nearly landed me in prison. 

That rock bottom moment became a turning point.

The crazy part? 

That same kid went on to…

But none of that success means anything if I don't use it to show up for others the way I needed someone to show up for me.

Because the stories that scare us most to tell are usually the ones people need to hear.

If I can help you, don’t be afraid to speak up.
