In this first episode of the Level Up Podcast, I open up about where it all began — my real story. The one behind the titles, the businesses, and the success.
From growing up in foster care and facing instability at a young age, to building multiple companies, leading communities, and creating a life on my own terms — this episode is about turning pain into purpose and chaos into clarity.
I share how my childhood shaped my drive, how forgiveness became my turning point, and why building a business is never just about strategy — it’s about healing, self-awareness, and ownership.
If you’ve ever felt like your past was too heavy to build from — this one’s for you.
