In this solo episode, I take you back to the very beginning of my sales career—starting in 2007, fresh out of school, with nothing but a headset, a list of cold calls, and an economic crash unfolding around me.

I share the raw, real, and often untold truths about what it takes to succeed when the odds are stacked against you—and how the lessons I learned in that season are more relevant than ever today.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur navigating uncertainty, a leader trying to motivate your team, or someone who feels like the market is working against you—this episode is packed with takeaways that can help you sell smarter, lead stronger, and grow more intentionally.

🔑 In this episode, I talk about:

• Why mindset can make or break your business

• How you can build resilience and thrive during any economic seaon

• 10 lessons that still shape how I approach sales, leadership, and personal growth

• Why discipline beats motivation—and why volume matters more than perfection

• What today’s economy means for the way we show up in our businesses

This isn’t just a business episode—it’s about shifting how we think, lead, and keep going when things get hard.
