Look... I counted every single day.

3,650 days behind bars. Yeah, I'm that guy who literally counted down a DECADE of his life in a Florida prison.

But here's the thing that'll blow your mind...

Those weren't stolen years. They were GIVEN years.

I know, I know... sounds crazy coming from someone who lost everything, right? But stick with me here because this episode is about the third lesson that changed my entire damn life: Faith in God's Plan.

And before you roll your eyes thinking this is some "everything happens for a reason" BS... it's not.

This is about me realizing I was trying to control EVERYTHING (spoiler alert: didn't work) and what happened when I finally surrendered.

We're talking about:

- Why I had to lose control to find my purpose

- The moment forgiveness hit me like a freight train (and I mean EVERYTHING got forgiven)

- How I built my business by buying "Easy Financing" signs... when I didn't even HAVE a financing license yet (yeah, that happened)

Chesco always says: "You do what's possible, God does the impossible."

Turns out he was right.

Whether you're drowning in your business, your relationships are a mess, or you just feel like life is happening TO you instead of FOR you...

this one's gonna hit different.

Because sometimes your biggest breakdown becomes your biggest breakthrough.

And sometimes prison becomes your greatest gift.

(Trust me, I'm as surprised as you are about that last part.)

Let's talk about it.

Most entrepreneurs hit a wall when their hustle stops producing results. Drawing from a challenging season of team changes and system failures, Kyle reveals the hidden truth about business growing pains: what feels like failure is often the signal you're ready for your next evolution. Discover why outgrowing your ability to muscle through problems is actually a sign of success, how to spot the glimmers of hope that point you forward, and when it's time to shift from energy-driven leadership to data-driven operations. Essential listening for business owners ready to build sustainable success beyond their personal capacity.

Progress feels invisible when you're grinding through the hardest parts of building something meaningful. Drawing from his second lesson learned during 10 years of incarceration, Kyle reveals why the most significant growth happens when you can't see it - and why that uncomfortable feeling is actually proof you're moving forward. Discover why there's no such thing as overnight success, how discomfort signals real change is happening, and practical steps for maintaining faith in your process when results feel distant. Essential for anyone questioning whether their daily efforts are actually working.

Look... I'm gonna be real with you.

This year has been rough.

You know that feeling when you're building momentum... eight years of grinding, everything clicking, staff trained up, leads flowing, property deals happening...

And then it all just... stops.

Staff left. Marriage got rocky. Leads dried up. Property deals stalled.

It's like watching everything you built start falling apart piece by piece.

And yeah, we lost money. $17K one month, another $10-15K the next.

(That's not supposed to happen when you've been at this for eight years.)

Here's what nobody tells you about momentum...

Sometimes it just disappears.

Not because you're doing anything wrong. But because growth gets messy.

When you're spending $40-50K a month in overhead, every mistake costs you. You need 20 cars at $2,500 profit each just to break even.

Miss a few sales? You're in the red.

But here's the thing...

When your bucket has holes, you don't sit there frustrated about the leaking water.

You find the holes. And you plug them.

One at a time.

Even when it feels like you're playing whack-a-mole.

This episode is for every entrepreneur who's felt like their momentum just... vanished.

Time to find those holes and get back to work.

Look, I'm gonna be real with you...

This year has been straight up BRUTAL. Like, wake-up-and-question-everything brutal.

I'm talking about those mornings when you stare at your bank account and think, "What am I even doing?"

You know what I'm talking about. That gut-punch feeling when you're working harder than you've EVER worked... and your revenue looks like it's going backwards.

Yeah. That's been my 2025.

And here's the thing nobody tells you about entrepreneurship (because they're too busy posting their highlight reels on LinkedIn)...

Sometimes you're gonna feel like you're losing your mind.

Every obstacle you overcome? There's another one RIGHT behind it like some sick joke.

I wrote in my journal: "It feels like we're fighting for every single inch."

Every. Single. Inch.

But here's what I figured out (and why I'm sharing this messy truth with you)...

What if this ISN'T failure?

What if this is exactly what growth looks like when you're about to break through to the next level?

I mean, think about it. Joshua felt completely unqualified to lead Israel. God literally had to tell him "Don't be afraid" THREE TIMES in one chapter.

Why? Because Joshua was scared out of his mind.

Sound familiar?

Here's the raw truth: When you're investing more to make less... when every win feels hard-fought... when you're questioning if you even know what you're doing...

You might be exactly where you need to be.

Not where you WANT to be. Where you NEED to be.

And if you're in that place right now (fighting for every inch, wondering if you've lost your mind, staring at numbers that don't make sense)...

You're not alone.

You're not failing.

You might just be in the storm before the breakthrough.

Listen up...

You're LYING to yourself if you think you're gonna magically start crushing life when your situation gets "better."

I spent a DECADE locked up. Ten years. And you know what I learned?

The guys waiting for release to "really start living"? They never did ANYTHING when they got out.

But the ones who figured out how to WIN inside those concrete walls? Man... they came out UNSTOPPABLE.

Here's the brutal truth nobody wants to hear: Your circumstances don't create your results. YOUR CHOICES DO.

I was 21, facing what felt like a life sentence, surrounded by chaos and violence... and I had a choice. Let that place break me down OR use every single minute to build myself up.

Guess which one actually works?

This episode is about the FIRST lesson that changed everything for me (and yeah, there's seven more coming because prison was basically a masterclass in life that nobody signs up for).

"Do your time, don't let your time do you."

Sounds simple, right? It's NOT.

Most people are getting DONE by their time right now. Scrolling. Waiting. Making excuses. Living on autopilot.

I'm gonna show you how to flip that script... how to take control of your 24 hours like your LIFE depends on it (because it does).

If you're tired of waiting for tomorrow to save you, this one's for you.

Stop waiting. Start DOING.

Everything changed when Kyle realized his biggest setback was actually his greatest teacher. Drawing from exactly eight years of freedom after ten years of incarceration, Kyle reveals the eight transformative lessons that not only helped him survive prison but continue to drive his success today. From "do your time, don't let your time do you" to understanding that there's no such thing as coincidence, discover how the most difficult season of his life became the foundation for everything he's accomplished since. This raw, honest breakdown shows why moving with urgency isn't just motivation - it's survival wisdom that applies to every area of life. Essential listening for anyone who needs to transform their perspective on setbacks and find purpose in difficult seasons.

Look, most people think they're humble...

But they're full of ish.

Here's the truth: I used to be one of those people. Thought I had all the answers. Thought feedback was an attack. Thought constructive criticism meant someone was trying to tear me down.

I was wrong.

DEAD wrong.

You know what changed everything? Getting my ass handed to me by life. Multiple times. Until my ego finally died (and trust me... it needed to).

Now here's the crazy part...

When someone comes at me with feedback (even the hard stuff), I get EXCITED. Not defensive. Not angry. Excited.

Because I figured out the cheat code.

The people who make it... the ones pulling in millions while you're still grinding... they all have ONE thing in common. They can take a punch. They can receive wisdom without their pride getting in the way.

Most entrepreneurs? They're walking around with invisible armor. Can't learn. Can't grow. Can't get out of their own damn way.

This episode is about dropping that armor.

It's about why your biggest teachers are probably telling you stuff you already know (and why that's GOOD news). It's about turning criticism into rocket fuel instead of letting it crush you.

If you're ready to stop being your own worst enemy... this one's for you.
