Episode 2: Light At The End Of The Tunnel — Addiction and Success

I struggled with a gambling addiction for 15 years. Nothing was POSSIBLE. Everything felt IMPOSSIBLE.

During this episode I talk about how to move from impossible to possible through imperfect action, doing your own work, and embracing fear and vulnerability.

Sometimes we can't see the next step. We can't see the forest for the trees. When we're struggling it's really hard to imagine that things can be different.

From a gambling addict to a successful entrepreneur who owns multiple businesses, the story hasn't been easy, but I hope that it serves as inspiration.

When things feel impossible, when we can't see the next steps, it usually means we're on the right track.
