In this episode, I sit down with Billy Keels — someone I deeply admire for the way he has built a life rooted in ambition and family. Our conversation moves through the many chapters of his story: growing up with limited resources, rising through corporate leadership, building multiple businesses, facing personal and professional challenges, and ultimately choosing a life designed around freedom, presence, and intentionality.

What inspires me most is how openly Billy shares the moments that broke him open and the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild on his own terms.

Together, we explore what it really looks like to redefine success — especially for men in high-pressure roles who feel responsible for everyone and everything around them.

5 reflections you’ll walk away with:

• How financial autonomy can shift your entire sense of agency — not just your income.
• Why asking for what you need at work isn't a risk, but a skill most high achievers never learned.
• The hidden cost of doing everything alone, and what happens when you finally allow support.
• Why resilience is built through adversity — not avoided by perfection.
• What it truly means to design a career around your values instead of your fears.

Billy’s story is a powerful reminder that freedom isn’t something you wait for — it’s something you create, one honest decision at a time.

If you removed the pressure to be everything for everyone, what kind of life would you finally give yourself permission to build?
