What if the chaos you survived as a child was actually preparing you for entrepreneurial success? Reef Colman was smuggled into the US at age three, grew up in hardship, and discovered that his brain had created a “chemical screenshot” that made chaos feel like home. In this raw conversation, he reveals how recognizing this pattern transformed his relationships and business approach, and he shares the pivotal moment when both a toxic relationship and a business betrayal collided, forcing him to ask the hardest question: what choices did I make that got me here? This isn’t just another success story, it’s a masterclass in radical self-accountability and the relationship with self that must come before all others.
