Byron and Elena join the Built for Growth Podcast for a raw conversation on trauma, resilience, and rebuilding from rock bottom.

From meeting while Byron was homeless to overcoming abuse, military trauma, and a suicide attempt, they share how honesty and resilience helped them turn pain into purpose. This episode explores why people suffer in silence—and how choosing to face it can change everything.

If you're ready to take ownership of your story and grow through adversity, this one will challenge and inspire you.
