Dax: What Happens When You Finally Take the Shot You've Been Too Afraid to Take


Listen Later

What if the anger you've been running from is actually the fuel you need?

 

What happens when an 11-year-old discovers manifestation, commits a decade to basketball, then rewrites his entire life story with a poem on a bus?

 

Dax has built a career on saying what most people are afraid to say out loud. He is blending hip hop, gospel and country influences into music speaking from a place of raw vulnerability. But before the millions of followers and sold-out tours, he was a kid who felt invisible.

 

In this conversation, Dax opens up about discovering the Law of Attraction at age 11, spending ten years in what he calls an "unhealthy commitment" to basketball, and the pivotal moment on a team bus when he wrote his first poem and opened up a new outcome for his life. He reveals his ten-month journey of sobriety, confronting the tough questions and realizations of his lifestyle that changed everything.

 

Dax shares how anger became his alchemy; not something to escape, but a force he learned to harness through repetition and mental discipline. From mental health walks to the liquor store to performing sober for the first time, Dax's story is about transforming every rejection, every missed opportunity, and every uncomfortable emotion into art that changes lives.

 

This is a conversation about standing in your divinity, taking the jump when it matters most, and discovering that the person you're chasing when you drink is actually who you already are when you're fully present.

 

In this conversation, you'll learn:

  • How to Transform Anger Into Your Greatest Motivator
  • How the Law of Attraction Changed Everything at Age 11
  • How to Use Repetition as Your Only Real Superpower
  • How Missing Your Shot Can Become Your Greatest Teacher
  • How to Build an Audience From Zero to Millions Through Strategic Focus
  • How to Know When Alcohol Has Stopped Being a Tool and Started Being a Crutch
  • How to Perform Without the Substance You Thought You Needed
  • How to Quiet the Noise of the World So You Can Hear God's Voice
  • How to Give Yourself Six Months of Real Focus to Change Your Life
