When his father passed away, Dodds Hayden didn’t step into a thriving company—he inherited a family business on the brink of collapse. With just $9,000 left in the bank and $120,000 of payroll due, no credit line, and unfinished projects weighing the company down, Dodds had every reason to give up. 

In this candid episode, he reveals how emotional discipline, perspective, and stoic principles helped him survive loss, conflict, and near bankruptcy on his journey to success. A raw look at courage, decision-making under fire, and what it really takes to survive in the arena of business and life.
