Two years ago, my son was sleeping in his car in Los Angeles — working 80 hours a week, barely showering, and just trying to survive.

Today, he is in a different place.

Not perfect. Not finished. But clearer.

In this episode of THEE BIG SWING, we sit down as father and son and talk honestly about what changed — and what did not.

This is not really about trading.

It is about discipline, frustration, identity, accountability, and the moment you are forced to look at yourself and decide who you are going to become.

We talk about survival, hard choices, emotional pressure, and the quiet work of rebuilding your life from a place that once felt impossible.

Because sometimes the shift does not happen all at once.

It happens quietly.

And then everything feels different.

THEE BIG SWING with Lloyd Hassell

There's a version of you that existed before something shifted - before a conversation, a decision, a thing you almost didn't say. You don't always recognize the moment it happened. You just notice, later, that you're not who you were.

This is a reflective podcast about those moments: the emotional reckonings and subtle internal recalibrations that change our trajectory over time - and the possibilities still available in life.

Each episode explores what happens when curiosity, courage, accountability, or reflection opens a new way of seeing ourselves and the world.

Through personal reflections and conversations, Lloyd explores changing identities, relationships, self-trust, and the quiet decisions that alter how we see ourselves over time.

This is for people who are quietly realizing they are not the same person anymore - and that there are still choices left.

The biggest swing isn't always dramatic.

Often, it's the shift inside that changes everything.
