Larry Janesky came from humble beginnings. No one in his family went to college, and he didn't have the money to go to college, either. So he started his own carpentry business straight out of high school and expanded that business into a multimillion dollar home improvement empire.

Plus, Larry also has a digital marketing agency, over 32 patented products, 1600+ employees, and runs an entrepreneurship school for anyone who wants to learn how to do what he did.

If there's one thing Garrain Jones knows, it's how to transform your life for the better.

This guy has an epic story. Tough childhood events put his life into a downward trajectory that led him to selling drugs, stripping, going to prison, and becoming over $200,000 in debt. It seemed like every time he took one step forward, he'd take two steps back.

Finally, he had enough and committed to changing his life. He moved to LA, starred in a Beyoncé music video, signed a $500,000 record deal with Ludacris, built a 7-figure business, wrote a best-selling book, helped his mom achieve her dream of going to fashion school, met and married his wife, and now helps others transform their own lives.

In this episode, he shares how shifting your mindset is the first step to breaking unhealthy cycles in your life.
