Play Your Position

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn't lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought "there's got to be a better way." He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors, and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the "better way" he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success today to one decision he made as a senior in high school: forgiving his dad and taking a different path in life than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness. 36 years have passed since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He also loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives.

Today I put a special pin on the map of my podcasting journey -- pin #300. That's right, Today's episode is number 300, and I am proud to say I did it! I achieved a goal that once seemed very, very far away.

I have my guests to thank, I have you to thank, I am thanking myself for setting this goal and achieving it on the day I said I would, July 9th, 2020. That doesn't always happen. There are plenty of times in my life when I didn't hit a goal on the date I put on the calendar.

Today is not one of those days.

Today is a day of celebration. Glad you're choosing to celebrate with me!
