  • Why I Launched Pangean Wear From Rock Bottom

    Good afternoon and welcome back to Roots to Rise. It’s been a minute, but I’m back with something personal, powerful, and honest. In this episode, I share why I launched my clothing brand, Pangean Wear, while navigating rock bottom — from divorce and debt to unemployment and ADHD.

    This episode is about more than launching a business. It’s about betting on yourself when life has knocked you down, and finding your fire again through purpose, creativity, and resilience.

    I talk about:

    • The emotional and financial hurdles I faced during the launch 💸

    • The mental shift that helped me move from survival to creation

    • Why now is the best time to start, even when you feel behind ⏳

    • Encouragement for men and anyone feeling stuck or unseen 🧠

    This is for the underdogs, the misfits, the late bloomers — anyone building something meaningful while rebuilding themselves.

    We’re roots. We rise. And we going to make it through.
