What happens when your entire life is built on a label?

“Bad kid.”

“Angry Black boy.”

“Statistically doomed.”

For WWE legend, author, and founder of the Bullard Family Foundation, Thaddeus Bullard, also known as Titus O’Neil, that label almost stuck. He was told he’d be dead by 16. Today, he’s funding scholarships, raising champions, and fathering on purpose. In this episode, he breaks down how the right people, the right faith, and the right platform helped him go from invisible to influential.

He opens up about his childhood trauma, growing up as a product of rape, and the spiritual turning points that led him from pain to purpose. Through it all, one truth rings clear: God’s plan is bigger than your past.

Together, Melvin and Thaddeus explore:

The difference between who you are and what you do

Wrestling with fatherhood and healing generational wounds

How to overcome labels and reclaim your identity 

Building legacy through service, not status

Why success is for self, but significance is for others

This conversation is about redemption. It’s about exposure. And it’s about the call on every man’s life to live with divine purpose. 🔑 The Blessed Code™ lives here: No matter where you’ve been, you were made for more.

QUOTES: 

“Iron sharpens iron. You get the sparks when iron is against something similar to it. But if iron is against plastic, I don't get sharp.” – Dr. Delatorro McNeal II

“Labels kill confidence. When you were labeled, you tend to embrace that label. You tend to become what that label is.” — Travis Holloway

“We will always be in one of three places in life. That's why vulnerability is so important. Because if I'm only in one of three spots, I'm either in a storm, I just left a storm, or I'm heading towards a storm, then that means that storms are a normal part of life.” – Dr. Delatorro McNeal II

“No one should start businesses just to make money. You should start a business only to solve problems.” — Travis Holloway
