In this powerful first episode of Real DNA with Desmond Acha, I take you deep into my journey—from a young immigrant hustling in the streets of Baltimore to building a $23 billion government contracting movement.
I share how I accidentally stumbled into the world of government contracting, the blueprint I used to go from truck driver to deal closer, and how I’ve helped over 5,000 businesses tap into government money. You’ll hear about my early hustles, the systems I built, and the strategy I’m using to create a billion-dollar empire—starting with YOU.
This isn’t just my origin story—it’s a roadmap for anyone chasing purpose, power, and legacy through government contracts.
