Kevin D’Anna didn’t have a "typical" path to success. His early chapters were written in the shadow of an alcoholic father and a childhood spent moving between 27 different homes. By age 18, he was facing his first DUI; by his third, he was sitting in a jail cell realizing he had built the very bed he was lying in.

The turning point wasn't a sudden stroke of luck—it was a book and a choice. He realized that he was his own biggest problem. Once he took ownership of his life, he didn't just find sobriety; he found his calling as a leader.

He went from bartending to running a Hertz counter, eventually buying a collision center and nearly doubling its revenue in three years by focusing on the one thing most owners ignore: the people.

Today on I’m Up He See’s Me I’m Down, we sit down with Kevin to discuss:

• The moment he realized alcohol was stealing his potential

• How to transition from a "technician" to a true CEO

• Why he’s now on a mission to give Think and Grow Rich to an entire generation of kids

This isn't surface-level motivation. This is a story about the grit required to rebuild from the ground up.
