The Title is how I felt for over a year after walking away from a construction sale at the start of 2024.

Where’d he go?Are the rumors true?Is he okay?

This recording holds all the answers.

On October 29, 2025, The Purpose Chasers officially makes its comeback.

Marriage — never in a million years did I think I’d end up with the one I did. Megan, I’m grateful for you every day.

Let’s get back to it. 💯

After walking away from a $5.1M sale, facing betrayal, burnout, and a brutal season of silence, I’m back — and this is the truth.
This is the rebirth of The Purpose Chasers Podcast.

In this raw comeback episode, I share how hip hop kept me alive when everything else fell apart — and how I’m reclaiming my name, my story, and my purpose. From walking away from a sale that compromised integrity to rediscovering my passion through the music industry, this is the unfiltered breakdown of what really went down and what’s coming next.

In this episode:

• Why I walked from a $5.1M deal just days from closing
• What really happened after stepping out of Energy Shield
• How I turned silence, gossip, and darkness into clarity
• The top 5 business lessons I learned from hip hop
• Why Purpose Chasers 3.0 is my “codependent no more” comeback

Featuring lessons from managing Produced by Nef and the real talk that reignited my purpose.
If you’ve ever been knocked down, counted out, or told no — this one’s for you.
