Raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart—Vince Ricci's story of transformation from Bronx street survivor to creative powerhouse will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about forgiveness, resilience, and what it truly means to protect those you love.

The founder and CEO of Hubble Studio doesn't just share his success story; he rips open the vault on his tumultuous upbringing where survival meant discerning friend from foe, where trust could get you killed, and where the most feared men were sometimes the most tender-hearted. His candid reflections on growing up surrounded by violence, addiction, and chaos reveal how these experiences forged his uncompromising approach to both business and family.

When armed intruders threatened his home, Vince's split-second decision to engage in what became a viral 75-second gunfight wasn't just about self-preservation—it was about an absolute commitment to protecting his family at all costs. "That outcome was a million percent better than letting them in my house," he explains with chilling clarity. Yet perhaps most surprising is his matter-of-fact forgiveness toward those same attackers: "He's doing what he knows to do...what do I need to forgive him for?"

This paradoxical ability to be both unflinchingly tough and remarkably compassionate defines Vince's approach to fatherhood, business relationships, and personal growth. He's built Hubble Studio into a creative juggernaut that's shot hundreds of Vogue covers and worked with countless A-list celebrities, while simultaneously honoring his mother's memory through charity work that transforms lives.

Whether recounting street confrontations or explaining how he teaches his young daughter both fearlessness and security, Vince delivers hard-earned wisdom with unexpected vulnerability. "If you dwell on shit, you're going to live in that shit," he states plainly, revealing that his approach to forgiveness isn't about moral superiority—it's about freedom.

Ready to challenge your own perspectives on healing, protection, and what it means to truly move forward? This episode will leave you questioning where your own capacity for forgiveness ends, and whether your past is defining your future more than you realize.
