Episode 2

“Before the Legacy: My Backstory and the Streets That Raised Me”

"Your environment can raise you, but it doesn’t have to define you."
I didn’t choose where I was born. I didn’t choose the struggles my family faced. But I did choose what I would do with those experiences. My surroundings shaped me—but they didn’t finish me.

Everybody sees the change. The books. The business. The podcast. But what most people don’t know is what it took to get here.

In this episode, I’m going back to the beginning—Ocklawaha, Florida, where it all started.
I was raised by my grandmother and mother while my father was on drugs and in and out of prison. The neighborhood we lived in—Crack Hill—was a place most people didn’t walk through unless they had to. I saw things early that no kid should see. I felt pressure to grow up too fast.

I’ll share:

• What life was really like in Crack Hill

• How I went from honor roll to hustling

• The impact my father’s absence—and presence—had on me

• The trauma I carried and didn’t even realize

• And how the survival skills I learned in the streets later became business skills—but at a heavy price

This isn’t just about pain. It’s about the roots of resilience.

Episode 1: Why I Chose This Path and How Prison Shaped Me

Quote of the Day:
"The only limit to your success is the belief that you cannot succeed
No matter where you have come from, your mindset will determine where you go. I had to shift my belief about what was possible for my future, and that is what truly set me free.

From prison to purpose. From hustling to healing. This is my real story.

In this episode, I open up about my transformation — from being incarcerated and battling addiction, to turning my life around through prayer, goal-setting, walking miles, and self-discipline. I self-published my book, got my license back, earned my CDL, and studied for my real estate license — all while on the road. This is the raw truth behind my success, and it's just the beginning of The Welcome Legacy Podcast.
