Dreams are just stories we tell ourselves.

What matters is what happens when we wake up.

In this episode of Road to Victory, I reflect on the people and lessons that shaped me growing up — from drug dealers telling me not to sell drugs, to older generations pushing us toward school, to the subtle street wisdom that taught discipline in unconventional ways.

But beyond the nostalgia is a bigger concern:

Who’s raising the next generation?

We talk about:

• Why action matters more than dreams

• The unexpected mentors who shaped my life

• How community guidance influenced our generation

• Growing up physically provided for but emotionally underdeveloped

• Why so many kids today seem lost and disconnected

• The consequences of children being left to figure life out alone

• Why survival isn’t enough anymore — we need emotional intelligence too

This episode is about legacy.

Because if we don’t guide the babies…

Something else will.

Welcome to the Road to Victory.
