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.

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.
