Norman Towns on Outworking the Odds

Let’s be real, success isn’t sexy at the start. Norman Towns knows that better than anyone. Before he hit the screen, he was doing all the jobs no one brags about: spinning signs on the sidewalk, washing dishes, pulling overnight security shifts. Whatever it took.

In this episode, Norman keeps it raw and real about the grind behind the dream. We talk about pushing past fear, staying disciplined when no one’s watching, and why the people who win are usually the ones who just don’t quit.

He shares wild stories (like Mark Wahlberg’s 2 AM workouts) and drops some serious wisdom: talent’s cool, but work ethic is what gets you paid.

If you’re chasing something big and wondering if it’s all worth it, this convo is your reminder to keep showing up.

No fluff, just straight-up motivation with a few laughs along the way. Tap in, and get ready to feel fired up.

What does it really take to go from struggling to thriving?

In this raw and motivating episode, e-commerce expert Zoe Khan shares her incredible journey from financial desperation to running a successful agency with over 100 employees.

Zoe’s story starts with selling plasma just to afford a phone to apply for jobs. Juggling multiple minimum-wage jobs, sometimes working 18+ hours a day.

She built the work ethic and problem-solving skills that shaped her entrepreneurial success.

As Zoe puts it, “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does buy not-struggling.”

From flipping burgers at Culver’s to handling customer service at an energy drink startup to streaming on Twitch, every step taught her something valuable. Her big break came when she realized she could solve e-commerce problems others couldn’t, turning that skill into a thriving consulting practice.

This episode dives into the grit, resilience, and creativity it takes to succeed when you’re starting with nothing. Zoe’s story is proof that struggle isn’t a setback — it’s the foundation for future success.

Don’t miss her powerful insights and get inspired to turn your challenges into opportunities.
