The weight came off one habit at a time.
2022
In 2022 I weighed 300 pounds. I fixed food first, then movement, then sleep. Two years later I weighed about 150 pounds, and the weight never came back.

Figuring out my 20s on camera.
I lost 150 pounds, gave a TEDx Talk about how I did it at 18, and now I'm building a business in public, one video a day.

- Most people graduate high school thinking they're ready.
- They're not. Neither were we.
- So we made a podcast about everything school left out.
- Every episode, one thing that actually moves the needle.
- We wish someone had handed us the roadmap earlier. Consider this ours.

“Roadmap to Losing Weight”
A road trip, not a diet.
Fix food, movement and sleep first. Then swap the habits that pull you back.

What I've learned the hard way.
Focus on inputs, not the scale.
You can't control the outcome on any given day. You can control what you do.
Pick a direction.
Most people feel lost because they never chose one. A wrong direction still teaches you more than none.
Never take advice from someone whose life you don't want.
Choose mentors by their results, not by how loud they are.
Show up every day and you get lucky.
Consistency puts you in the right place often enough for luck to find you.
Speaking, collabs, or a roofing business that wants more jobs.
Email is the fastest way to reach me. I read everything.
