35 Life Lessons I've Learned by 35 | Recast

In this episode, I open up about the biggest lessons I've learned over 35 years of wins, failures, pivots, and personal growth. I reflect on my journey from being broke in the Marine Corps to building a multimillion-dollar business, raising my son, and navigating some painful life moments that shaped who I’ve become. I talk candidly about mindset, discipline, consistency, and the uncomfortable but necessary internal work that actually moves your life forward. My hope is that these experiences offer clarity, encouragement, and a roadmap for anyone fighting through their own challenges.   Timestamps (00:00) – Intro (03:45) – Early Marine Corps journey (07:32) – Mindset drives your success (11:18) – Discipline over motivation (15:04) – Failure as feedback loop (18:50) – Leading by example (22:36) – Protect your inner circle (26:22) – Live below your means (30:08) – Real estate wealth leverage (33:54) – Embrace discomfort and growth (37:40) – Community elevates success (41:27) – Final reflections and challenge   About the Show On the Military Millionaire Podcast, I share real conversations with service members, veterans, and their families.
