Eight months ago, my life took a sharp turn.

I didn’t ask for it.

I didn’t plan for it.

But it came anyway—like a freight train in the dark.

First, the company my wife Genny and I had poured our hearts into for years…shut down without warning. One day before payday. No heads-up. No backup plan. Just gone.

Then just weeks later, I found myself in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, recovering from a stroke.

And if that wasn’t enough, our mortgage went up by $700 a month. Fixed income, rising expenses, and no job I can return to—not legally, not medically, not ethically. After 40 years behind the wheel as a truck driver, I had to hang up the keys.

Everything I built…suddenly felt like it was on shaky ground.

And in the quiet moments—when the noise stopped and the weight settled in—I found myself asking:

“Can I really trust myself to make the right decisions anymore?”

When everything you’ve ever known crumbles, that question gets real.

But here’s the surprising truth I discovered…

It wasn’t my circumstances that needed to change first.

It was my belief that I still decide who I was going to become next.

That I trust myself to choose a different path—even if it looked nothing like the old one.

That I trust that still, small voice—the one that said, “There’s more for you. You’re not done yet.”

I decided to believe that voice.

I decided to believe that what felt like the end…was really just a pivot.

A chance to build something that no stroke, no shutdown, and no financial storm ever take from me.

And so, I leaned into something new.

Not just a business—but a mission.

A mission to help people who feel like life blindsided them—just like it did me.

People who are 55, 60, 65 years old and wondering, Is this all there is?

People who want to feel good again.

People who want to build income again.

People who want to believe in their future again.

And today, I wake up with more purpose than I ever had in the cab of that truck.

Was it easy? No.Was I scared? Absolutely.

But I made the decision to trust my own decisions—to trust that God wasn’t done writing my story.

And He’s not done writing yours either.

So if you’re standing at a crossroads right now, if you’ve lost something, if your life looks nothing like you thought it would… let me tell you what I had to tell myself:

You don’t need every answer to move ahead.

You just need to trust the next right step.

And then take it.

Because the comeback?

It’s already in motion.
