Life is “crazy” isn’t it?

Who would have thought a former addict, “thug” (as I was called), felon, drug dealer that was suicidal in the depths of despair would end up being able to share his story of transformation with places such as the Today Show, Men’s Health, Goalcast and Cheddar?

Who would have thought someone who barely graduated high school and HATED reading and writing would be able to write three books, one a best seller on Amazon, another selling over 500 copies in the first 5 months?

Who would have thought someone who was so insecure and “scared” growing up would have the courage to be transparent and real with people like Tom Bilyeu, Rich Roll, Dave Hollis and Dr. Drew?

Who would have thought that someone who was once scared to ask out a girl, afraid of his own shadow and never thought he had a voice would end up speaking to the defending National Champion Clemson football team?

Who would have thought that someone who never thought his relationship would ever be mended with his Mom due to choices he made would end up walking her down the aisle at her wedding.

Life is funny the way things work out, so the next time you find yourself asking yourself “why can’t this be me?” ask yourself “WHY NOT ME?” Your biggest setback can become your biggest blessing…
