Not an Option Podcast | Host Rick Alaimo’s Teenage Years, Hard Lessons & Grit

In this episode of the Not an Option Podcast, Rick takes us back to his teenage years growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in Chicago. From ages 13 to 19, he faced challenges that would break most people, but instead, they shaped the foundation of his grit, discipline, and resilience. Rick shares raw life stories, the mistakes he made, and the lessons he learned that still guide him today.

This isn’t just about construction, it’s about survival, mindset, and proving that no matter where you start, success is always possible if giving up is not an option.
