Ever catch a smell or hear a sound that takes you straight back to a time in your life you once hated, but now you remember it fondly? In today's episode, I share a moment where the smell of fresh sod threw me straight back to my grittiest college job. I share a story from my early 20s, doing landscape work at 5:00 a.m., and why I’d trade anything to relive that again for just one week. I also talk about our rock-bottom reset in 2009, how Lori and I rebuilt from zero, why you’ll someday look back at today and be thankful. 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  •  A reminder that loving what you do is the real flex.

  • The smell that instantly transported me to my toughest summer job.

  • What Dave the foreman taught me about work ethic and hitting the gym.

  • Lessons from losing everything in 2009.

  • How hours of walking and dreaming with Lori built our entire comeback.
