I went broke and I lost my house my wife's car got repossessed and I lost the power in our house which is all bad

But if you've ever experienced this one we had the water turned off even talking about it now is hard for me

We would have to get up in our apartment complex and climb down the stairs in the morning and go to the pool and there's an outdoor shower there and my hold a towel up where my new bride would take her shower

so no one could see her outside, brush her teeth.

Then we would switch and she'd hold the towel up

and I'd shower and brush my teeth. And then we would walk back. I was so ashamed

Hey friend, welcome back to the Light Watkins show I'm Light Watkins and I have

conversations with ordinary folks just like you and me who've taken

Today, we've got a bite-sized plot twist episode for you.

A plot twist is a shorter clip from a past episode

where the guest shares the story of the pivotal moment in their life trajectory

where they found the gateway to their calling.

And the idea behind sharing their plot twists is to inspire you

to lean into those plot twists whenever they happen in your life.

Because usually, when you get turned around from whatever you thought was your path in life

successful entrepreneur, a renowned motivational speaker, and a best-selling author.

But during this part of Ed's backstory, he was broke, he was in poor health, and he lacked confidence.
