And everybody, welcome to Impact TV.

Our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that will help you actually execute on your dreams.

Today's guest is one of the most fascinating rags to riches stories I have ever heard.

He was born in the third-world abuse in Texas. His father was abusive, alcoholic drug dealer,

who was murdered when he was just 12 years old.

And by the time he was a teenager, he was breaking into cars and houses and his criminal activities continued to escalate until he was sentenced to 12 years in a French prison for drugs muggling.

Fortunately, he only ended up serving two and a half years of his sentence and recognizing immediately he'd been given a second chance, he cleaned up his act and threw himself into his passion for music.

After a chance encounter with the actor and hip-hop artist, Luder Chris, he signed a half million dollar deal with DTP records.

And suddenly he was writing hit songs for major artists such as Two Chains and dating American Idol winner Jordan Sparks.

But it all happened way too fast.

He was playing the part of the famous rock star, but secretly he was living out of his car and drowning in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt.

For more than two years, he lived in his car until one day he hit rock bottom.

And knowing he had to make a drastic change, he quit the record label, changed the group of people he was hanging out with and went to work on his mindset.

He read the power of positive thinking 282 times took total responsibility for his life and began focusing on value creation.

And from that, he was able to build multiple six figure businesses going from massively in debt to the 1% and establishing himself as one of the premier motivational speakers on the planet.

So please help me in welcoming the man who was invited to speak in nearly 30 countries last year.

The author of the upcoming book Change Your Mindset Change Your Life, Garen Jones.

That was one hell of an entrance.

Dude, that's one hell of a life.

So it is insane to me where you started, where you've gone and where you've ended up now.

And what I really want to start with is how do you leverage rock bottom?

Because most people hit it and that's just where they stay.
