Summary

Our situation is of our own creation. It’s easy looking back to see that the infidelity not only affected my personal life, it became a bigger distraction and altered how I showed up in the business world. One evening, everything came to a head in front of my apartment. Upon returning home from work, I see all four women standing there. This wasn’t a friendly gathering of long lost buddies. My untruthful ways had caught up to me. What ensued can only be described as one of the darkest moments in my life. Listen to find out why there’s always a way to find the light, you just have to be willing to listen.

Feelings cloud our vision.

And I bring all this up because I was having a conversation with an individual sometime in the

past two or three days.

1:11.6

I admittedly don't recall exactly when this conversation was.
