Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our strength is forged in the fires of adversity and through the darkness we emerge with wings of resilience ready to soar higher than ever before.

Today, my amazing guests and I will back and forth on several different topics, but one being how we create more power and capacity, the importance of getting clear what we want in our relationships,

and why the life you want, the marriage you want, and the family you want is also fueled and impacted by the business that you build.

Welcome to the Dad Edge Podcast. The Dad Edge Movement creates leaders of men, leaders of families, and leaders of communities. We will not only impact this generation of fathers, but the next generation as well.

The kids we are raising will have better chances and odds stacked in their favor because of the amazing example that their fathers emulated for them.

We are here to change the world. We are here to change relationships. We are here to positively disrupt this generation of fathers so no man goes to their grave with regrets.

We disrupt the drift of busyness and replace it with razor-focused intention, passion, purpose, and direction.

We are the Dad Edge, and we're here to change the game.

What's up, gentlemen? Welcome to the Dad Edge Podcast. I'm Larry Hagner, your host and founder of this podcast, Show and Movement.

Gentlemen, my goal after now eight years of doing this and almost 1100 interviews is I want to keep bringing you the conversations, the content, the strategy, and the skills to move the needle in your business, in your marriage, with your kids, your faith, your mindset, your emotional health, your physical health, your leadership skills.

All these things that are so important to us as men, husbands, and fathers, and today I've got a great guest for you and one that is not a stranger to adversity and his name is Sergio Nazaro.

In 2015, he found himself at rock bottom. He's going to share that story. He was struggling with PTSD, substance abuse, and making $24,000 a year while also being in debt, 12 grand and credit card debt.

Five years later, Sergio had changed his entire life around and found himself with even more and new interesting challenges, one of them being a husband and a father while running a $1 million business that he created.

Sergio is a performance coach whose mission is to lead entrepreneurs to have it all in their marriage, their business, and their life.

He's been currently married for two years to his wife Lizzie, and he's got a one-year-old son by the name of Luca.

I really enjoyed today's conversation for several different reasons. We talked about a lot of different things, but one in particular where Sergio had this incredible adverse moment in his seventh grade year of school where he became homeless with his parents.

Crazy story, but literally his first impact from a financial standpoint that would actually impact him for the rest of his life and how he views money.

So really fascinating story there. Also, he took the ACT and SAT nine times just to get into the Air Force Academy. That's how relentless he was to get into the Air Force Academy.

Graduated the program and was then deployed for seven months and unfortunately saw a lot of really hard dark things while he was in combat, which he's going to share in detail on this podcast.

But also how it impacted him after he came back from deployment and how he dealt with PTSD and how he had to literally reinvent himself rebuild all of his relationships around him.

How he truly found the work that made him come alive instead of just going for a nice cushy secure job in the government.

He literally has paved his way in business and has now been married for two years and has now a father and now helps other men do the exact same, but his message is extremely heartfelt, extremely impactful.
