Summary
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.
