The Kid Who Once Dreamed
The Bad Kid
I was labeled early. The "bad kid" in school. Struggling with untreated ADHD in a world that just told me to "figure it out." Those labels followed me into adulthood — into addiction, into drinking, into smoking, into a decade at a job that burned me out from the inside.
The Breaking Point
Two years ago, I looked at my daughters and realized who I was becoming. The cycle had to stop. I put down the bottle. Quit smoking. Quit everything that was keeping me stuck. Not because it was easy — because I had to become the man, partner, and father they deserved.
The Leap
After a decade of mental burnout, I made the massive decision to bet on myself. I left the career. Cashed out my 401k. Started painting my own canvas. The kid who loved graffiti, drawing, colors — he was still in there. Waiting.
The Rebirth
Now I channel everything into my art and my systems. I discovered how to use AI not as a chatbot, but as a leverage engine. I wrote a book in one session. I built brands. I became clear-minded with goals, dreams, and a vision. That kid full of life and creativity is back.
