In this episode of the Rebuild and Rise Show, I share a powerful lesson I learned from John Maxwell at the Life Surge event in Newark, NJ — and how it completely shifted my perspective on failure.

We often talk about return on investment, but have you ever thought about your return on failure? I break down the difference between a good miss and a bad miss, why excuses keep you stuck, and how keeping your successes close to your failures keeps you humble and grounded.

I open up about my personal journey to sobriety, the hard truth about the excuses that were holding me back, and the exact moment I decided enough was enough. I also share how embracing challenges, building uphill habits, and taking full accountability have transformed my life, my business, and my relationships.

You’ll learn how to identify whether a failure is a good miss or a bad miss, and why your excuses might be the biggest obstacle between you and your goals. I talk about the mindset shift that helped me rebuild my life from the ground up, and why having uphill hopes means you need to match them with uphill habits. And I’ll remind you why you’ll never “accidentally” reach the top of the mountain — you have to climb your way there, step by step.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by setbacks, struggled with excuses, or wondered how to turn your failures into fuel for your future, this episode is for you.

I promise — you can rise from anything. Let’s talk about how.
