In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham delivers a raw, no-excuses message about betting on yourself and refusing to settle. From crippling back pain and a broken healthcare system to the moments that lit a fire in his soul, JD lays out the path that took him from a corporate paycheck to building businesses that align with his purpose.
He shares the powerful influence of mentors like Mark Moss and Joe Brown, whose words pushed him to cut the lifeboats, walk away from the cubicle life, and pour everything into his own vision. This is a blueprint for anyone stuck in a job they hate—balancing the reality of providing for your family with the truth that comfort kills growth.
This isn’t about making a living.
It’s about building a life.
This podcast isn’t about comfort.
It’s about becoming dangerous for all the right reasons.
