In this interview excerpt, the interviewee recounts a stark origin story that shaped his mission to empower high-earning entrepreneurs. He describes growing up in Kennebunkport, Maine—a wealthy New England community—while his family lived in extreme poverty, literally on a dirt road in an unfinished, drafty house. At age 15, his parents lost the home to foreclosure, exposing him early to the stark divide between the affluent "haves" of the town and his own "have-nots." This formative experience fuels his drive to help 7‑figure earners scale from zero to sixty, positioning his personal hardship as the catalyst for his coaching and empowerment work.

Well, let's talk first about your origin story. You've helped people that are making 7-figure incomes go from basically that, that 0 to 60. You've really just helped them change their lives. Where does your story start?
Well, it starts from very, very humble beginnings, shall we say. I grew up poor in a rich neighborhood. I grew up in this little town called Kennebunkport, Maine. which happens to be one of the wealthiest communities in New England. In fact, one of the wealthiest communities in the entire country. But my family was dirt poor, and I mean that literally because we lived at the bottom of a dirt road in a drafty, unfinished house that my parents ended up losing to foreclosure when I was just 15 years old. So from a very young age, I was painfully exposed to the gap, the chasm between the haves and the have-nots. The haves was everyone else in the community, and the have-nots was my family.
