At 17, I almost got shot.
Not because I was in the streets.
Not because I was gang affiliated.
Because I stayed at a woman’s house longer than I should have.
Her little sister pulled a gun.
And I remember thinking:
“All of this… over chasing a woman?”
That wasn’t even the worst story.
At 19, I dated a murderer who breathed chaos.
Fights. Killing. Danger.
I ignored every red flag because I didn’t want to be alone.
At 20, another woman smashed my car window.
She nearly derailed my focus and business.
The pattern wasn’t random.
I was chasing.
Not leading.
Every time I prioritized women over purpose, chaos followed.
In September 2025 I snapped.
I said to myself…
“I refuse to live like this.”
That decision rebuilt my identity.
And in today’s video I just dropped, I break down 5 situations that show exactly how chasing women damaged my life.
It’s raw.
It’s long.
It’s honest.
If you’re a high-performing man and you know deep down you’ve entertained the wrong women…
Learn from my scars.
So you don’t earn your own.
