One man's journey of growing up in poverty in a family of alcoholics/drug addicts. Fueled by his own alcoholism and drug addiction, he got caught up in the throes of the juvenile judicial system from the age of fourteen, went to prison at the age of seventeen for stealing, and came out of prison at age eighteen, still struggling with his own addictions and demons. He began working as a laborer in the construction industry shortly after his release and later earned his building contractor's license from the State of Florida. As he became aware of his addictions, he struggled with sobriety. He eventually built a successful business all while achieving his goals, finding sobriety later in his life and becoming a millionaire by age fifty-eight.
