Our StoryYou Already Know You Were Made For MoreThis Is The Story Of What Happens When You Finally Decide To Believe It
Maybe you know what it feels like to look at your life and know — deep in your bones — that this isn't what you were built for. That somewhere between the bills, the grind, and the quiet disappointment of playing small, the vision you once had for your life got buried. Maybe you've tried programs, watched the videos, read the books — and you're still here, still searching, still feeling like the breakthrough is just out of reach.
I know that feeling. I lived inside of it. And what I'm about to share with you is the story of what happened when I decided I was done living there.
From living in a rusted-out green 1996 Dodge Caravan that I used to park at different beaches every night in Oahu, Hawaii to traveling the world impacting others and living the life of my dreams, my story is filled with ups, downs and all kinds of amazing experiences in between.
That moment began a new kind of journey for me — and it can begin one for you.
My journey showed up on the internet with an explosion that seemed to come out of nowhere in 2009 when I was broke, homeless and living in a van. One night I was parked near Honolulu beach and fast asleep when I heard a loud thumping on my window and a voice that said "Wake up! This is the police."
Grudgingly I awoke out of a sleep to see a cop pointing a flashlight in my eyes. At the time, I had lost my job at GreenPeace and Hawaii was in the middle of a recession. I was broke and homeless, eating canned beans and showering on public beaches. At that moment, the cop wrote me a ticket for the last $45 I had in my bank account (as you are not allowed to sleep in a car in Hawaii between the hours of 10pm and 6am) and financially and emotionally I hit rock bottom.
This is one of those moments when I reached down inside myself, and I found something that I didn't know that I had inside and I decided that my life had to change. I didn't have a plan. I didn't have a mentor. I didn't have connections or capital or a single reason to believe anything would work. But I made a decision — the kind of decision that rewrites everything that comes after it. I got online, and in a half-jest I did a Google search asking "How can a homeless van-man make money online" and then I ran into another homeless man who was making $3,000 online and traveling from town to town working out of Starbucks coffee shops.
Enter the era of the internet...
That was the night everything shifted. Not because my circumstances changed — but because I changed.
Sometimes in life, you have to reach down inside yourself and find something that you didn't know that you had if you want to create a new life and manifest the vision that you're looking for. Not more information. Not another strategy. Not another course that sits in your inbox unopened. Something deeper — the part of you that was built to win, that's been waiting for you to stop asking for permission and start moving.
I don't know what happened to me that day, all I know is that I decided enough was enough, and from that moment, everything in my life was going to change. I decided that no matter what the obstacles were, I was going to build a new life and create a new destiny for me and my family. I decided that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and that I deserved to create something great in my life, and become a person of prosperity and power. That day, I decided that my transformation was not waiting another day, that it was happening right now. I decided that from this moment on, life was going to be different, and that if another homeless van man could get online and make $3,000 monthly, that I was going to do whatever it took to build a new destiny for myself and also for my family.
Maybe you're in a place right now where you need to make that same decision. Where something has to change and you know it. If you are — I want you to know that the decision itself is the most powerful thing you'll ever do. Everything else flows from it.
Have you ever been in a place in your life when you knew that you had to make a new decision? That you were going to change everything about your life and no matter what it took you were going to make something new happen? Sometimes in life, there are moments where everything shifts for us... where a spark lights up on the inside and a new vision forms... where everything that we do begins to take on new meaning and a new direction begins to form in front of us that opens up new opportunities, new relationships, new ideas and new vision. Sometimes there are moments that manifest into our lives where life becomes new because we become new. This was one of those moments for me.
Maybe you're having one of those moments right now, even as you're reading this sentence. Maybe you've been carrying the weight of knowing you're meant for more — but nothing you've tried has gotten you there. Maybe you've invested in programs that promised the world and delivered a PDF. Maybe you've been told to "just believe in yourself" by people who have no idea what it's actually like to build something from nothing.
If that's you, I want you to keep reading. Because what happened next in my story is the part that changes everything — not just for me, but for the people I now help every single day.
It was my turnto become someone great
I decided that I was going to make money right now, that it was my turn to become someone great. So I found a community, aligned with some mentors, formed alliances, and found products to sell. From that moment on I went on a 90 day sprint, where I did whatever it takes, whenever it took to do it, with all of my heart and mind.
I made videos, wrote blog posts, created new social media accounts, and learned how to build value based sales funnels that sold for me on autopilot, whether I was working or sleeping. The success seemed to come slowly at first. My first month, I believe I earned one single commission check for $7.50... but the important thing is that I didn't give up. I realigned my strategy, went through some critical training, found some mentors, and doubled back down to work.
Here's what most people never talk about when they tell their success story: the system was already working. That $7.50 commission meant the funnel was converting. The audience was finding me. The process was in motion. I just hadn't given it enough time or enough fuel yet. And that's the part that stops most people — not that the system doesn't work, but that they quit before the compound effect kicks in.
The important thing is that I didn't give up. And the important thing for you is that you don't give up either.

I realigned my strategy, went through some critical training, found some mentors, and doubled back down to work.
And then it started to happen. The commissions started compounding. The funnels were converting at higher and higher rates. The audience kept growing. What started with $7.50 in a van eventually turned into teams that I built generating over 9 figures in sales. I mentored more than 15 people who became millionaires. I reached audiences in over 150 countries. The homeless van-man from Honolulu had built something that most people said was impossible.
But I want to be honest with you — because if this story is going to mean anything for your life, you need to hear the next part too.
That moment began a new kind of journey for me. A journey of unimaginable success at a young age, toppling 9 figures in sales through teams that I built, followed by a divorce, the birth of my son Gabriel, and a tragic crash that led me to having everything that I had worked for so long to build stripped from me in a devastating experience that brought me back to lower than where I had started... but in that same moment of dark tragedy, I experienced a rebirthing of my spirit that led me to a new kind of vision about what is possible for me and also for others.
While I don't have time to tell that entire story in this short article, I simply have come to believe that unimaginable levels of transformation are possible for the individual who decides that they are going to believe in themselves enough to do whatever it takes to create a new life.
I share this with you not to impress you, but because I need you to understand something: I am not special. I didn't have advantages. I didn't have a safety net. I had a van, a ticket, and a decision. What carried me through every chapter of this story — the rise, the fall, and the rebirth — was not talent or luck. It was the same thing that's inside of you right now, reading this page. The same spark. The same knowing that you were made for more.
Whatever your vision is in your life you can make a decision right now that you are going to step into the future that has always awaited you. That decision led me from a van in Honolulu to the other side of everything I feared — and that same decision is what brought you to this page right now. Trust it.
i AM Transformation!
After a colossal rise to power, wealth, and fame, I went through an equally colossal collapse. A collapse where my old world seemed to cave in around me and everything that I cared about in my old way of life disintegrated before my eyes. While the world collapsed, a great pressure formed on me that challenged everything about who I thought I was. Then one day there was a moment where I thought that I could not handle anymore. I thought that if I lost one more relationship, or had another belief challenged that I wouldn't be able to survive. My world came crashing down, and everything about myself, my identity, and who I thought I am was broken to pieces and destroyed.
It was in this moment that something happened that I cannot describe, where my old self died and a new self was born... where I realized what it truly means to reach down inside yourself, and embrace the fear that is inside, to become a new and unified human being.
And in this place of utter hopelessness and despair, a new vision birthed inside of me as every idea I had about myself and the world fell away and melded into a new and unified self, and I realized that everything that I always had been looking for was inside me this entire time, and that everything that had happened to me in my life where I believed that I was a victim I had caused, and that everything that I ever wanted to experience in my life I already was---and it was in this realization that I discovered the truth, that I am not looking to simply create transformation in the world, I discovered that...
That realization is why I AM Transformation exists. Not as another personal development company selling motivation. Not as another guru asking you to believe harder. But as a system — built from everything I learned on the way up, everything I survived on the way down, and everything I discovered when I came out the other side.
I built this for the person who is tired of being told to "just think positive." For the entrepreneur who knows they're capable of more but can't figure out why it isn't happening yet. For the person sitting where I sat — broke, or stuck, or burned out, or quietly desperate — who is ready to make the decision that changes everything.
I AM Transformation gives you what I wish I'd had: a proven system for building a business online, real mentorship from people who have actually done it, a community of people who are on the same path, and — most importantly — the inner transformation tools that unlock the power you already carry inside.
I'm not here to fix you. You're not broken. I'm here because I've walked this path from rock bottom to the other side — twice — and I know the way through. And I believe you're ready to walk it.
