DAILYdEPOSITS Podcast 001
Summary
In our very first episode of the DAILYdEPOSITS Podcast, I sat down with my close friend to unpack the real-life process of transformation—one deposit at a time.
We talk about what “daily deposits” really means: showing up consistently, growing bit by bit, and choosing small, intentional actions that lead to big changes. From sobriety to fatherhood to falling back in love with the barber craft, this episode is packed with raw stories, laughter, and lessons we’ve learned the hard way.
I share the story of giving up alcohol and how journaling, reflection, and accountability helped me stay on the path. We also get into the grind of building a barber career from the ground up—everything from $12 cuts in crowded shops to dreams of Hollywood film sets.
Whether you’re navigating your own journey, feeling stuck in the loop, or chasing a passion others don’t quite understand yet—this one’s for you.

- My sobriety journey and what finally made it stick

Quote That Hit:
“If you’re depositing, but you’re also spending… you’re gonna end up broke. You gotta add in more positives than the negatives you carry.”
