In this fiery season finale, we put Connor Holway—aka Mr. Golden Deer, the Irish Hercules, and Wrangler of the Snake Pit—through the ultimate test. Recording in a sweltering room with no A/C, we had him sweating, but that didn’t stop him from sharing his incredible and inspiring journey.
Connor talks about how he conquered Boston, achieving everything he set out to do, from making a name for himself to producing his first movie. Once he reached the top, he realized there was nothing left for him there. So, he packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles with nothing but his hustle, drive, and a dream. That dream? Creating "Conrad: The Last Defender", an epic dragon movie featuring a hometown hero he had always admired.
We dive deep into Connor’s personal struggles, especially his biggest vice—women. He opens up about how a tough relationship caused emotional trauma, but it wasn’t just that. A series of events hit him all at once, reopening old wounds and leaving him broken. In the midst of it all, Connor met with a hypnotist who helped him shift his perspective. Instead of focusing on the negatives, Connor learned to see the positives and realign himself with the right path. This clarity made him realize that he needed to stay focused on his goals, and that life’s toughest moments often give you the greatest perspective.
Throughout the episode, Connor reflects on the unwavering support of his family and close friends, who believed in him when things were tough. He also opens up about the sacrifices he made, investing everything he earned into his film, and the challenges of putting it all on the line to make his vision come to life.
Tune in to hear how Connor’s relentless drive took him from ruling Boston to chasing his dreams in L.A., proving that with heart, grit, and belief, anything is possible.
