In this episode, Zack talks about a powerful realization: the struggles we often wish away might be our greatest unfair advantage. Drawing from personal experience and inspired by stories like David Goggins’, he explores how growing up with instability, scarcity, or setbacks can actually fuel extraordinary drive.
He reflects on his own journey, from feeling behind in life due to his upbringing to recognizing how that hunger became the very thing that pushed him forward. Whether it’s having no financial safety net or feeling like you’re at a disadvantage, this episode flips the narrative on adversity and reframes it as a superpower.
If you’ve ever looked at your past and thought, “This is why I can’t make it,” this episode will help you see that maybe, just maybe, it’s the reason you will.
