657: Finding Gratitude in Your Hardest Moments: Powerful Lessons from a Challenging Year

NOV 24, 202525 MIN

Description

Some years lift you up. Others stretch you, test you, and force you to grow in ways you didn't expect.

And 2025? It was the kind of year that does all three.

In this powerful episode, Ted shares an honest reflection on what worked, what failed, what hurt, and what ultimately made him stronger in 2025. From the explosive start to the year, to the sudden collapse in social media traction, to a $20,000 mistake, and finally to rebuilding the business with clarity and intention—Ted opens the curtain on the real journey behind the scenes.

You'll hear how losing momentum in his main acquisition channel forced him to confront blind spots, rethink his strategies, and rebuild the foundations of his business. You'll learn why the right coach matters, how the wrong partnership can derail months of progress, and how returning to his true strengths—podcasting, connection, and speaking—brought his mission back into alignment.

This episode is a reminder that growth doesn't come from the easy seasons. It comes from the messy chapters, the setbacks, and the moments when you're forced to evolve.

You'll learn:

  • Why your hardest years often become your most transformative

  • What happens when you rely too heavily on one platform for leads

  • How to evaluate coaches and business mentors with a clear mind

  • Why setbacks often point you back to your true strengths

  • The mindset shift needed to navigate chaos without losing direction

If 2025 tested you too, you're not alone. Let this episode help you see your challenges through a lens of gratitude—and step into 2026 with renewed clarity and purpose.
