Left for Dead, Raised by Hustle: How to Win When Life Breaks You! Feat. Tiki Davis

What if you could turn your challenges into your biggest strengths? Today, I’m sitting down with Drew Davis, a young entrepreneur who took a high school project and transformed it into an extraordinary business success. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and told his idea for Crippling Hot Sauce was “unrealistic,” Drew didn’t just overcome obstacles—he obliterated them. At 19, he’s sold over 250,000 bottles, built a thriving business from scratch, and is donating part of his profits to cerebral palsy research. This isn’t just about business; it’s about resilience, grit, and the power of believing in yourself when no one else does. Drew shares the fascinating story of how he started with nothing but $3,000 of birthday money and an idea. Despite having no business experience and being told by his teacher that the concept wouldn’t work, Drew’s determination to prove them wrong fueled his success. We talk about the early days—mixing sauces in his family’s kitchen, selling out his first batch in 30 minutes, and how a local newspaper story ignited the growth of Crippling Hot Sauce. In this conversation, we unpack the strategies Drew used to scale his company, from branding to leveraging organic and paid social media. His insight into building a brand with heart—donating 5% of profits to cerebral palsy research—shows how a powerful mission can elevate a business. Drew is proof that no matter your age or your challenges, you can achieve greatness when you’re willing to put in the work and believe in your vision. Drew’s humility and humor shine throughout the episode. He talks about how his parents always treated him like anyone else and how this mindset helped shape his confidence. He also explains how he uses humor as a tool to handle adversity and stay grounded. His journey is a masterclass in not letting circumstances define you but using them as fuel to rise above and inspire others. Key Takeaways: How Drew turned a school project into a quarter-million-dollar business. The importance of branding and storytelling in creating a memorable product. Why giving back can be a strategic move for building a brand. How to use failure as a stepping stone for growth. The value of resilience and believing in your vision, no matter the odds. This episode is more than just a success story—it’s a blueprint for overcoming adversity and building something meaningful. Drew Davis is a living example that nothing can stop you when you decide to push past your limitations. Prepare to walk away motivated and ready to chase your dreams with everything you’ve got.

What if I told you the key to changing your life is changing the meaning you attach to it? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most critical skills you can master to truly transform your life—attaching meaning to the events that happen to you. It’s not what happens that defines us, it’s how we frame it. The meaning you attach to the successes, failures, and everything in between, shapes your entire reality. This isn’t just a mindset shift; it’s how you reclaim control over your life. Think about the events in your life—trauma, missed opportunities, or even victories. What meaning have you attached to them? Have those meanings served you, or have they held you back? It’s time to take back the narrative. In today’s episode, I share personal stories, including how my dad reframed my losses in sports and taught me how to look for the good even in failure. That practice of finding the right meaning has been the key to much of my success. I’m also challenging you to reflect on how you’re framing meaning for others—your kids, your team, or even your spouse. Are you planting seeds of belief, or are you unintentionally teaching them to settle? Leaders and parents, the invisible ways you frame the world for others can have lifelong effects. It’s time to take this seriously. In moments of pressure, like making a crucial business decision or performing under stress, the meaning you attach to that moment determines how you perform. Attach the right meaning, and you reduce pressure. Attach the wrong one, and the weight can crush you. I coach top athletes and high performers on this, and today I’m giving you the same strategies. If you only take one thing from this episode, let it be this: Your obsessions become your possessions. What you focus on and how you frame it will determine what you manifest in your life. If you want better results, it’s time to start attaching better meanings. Key takeaways: How to reframe failure and setbacks into valuable lessons The importance of framing meaning for the people you lead How to reduce pressure by attaching the right meaning to high-stakes moments Questions to ask yourself to reframe events so they serve you Why your worldview and self-belief dictate what the world gives you This episode is about taking control of the stories you tell yourself and others. By mastering how you attach meaning to life’s events, you’ll unlock the power to shape your future, reduce stress, and lead with intention, whether in your business, family, or personal growth.
