In the early 1980's, Greg Wier faced the same brutal crossroads every teenager does. Straight out of the trailer park, he had to choose between poverty or success. Adulthood did not arrive gently. It came with repossessions, utility shut-offs, trailer-lot rent, and stealing food just to eat. Crime, drugs, and drinking surrounded him, constantly pulling him away from responsibility and toward self-destruction, forcing a daily choice between going down the wrong path or stepping up to take care of his family. He chose marriage and family over carefree nights with friends. Armed with nothing but determination and an unshakable will to succeed, Greg did more than survive, he carved a path through dangerous situations and bold risks, rising all the way to the top.

This audiobook is a raw, unfiltered look at success, failure, and the dangerous detours that can derail progress if you are not paying attention. Greg does not sugarcoat a thing, a truth that has revealed just how sensitive some people can be. He shares how he nearly lost his life on three separate occasions at the hands of people he trusted most. These stories sound unbelievable, but they are real.

Beneath the hard exterior is a man with a heart of gold, willing to share real experiences with anyone determined to become someone or something more. A story of survival, grit, and relentless pursuit, this audiobook exposes a world where status and possessions define the game. It is a gripping and inspirational listen for anyone who wants to learn not only how to compete, but how to thrive. A true thriller of perseverance and triumph.
