Welcome to the first official post on Digital-Growth-Group.com.
This website marks the beginning of a unified vision, a stronger direction, and a new season of growth. It ties my books, blog, podcast, and future course together under one identity:
Digital Growth Group LLC.
This is where everything connects.
This is where the foundation becomes visible.
And this is where the journey continues.
My Story
For more than 35 years, my life was defined by kitchens. I rose through every position all the way to General Manager in fine dining. I trained teams, rebuilt processes, and took pride in helping restaurants grow.
Then, one chapter at a time, the life I knew changed:
First came cancer.
Then, I lost my father.
Then I lost the career I spent a lifetime building.
Then I moved to Arkansas, trying to rebuild.
And then the motorcycle accident turned recovery into survival.
I haven’t worked in more than 2.5 years.
Surgery to remove my leg is now scheduled for December 1st.
And for a long time, I didn’t know what direction my life would take.
Faith Made the Path Clear
During the hardest part of all of this, I prayed for direction.
I asked God for purpose.
For provision.
For a future.
3 months ago, I felt led to build something new from home — something digital, something scalable, something that could take root while I recovered.
And then, two days ago, after more than two years of waiting…
I received approval for disability.
Right before surgery.
Right when I needed it most.
Not too early.
Not too late.
Perfect timing.
God’s timing.
Provision, not dependency.
Support, not stagnation.
A foundation — not a finish line.
My First 3 Months Building Online
Here’s what has been built so far:
- Digital Growth Group LLC
- EIN + business bank account
- 7 books published or in KDP review
- A unified brand direction
- Affiliate partnerships (Amazon + Awin)
- A Shopify storefront in development
- Weekly structured workflow
- A growing social presence across 3 platforms
- And now… a podcast
Podcast Episode #1 launched Friday at 4 AM Eastern.
Podcast Episode #2 launched this morning at 4 AM Eastern.
Every episode is preparation for the 2026 course launch, video trainings, and teaching from experience — not theory.
This is practice in public.
Why This Website Exists
To document the journey.
To teach as I learn.
To provide value.
To build community.
To show faith through action.
To create a future I’m proud of.
This is the foundation.
Weekly Monday Posts
Each Monday evening, I’ll share:
- wins

This will not be filtered perfection.
This is real growth in real time.

Final Thought
If there is one thing I’ve learned this year, it’s this:
Faith doesn’t remove the hard moments…
but it reveals the timing, the doors, and the strength to step through them.
Disability approval arrived exactly when it needed to.
Not early.
Not late.
Provision before surgery.
Purpose in the process.
Thank you for being here at the beginning.
The best chapters are still ahead.
