The Hot Seat w/ David Shands

I remember like it was yesterday how embarrassed I was. I cussed him out and hated him for decades. I hope he forgives me, I had no idea he was a prophet.

ho else has a story they can’t quite explain? I honestly can’t explain why God chose to reveal the truth of the Gospel to me or why He gave me a heart to serve Him. I could’ve easily been lost, chasing another path, serving another master. I could’ve still been a battle rapper, still caught up in an endless cycle of weed, liquor, and clubs every night.

But God stepped in. God changed my heart and took away desires that were leading me nowhere. I didn’t deserve it, and yet God did it anyway.

Your story could be the light someone else needs right now. Share it below, and let’s remind each other of the overwhelming power of God’s grace and the beauty of His purpose in our lives.

Waiting for someone to hand you an opportunity is like waiting for rain in a drought—you’ll die thirsty.

I’ve learned that opportunities aren’t given, they’re created. Stop waiting. Start working. Your future doesn’t have time for excuses.

What are you going to do in 2025 with all the gifts, talents and ideas you have inside of you?

HotSeekers Lets Get Real!

There’s something surreal about standing on a stage, looking out at a packed room of 600 hungry, determined entrepreneurs. No special guests. No flashy flyers. Just my partner @donniwiggins_ and I, talking to our community—the one it’s taken us over a decade to build.

This wasn’t just an event. It was the realization of years of late nights, doubts, and relentless faith. We didn’t just sell tickets to “My First Million.” We poured our lives into this moment, and the people in that room weren’t just attendees—they were family.

Each person there wasn’t just dreaming of success; they were planning to become the patriarch or matriarch their family needs. I could see it in their eyes. They weren’t there for inspiration—they were there for answers. Answers to questions they’ve been wrestling with: How do I build something that outlives me? How do I create a legacy?

And as I stood there, I couldn’t help but think about the journey to this point. I remembered the days we hustled with nothing but an idea. The moments we questioned if we were even qualified to teach anyone. The sleepless nights when we doubted if anyone would listen.

But we kept going. Year after year, we showed up for this community, long before anyone was watching. And to see that labor of love fill an Atlanta venue to the brim—with no gimmicks, just a belief in our people—was overwhelming.

I’ll never forget the energy in that room. The hunger. The hope. The feeling of legacy being born. That’s what this was about: helping entrepreneurs realize that they are capable of becoming the leaders their families will talk about for generations.

To those 600 individuals who showed up, who trusted us, and who are ready to build their first million—you are why we do this. You are the proof that everything we’ve been through has been worth it.

We didn’t just pack out a venue. We witnessed 600 lives being changed. And that’s a feeling I’ll carry with me forever.

Here’s to more rooms like this. More legacies. More impact. Because this is only the beginning.

Good, HeatSeekers! We have just three weeks left in December before we welcome the new year, 2025. Now is the time to stop thinking that it’s too late to start the business you’ve been dreaming about and to go after the future you truly want. A wise person once said that discipline is what shows up when talent takes a day off. So, my question for you today is: Are you ready to show up for yourself and take that first step toward your goals?

Today, I celebrate 40 incredible years of life. This milestone isn’t just about looking back—it’s about looking ahead with gratitude, strength, and an unshakable belief in what’s possible.

40 isn’t the end of something; it’s the prime of everything. It’s proof that every challenge, every win, every lesson brought me here—to a version of myself I’m proud of, and still improving.

To anyone out there chasing dreams: it’s never too late to grow, to begin again, or to go further than you thought possible. Here’s to showing up, leveling up, and making the next 40 even better than the first.

Let’s grow together. 🚀
