From hustling to wild decisions, he reflects on how close he came to going down a path that could have changed his life forever. Nev opens up about growing up working in his family’s liquor store in a rough neighborhood. He saw a lot of the same things Kev experienced — drugs, fights, and the grind of street life — but chose a different path, one of observation instead of participation. We talk about: How environment shapes the choices we make The fine line between witnessing and living the street lifestyle Childhood stories that could’ve led to a very different future Why one decision can change everything This episode is about reflection, perspective, and the roads we didn’t take.
