What if your greatest pain held the blueprint for your most powerful purpose?

In this unforgettable conversation, Steve sits down with Mike Asher, the unapologetically authentic founder of Hounds of Business. From growing up dirt poor in Kentucky to navigating gut-wrenching setbacks with a family to support, Mike shares how he transformed rock bottom into redemptive momentum. You’ll hear the raw story of a man who couldn’t fit the sales mold, found himself broke three Christmases ago, and yet somehow ended up building one of the most heartfelt, high-impact business communities online.

Mike is more than a guest—he's a mirror. A reminder that you’re not alone, that connection beats perfection, and that business can be built with grit, grace, and a servant’s heart. He takes us through his rise, not as a polished entrepreneur, but as a real person who dared to show up in camo, lead with vulnerability, and create legacy through transformation.
