Nobody Is Self-Made: Eric Will Hunt on Resilience, Maintenance, and Breaking the Cycle | EP 39

Описание: This conversation isn’t about motivation.
It’s about what actually builds resilience.

In Episode 39 of The Roots of Ambition, we sit down with Eric Will Hunt, a multifamily maintenance leader whose life experience shaped a mindset you can’t fake.

Eric opens up about:
Growing up around chaos, addiction, and instability
Watching resilience modeled in real time — not on Instagram
Why “self-made” is a myth
What apartment maintenance teaches you about people, pressure, and leadership
How trauma can either break you or sharpen you
The most misunderstood part of maintenance work
Loyalty, fatherhood, emotional discipline, and choosing the hard path
This episode is raw, honest, funny, and grounded in real life — not highlight reels.

If you’ve ever felt like:

You had to grow up fast
Your job doesn’t get the respect it deserves
Motivation wears off but responsibility doesn’t
You’re trying to break a cycle for your kids

This conversation is for you.
