Fighting an uphill battle? Here’s what no one tells you

Fighting an uphill battle? Here’s what no one tells you

June 11, 2025

I had a conversation the other day that I can't shake.

A friend of mine, brilliant, relentless, heart fully in it, is building something big. He’s done the work. Made the sacrifices. Said no to comfort more times than he can count.

But now? He’s at the edge. Deals falling apart. Panic attacks creeping in. And the people he thought would be there? Silent.

He looked at me and said, “Eddie, why is it that when you need support the most, it’s just... quiet?”

And man, I felt that.

Because the truth is, this path, the one that leads to anything great, isn’t just steep. It’s lonely. It’s disorienting. It makes you question everything.

And if you’re not ready for that, you might take the silence personally. You might start thinking the pain means you’re off track.

But it doesn’t.

This is the part no one warns you about.

The grind isn’t just tiring, it messes with your head. You look around, and it feels like no one sees what you’re building. And honestly, most people don’t. Not yet.

Today’s video is about that moment. The stretch of the road where most people let go, not because they’re weak, but because they were never told this is what it would feel like.

It’s not a breakdown. It’s what it feels like to carry something the world hasn’t caught up to yet.

Keep going. You’re closer than you think.
