Pushing Through When Everything Falls Apart

In this solo episode, Zack Anderson shares one of the most challenging moments of his sales career—a story of relentless perseverance, crushing setbacks, and the ultimate reward of sticking to a goal no matter the obstacles. What started as a simple number target in door-to-door sales turned into a grueling test of commitment, discipline, and mental toughness.

You’ll hear how a streak of success was abruptly shattered, how loneliness and frustration almost won, and why Zack refused to quit despite overwhelming reasons to walk away. This isn’t just a sales story—it’s a masterclass in overcoming adversity, building emotional resilience, and keeping promises to yourself even when no one is watching.

If you’ve ever felt like quitting when life hit you hard, this episode will remind you that the struggle is where strength is forged—and that the payoff isn’t just the win, but the person you become in the process.
