The Matt King Show E226: From Homeless to Extraordinary Success with Rob Rowsell
From being homeless, living on the streets, and being in jail more than he was out of it, Rob Rowsell stumbled into rehab and, by the grace of God, recovered from his addiction to alcohol, crystal meth, and cocaine. Once he got sober, things changed.
Rob went from buying an auto repair shop with zero money out of pocket and growing his business to five shops, and eventually realizing his $10-million exit plan. Rob is now a successful entrepreneur, investor, and author of the book, ADDICTED TO LIFE! How I Went from Homeless to Extraordinary Success and Happiness in a Short Period of Time.

Notable quotes from the Episode:
"We can only handle so much. If God somehow revealed to us everything we needed to know to get from A to Z, we wouldn't even begin the journey. So I just began the process."
“The law of exposure says that you are what you hang around. Whatever you hang around, you will become."
"For any change to happen in your life, you've got to be done with the old life, the old behavior, the old habits – so bad, that the pain to change is less than the pain to remain the same."
"You can't outgive God."
