168: This Homeless Drug Addict Became an 8-Figure Entrepreneur with Khalil Rafati - 8FE

This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.

In 2003, Khalil Rafati was living on the streets of Skid Row, battling cocaine and heroin addictions. Consumed by darkness and self-doubt, his only goal in life was to become famous and die.

Today, he’s the owner of SunLife Organics, a multiple 8-figure wellness empire with locations across the country. He’s an acclaimed author and a highly sought-after speaker. But how did he turn his life around so drastically? And what does it take to rebuild a life from the ground up? In this episode, Khalil shares the powerful lessons he’s learned from overcoming addiction and building a business rooted in purpose and service.
