Ethan Kawelo

10 years ago exactly to this date my life changed forever, I hit rock bottom. I’ve never publicly talked about it because I was ashamed who I was but now I’m proud of who I am.

In 2014 I was pulled over in a different state, arrested and starring down the barrel of 2 felonies and years in prison.

Prior to my arrest the person I was had habits that if continued would have eventually left me dead or hopeless. I was drinking every single day mostly to the point of black out, smoking weed all day, and partaking in other activities that are better staying off social media….

I thought my life was over. When I was being arrested there was a moment where I was on the side of the road unattended by the police and I saw a big semi driving 70mph towards us. I made the decision I was going to jump in front of it and end my life… what a WEAK fucking mindset to have. But in a split second I thought about the pain it would bring to my Mom so I decided I’d rather be living as a pathetic loser than dead (I get really emotional reliving this moment).

**I had a lot more about my journey written but IG caption is limited on amount you can put.

10 years later I am married to my unbelievably amazing wife Marianne who I met on that very same sales floor (she couldn’t touch me with the sales though!! - we are both pretty competitive lol), we run 2 businesses together, own over 5M+ of single family/2 family real estate with a 6 figure passive income portfolio and completed 140+ wholesales/rehabs, and despite how cliche and cringe it sounds have achieved the title as “millionaire”

If you could see 10 years in the future would you be proud of the person you see?
The Ethan 10 years ago would cry and wouldn’t believe who he is today if he met the Ethan today

Time to hit the cold plunge, crush the day, and make sure the next 10 years are just as amazing 🫡✌🏼
