Summary
Bill welcomes Michael Tandoi — host of the Built from Chaos Podcast and one of the wildest comeback stories you’ll ever hear. Michael opens up about how a kid from a strong, close-knit family spiraled into the brutal world of crack cocaine, violence, prison, relapse, and chaos. From being shot multiple times while sitting in his car… to serving 7 years in state prison… to attempting to smuggle contraband behind bars — Michael doesn’t hold anything back. But this episode isn’t just about destruction… it’s about redemption. Michael talks about the role Faith, Jesus, discipline, and purpose played in rebuilding his life from the ground up. Today, he owns a highly successful paving company, wrote the book The Man I Was Destined to Be, and lives life BIG — including recording episodes of Built from Chaos from his yacht. Bill and Michael go deep on addiction, identity, ego, survival, prison mentality, second chances, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the people who completely blow up their lives end up understanding life better than the rest of us. Raw, inspiring, chaotic, funny, spiritual, and very Billified. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/billified-the-bill-moran-podcast--5738193/support .
