Summary
This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Top Tier Solar Solutions LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ This episode delivers a gut-punch redemption story with Vincent Torres, a sales leader who spent years cycling through addiction, arrests, and a 325-pound rock bottom before rebuilding himself from nothing. Vincent breaks down his path from Brooklyn street life, gang ties, and heroin addiction to losing everything — then simultaneously getting clean and dropping over 110 pounds in 18 months.
