"I'm not doing this for the applause. I'm doing this because I'm running a race against a past that I refuse to let catch up to me." In this deeply personal bonus episode, Craig Eubanks steps away from the "Fence Guy" persona to share the raw, unedited history of the man behind the microphone . This isn't a highlight reel of business wins; it's a frontline report from a lifelong war against the cycle of struggle . What You'll Hear in This Episode: The East Side Roots: Craig revisits the reality of growing up in the Indianapolis "hood," where checking the light switch was a daily gamble and a cockroach in a backpack was a lasting scar of embarrassment . The Ghost of the Bleachers: Discover why Craig is so obsessed with showing up for his kids today, rooted in the years he spent playing sports to empty stands while his parents worked to keep the water running . The Law Enforcement Mirror: Craig reflects on his time as a correctional officer, standing on the right side of the bars and looking into the eyes of childhood friends who didn't make it out—a constant reminder that he is the outlier Building the Perimeter: Learn how Eubanks Fencing became more than just a company; it became a literal and metaphorical fence designed to protect his family from the chaos of his past The Outlier's Tax: A candid look at the cost of growth, dealing with the "narcissist" labels from those who don't understand the drive, and why being average is a price Craig refuses to pay . This episode is for the "4 to 7 percent"—the ones fighting to ensure the struggle ends with them . It's a story of grit, calculated strikes against poverty, and the relentless pursuit of being a "good human" "The cycle stops with me." 🤝 Thank You to Our Sponsors: 🔥 Brand Builders - https://www.gobrandbuilders.com 🔥…
