Pastor Keion shares the moment he literally chose basketball over God — and how four hours later, a torn ACL changed the entire trajectory of his life. He opens up about starting a church in a laundromat at 16 with 17 members, nearly retiring six months ago due to burnout, and what it means to reach the top only to find out "ain't nothing up there." This episode will challenge you to stop studying other people's chapter 39 without reading chapters 1 through 3, identify your own patterns so you can stop starting over, and understand why impact must always come before income. Whether you're just beginning, stuck in survival mode, or already at the top questioning everything — this conversation is for you. Topics covered: finding your purpose, consistency and momentum, self-sabotage, faith vs. fear, the difference between stubbornness and endurance, and why it's never too late to start. 🔗 Not Your Typical Tour: notyourtypical.org Host…
