Key Highlights
Experiencing trauma or a loss comes with an influx of energy. “If you’re not intentional about using that energy and using that circumstance to actually harness it and move it in a direction intentionally, you’re drifting,” Mike says. “You’re just being moved in a direction by another force other than your self-determinism. Being intentional keeps you out of evil, out of destruction, and into something that can build success.”
Mike and Chase talk about what it feels like to “wake up”, recognize your traumas, and start working to reach your potential.

Powerful Quotes by Mike “C-Roc” Ciorrocco
If you have a mission in life, you take everything that comes your way that would stop or slow you down, and instead of storing it in your trunk where most people keep their stuff… instead of that, I store it in my tank, my fuel tank, and convert it into rocket fuel and I just go faster and faster and become unstoppable.
My decision is my mission and my commitment to my mission. Their decision is whether to be a part of it or not.
