  From No Job and Rent Due to Becoming a Business Funding Expert | Alex Barajas | Victortheinspiration

  Aug 19, 202645 min

  In today’s episode, I sit down with Alex Barajas, who shares how his early life, his father’s entrepreneurial resilience, and his own search for freedom shaped the work he does today. Alex was born in Mexico, came to the United States as a child, grew up in California, and watched his father lose everything during the recession — including a season where the family had no running water, no electricity, and survived on beans and tortillas. Instead of quitting, his father rebuilt, and that planted the seed of entrepreneurship in his life. Alex explains why credit is more than a number, why business funding requires discipline, why borrowed money should never be treated as free money, and how financial literacy can help people create options for their future. He also opens up about working as a recruiter and realizing that many people were returning to the workforce past retirement age because they never built something they controlled for themselves.

  She Turned Childhood Trauma into Chasing the Big Screen | Promise Aureila | Victortheinspiration

  Aug 12, 202634 min

  In today’s episode, I sit down with Promise Aureila, who grew up moving through adoption, foster care, group homes, changing schools, emotional abuse, abandonment, and childhood trauma. Instead of allowing that past to silence her, she began writing the characters and cinematic worlds that helped her imagine a different future. Promise shares how she began acting, studied the business of the entertainment industry, took acting classes, and eventually booked her first short film. When opportunities did not immediately arrive, she decided not to wait for permission. She began writing her own stories.

  She Became a Surgeon and Singer Songwriter with 24 Million Streams | JeLa | Victortheinspiration

  Jul 29, 20261h 2m

  In today’s episode, I sit down with Jessica Lattman (JeLa), who is both a surgeon and an artist, using her hands to help heal the body and her voice to help heal the unseen wounds people carry deep within. Beyond the operating room and recording studio, she is a devoted wife, a mother of three, and a survivor of childhood emotional abuse. In this deeply vulnerable conversation, JeLa opens up about the complicated intersection of trauma, therapy, family, medicine, music, and the courageous work of reclaiming a life once shaped by pain. She reflects on growing up in an emotionally abusive and isolating home where she often felt unseen, unheard, and disconnected from the love every child deserves. She talks about what led her to make the life changing decision to separate from her parents and also shares how therapy helped her rebuild who she is, how the love of her husband and children became an essential part of her healing journey, and how her desire to become a doctor may have been deeply connected to the wounds she carried from childhood. Through medicine, motherhood, and music, JeLa has discovered that healing others can sometimes begin with finally learning how to heal yourself.

  Hayden Bowles: The Power of Taking the Unconventional Path | Victortheinspiration

  Jul 15, 202635 min

  In today’s episode, I sit down with Hayden Bowles, who shares his journey from being a high school dropout to becoming an entrepreneur, investor, content creator, and e-commerce business owner. Hayden opens up about starting young, mowing lawns as a kid, discovering online business, building through Shopify and e-commerce, moving to California at 17, investing in real estate, and learning how to stay consistent through pressure, failure, and uncertainty. This conversation goes beyond money and business. Hayden talks about losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, sacrificing his personal life for success, learning how to control his perspective, surrounding himself with the right people, and building a life around discipline, freedom, and personal growth. His story is a powerful reminder that the unconventional path is not always easy, but with consistency, self-belief, and the right mindset, failure can become training for you.

My book, Become the Victor: Turning Trials into Triumph, tells my personal journey and offers guidance for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward. It is a reminder that “your greatest tests will become your greatest testimony.” Get My Book: https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/book-links/book-links Connect with Me: https://www.instagram.com/victortheinspiration/ My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Victortheinspiration My Life with SMA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXeepRh23LFqpR6iOdsaVjgYaeRX5u_eP The people I serve are usually in a quiet battle. They’re the ones trying to keep moving forward while carrying something heavy — mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. From the outside they look fine, but internally they’re questioning their direction, their confidence, or even their worth. Many feel behind in life, misunderstood, or unsure if they still have time to become who they thought they would be. My audience isn’t just one demographic — it is a shared experience. Some live with disabilities, some are navigating grief, anxiety, or burnout, and others are simply at a crossroads where the life they planned no longer matches the life they’re living. They’re not looking for hype or surface-level motivation. They’re looking for understanding… and proof that transformation is possible. So, Become the Victor exists for the person who feels stuck, but doesn’t want to stay there. They listen because they want to hear real conversations — not perfect stories about how someone has gone through uncertainty and came out wiser. The goal is that when the episode ends, they don’t just feel inspired… they feel capable of taking one step forward in their own life.
