520: From His Mom's Floor to $7M in Year One Rosaki Hilt

Rosaki Hilt lost his AI company, his apartment, his car, and had to move his wife and kids onto his mom's floor. He grew up in foster care and had avoided door-to-door sales for 10 years because he thought it was the lowest rung on the ladder. Then he found a job on Indeed. He almost didn't show up. William Turner bought him a plane ticket. Rosaki missed the flight. Turner bought him a second ticket anyway. Rosaki told him if he did, he'd become his number one guy. One year later, he was CEO of Turner Abrams Fiber with $7 million in revenue and 60 reps. In this episode, Sam sits down with Rosaki to break down: The moment he knew he had to lower his ego and get a job Why the owner took a chance on him after he no-showed How he went from rep to CEO in one year The "walk in straight lines" mentality that kept him locked in Why he still sleeps on the floor sometimes to stay grounded The Dragon Ball Z analogy about compressing your restart time Building D2D Dashboard to solve the pay transparency problem Balancing 6 kids, two businesses, and high school leadership workshops Connect with Rosaki @rosakihilt on Instagram Thank you for listening!
