Left for Dead, Raised by Hustle: How to Win When Life Breaks You! Feat. Tiki Davis

From the Streets to the Boardroom: How Tiki Davis Turned Pain into Power

Some people get knocked down and never recover. Others get knocked down, rise up, and change the game. My brother Tiki Davis is one of the rare ones who took every single setback—poverty, injustice, incarceration—and turned it into the fuel that built his empire. And in this conversation, we go deep into the truth about what it really takes to rise when the odds are stacked against you.

Tiki’s story isn’t just about going from nothing to something—it’s about the man he had to become in the process. We talk about his early years in the roughest parts of West Texas, the moment he found himself behind bars, and the choice he made to rewrite his own future. He opens up about the mentors who poured into him, the faith that kept him moving, and the grit it took to rebuild a life from scratch when everyone counted him out.

What hits you when you hear Tiki speak is that this isn’t theory—this is lived experience. We talk about what it’s like to carry the weight of your past into every room, and how to turn that weight into the thing that makes you unshakable. Tiki shares the mindset shifts that helped him transform his identity, build multiple businesses, and become a force for change in his community.

If you’ve ever felt written off, if you’ve been told you’re too far gone, or if life has hit you harder than you think you can stand—this episode is proof that your story is not over. Tiki’s life is a reminder that pain is a classroom, faith is a compass, and resilience is a choice you get to make every single day.
