👶 FACT: Only 2% of teen dads earn a college degree before 30.
Lucas? He’s making sure he’s not a part of that stat.
At 19, he’s repeating his senior year.
Working nights. Raising a 3-month-old.
Running on 2 hours of sleep and sheer willpower.
But he made one decision most wouldn’t:
He stayed. He showed up. He chose to be the father he never had.
When life handed Lucas chaos, he built structure.
He dropped the party crowd. Sat in the front row. Stocked shelves by night and studied by day. He didn’t have a plan—but he made one.
📍This episode is for anyone facing something you didn’t ask for.
No roadmap. No handouts. Just grit, love, and one choice at a time.
Hard isn’t hopeless. And cycles can be broken—one bottle, one class, one decision at a time.
🎧 Listen in. Because second chances aren’t always given.
Sometimes, you build them yourself.
