Wendell Sommers built a $15 million real estate development business in the early 2000s… and then lost it all in the 2008 economic crash.
In this week’s Nic and Jet Fuel Podcast, Wendell shares his raw, unfiltered story of losing everything, facing multiple failed ventures, and pushing through years of setbacks most people would never recover from.
His journey is a masterclass in grit, resilience, and the power of refusing to quit — no matter how far you fall.
