From Country Music Dreams to Business Collapse & Redemption | Raw Minds Podcast S2 Ep. 35

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Raw Minds, Erick and Anthony welcome Daniel Gallagher—podcast host of Gallagher’s Grip, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. Daniel opens up about losing everything, walking through the darkest moments of his life, and how he clawed his way back with grit, purpose, and honesty.

This episode dives deep into:

• Daniel’s early music career and wild Nashville days
• Building a multi-state construction company—and watching it collapse overnight
• The brutal truth about business debt, lawsuits, depression, and hitting rock bottom
• The night Daniel nearly ended his life—and the moment his son’s eyes saved him
• Rebuilding from nothing and the real power of never quitting
• Why we need to talk more about men’s mental health, suicide, fatherhood, and divorce
• Raw stories from all three men on fatherhood, resilience, entrepreneurship, addiction, and purpose

Note: This episode is as real as it gets. No filters. No scripts. Just three men talking about what most are afraid to say out loud.
