Steve Ek is a visionary entrepreneur, whose journey is a testament to resilience and determination. From humble beginnings on the Northwest side of Chicago, Steve faced the kinds of significant challenges, like growing up in a tumultuous household and battling addiction at a young age, that drag many people down to sorrowful depths and never let them go. Despite his life's hardships, Steve found a mentor who showed him what was possible and instilled in him the foundational discipline he lives by today.

Steve owns a thriving auto repair business that pays well, yet he's still committed to pushing his income to new heights through the power of mindset, strategic investments, and surrounding himself with positive and highly influential people. Steve's approach to coaching others is deeply personal and hands-on, ensuring that his clients not only achieve their business goals, but also find fulfillment and purpose.

Our conversation got off to a wonderful start when I simply asked Steve how he was doing. I'm Damon Davis, and this is my discovery diary with the unapologetically confident Steve Ek.
