Hi, I’m Devin Ramos, and welcome to Diehard Entrepreneur Stories—a podcast built for entrepreneurs who won’t settle, who fight through the tough times, and know there’s something extraordinary inside, waiting to be unleashed. 💪 On this podcast, I have the privilege of interviewing countless entrepreneurs, and witnessing the relentless grit it takes to succeed. I sit down with those who’ve been in the trenches, faced setbacks, and came out the other side. Together we extract the lessons that can help you do the same. I started this podcast to share the raw, unfiltered stories and lessons learned of entrepreneurs who faced challenges and still came out on top.
You’ll hear from incredible entrepreneurs 👩🏻💼👨🏻💼 like a blind and deaf entrepreneur who survived a devastating explosion in the military then went on to build a successful confectionary business 💼. You’ll hear stories from six-figure earners who quit their corporate jobs to chase their passion in real estate 🏡 and then gained time freedom. These are just a couple inspiring stories you’ll hear of entrepreneurs breaking boundaries and overcoming life-altering events. I created this podcast to share the raw, unfiltered stories of these entrepreneurs who faced challenges and still came out on top.
I believe every one of us carries a purpose deep inside, even if we're not sure how to pursue it or what it looks like. Together, we’ll awaken that purpose inside you, learn how to cultivate it 🌱, and share stories and lessons learned of those that’ve proved anything is possible when you refuse to quit.
Success isn’t handed to anyone. It’s earned through work.
⚡️Tune in to Diehard Entrepreneur Stories and discover how others have turned hard work into legacy.
I’m on a MISSION to help entrepreneurs create IMPACT.
