Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a gritty redemption story with Brock McClelland, the Western Pennsylvania founder who went from opiate addiction and a rehab bed to building an 8-figure roofing and contracting company in under five years.

Brock breaks down the covenant with God that pulled him out of the trenches, how he turned a family gutted by overdose and chaos into McClellands Contracting & Roofing, and why he sold off a piece of the company to lock in an 8-figure partnership deal. He also unpacks His Plan My Grind, his new platform for men who've lost their alignment and need a way back.

If you think your past disqualifies you from building something real, this conversation says otherwise — and proves it.
