Meet Raul Velasquez

From Losing It All to Leading Thousands of Men Toward Purpose

This week, I sat down with Raul Velasquez, mindset coach, author of The King’s Code, and founder of the Edge 100 Challenge. What started as a mastermind to raise capital turned into a movement that’s helped over 1,000 high-achieving men rebuild their lives and sharpen their purpose.

In this episode, Raul opens up about his darkest moments, the real reason men struggle—even after they find success—and how he helps them rediscover the fire they’ve lost.

How Raul Lost Everything—and Rebuilt with Purpose

In 2008, Raul had it all: a thriving real estate business, a hundred employees, and what looked like a perfect life. Then the crash hit. He lost his assets, his house, and almost his marriage. That moment of reckoning when he had to tell his wife they were broke led to a pivotal realization: success without purpose is empty.

He rebuilt his business. Made even more money. But something still felt off.

That pain eventually led to the creation of his mastermind experience. Not to make more money but to help other men avoid the silent suffering he went through.

What Most Men Don’t Talk About

Raul coaches millionaires, CEOs, and even billionaires. But the problems are often the same:

• Feeling like they’re not good enough

• Trying to prove something to a parent or the past

• Losing their edge, their drive, or their confidence

• Trying to fill a void with money, distractions, or validation

His work helps men reclaim their edge that fire that used to wake them up hungry to build.
