Wendell Sommers built a $15 million real estate development business in the early 2000s… and then lost it all in the 2008 economic crash.

In this week’s Nic and Jet Fuel Podcast, Wendell shares his raw, unfiltered story of losing everything, facing multiple failed ventures, and pushing through years of setbacks most people would never recover from.

His journey is a masterclass in grit, resilience, and the power of refusing to quit — no matter how far you fall.

🚀 Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone fighting to bounce back from your own failures, this is an episode you’ll feel in your bones.

📌 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to mentally survive massive financial loss
• Why multiple failures can be the stepping stones to your biggest win
• The role perseverance plays when everyone else gives up
• How Wendell turned devastation into the greatest success of his career

🎧 Listen, get inspired, and remember: failure isn’t the end — it’s just the turning point.

In Part 2 of this wild breakdown, Jayme goes even deeper into the chaos of recovering the stolen Beach Weekend rental boat from Cuba—this time sharing everything that really happened after the cameras stopped rolling.

From the nonstop back-and-forth with U.S. authorities to prove ownership… to making a pitch-black crossing of the Gulf Stream in the middle of the night… this is the untold conclusion to the Cuba mission.

You’ll hear the full behind-the-scenes insanity that never made it into the documentary—including mistakes, miracles, and a few things that we can't believe happened.
