Connor Hassoun built his own conference at 23 years old and turned his keynote into FORGE, an acronym for Faith, Obsession, Resilience, Gratitude, and Endurance. On this episode of The Drive, Craig sits down with Connor to unpack that talk piece by piece and dig into what it actually takes to build something from nothing.

They cover stories that stick with you: a brother training basketball drills alone in the snow at midnight, the true story behind Lone Survivor, a 1,000 pushup challenge on top of a 14,000 foot mountain, and a conversation with his son that changed how he defines "the greatest day of your life." It's a real conversation about faith, purpose, obsession, and what separates the people who finish from the people who just start. Subscribe to The Drive for more.

Craig Harvey breaks down his P.A.T.H. framework, passion, attitude, teamwork, honor, using stories from raising his son, building a company from scratch, and watching Jack Nicklaus visualize a Masters win before it happened. He gets real about controlling your own attitude instead of blaming everyone else for it, and why the people around you either build you up or quietly drain you dry.

Then it gets personal: the story of Alfred Nobel reading his own obituary while still alive, realizing the world saw him as a merchant of death, and rebuilding his entire legacy from there. This episode is about the path you're actually on versus the one you think you're on, and what it takes to close that gap.

Craig Harvey built one of the largest final expense insurance brokerages in the country, and for his 50th birthday, he finally gets grilled about how he did it. His business partner Jordan flips the script and puts him in the hot seat, digging into the trailer parks, the broken bones on the football field, and the week he got fired and had almost nothing left. From there it's a straight line to a company doing nine figures a year, told with zero filter.

Harvey doesn't hold back on what it actually took. He breaks down why he'd rather hire someone hungry and broke than someone comfortable, why trust can't be taught no matter how badly you want it, and how he turned public criticism into fuel instead of letting it get in his head. Then it gets real: he talks about the money he made and the family time he can't get back, and what he's actually afraid of after building an empire and surviving every setback along the way.

This isn't a polished highlight reel. It's a raw, unfiltered conversation between two guys who've been through it all together, with real talk on leadership, regret, and what it costs to build something this big.
