But behind the business deals and luxury lifestyle was a story shaped by pressure, loyalty, setbacks and sacrifice. Kevin speaks honestly about sleeping rough, taking jobs that didn’t feel right, raising millions in funding, and the emotional weight that comes when business and personal relationships become intertwined. He shares stories of travelling the world, building close bonds that became like family, navigating high-stakes negotiations, and learning how quickly trust can be tested when serious money is involved.</p><br><p>He also reflects on the friendships and mentors that changed his life, the moments that nearly broke him, and the mentality it took to keep moving forward when everything was uncertain. From teenage fundraising events and humble beginnings to the pressure of scaling major projects and chasing global opportunities, it’s a raw look at ambition, resilience, brotherhood and what it really costs to build something from nothing.</p><br><p>This is the eventful life of <strong>Kevin Viles.</strong></p><br><p><em>All Enquiries</em> - <a href="mailto:Hello@DodgeWoodall.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hello@DodgeWoodall.com</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://dodgewoodall.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DodgeWoodall.com</a></p><br><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DodgeWoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dodgerwoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dodge.woodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Dodge.Woodall</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dodgewoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DodgeWoodall</a></p><p>LinkedIn:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dodgewoodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
