Nic shares his journey, starting with his early years growing up in a single-parent household in South Florida. Despite the challenges, Nic's mother instilled a religious foundation in him and his siblings by taking them to various churches. However, she also had involvement in voodoo practices, which Nic later realized were not of God. After his mother's death, Nic and his siblings faced even more difficulties, including involvement with bad company. But through the intervention of his aunt and uncle, Nic began to see the hand of God guiding his life. In this part of the conversation, Nic shares his experiences of facing danger and adversity as a child, including being caught in a shooting and being held at gunpoint. These experiences led him to reflect on his life and start building positive habits, such as praying before meals. He also discusses the impact of a teacher who believed in him and wrote him a four-page letter while he was in a detention center.
