This episode pulls back the curtain on Dennis Stokes, co-founder of Initial Ascent, in a way you’ve never heard before. It’s not about how the company started (you can find that story elsewhere). This is about Dennis, himself, his upbringing, battles with pride, lessons learned through failure, and the relentless mindset that shaped him.
From dirt roads in rural Florida to Division I football fields and faith-fueled business ventures in Idaho, Dennis shares how a drive to never be outworked, paired with a growing walk with God, has guided every step of his journey.
If you're chasing purpose, fighting uphill battles, or trying to lead with faith in a chaotic world… this one’s for you.
In this episode, Dennis talks about:
Growing up ranching, hunting, and learning the value of hard work
Walking on to a Division I football team and earning his spot
Building two successful businesses through discipline and grit
Learning hard lessons about pride, humility, and leadership
How faith and reflection brought him closer to God and his purpose
The mindset that drives him to outwork, outlast, and out-believe
