In this powerful episode of the GITT UP Podcast, host Adam Larkin sits down with entrepreneur Paul Williams to talk about what it really means to build, lose, and rebuild—in business, in faith, and in purpose.

Paul began working for his father’s painting company at just 16 years old, stepped into leadership by 20, and purchased the family business outright at 26. From there, his entrepreneurial journey expanded into home improvements, recycling, restaurant ownership, real estate investing, and recovery services, proving that resilience and vision can carry you through every season of life.

But this story goes deeper than business.

After the loss of his father—an ordained minister who struggled with alcoholism—Paul’s mission shifted toward impact. Today, he is the founder of Still Waters Counseling and Recovery Resources and is actively launching a nonprofit dedicated to helping the homeless and people starting over in life.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The mindset required to lead a business at a young age

• Lessons learned from failed ventures and hard seasons

• How faith and family legacy shape entrepreneurial purpose

• Why recovery work and entrepreneurship share the same principles

• What it truly means to rebuild your life while building something that serves others

If you are an entrepreneur, leader, person in recovery, or someone fighting to start over, this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and remind you that failure is never final.
