I own the Azure Coast, a boutique luxury hotel carved into the Florida panhandle shoreline, built brick by brick from a version of myself that had nothing left to lose and everything to prove. I did not inherit it, I did not marry into it, and I did not receive a sympathy investment from a family friend with generational wealth; I clawed it out of humiliation, debt, and the kind of betrayal that rewires your bloodstream.
