From Rock Bottom to Building Provoe University: My Journey of Resilience

A man sitting alone in a dimly lit room, surrounded by scattered papers, a broken guitar, and a dusty microphone. Light streams in through a window, symbolizing hope.
A journey of resilience begins in the shadows, guided by hope and determination.

Eight years of losing streaks in soccer betting, binary options, and the forex market left me buried under debt, riddled with self-doubt, and cut off from friends, family, fans, and loved ones (the people who once mattered most). At 37, with no visible success to celebrate and no visits from family for years, I found myself single, isolated, and barely recognizable as the musician, writer, and multimedia creative I once was.


I have been forgotten,” a voice whispered in my head.


Lonely, demotivated, and surrounded by stubborn circumstances, I had two choices: surrender or rebuild. Inspired by one of Earl Nightingale's podcasts, I chose the latter, adopting a simple yet powerful framework:

  1. Organize goals in order of priority.

  2. Start where you are, using what you have.

  3. Pour your best effort into each task, one at a time.


This method gave me the clarity to focus on rebuilding myself step by step, gaining momentum with every small success.

A dreamlike vision board with interconnected pathways leading to goals like blogging, podcasting, books, and retreats, radiating from a glowing central hub labeled 'Provoe Planet.
The roadmap to Provoe Planet: Paths of creativity and self-mastery.

The Provoe Planet Vision: Steps to Fulfillment

To realign my life and realize my vision for community building and a self-mastery platform, I outlined these goals:

  • Blogging and Podcasting

  • Book Writing and Course Launches

  • YouTube Vlog Series

  • Provoe Planet Memberships, Seminars, and Webinars

  • Music, Film, Documentaries, and Theatre

  • Touring (Book Signings, Performances, and Speaking Engagements)

  • Retreats (Meet-and-Greets)

But first, I needed to tackle immediate hurdles: clearing my debt, updating my wardrobe, and replacing faulty studio equipment that had pressured me into over-fixating on forex trading.

Blogging: Finding My Voice

Eight years ago, I launched my first blog, Eatfiles.blogspot.com. It became a testing ground for my ideas, allowing me to hone my writing and storytelling skills.

Through essays, articles, and tales, I found my voice. I practiced vulnerability, authenticity, and creative expression without the pressure of perfection. Blogging became an outlet to declutter my mind, organize my thoughts, and prepare for larger platforms like Provoeplanet.com.


Writing gave me clarity and helped me stay grounded during tough times. For me, blogging became both a creative outlet and a lifeline.

Podcasting: Stories I Never Told

On my 35th birthday, I launched "Stories I Never Told," a podcast for sharing random musings, interviews, and reflections. It became a way to connect with my audience on a deeper level, offering memories, lessons, and anecdotes with courage and vulnerability.


The podcast serves as a source of regular YouTube content while also journaling my life’s journey, one story at a time.


Books and Courses: Teaching Through Experience

Writing has always been my refuge. From my first poetry collection at age 14 to releasing Knowing Self at 31, writing has guided me through every challenge, shaping my thoughts and mindset along the way.


Through Provoe University, I share these lessons in books and courses designed to help others achieve personal growth. These resources break down complex ideas into simple steps, helping people grow more self-aware and achieve self-mastery.

YouTube Vlog Series: Documenting the Journey

My audience has shown a growing interest in the behind-the-scenes process of my work. This inspired the creation of VE Clips and Blogs on YouTube, an inspirational vlog series capturing my day-to-day life as a multimedia creative. These videos combine spontaneity, humor, and authenticity, offering a glimpse into my creative process.


Building the Provoe Planet Community

Provoe Planet is more than just a brand. It’s a community. By subscribing to newsletters, joining forums, and participating in seminars, members become part of a network of dreamers and doers. Together, we support one another’s growth, ignite creativity, and pursue self-mastery.


The Journey Continues

This blog marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the pursuit of purpose. I write not only to organize my thoughts but also to inspire others to embrace their journeys of becoming.


My name is Virgil Provoe Enesha, and this is my story. Welcome to Provoe University.
