Coffeez with Joe Shalaby

Joe sits down with Anton Krecic, founder and CEO of Seven Weeks Coffee — the faith-based brand turning your morning ritual into a mission.

After learning that pregnancy centers receive little support despite being the front line for life, Anton started Seven Weeks Coffee with a radical model: donate 10% of every sale to pro-life clinics nationwide. In just two years, his startup has given over $600,000, funding ultrasounds, mentorship, and real help for women in crisis — all through a simple cup of coffee.

We talk faith, entrepreneurship, stewardship, and the courage to build a business around conviction. Anton’s story proves that purpose doesn’t have to cost profit — it can multiply it.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live your values through business, this episode will light your fire.

Stephen Scoggins went from sleeping in a borrowed car to building multiple 8-figure companies. But here's what most people don't tell you: he almost lost everything after the exit.

In this episode, Stephen reveals the framework that took him from broke to 8-figures—and then taught him how to actually KEEP the money, the health, and the sanity.

You'll discover:

✅ The exact mindset shift that separated him from other entrepreneurs (it's not motivation)

✅ How to scale without self-destructing (the "Lion & Lamb" principle)

✅ Why slowing down is your biggest competitive advantage in business

✅ The spiritual framework behind sustainable success (not just hype)

✅ How pride and ego tank deals—and how to spot it before it costs you millions

✅ The exit strategy nobody teaches: what to do AFTER you win

This is for founders, sales leaders, and entrepreneurs who are tired of the grind-at-all-costs mentality. Stephen breaks down how stillness, faith, and intentional leadership become your unfair advantage.

If you've built something but lost yourself in the process—or you're about to—this conversation will reset your entire approach.

In Ep 39, Joe sits down with Sugar Shane Mosley, one of the most electrifying fighters in boxing history—three-division world champion, Hall of Famer, and legend who’s faced everyone from De La Hoya and Mayweather to Pacquiao and Canelo.

From picking up gloves at 9 years old to becoming one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Shane opens up about what it really takes to win—mentally, physically, and spiritually. He talks about training his son Shane Mosley Jr. (now fighting for a world title), how discipline shaped his career, why modern boxing has gone soft, and how the fight game—and life—have changed over the decades.

This is more than a boxing interview. It’s a masterclass in mindset, fatherhood, and faith, from a man who’s lived every round of it.

In Ep 38, Joe sits down with Eddie Garcia (Founder & CEO) and Mark Dimas (President & Co-Founder) of Realty of America (ROA)—the fastest-growing brokerage in the nation, closing $2.5B and 7,000 homes in just 10 months.

From humble beginnings to national domination, Eddie and Mark break down how they built a real estate company that’s scaling 8x faster than eXp did in its early years—all without outside investors or debt. They share how faith, culture, and servant leadership became their growth engine, the importance of “belly-to-belly” relationship building in a digital world, and how they turned a dream into a national movement of over 2,300 agents across 17 states.

We talk legacy, leadership, culture, faith, and the future of real estate tech—plus how ROA plans to go public within 24 months with their own proprietary tech stack.

If you want to understand what it takes to build a billion-dollar company from pure grit, vision, and unity—this episode is a blueprint.

Joe sits down with Brendan Boyd, founder/CEO of Imperfect Action, to break down how entrepreneurs can turn a podcast into a profit center—without a giant audience. Brendan unpacks his Foundational Four (digital products, paid community, affiliate partners, VIP package), the Live Podcast model that converts on the spot, and how to build a podcast acquisition system (pod-closing) that brings in clients directly from the mic.

You’ll learn how to package your show like a media business (LLC, EIN, business banking, funding), why a VIP package turns free guests into paid ones, how a paid community gives your audience access they actually want, and why most shows die in the “podcast graveyard” (no offers, no CTAs, no plan). If you’ve been publishing without monetizing, this episode gives you the playbook to flip the switch.

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with entrepreneur and philanthropist Doran Andry—a man who went from six kids in a one-bedroom apartment… to making $1M in passive income by age 30.

Doran shares how mentors like Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins shaped his mindset, why success is more about who you become than what you achieve, and the power of designing your life with intention. He breaks down how to manage your state of mind, the role of visualization, and why fulfillment matters more than just money.

From billion-dollar distribution deals to building schools in Thailand, Doran’s story is proof that success leaves clues—and that imagination, discipline, and mentors can change your entire trajectory.

We talk mentorship, manifestation, biohacking for longevity, and why even after retiring at 47, he’s still dreaming bigger than ever.

This one’s packed with wisdom from a man who’s lived it all.

Rafa J. Conde walked away from a near–seven-figure Wall Street career to earn $38K as a rookie cop—and spend the next 18.5 years running narcotics, SWAT, and federal task-force ops. Why? A calling to serve, lead, and become the kind of man pressure can’t break.

In this episode, Rafa unpacks the identity shift from money/status to mission/service, the moments that harden—or humble—a man, and how those lessons forged Man of War, his global movement to build disciplined, purpose-driven men. We get into the “Warrior’s Hour” morning routine (4:30 AM, cold plunge, meditation, run/lift), leadership under fire, raising strong sons in soft times, and why discipline, faith, and a clear code beat hacks every day of the week.

Schea Cotton was a legend before social media—so dominant writers called him a “man-child.” By 15, he was the most feared high-school hooper in America… then he vanished from the headlines. In this raw conversation, Schea opens up about the real story: the pressure on prodigies, NCAA turmoil, undrafted heartbreak, a decade overseas, and the mental health battle that followed.

We get into faith, resilience, and why the middle of the story—where no one’s watching—decides your life. Schea breaks down today’s youth-sports machine (NIL, portals, vultures), the role parents play in building or breaking foundations, and the non-negotiables he coaches: discipline, humility, and accountability.

Now through his Academy of Ideas and the Manchild movement, he’s turning his experience into a blueprint for the next generation—so gifted kids become grounded adults. If you’ve ever carried expectations that felt heavier than your talent, this one will hit home.

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with husband-and-wife duo Ryron and Victoria Gracie—leaders in the legendary Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family.

We talk about what it’s really like to grow up Gracie, how jiu-jitsu goes beyond fighting into lessons about emotional control, patience, and resilience—and why those lessons carry into marriage, parenting, and everyday life.

Ryron opens up about the pressure (and freedom) of being a Gracie, while Victoria shares what it’s like to marry into a legacy—and how they balance tradition with growth in their own family. From the mats to marriage, from raising kids to running Gracie University, their story is as much about love and values as it is about martial arts.
