  • Colorado's Economy Is Collapsing: A CEO's Plan To Fight Back

    Is Colorado's pro-business reputation a myth? According to new data, the state has plummeted to 48th out of 50 in private-sector job creation, and net migration has dropped by over 52%. While our quality of life remains high, the economic policies from the state capitol are creating massive headwinds for business owners and entrepreneurs.


    In this critical conversation, we sit down with Johnna Reeder Kleymeyer, the powerhouse President & CEO of the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC. As an economic development expert who moved to Colorado just four years ago, Jonna brings an outsider's perspective armed with undeniable data. She breaks down exactly why the state is failing its businesses and reveals her bold new plan to unite Southern Colorado and fight back for pro-business policies.

  • The Founder Turning Down 9 Buyout Offers A Week: The Real Reason He’ll Never Sell

    What would you do if you received 9 offers a week to sell your life's work? Trent Urban, the founder of Wirenut Home Solutions, faces this reality every day. In a world where private equity is buying up local businesses, Trent is holding the line. But his reason for never selling isn't about the money, it's about a promise he made to his father and a legacy he's building for his son.


    From launching his company directly into the 2008 recession to building an unforgettable brand with a "win-win-win" philosophy, this is a raw conversation about grit, family, and the principles that build a business that lasts for generations. Later in the episode, we're joined by Trent's son, Gavin Urban, who offers a unique perspective on growing up in the business and taking on the marketing mantle for a new era.


    This episode is a masterclass for any entrepreneur who has ever questioned whether to cash out or double down on their values.

  • How His 80-Year-Old Family Business Beat The 97% Failure Rate

    97% of all family businesses are destined to fail by the fourth generation. It's a brutal statistic that has wiped out countless legacies.

    So how has Perkins Motors, an 80-year-old car dealership, defied the odds to become a Colorado institution?

    In this deep-dive conversation, fourth-generation owner David Perkins reveals the raw, unfiltered story of surviving multiple near-disasters, from a sudden death with no succession plan to a transition he calls the "poster child for how NOT to do it." David breaks down the playbook he used to navigate the collapse of traditional marketing, fend off giant corporate competitors, and find a secret advantage in the biggest economic crisis of our lifetime.

    This isn't just a story about selling cars—it's a masterclass in resilience, succession planning, and building a business that can truly last for a century.

  • I Had No Father, So I Made My Work My Identity. It Almost Killed Me.

    What happens when the one thing you've built your entire identity around collapses? For founder and designer Taylor Draper, that collapse wasn't just a business failure, it was a life-threatening crisis that pushed him to the brink of suicide. Growing up without a father, Taylor programmed himself to believe that his worth was directly tied to his achievements, a dangerous mindset that led him to build a successful brand but a fragile sense of self.


    In this raw and deeply vulnerable conversation, Taylor Draper, the founder of the men's mental health movement Inherent Self, reveals the inside story of how losing a $20 million investment deal forced him to confront the lie he had been living. This is a story about the dangerous link between a man's work and his worth, and the difficult journey to find who you are when everything you've built is taken away.

    This episode is a masterclass in resilience as Abbie shares the unseen battle with public criticism, the "ugly truth" about the online hate she receives, and the emotional fortitude required to stay composed when everyone is watching. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be on TV, this is a conversation you cannot miss.

  • He Got A $26,000 Bill, So He Built A Company To Destroy The System

    A single anxiety attack shouldn't cost $26,000. For most people, a bill that size is a story of financial ruin. For Travis Bockenstedt, it was a declaration of war. This is the incredible story of how one man transformed his personal trauma with the broken healthcare system into a revolutionary business model that is saving patients money and doctors from burnout.


    From a poor farming family in a town of 900 people, Travis channeled his anger into innovation, co-founding Pinnacle Advanced Primary Care, one of the fastest-growing Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics in the country. He's proving that by removing the insurance middleman, you can provide better, more affordable healthcare for everyone. This episode is a masterclass in turning a personal grievance into a powerful purpose-driven enterprise.

  • A Pastor's Warning To All Men: Your Shame Is Destroying You | Craig Glass

    In one of our most vulnerable conversations yet, Craig Glass, a former Bible smuggler behind the Iron Curtain, sits down to share the raw truth about shame, masculinity, and the generational wounds that are silently destroying men.

    Craig’s journey began with a childhood accident involving a pitchfork and his younger brother, a secret he buried under a lie for over 30 years. That single moment of shame shaped his life and led him on a mission to help men confront the darkness they hide from the world. Today, he reveals how to break free from the patterns of fear, anger, and isolation that are passed down from father to son.

    This isn't just a conversation; it's an intervention for any man who has ever asked himself, "Do I have what it takes?"
