Today's Dropping Bombs episode brings back Jose Anon, the Colorado Springs founder who took Around the Clock Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric from nothing to a projected $14M-$16M in its first year.

Jose breaks down how 21 of 24 employees followed him out of a collapsing company and why he launched with four rented trucks and 10,000 door hangers. He also reveals the "Your Wife Is Hot" billboard strategy and why he turned down a $40 million offer.

Jose has lost everything more than once, and he says that's why nothing rattles him now. If you're still waiting for the right moment to start, this episode takes that excuse away.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features my personal physician, Dr. David Boyd, a doctor with 20 years of experience who left the hospital system after C*VID and built Blind Spot Medical, a concierge practice for entrepreneurs and high performers.

Dr. Boyd breaks down the arterial plaque and aorta scans most people never get until it's too late. He also covers the sleep, stress, and marriage pattern that stalls founders at every income level, and why the peptide craze is the Wild West.

You can outwork almost anything except an artery you never checked. Find your blind spot before it finds you.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Lee Patterson, a Georgia investor whose family lost their childhood home. Twenty years later, he bought it back for $50K and gave it to his mother on Mother's Day. In between, he built a seven-figure rental portfolio using credit instead of cash.

Lee explains how he turns a three-bedroom house into a four-bedroom moneymaker, why he only buys in college towns, how a 1031 exchange keeps taxes off his sales, and why he's now buying property in Dubai.

You've heard every excuse for waiting. Lee had all of them and started anyway. After this episode, yours won't hold up.

No loans. No rich parents. Just a trade, relentless hustle, and 529 days sober. If you think a skilled trade has a ceiling, press play.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers an unfiltered sit-down with William Stern, the Cardiff founder who went from 24-year-old startup owner to funding over $2.5 billion in small business loans this year.

The conversation goes straight at the topics most podcasts avoid: where U.S. money to Israel really goes, whether Building 7 was a controlled demolition, and what happened to JFK. They also take on the moon landing, abortion, Islam, and the case for wiping out Congress and starting over.

Nothing is off limits, and no side gets a pass.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a true mud-to-multi-state success story with Phil Dudley, founder of Elite Builders, a family-owned contracting company now licensed across three states — built without a college degree, a mentor, or a safety net.

Phil breaks down how a broken home and the free lunch line shaped his hustle, how he went from the worst salesman on his team to the best, and why he built VERASKOPE, an AI-powered platform solving the tool chaos every contractor quietly struggles with.

If you've ever used your circumstances as an excuse, this episode removes it — and shows exactly what building something out of nothing really looks like.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers raw redemption with Curtis Riggleman — a former car thief who slept in stolen cars as a homeless teenager. He's now Director of Operations over nine dealerships for LFG Auto Group, one of Central California's largest automotive groups.

Curtis breaks down how growing up in chaos taught him to read people better than any sales manual ever could. He explains why today's impatient, social-media-driven customers actually make closing easier, and reveals the real difference between a stall tactic and a genuine objection. He also opens up about the 2008 crash that wiped out everything he'd built — and the six months it took on the sales floor to claw it all back.

A kid who slept in stolen cars now runs nine dealerships. Whatever your excuse is, it's not good enough anymore.
