Jack Delosa built a $50M company by 27, lost it all to government regulation changes, accumulated $5M in survival debt - then came back stronger than ever.

In this raw conversation, Australia's most followed business coach shares the brutal reality of scaling, the psychology of success, and why he'll never sell The Entourage despite multiple exit opportunities.
Jack reveals his exact strategy for turning around $5M in debt, why "good times scare the shit out of him," the hiring framework that scales culture from 20 to 40+ employees, and why businesses grow MORE during hard times than easy times. Learn the psychology of the top 1% and their relationship with difficulty, plus the constraint-to-constraint framework for 8-figure scaling.
This episode goes places most business podcasts don't - raw, real, and packed with actionable insights from someone who's been through hell and came back stronger.
