In this episode of The Spinoso Podcast, I break down the five rules my dad taught me growing up. Not theory. Not feel-good advice. Real rules that shaped how I lead my family, my team, and a multi-state medical organization.

We talk loyalty as a code, not a concept. Why disagreements belong behind closed doors. Why there are no fair fights in business, only fights won or lost. Why grit, suffering, and struggle early in life are not disadvantages but prerequisites for long-term success. And why complaining, venting online, or looking for external validation is one of the fastest ways to lose respect, leverage, and momentum.

This episode is old-school, direct, and unapologetic. If you are a founder, leader, or entrepreneur who wants to build something real and keep it standing when things get hard, these are the rules you need to hear.
