June 30, 2026 What I Want My Boys to Remember About Me | Matthew Cook | Level Up + Live | 213
What happens when the career you thought you were destined for disappears overnight... and leads you to build something even bigger?

Matthew Cook never planned to become an entrepreneur. After being turned away from military service because of a medical condition and watching his law enforcement career change during COVID, he found himself asking one question that would change everything: "What is my purpose?"

Seven years later, he's the founder and CEO of Birdseye Surveillance, leading a fast-growing company that's protecting businesses, communities, and families while carrying the weight of employees, payroll, leadership, and fatherhood.

In this raw and inspiring conversation, Matthew opens up about the nights he questioned everything, the prayers that gave him direction, the terrifying leap from a guaranteed paycheck to chasing a dream, and the leadership lessons he learned the hard way. He shares why honesty became his greatest competitive advantage, how becoming a father transformed the way he leads, and why success means absolutely nothing if you fail at home.

If you're building a business, leading a team, chasing a dream, or simply trying to become a better spouse, parent, or leader, this episode will challenge the way you think about purpose, sacrifice, faith, and what truly matters.

Inside this episode:
• Why Matthew walked away from security to bet on himself
• The unseen pressure every entrepreneur carries
• Leadership lessons no one teaches you
• How faith shaped his biggest decisions
• What building a business taught him about being a husband and father
• The mindset that kept him moving when quitting seemed easier
• Why your character will always outlast your success

This isn't just another entrepreneurship story. It's a conversation about purpose, resilience, family, faith, and building a life that's worth more than the paycheck.

If this episode challenges or inspires you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's chasing something bigger. Your next level starts with one decision, and this conversation might be the one that changes everything.

June 23, 2026 Your Life Is a Reflection of Your Standards | Level Up + Live | 212
What if everything you've been chasing has never been the problem?
In this powerful episode of Level Up + Live, Sean Meyers reveals the hard truth that transformed his life as a business owner, husband, athlete, and leader: you don't rise to your goals, you fall to your standards.
From building an insurance agency and earning Million-Dollar Club and President's Club recognition to running at a pace he once thought was impossible, Sean shares why success wasn't created by wishful thinking or motivation. It came from raising the standards he was willing to live by every single day.
He opens up about the painful seasons of working 14-hour days, sacrificing relationships, battling stress, and believing burnout was simply part of entrepreneurship. Then everything changed. By refusing to tolerate poor habits, missed commitments, and reactive living, he discovered that small standards create massive transformations.
In this episode, Sean pulls back the curtain on the non-negotiable standards that shape his marriage, health, faith, leadership, and business. From weekly coffee dates with his wife and daily prayer to leadership accountability and intentional personal growth, he shares the practical habits that changed everything.
If you've been frustrated because your goals aren't becoming reality, this conversation might challenge everything you thought you knew about success. The breakthrough isn't another strategy, another book, or another productivity hack. It's raising the standard.
Because what you tolerate today becomes your reality tomorrow.
And the question every leader eventually has to answer is this: What standard have you lowered, and what would happen if you raised it starting today?
This episode will challenge entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, and anyone who is tired of settling for potential and ready to become the person their goals require.
Listen now and discover why the quality of your life will never consistently rise above the standard you accept.

June 16, 2026 I Was Ready to Sell My Business | Jeremy Laurence's Transformation Story | Level Up + Live | 211
Burned out. Ready to quit. One bad season away from selling everything.

That’s exactly where Jeremy Laurence found himself.

In this powerful Level Up + Live conversation, the owner of Air Woodlands reveals the truth behind the success nobody saw. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and watching stress spill into his marriage, family, and business, Jeremy admits he was ready to walk away from the company he spent years building.

But what happened next changed everything.

After stepping into a community of leaders and choosing growth over comfort, Jeremy experienced a transformation that reached far beyond business. From losing more than 35 pounds and rebuilding his health to developing leaders inside his company and rediscovering joy, Jeremy shares the breakthroughs that helped him go from surviving to leading with purpose.

He opens up about the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, the warning signs of burnout, the power of honest conversations, and why so many business owners wait until they're completely worn out before asking for help. He also shares the lessons that changed his marriage, strengthened his faith, improved his leadership, and helped his children see a better version of their father.

If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader who feels tired, stressed, frustrated, or secretly wondering if it's time to give up, this episode may be exactly what you need to hear.

From addiction recovery and near burnout to renewed purpose and stronger relationships, Jeremy's story proves that success isn't about working harder. It's about becoming the person you're capable of becoming.

The comeback nobody saw coming started with one decision.

And what Jeremy discovered might change the way you think about leadership forever.

June 09, 2026 You Don’t Need More Information, You Need a Better Environment | Level Up + Live 210
What if the reason you're stuck isn't a lack of motivation... but the room you're sitting in?

In this eye-opening episode of Level Up + Live, we uncover the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs, leaders, and high achievers never see coming: more information isn't the answer. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You've attended the conferences. So why does growth still feel so hard?

After spending years building a successful insurance agency while quietly neglecting his health, relationships, and spiritual life, Sean shares the powerful lesson that changed everything. The breakthrough wasn't another strategy, course, or motivational speech. It was a complete shift in environment.

Discover why the people around you, the conversations you engage in, and the rooms you spend time in are silently shaping your future every single day. Learn why motivation always fades, why isolation is more dangerous than most business owners realize, and how your current environment may be setting limits on your success without you even knowing it.

From mastermind groups and leadership meetings to fitness communities and intentional family rhythms, you'll hear real-world examples of how strategic environments can become the launchpad for extraordinary growth.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or frustrated despite working harder than ever, this episode may completely change the way you think about personal development.

The most dangerous environment isn't the worst one. It's the one you've become comfortable in.

Press play and discover why you don't rise to your goals; you fall to your environment.

Listen now and find out what may be holding you back from the next level of your life, business, leadership, marriage, health, and faith.

In this raw and powerful episode of Level Up + Live, Sean sits down with returning guest Michael Faust. What unfolds is the kind of conversation most business owners are too afraid to have publicly.
Twelve months ago, Michael was drowning in anxiety, reacting instead of leading, losing passion for the company he built, and silently carrying the pressure of managing a 40+ employee operation. Today? He’s rebuilding his life from the inside out.
This isn’t another “10X your business” fluff episode.
This is the real story behind what happens when a business owner finally admits:
“I can’t do this alone anymore.”
From panic attacks and burnout to discipline, accountability, leadership, health transformation, and personal growth, Michael opens up about the painful truths entrepreneurs hide behind success.
Inside this episode:

• Why successful leaders secretly feel isolated
• The dangerous cost of trying to “handle everything yourself”
• How poor health silently destroys businesses
• The mindset shift that changed Michael’s company culture
• Why accountability is the missing link for most entrepreneurs
• The brutal truth about ego, burnout, and leadership
• How Level Up + Live helped transform his marriage, mindset, business, and health
This episode feels less like a podcast and more like a late-night coffee shop conversation with two men telling the truth about what success actually costs.
If you’re exhausted…
If your business is growing but your peace is disappearing…
If you feel like nobody understands the pressure you carry…
This episode might hit harder than you expect.
One conversation could change everything.

May 05, 2026Why Successful Business Owners Still Feel Alone (And What Fixes It) | Level Up + Live | 205
Most business owners don’t struggle because they lack strategy…
They struggle because they’re doing it alone.
On paper, everything looks good:
The business is growing. Revenue is coming in. People see success.
But behind the scenes?
Pressure. Isolation. And no real space to talk about it.
In this episode, I break down:
Why high-performing business owners still feel stuck
How surface-level conversations are holding you back
Why motivation fades (and what actually creates growth)
The one thing that changed everything for me
This isn’t about more information.
It’s about environment.
If you’re a business owner or leader in Montgomery County and you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying it all alone… this episode is for you.
You don’t have to stay there.
If you’re looking for a room of driven business owners who challenge, support, and grow together, come check us out.

April 28, 2026Making Money but Going Broke: The Wake-Up Call Business Owners Avoid | Andrew Jimenez | 204
HE WAS MAKING MONEY… BUT LOSING SLEEP AT 3AM
The brutal truth most business owners avoid… until it catches up with them.
In this raw episode of Level Up + Live, we sit down with Andrew Jimenez, husband, father of three, and owner of Relentless Plumbing in Montgomery County, who went from staying busy with money coming in… to realizing he had no real control over his business.
On the outside, everything looked fine.
Jobs were getting done. Revenue was coming in.
But behind the scenes?
Sleepless nights.
Constant stress.
No clarity.
Andrew didn’t know his break-even.
Didn’t understand his cash flow.
Was making decisions based on instinct instead of data.
This episode pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening with many entrepreneurs who are stuck in the grind: working harder and making money but still feeling like they’re one bad month away from everything falling apart.
After stepping into Level Up + Live Level 2, Andrew faced a hard truth:
If he didn’t learn his numbers, nothing would truly change.
What followed was a complete shift in how he operates:
Knowing exactly what his business needs to generate every week
Planning ahead for slow seasons instead of reacting to them
Making smarter financial decisions in both business and personal life
Leading his team with intention and clarity
Replacing constant stress with confidence and direction
Andrew also shares the moment that forced him to take things seriously, realizing his growing family depended on more than just hard work. It required structure, discipline, and understanding the business at a deeper level.
We also tackle a question most business owners avoid:
What happens if you continue to ignore your numbers?
His answer is direct, frustration, burnout, and a business that ends up controlling you.
This conversation is not theory. It’s a real look at what happens when someone stops guessing and starts leading with clarity.
If you’re working hard but still feel stuck…
If you’re making money but don’t fully understand where it’s going…
If you know something needs to change but haven’t taken action…
This episode is for you.
If you’ve been looking for a room full of growth-minded business owners and leaders who are serious about leveling up in business and life, we’d love to have you join us as a guest.
