Some people spend their whole lives chasing success… and pushing it away at the same time. Not because they’re lazy. But because deep down, they believe they don’t deserve it. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the hidden beliefs that quietly sabotage your money, momentum, and motivation.

What do Microsoft, birthday party magic tricks, and Trump-style marketing have in common? Jack Turk. In this episode, we unpack his wild journey from writing tech manuals for Age of Empires to becoming a magician and then head copywriter at GKIC. We dive into why Trump’s media playbook works, what most marketers get wrong about messaging, and why speed still beats perfection. Whether you love or hate the guy, there’s a lot to learn, and Jack breaks it down with sharp insight and zero fluff.

Ever heard the advice “act like your future self”? Sounds smart… but is it actually useful? In this episode, I unpack what that really means, when it helps, when it totally backfires, and how to use it without losing touch with the present. Let’s talk about goals, growth, and the weird non-linear path to success.

Some people chase a dream. Others run from a nightmare. In this episode, I share the vision that pushes me out of bed at 5 a.m, why I’m okay sacrificing deals for football practice, and the uncomfortable truth that drives almost everything I do, both as a founder and a father.

In this episode of The ListBuilding Lifestyle, I’m joined by Keala Kanae, former full-stack marketer behind a $20M/year biz opp empire, who walked away from it all after realizing something wild: His most successful students weren’t just doing the tactics…They were doing the inner work. 

We dig into: Why do your goals keep losing to your values? The real reason discipline fails you and How to unlock insane clarity, drive, and follow-through without hustle or hype? 

I also share a personal story about back pain, football, and how aligning with your values makes hard things effortless. This episode hits deep, hit play and unlock your Power Code.

What if the success you chased for years... is the very thing that throws you off track? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a trap nobody warns you about, the hidden downside of “making it.” From the moment the money and time show up, so do the distractions, the bad calls, and the pressure to chase every shiny thing. I’ll break down the “winner’s curse,” how it ruins smart businesses, and what I’ve done to stay sharp and keep growing while others burn out.

Some people stay busy for years and never move. Others get clear on what they want, and everything shifts. In this episode, I share how one guy went from chasing five things at once to building 20 income streams, why hustle without direction leads nowhere and how emotional fuel beats willpower every time.

Ever feel like you’re posting non-stop but no one’s buying? In this episode, I sit down with Garin Etcheberry, founder of Lazy Longform and Sixty Second Shows, to dismantle the idea that going viral equals getting paid.

We dive into why viral content kills trust, how to build binge-worthy media that sells, and how to create content that fuels your list, not just your ego. Garin shares wild behind-the-scenes stories from working with Mike Dillard and James Altucher, to helping a Miss Olympia open up about body image.

If you’re ready to stop chasing likes and start building a brand that converts, grab your coffee and hit play.

Success doesn’t come from motivation, hacks, or working around the clock. It comes from knowing what matters… and doing it, even when you don’t feel like it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the habits and decision filters that keep me focused, productive, and clear, while the rest of the world stays busy being busy.

What if the key to breaking free from burnout and overwhelm wasn’t what you think? I found myself trapped in old habits, shutting down, avoiding, losing control, until something surprising showed me the hidden patterns behind it all. In this episode, I reveal how AI, of all things, became the unexpected tool that helped me unravel those blocks and reclaim my focus, my energy, and my life.
