In Episode 20 of Elevate The Hustle, hosts Stanley Meytin and Dom Piccirillo sit down with Neil Krauter to unpack a career that started with peanut brittle sales records and a keg party that changed everything, leading to a $40 million book of business, a firm built from scratch, and adventures that would make most people's heads spin.

At 18, Neil made a decision: retire by 40. What followed was a masterclass in specialization, relationship capital, and knowing exactly what your time is worth.

Episode Highlights:

• How calling a managing director a f***ing a**hole in a boardroom accidentally launched his entire career niche.
• Why he never does RFPs, and what that says about how the best in the business value their time.
• The day he signed a five-year personal lease on half a floor in Midtown Manhattan with zero clients and zero employees.
• How he grew a firm to 186 private equity fund clients, sold it, and never stopped grinding.

Whether you're just starting out or already building something, this episode will show you what it looks like to never give your time away cheap.
