Jack sits down in Panama City with a co-founder of Happy Caapi to unpack why nervous-system regulation, not hustle, is the real unlock for clearer work and calmer relationships. Listeners will hear how he discovered the caapi vine and transformed it into a legal, non-inebriating daily ritual, as well as what it takes to source, produce, and educate responsibly in Panama. The two explore simple protocols that align with real life, fostering trust through consistency rather than hype, and positioning a wellness product based on evidence rather than promises. Expect takeaways on designing rituals that stick, making calm a competitive edge, and translating plant wisdom into modern routines.

In this episode, Jack sits down with Mary Quintero, founder of I Am Undercover, to distill practical, repeatable lessons from building a culture-led product brand. The conversation emphasizes the importance of protecting creative integrity and setting clear, non-negotiable boundaries, including saying no to misaligned capital and partnerships. Operational takeaways include validating demand with pre-sales, aligning design with logistics, and treating distribution and customer experience as core parts of the brand. Growth guidance focuses on feeding the business first, simplifying to what works, and using collaborations only when they truly amplify the story. Most important: prioritize solving the biggest problems in front of you, keep a half-full mindset, and let purpose guide every decision.

This episode follows Rob Gordon, a Charleston real-estate operator who graduated from college, detoured through agency/PE marketing, and rebuilt his path, doubling down on discipline (literally running every day) and networking. He breaks into the investing game by offering value first, taking over project management, scopes, bids, timelines, and finishes for an established flipper, and scales from a handful of projects to under a year. The conversation centers on learning the craft on the ground, standardizing decisions, and designing for the buyer you’re actually serving. Above all, it’s about consistency, partnerships, and patience: run the miles, build trust, and let compounding effort do the heavy lifting.

Cristóbal is a Panama City entrepreneur behind Degusta, a restaurant discovery platform, and he now focuses on a B2B reservation product. He walks through the building from B2C into B2B, explaining why WhatsApp is a real competitor in LatAm, and how treating marketing as a science and prioritizing retention features actually moves the needle for restaurants. The conversation becomes tactical, focusing on unit economics, making the case for lifetime value over broker-style one-offs, and validating the approach with sales before pursuing funding. Hiring across borders, educating the local market, and spotting Panama’s under-marketed tourism upside round out the playbook. It closes with a clear ethos: avoid idea worship, ask sharper questions, and let the best product win.
