Too many people go into events or dinners trying to make the ask right away, and that’s the fastest way to turn people off. In this episode, Lori and I break down the exact questions we use to start meaningful conversations, how to position yourself as the connector everyone remembers, and the #1 networking rule I live by. We also share how to craft a confident 30 second answer about what you do (instead of a three minute bio that makes people tune out). Become a master networker and start building the kind of connections that last.

HIGHLIGHTS

• My #1 networking rule.

• The four conversation starters Lori uses that always work.

• How to craft a 30 second answer to “What do you do?”.

• Why being the connector makes you unforgettable.

• How to spot high quality contacts (and politely redirect others).

• One thing that can save you years of trial and error in business.

Want to know how REAL breakthroughs happen? Lori and I came home from two totally different trips both packed with lessons we’re sharing with you. I just got back from a five day road trip with my mom and brother and Lori just wrapped her twice-a-year mastermind with some of the most brilliant women. In this episode, we break down exactly why these intentional spaces work, how to create your own (even if you’re starting small), and why you have to get out of your echo chamber if you want fresh ideas and bigger results. I also share how to engineer the setting, set the right intentions, and surround yourself with people who’ll push you higher. Get ready to create your own “breakthrough container,” for your business, your relationships, or your life.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The one question I asked on my family road trip that corrected long-held assumptions.

• How Lori’s small dream list idea became a mastermind with billion-dollar founders.

• How to escape your “echo chamber” to get new strategies and perspectives.

• The 3 part formula for creating life-changing conversations.

When reflecting on the past struggles and risks Lori and I had to take in order to build the lives and businesses we have now, we realized something important. Those experiences weren’t just about survival, they were given to us to build the risk tolerance and resilience we needed to get to where we are now. We share how I went from plowing snow in freezing Wisconsin winters and cleaning bar bathrooms, and Lori waking up at 4 AM to work at drive-thru coffee shops to make ends meet, to building our dream lives. We also share one mindset shift that will take you to the top of the mountain (hint: it’s not talent, luck, or connections).

HIGHLIGHTS

• The ONE THING you tolerate that determines your success.

• Common pitfalls keeping most people stuck in life and business.

• The #1 lesson we learned from our toughest struggles.

• How Chris ended up cleaning bars at 3 AM.

• The real secret to success (it’s NOT just working harder).

• The mindset shift that changed EVERYTHING for us.

Feel like you're stuck, starting over, or searching for direction? After investing years and millions into our FinTech app Frello, we were shut down by regulators just weeks before launch; no safety net, no backup plan, just six months of pressure, setbacks, and relentless searching for a way forward. It was the hardest season of my entrepreneurial journey. But here’s the good news: we found a way. In this episode, I share how we pivoted, what it took to rebuild mentally and physically, and why the business we built next is smarter, stronger, and more aligned. Let this be your reminder that what feels like failure might be the setup for your best chapter yet.

HIGHLIGHTS

• How a random Instagram DM sparked Frello.

• The lawsuit that forced us to shut everything down (weeks before go-live).

• A smarter marketplace connecting real estate flippers with hard money lenders.

• Features we built from insider feedback from top lenders and educators.

• Why we continued funding Frello out of our own pockets.

• The rollercoaster metaphor that every entrepreneur needs to hear.

One of the most powerful things you can do for your growth is to curate your own circle of high performers, and I just watched Lori do exactly that. In this episode, Lori shares how she pulled off an incredible dinner with 23 powerhouse women, and the ripple effect it’s already created in our lives and business. We also talk about why building relationships that are real and NOT just transactional matters more, and how to develop the emotional intelligence it takes to be invited into or create these next-level rooms. Don’t sit around waiting for the right opportunity or the perfect people to show up, this is your sign to create it yourself.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The long-game strategy that opens doors that most can’t access.

• How to get into rooms with high-level, influential people.
