Last week was one of the toughest weeks I've had since starting this job. My words said one thing—but my actions told a different story. But something clicked this past week. This was a PR week for me. 

In this episode, I break down exactly what changed and why I went from feeling stuck to getting results. I also share the message I gave my team—about excuses, ownership, and doing what it takes. The truth is: your excuse might be valid… but no one cares. You either get it done or you don’t.

This week, I opened up to the team about something that’s held me back my entire life: self-confidence. I share a story about my football career, the ride home from my last game, and the sick feeling of knowing I never fully believed in myself.

Ran into a friend from college couple weeks back and he asked me why I’m not scared to do what I’m doing now. I thought back to a conversation I had with my dad just a week before, when he told me his biggest regret: not taking more risks when he was young. That hit me hard.

In this episode, I talk about how that moment shifted my perspective and why I refuse to make the same mistake. I’ve already made the hard choice to bet on myself—so why waste energy doubting now? We don’t have time to not believe in ourselves. If you’ve ever held back because of fear or doubt, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share the “Secret to Success”—a simple piece of advice I gave to my younger roommate and some of the rookies on our team this week.

I also open up about a friend in my car group who’s facing serious adversity. He’s got every reason to quit—but he also has the chance to write a story most people only dream about. Because if you don’t quit… you can’t lose.

I talk about two big lessons I learned recently—one about chasing goals, and one about leadership.

I write my top ten goals every day, and this week I actually achieved one. But when it happened, it didn’t feel how I thought it would. That moment taught me a lot about timing, surrender, and why sometimes you’ve got to let things happen in God’s timing—not force them.

The second lesson came from leading my car group this summer. I’ve been realizing just how powerful responsibility and accountability really are and how it's been impacting me. If I want to lead others well, I’ve got to show up better myself and I share how i'm going to do that.

Coming into this summer feels completely different. Last year, I was the rookie questioning everything: Is this for me? How am I going to figure this out? Now, I know what to expect. We have a lot of rookies on the team and a lot of them are coming to me for advice and I know exactly how they feel right now. I share my story of how I relate to them and what that moment meant for me.

This episode features Caleb Moller — one of the top athletes in all of Meraki and one of the biggest reasons behind our winning culture.

Caleb opens up about his journey from playing college soccer to dropping out and going all-in on door-to-door sales. He shares why he made that decision, what it cost him, and how he’s finding meaning and growth in the D2D world.

We talk about his ability to stay consistent, keep promises to himself, and push through even when it’s hard — a superpower that’s helped him level up. Caleb also gets real about hitting an emotional wall just last week and how he bounced back. His story is a powerful reminder that even the strongest leaders struggle.

If you’re a rookie heading into your first summer, this one’s full of gold.
