The Millionaire Mind

A grown man once told a room full of strangers that a single moment fetching the wrong wrench for his dad convinced him, for the next 30 years, that he wasn't good enough. My guest this week, Marc Doig, tells that story to explain why the blind spots that run a business are almost never about strategy — they're personal, and they run deep.

Marc is a Professional EOS Implementer with Integrity Momentum Group, helping leadership teams get clear, get aligned, and get traction using the Entrepreneurial Operating System. Before EOS, he spent decades as an agency partner in the food and grocery world — taking brands from a napkin sketch to 30,000 grocery stores — and helping a fire protection company capture 50% market share in a new market. A childhood friend from his rodeo days pulled him into EOS almost by accident, after Marc referred a couple of struggling clients his way and watched what happened next.

We get into what EOS actually is (Vision, Traction, Healthy — it's simpler than it sounds), why ego is the single biggest thing standing between a leader and the next level, the "right people, right seats" tool that changes how teams get built, and the soccer analogy that makes it click instantly.

If you've ever suspected the thing holding your business back is something you can't quite see, this one's for you.

I thought I knew who was winning with AI right now. I was wrong.

In this episode I sit down with Dan Kite, founder of Workuity and the Center for AI Excellence in Phoenix, and this one changed how I think about the AI conversation entirely. Dan's built eight businesses — from Blockbuster video stores to co-working spaces — and for a while, he was convinced AI was going to crush small business owners like the ones who fill his space every day. Then something shifted.

We get into why the people getting the most out of AI right now aren't the young, tech-fluent crowd everyone assumes — it's business owners in their 40s and 50s who already know their craft. We talk about the trap of overcommitting, why building your own CRM with AI is usually the wrong move, and the exact moment Dan knew it was time to walk away from a business that wasn't working anymore.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines of AI because it feels overwhelming, or you're a founder wondering when to hold on and when to let go, this conversation is for you.

Guest bio 

Dan Kite is the CEO and founder of Workuity, a co-working company with locations in the Biltmore and Chandler areas of Phoenix, which he opened roughly nine years ago. This is his eighth business — he previously built and sold a chain of Blockbuster video stores, ran a chain of computing centers called Screens, was a partner in one of Chicago's biggest small business brokerages, and worked in wealth management. After initially believing AI would devastate small business, Dan pivoted to launch Workuity's Center for AI Excellence, which now runs weekly AI workshops, exchanges, and hackathons for the Phoenix small business community.

Ben Lawson was 29, about six months off a bodybuilding show, and roughly as healthy as a person gets. Then he went to the ER because something felt off, and a doctor walked in and told him he had acute myeloid leukemia.

Eight days later, most of what he'd spent twelve years building was gone.

Ben founded Lift & Lead Co, and he's been on this show before. This time he came back with a different business and a much better reason for running it. We got into why he walked away from coaching entirely at the end of 2024, what he did in the year he spent selling real estate, and how he rebuilt the whole thing for the third time.

The line that stuck with me: you're choosing hard either way. The easy setting is also hard, you just haven't felt it yet. Being out of breath at the top of the stairs is hard. Not being able to pick up your kids is hard. Pick which hard you want.

You'll get how he doubled his audience in eight months after seven flat years, the decision-making rule that got him into a gym during chemo, and why he thinks trust with other people starts with keeping the commitments you make to yourself.

Guest bio 

Ben Lawson founded Lift & Lead Co, an online coaching business built for dads who want to be in shape without giving up their evenings. He grew up in a town too small to have a gym, started lifting on an old weight set in a basement, spent four years in the military, and launched his first online coaching program while still enlisted. He has competed as an amateur bodybuilder, coached thousands of clients including several who went pro, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at 29 — then competed again within two years. He also leads the fitness pillar of the Abundant Man Project.

When a developer hands you a $10 million project, they're not just handing you money — they're handing you a box full of risk and trusting you not to open it.

That's how Tarik Williams, President of TLW Construction, describes the job. Tarik's dad, Ted, founded TLW in the early 1980s building a project or two a year by hand. Tarik joined in 2002 ready to conquer the industry — and then the recession hit everything he touched. He calls it his Midas touch turning to dust, and it forced a complete rebuild of how TLW does business: less trade-show marketing, a lot more genuine care for every client, no matter how small.

We get into how that mindset shift, plus a five-year, all-in bet on construction management software, let TLW scale to over 30 employees and 20+ million square feet built across five states — with California next, even while everyone else is talking about leaving. Tarik also opens up about running a family business, and the one rule that keeps Thanksgiving dinner from turning into a board meeting.

If you've ever wondered what it actually takes for a developer to trust you with their business, this one's for you.

Key topics

• Building a construction company from paper ledgers to Procore — 00:31:20
• The recession and the "Midas touch" wake-up call — 00:18:32
• The $10 million box of risk — 00:25:24
• Family business boundaries — no politics, no religion, no business — 00:15:08
• Why TLW is expanding into California when everyone else is leaving — 00:38:36
• Taking on the industry's hardest, most complex builds — 00:46:39

Guest bio

Tarik Williams is President of TLW Construction, a commercial general contractor his father, Ted Williams, founded in the early 1980s. Tarik joined the company in 2002 after earning a Construction Management degree from ASU, and has helped grow TLW to over 30 employees and more than 20 million square feet of commercial projects built across five states — with a sixth, California, just added this week. TLW specializes in complex commercial builds, from multi-story storage facilities to tilt-up concrete and multifamily projects, and now operates under new ownership alongside three longtime partners following Ted's retirement.
