In today’s episode, I sit down with Daniel Mac for a wide-ranging conversation on building wealth, investing with intention, and staying grounded as success scales. We talk about interviewing nearly 10,000 people, asking for help as a career shortcut, and why betting on people often matters more than betting on ideas. I share how I made my first million in nine months during the early internet days, what real estate, secured assets, and calculated risk look like now, and why technology from crypto to AI changes productivity without changing values. We also cover family, failure, gratitude, and making better decisions that actually last.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Sylvester Raymond, founder and CEO of Piñata Digital Marketing, to talk about a radical alternative to ads, pop-ups, and manipulative targeting. Sylvester explains how his patent-pending system monetizes natural buying behavior without interrupting games, apps, streaming, or content. We talk about why people are paying billions to avoid ads, how ethical marketing can actually increase trust and returns, and why closed ecosystems matter for creators, brands, and platforms. We also get into plug-and-play integration, white-label wallets, and what it takes to build something big without losing humility or patience along the way.

In this episode, I explain why your past isn’t holding you back—the meaning you give it is. I share six lessons that help you move from interference to alignment by auditing your influences, owning your energy, and reframing old stories into fuel for growth. When you replace blame with accountability, pressure with practice, and regret with learning, momentum returns. Your past becomes leverage when you let go of what drains you and commit to daily, aligned action. Change the meaning, and you change the future you’re creating.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Shaan Rais, a high-integrity brand builder and event creator who understands how energy, intention, and consistency shape real influence. We talk about why brand is not a logo or a tagline, but the ability to capture your essence through skills, knowledge, and desire. I share how community is built through frequency, why 10 percent of people will love you and 10 percent will never align, and how that tension actually strengthens trust. We also cover non-negotiable behaviors, faith as a daily practice, sleep as a performance advantage, and how shortening resistance creates happiness, clarity, and sustainable success.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Fran Maier, a serial entrepreneur with three decades of experience and the founder and CEO of BabyQuip. After helping scale Match.com as its first general manager and co founder, Fran turned her attention to a new marketplace built around trust, safety, and real family needs. We talk about how BabyQuip grew from a simple vacation rental problem into a national platform, why empowering women operators matters, and how strong training drives five star experiences. Fran also shares lessons on perseverance, brand building, seasonality, and why customer love and a 90 net promoter score can define long term success.

In today’s episode I sit down with Richard Pink, second generation steward of the iconic Pink’s Hot Dogs, to talk about how a $50 push cart became an 85 year institution. We cover consistency over trends, building community beyond the counter, and creating experiences people remember long after the meal. Richard shares lessons on employee loyalty, bonuses that matter, word of mouth marketing, licensing without losing quality, and adapting to media shifts while keeping the recipe the same since 1939. It is a practical look at brand, culture, longevity, and leadership built one customer at a time.

In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and Ambigram founder Lee Brett, a creator turning language, identity, and emotion into wearable art. Lee shares how a brutal trademark battle and personal setbacks led him to build Ambigram, a fashion brand rooted in transformation and perspective. We talk about Ambigrams as design tools, the emotional power of sports branding, and how technology and AI could make personalized words and meanings scalable across industries. Lee also opens up about resilience, refusing to quit when the odds are overwhelming, and how belief, momentum, and purpose carried him through years of uncertainty while building something entirely new.

In today’s episode, I break down why attention is the engine, monetization is the transmission, and brand is the fuel that makes both go farther for less. I explain why spreading content everywhere weakens results, how to rank platforms by attention density, and why one or two primary channels outperform five distracted ones. I walk through aligning native monetization paths with where people already watch, save, share, and act, instead of promising to monetize later. I also cover the go no go plan, reducing friction inside the platform, and using rapid feedback loops to systemize what works. The focus is clarity, concentration, and building a repeatable system that compounds attention into revenue.

In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur David Royce, Founder and Chairman of Aptive, to talk about building scale without losing control. We go back to his broke college days, the early lessons around equity, and the first year when rapid growth nearly put his business under. We break down how he built four companies over two decades, why cash flow can be more dangerous than failure, and the people strategies that matter when you want to keep ownership. We also get into hiring and firing, emotional expense, why passion is overrated, and how getting good at something can create its own momentum.

In this episode, I share six lessons that show why presence always beats performance. Rooms don’t respond to titles—they respond to energy, clarity, and service. I walk through how intention sets the tone, why the first moments matter, and how asking better questions creates alignment without force. I explain why breathing before speaking creates confidence, how to say less and mean more, and why combining data, stories, and lessons builds trust. When you close with certainty instead of worry, you don’t just lead the room—you elevate it.
