In this episode of The Chad Peterson Show, Chad sits down with Alexandra Rodriguez, founder of IRB, tax strategist, business advisor, and dealmaker, for one of the most raw, controversial, and honest conversations we’ve ever had.

This is not a feel-good podcast.
This is a reality check.

Alexandra shares her unfiltered journey as a woman who built real businesses in a man’s world — without feminism, without victimhood, and without excuses.

Key Topics Covered

• Why business is inherently masculine — and why most women aren’t willing to accept that
• The uncomfortable truth about feminism and why it doesn’t create successful business owners
• Why emotional decision-making destroys wealth
• How childhood conditioning creates invisible “lids” that cap success
• Why most people refuse to sell, scale, or move on — even when they should
• The difference between CPAs and true tax strategists
• Why you, not your CPA, are responsible for your tax outcomes
• How the Latin business community builds wealth — and where they get stuck
• The psychology of money, risk, and growth
• Why real wealth requires permission to outgrow your past

Alexandra breaks down how she built multiple entities across tax, business growth, immigration strategy, and wealth structuring, and why most people — men and women — never escape survival mode.

This episode will challenge your beliefs about:
Business.
Gender.
Money.
Responsibility.
Growth.

If you’re easily offended — skip it.
If you want truth — press play.

In this episode of The Chad Peterson Show, Chad sits down with Brandon Rooks, founder of Rockstar Capital Group, to expose what most real estate investors completely misunderstand about wealth, cash flow, and risk.

This is not guru theory. This is real money, real scars, and real market experience.

Together, Chad and Brandon break down:

• Why “buy rentals and hold forever” is the hardest and slowest wealth strategy
• What most investors ignore about maintenance, vacancies, and shrinking cash flow
• How Brandon lost millions — and what the 2008 crash really taught him
• Why COVID broke every real estate model people thought they understood
• How smart capital stopped chasing buildings and started chasing LAND
• Why big builders want shovel-ready dirt, not long-term liabilities
• The real margins in real estate — and where profits actually come from
• Why trapped equity kills momentum
• How to think in 5-year exits instead of 25-year hope strategies

This conversation pulls back the curtain on how real professionals shift strategies when markets change — and why most people lose money trying to copy what they don’t understand.

If you’re interested in real estate, investing, land, private capital, or building wealth without fantasy math — this episode is required listening.

• Why men & women are BOTH blaming each other — and both are wrong

On this episode of The Chad Peterson Show, Chad sits down with performance strategist Antonio Garcia for one of the most brutally honest conversations about the coaching industry you'll hear anywhere. Together they break down the truth behind online gurus, coaching programs, fake experts, and why so many people end up in what Chad calls “a boulevard of broken dreams.”

Here’s what you’ll learn in this powerful episode:

🔥 1. The Rise of Online Gurus — and Why So Many Are Frauds
Why the industry is flooded with charismatic marketers selling “the pill,” promising instant success with no real substance behind it.
🔥 2. Marketing vs. Fulfillment — The Gap That Destroys Lives
How many so-called experts excel at attracting attention… but fail completely at delivering results or real value.
🔥 3. The Psychology Behind Why People Fall for Scams
Humans are wired to chase “easier, quicker, faster.” Chad and Antonio break down how that wiring is exploited by influencers.
🔥 4. Integrity, Track Records & What REAL Coaching Looks Like
Why experience matters, why track record matters, and why integrity is the only long-term advantage in business.
🔥 5. How to Actually Fix a Business — The Emotional & Operational Truth

Antonio gives an insider look at true business coaching: leadership psychology, trauma patterns, culture, KPIs, and what actually causes a business to succeed or collapse.

This conversation is direct, raw, unfiltered — and a must-watch for entrepreneurs, buyers, business owners, and anyone navigating the online education world.

On this episode of The Chad Peterson Show, Chad sits down with master Navajo jeweler Steve Arvizo and his manager Paul D’Souza for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on culture, energy, craftsmanship, and spiritual intention.

This isn’t a conversation about “jewelry.”
It’s a conversation about meaning, identity, heritage, and the power embedded in the things we choose to wear and keep.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. The deeper meaning behind Navajo jewelry
Steve explains how each piece is created with prayer, symbolism, and intentionality—why turquoise “speaks,” why stones choose their form, and why no two pieces will ever be the same.

2. How energy and craftsmanship shape a piece
From the quality of silver to the energy of the stone, Steve shares the exact process of creating heirloom-level jewelry that becomes a generational artifact—not an accessory.

3. Why global collectors (Japan, Germany, Korea) are obsessed with Steve’s work
Paul breaks down how cultures that value tradition and energy are naturally drawn to Steve’s pieces—and how they’ve become global collector items.

4. The spiritual traditions and daily rituals behind Navajo artistry
From morning prayer to honoring Mother Earth, Steve explains how cultural grounding shapes every piece he creates.

5. How modern buyers can reclaim meaning in what they purchase and pass down
This episode reframes jewelry as legacy—connecting families, creating identity, and restoring intentional craftsmanship in a world of mass production.

This is storytelling, craftsmanship, spirituality, and legacy-building at the highest level.

In this episode, Chad sits down with his social media strategist, Vincent Zampelli, to break down the real state of marketing, attention, and business growth today.

Together, they dive into five of the most impactful topics every entrepreneur needs to understand:

🔥 Key Topics Covered

• The rise of “brain-rot content”
Why low-level entertainment goes viral while high-value business content struggles to break through.
• How short-form algorithms really work
What Instagram and TikTok prioritize and why retention in the first 4–8 seconds determines everything.
• Why trades are the new Gold Rush
Blue-collar service businesses are being snapped up by private equity because they’re AI-proof and insanely profitable.
• Content that actually generates clients
The power of B-roll, before/after footage, and documenting your process to build trust and authority.
• Escaping the 9–5 trap
Why starting from scratch is risky — and how buying a business is the fastest path to wealth, time, and freedom.
