Disruptor Nation, today’s episode is about one thing most entrepreneurs avoid talking about money. Not the flashy “make six figures overnight” hype, but the real fundamentals of managing it, multiplying it, and actually enjoying it.

I’m joined by Rocky Lalvani, founder of Profit Comes First, entrepreneur, podcast host, and champion of the Profit First methodology. From an immigrant childhood to a career in biotech to becoming a trusted financial voice for small business owners, Rocky has seen firsthand what happens when we ignore money and what’s possible when we master it.

Here’s what we cover in this practical and perspective-shifting conversation:

• How Rocky’s early lessons in money shaped his entrepreneurial mindset

• Why schools and society are failing us when it comes to financial literacy

• The essential money fundamentals every entrepreneur needs to know

• How to manage a business budget without losing sleep or control

• Why consistency with money beats chasing fast growth every time

• The simple way to structure your bank accounts for financial discipline

• What the Profit First mindset is, and how this small psychological shift can change everything

• Why being resourceful matters more than being “rich” when starting out

Rocky doesn’t just talk about profit, he shows entrepreneurs how to build it into their DNA. This episode is your roadmap to getting disciplined with money, building wealth with intention, and finally running your business like a business.
