Number 2: The Boring Businesses That Quietly Make Millions
Most people think entrepreneurship is about big ideas, venture capital, and building the next tech unicorn. I don't see it that way. In this conversation, I break down why almost every business ends up looking the same at scale and why chasing passion is one of the worst ways to start. I talk about how I think about opportunity, why "boring" businesses win, and how geography can be your biggest advantage. We get into what it actually takes to build something real: hiring, firing, delegating, and making tough decisions. I explain how I approach leadership, how I think about incentivizing people, and why not everyone in your company should want to be the CEO. I also share how I evaluate businesses, what I look for in underserved markets, and why simple services like cleaning, moving, or fixing things can outperform flashy startups if you execute well. At the end of the day, this isn't about ideas. It's about execution, leverage, and putting yourself in a position to win over a long period of time.

Number 3: You Don't Deserve a Business Until You've Done the Dirty Work
In this episode, Chris Koerner and I talk about what it actually takes to build something meaningful. Not the social media version. The real version. We talk about taking punches in business, dealing with hate online, and why most people have no clue what their stress limit really is. We talk about how real confidence comes from doing hard things and why most networking is a waste of time. We break down the role of a CEO, why delegation is a skill you earn, and why pride can ruin everything. No fluff. Just real talk on building, operating, and surviving in business.
