Berg and Jay sit down to reflect on some of the most impactful moments from the Success Leaves Clues podcast with Aaron Stokes.

We’re incredibly grateful to have recorded this episode live at the last Pro Conference with Aaron and special guest Jay Huh.

As many of you know, Aaron has since passed. While his presence is deeply missed, his mission lives on. The Success Leaves Clues podcast will continue — committed to the cause he cared so deeply about: stopping the average small business from destroying the average small family in America.

Aaron believed business should create freedom, not fracture families. That conviction doesn’t end here.

In this episode, Jay Huh brings his unmistakable passion for changing the industry and his call to embrace courage — the kind of courage it takes to build not just a successful business, but an incredible life. Jay is a true force for good and a relentless advocate for helping others rise.

We’re honored to carry the torch.

Enjoy the episode.
