In this episode of ALL IN, I dive deep into the five most common regrets people experience at the end of their lives and how you can avoid them today. I explore why living true to yourself matters more than meeting others' expectations and why "working too hard" isn't really about work—it's about missing important moments with the people who matter. I share my personal experiences, including turning down a lucrative speaking gig to be present for my kids' 16th birthday, and why expressing your feelings is crucial for authentic relationships. I discuss the importance of maintaining meaningful friendships and why "letting yourself be happy" might be the most powerful choice you ever make. This episode is all about making choices today that your future self will thank you for, because where you are now is not where you're meant to stay.

In this episode, I sat down with Kevin Palmary from Next Level University who's done over 800 episodes of his show. Kevin shared his incredible journey from rock bottom to podcast success. Despite having the car, the body, the model girlfriend, and money in the bank at 25, Kevin was empty inside - depressed, anxious, and insecure. His wake-up call came when he found himself on the edge of a hotel bed in New Jersey, contemplating ending his life because he felt so stuck. Instead, he went ALL IN on his podcast, left his six-figure job, ran up $35,000 in credit cards, and completely transformed his life. Kevin dropped some serious truth bombs about why most podcasts fail, why treating your podcast like a business matters more than chasing download numbers, and how vulnerability creates the bridge that connects people. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or growing the one you have, this episode is packed with insights you can't miss.

About Kevin: Host of Top 100 Global Podcast "Next Level University" - 700+ Episodes, Listeners In Over 100 Countries. Some people find rock bottom... I found out that rock bottom has a basement. In my mid 20's... I had it all. A beautiful girlfriend, a high paying job, a sports car, my dream body... but I still ended up sitting on the edge of a bed debating suicide... several times. After my rock bottom moment, I went all in on self improvement, I was determined to overcome my anxiety, to overcome my depression. Years later, I host a podcast with hundreds of thousands of downloads in over a hundred countries, I've grown the podcast into a multi six-figure business and I've recorded over 700 episodes. I've given nearly 100 speeches and had the opportunity to do hundreds of coaching calls. The main thing that changed was ME. I focused on learning what I didn't know (and unlearning a lot too) and my life started to shift. It's my purpose to help other people get unstuck and get to the next level of their lives.

You want to skyrocket your sales? Listen up. Today I'm dropping the greatest sales hack of all time. I learned this at McDonald's when I was 15 years old working the drive-thru. The magical phrases? "Would you like fries with that?" and "Would you like to supersize it?" This is about the psychology of the upsell at the exact right moment - immediately after someone has already said yes to a purchase. The reason people don't buy from you is because you're not offering. And the reason you don't increase your sales is because you don't upsell after the transaction is already made. I tripled my sales at Geek Squad using this exact method. When a customer already says yes to one thing, they're primed to say yes again. Your job today is to figure out two things: what's your "would you like fries with that?" and what's your "would you like to supersize it?" Do this and watch your business explode.

I had a killer conversation with Christa Hilton, the conservative single mom and entrepreneur behind Drunk Republic. We didn't get political. We got real. Christa started reading the entire CARES Act during COVID when her business consulting for small businesses had to shut down. What she discovered sent her down a rabbit hole of government waste, hidden spending, and ridiculous programs that American taxpayers unknowingly fund. We dove into the insanity of public school systems, why parents need to take back their power, and how Christa's approach to showing her son real life in Portland—drugs, homelessness and all—is creating a kid who thinks critically about everything. Christa shared how her 12-year-old son can already see through political BS on both sides. School choice, government spending, entrepreneurship, parenting—this conversation covers it all. Christa's podcast Drunk Politics is cutting through the noise and exposing what our government is really doing with our money. Go check her out on Instagram @thechristahilton and at drunkrepublic.co.

About Krista: Conservative single mom & entrepreneur still living in Portland, OR. Started a brand called Drunk Republic and a podcast called Drunk Politics (it's a play on words calling out how drunk on power our politicians are) out of a burning need to get fellow Americans to wake up to the madness that is perpetuating in our country and then do something about it. She's been invited onto Newsmax multiple times talking about HOW conservatives can get involved in starting to take back their cities, especially the very liberal ones, as well as how she is raising her son with conservative values having pulled him out of the public school system to homeschool him while going on a cross country roadtrip before putting him in a small Christian private school.

In this episode, I break down the right ways to support someone who's going through tough times. Most people jump straight to giving advice or trying to fix things, which usually backfires. I share six specific strategies that will actually help someone feel supported rather than minimized or dismissed. From asking the simple question "How can I support you right now?" to avoiding those bullshit phrases like "everything happens for a reason," these tactics will preserve your energy while genuinely helping others. I also explain why validating someone's perspective is crucial and how practical actions like sending dinner can mean more than words. These methods aren't just about supporting others better—they're about building deeper connections that feel good for everyone involved.

I sat down with keynote speaker, elite athlete, and two-time Big 10 championship winning coach Brandon Burns for a conversation that went deeper than I expected. Brandon shared his journey from a small-town kid in Alabama to walking onto the University of Michigan gymnastics team, getting cut four times in five years, and then becoming a coach for the very team that cut him. We dove into what makes a great coach versus a great performer, and why some people are naturally better at zooming out to see the bigger picture while others excel at direct execution. Brandon opened up about growing up with financial stress, overcoming a victim mindset, and transforming childhood trauma into drive. His insights on authenticity in leadership and speaking hit hard – especially when he broke down how to connect with any audience by owning your full story. The wisdom Brandon dropped about taking those first steps toward change instead of waiting for divine intervention is something everyone needs to hear. This episode is packed with tactical advice for speakers, coaches, and anyone looking to level up their leadership and life.

About Brandon: Brandon Burns is an international keynote speaker, elite athlete, viral influencer with over 50 million views on social media, 2x B1G Ten Championship-Winning Coach; serial entrepreneur; and right-hand man to the world’s #1 motivational speaker - Dr. Eric Thomas. After experiencing various mental health battles, financial lack, and family trauma during his childhood, Brandon was able to overcome his victim mindset to succeed in school and walk-on to the men’s gymnastics team at the University of Michigan. However - his athletic dreams came to a screeching halt after being cut from the team 4 times in 5 years. After years of perseverance & self-discovery, Brandon’s journey eventually allowed him to go from “cut to coach” - becoming one of the industry’s top speakers and strategic performance coaches, as well as a successful entrepreneur.

I'm breaking down the only three rules of success in business today. Forget all those "10 commandments" or "5 steps" to success that other gurus pitch. Rule #1: Focus on quality, not price. When you deliver incredible quality, price becomes secondary in your customers' minds. People will figure out how to pay for something if the quality is worth it. Rule #2: Focus on revenue generation, not costs. So many business owners get this backward. While everyone else was cutting costs during the pandemic, I pushed forward with growth and acquisitions. Your job is to put more numbers on the board. Rule #3: Just do rules #1 and #2 consistently. It's that simple. When you focus on these fundamentals, your bank account grows, relationships flourish, and all the small stuff works itself out. The outcome is what matters - deliver that, and everything else falls into place.

In this epic reunion episode, I brought back one of my earliest guests, Alex Montros, to talk about his journey since selling his company and his current passion for intentional fatherhood. We dive into how Alex and his wife built their business with clear boundaries around their marriage, making a non-negotiable commitment that if the business threatened their relationship, they would cut the business no matter how profitable. Alex shares his powerful transition from business leadership to family leadership, revealing the structure of their weekly family meetings and how intentionality becomes a muscle that must be consistently exercised. Having gone through painful divorces before meeting each other, Alex and his wife created a framework for family leadership that's resulted in thriving kids and a stronger marriage. This episode isn't just for parents - it's for anyone who wants to bring the same intentionality they have in business to their most important relationships.
