In this episode, I sit down with Jeffery Lowery—a former professional flat track racer turned business owner—who's built his life around discipline, resilience, and doing hard things.

We dive into his journey from chasing speed on the track to building a growing CNC machine shop, and how the lessons from racing directly shaped his approach to business, mindset, and life.

What stood out most is Jeffery's perspective on fulfillment—not coming from the win, but from the pursuit. From redefining what winning looks like, to embracing the reality that hard is what gives life meaning, this conversation is a powerful reminder that the process is everything.

If you're building something, chasing something, or trying to figure out your next move—this episode will challenge the way you think.

Key Topics:

• Why fulfillment comes from the pursuit—not the outcome
• The transition from racing motorcycles to building a business
• Learning to embrace hard instead of chasing easy
• How physical discipline builds mental resilience

Most people aren't stuck because they lack skill—they're stuck because they're not in the right rooms. In this episode, I break down why your network is everything, how one introduction can change your trajectory, and why having the courage to walk up, shake a hand, and start a conversation is the move that separates those who grow from those who stay the same.

I've built everything by getting around the right people—and if you're serious about leveling up, you can't afford to sit on the sidelines anymore. The room you're not in is costing you more than you think.

Key Topics:

• Why isolation is killing your growth
• The power of getting in the right rooms
• How to confidently introduce yourself
• Why execution over advice every time

This guest is someone who's been part of my journey from the very beginning.

Wesley Gililland was in the room when we were trying to pull off a deal that, on paper, had no business working. Back in 2018, when we were green, undercapitalized, and figuring it out in real time—Wes was one of the people who helped make it happen.

In this episode, we break down "the art of the deal," what it really takes to navigate adversity in business, and why having the right people in your corner changes everything. From mentorship under Jim Havens, to building businesses, to stepping into leadership—Wes shares the lessons that only come from being in it.

We also get into patience vs persistence, delayed gratification, and how tools like AI are changing the way we operate and execute at a high level.

This isn't just about closing deals.

It's about becoming the person capable of doing it in the first place.

Key Topics: - The art of the deal: how relationships made the impossible happen - Why patience + persistence beats raw hustle every time - Leveraging AI to accelerate execution without losing focus - Building wealth through people, not just systems
