  • Ep 86: Leading at Home and at Work: How I Balance Being a CEO, Father, and Husband

    Ep 86: Leading at Home and at Work: How I Balance Being a CEO, Father, and Husband
    Nov 19 2025
    Episode Description What does leadership really mean when you're running both a household and a business? The truth is, I'm not just the CEO and founder of a growing brand I'm also the CEO of my household. I'm leading my team at work and my daughters at home, and while the stakes look different at the office versus the dinner table, the responsibility is equally high on both sides. In this episode, I dive deep into the traits, values, and daily behaviors that help me lead effectively in both spaces without sacrificing who I am as a person. I share the weight of dual leadership, the tension of being the same father and husband after a tough day at work, and why winning in business means nothing if you lose at home. From consistency and vision-casting to decisiveness and humility, the same character traits that make someone a great CEO also make them a great parent and spouse. I'll break down how we apply business frameworks like EOS to our family life, why your family needs vision just as much as your team does, and how saying "no" to protect your mission is one of the most powerful leadership tools you can master.


    Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction: Leading both business and household [0:35] – The weight of dual leadership and serving in both spaces [1:12] – Why winning at business but losing at home means you ultimately lose [1:53] – Trait #1: Consistency 13 years without missing an investment [2:54] – Trait #2: Vision casting quarterly vision for team and family [3:26] – Our family's "Foundations First" theme after overcoming major challenges [4:50] – Leading by example: Why your actions speak louder than words [5:23] – Trait #3: Decisiveness making hard calls with limited information [6:08] – Trait #4: Humility—the power of admitting when you're wrong [7:01] – Protecting the mission by saying no to distractions [7:57] – Leadership ROI: What real dividends look like [8:16] – Why work-life balance is silly go 110% on what matters most

    Key Takeaways Leadership Is About Stewardship: Whether you're leading 50 people or a family of five, it's about carrying weight well when nobody claps. Same Traits, Different Settings: Consistency, vision, decisiveness, and humility work equally well in boardrooms and living rooms. Protection Through Boundaries: The more you invite into your life, the more complex it gets. Simple scales, fancy fails.

    Quotables "If I win in business but lose at home, I lose ultimately."

    "Your family doesn't need grand gestures or huge home runs. They need consistency."

    "Work-life balance is silly you're focusing on being mediocre at everything versus putting 110% into the things that matter."

  • Ep 85: The New Financial System Is Already Here (And Most People Will Miss It)

    Ep 85: The New Financial System Is Already Here (And Most People Will Miss It)
    Nov 12 2025

    If you think you're using money the same way your parents did, you're already behind.
    If your entire view of Bitcoin is based on headlines, you're missing the point.
    And if you think this "crypto stuff" is just a fad, then today's episode will shake your perspective.

    Because what we're living through isn't just a tech revolution; it's the early stage of a complete financial reset. The system you were taught to trust is showing its cracks, and a new one is quietly being built in real time.

    In this episode, I'll walk you through what's really happening beneath the surface of our economy: how the legacy system is breaking down, why blockchain isn't the same as crypto, and why Bitcoin stands alone as the foundation of a new era. We'll unpack what central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could mean for your freedom, how tokenization is changing ownership, and what you can actually do right now to prepare for what's coming next.

    This isn't about hype or headlines. It's about understanding the future of money before the rest of the world wakes up.

    Episode Timeline & Highlights

    [0:00] – Introduction: Why the way we use money is already outdated
    [1:00] – The cracks in the old system: banks, inflation, and eroding trust
    [4:30] – Blockchain ≠ Crypto: the foundation of the new financial internet
    [7:30] – Bitcoin ≠ Crypto: digital property, not a startup project
    [11:30] – What's coming: CBDCs, tokenization, and digital IDs
    [15:30] – What to do now: education, ownership, and early infrastructure
    [19:00] – Closing: The financial system is molting. Will you be ready?

    Key Takeaways

    The Old System Is Breaking: Inflation, inefficiency, and control are signals that the traditional system is unsustainable.
    Blockchain Is the Infrastructure: It's not about coins; it's about a trustless, verifiable system the world will soon rely on.
    Bitcoin Stands Alone: It's not just another crypto. It's digital property, the foundation of a new monetary network.
    Preparation Beats Prediction: The people who win in revolutions aren't the loudest. They're the ones who understood the shift early and acted on it.

    Quotables

    "If your view of Bitcoin comes from headlines, you've already missed the real story."

    "Banks still run on 1970s rails. You send a wire Friday, it lands Monday, if you're lucky."

    "Most crypto is a startup. Bitcoin is a protocol. One builds features. The other preserves freedom."

    "The system isn't just evolving; it's molting. And under that shell, something entirely new is taking shape."

  • Ep 84: Why Being in Debt Might Be the Best Time to Invest in Yourself

    Ep 84: Why Being in Debt Might Be the Best Time to Invest in Yourself
    Nov 5 2025
    Episode Description

    "I'd love to join the Academy, but I'm already in debt. I can't justify spending more money right now." This is one of the biggest objections I hear, and I get it, I've been there too. But if you're in a tough financial position, this episode is going to completely flip your mindset and show you why being in a hole isn't a reason to freeze, it's the exact reason to move.

    Most people wait until they feel financially safe to invest in themselves, but that feeling may never come if you're drowning financially. You're not lazy, you're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck in the same cycle that got you here in the first place. The truth is, the cost of doing nothing is far more expensive than you realize, and most people aren't calculating what inaction is actually costing them.

    In this episode, I break down the real math behind waiting, share the story of Miranda (who went from working three jobs with sweaty palms to landing a $500,000 dream job in Hawaii), and explain why the Academy isn't just an expense, it's a path out of your current situation.

    Episode Timeline & Highlights

    0:00] – The biggest objection: "I'm already in debt" [0:33] – The emotional trap of waiting until you're ready [1:16] – Pattern recognition: What separates wealthy from broke mindsets [1:41] – The hidden cost of inaction (and why $100K in savings is losing you $6K annually) [2:19] – Real numbers: Average students find $24,000 extra per year in cash flow [3:22] – Why "I can't afford it" is really about not trusting yourself [4:29] – What Academy students actually get: The automated financial roadmap [6:05] – Students with debt pay it off 28 months faster than expected [7:01] – Reframing affordability: It's about priorities, not bank balance [8:43] – Miranda's transformation: From three jobs and anxiety to $500K dream life [10:14] – Why the moment you feel least ready is when you need to leap

    Key Takeaways

    The Cost of Inaction Is Higher Than Investment: Our average student finds an extra $2,000 per month in cash flow, which compounds to over $1 million in 17 years.

    Fear Keeps You Stuck in Patterns: Pattern recognition separates wealthy individuals from those who remain broke. The same cycle repeats until you take action.

    Debt Doesn't Disqualify You: Thousands of students have joined with debt and become debt-free faster than they ever imagined possible.

    Quotables

    "You're not lazy. You're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck." "The longer you wait for your finances to get better on their own, the more time goes by. And time is money, and time is compound interest." "Sometimes the moment you feel the least ready is the exact moment you need to take the leap of faith."
