  • From Mud Hut in Liberia to Coaching Nonprofits Across 3 Countries | Chris Lambert

    From Mud Hut in Liberia to Coaching Nonprofits Across 3 Countries | Chris Lambert
    Mar 20 2026
    Most people who want to change the world start with a cause, not with Chris Lambert, ‘coz he started with a crisis…

    Chris Lambert, Founder & CEO of Next Level Nonprofit, grew up in a small town in northern Indiana, gave his faith the finger at 16, then spent six years chasing whatever he thought would make him happy, but no, it didn't, then there became a chance encounter at a church service in Australia, and when he came home, he wasn't the same person who'd left.

    We covered:
    → How Chris's faith journey, from a small-town kid to a mud hut in Liberia, shaped everything he built after
    → What Life Remodeled actually did in Detroit and why the Gallup results shocked even him
    → The $300,000 check that completely rewired how he thinks about fundraising and donor relationships
    → How Indiana University's 16-0 season explains the one principle that separates great organizations from struggling ones

    There's a line Chris said that I keep thinking about, that is "Sometimes you just have to take the step forward even if you don't really know where it's going." He's done that more times than most people would be comfortable with, and it's produced something remarkable every single time!

    Chris, thank you for being so open about the whole journey, not just the wins. The stories you brought into this room were the kind that stay with you.

  • 83% of Realtors Don't Make It Five Years. Here's Why. | Donny Samson

    83% of Realtors Don't Make It Five Years. Here's Why. | Donny Samson
    Mar 13 2026
    Most people think real estate is easy money.

    Donny Samson knows better.

    He got his license at 22, just because a friend did it first and his wife said, "If he can do it, you can." His first two commissions paid for her engagement ring. He was hooked.

    But building a career is one thing. Building a company is another. When his dad handed him the keys to Samson Properties and made him CEO in 2019, Donny had to learn fast what separates a great realtor from a great leader. Spoiler: it's not the same skillset. He hired the wrong managers. He watched a title company he co-owned spend years digging out from bad hires and broken trust. He navigated a housing crash, a national lawsuit, and a real estate market that has posted record low sales three years in a row.

    And he kept going.

    Today Samson Properties is the number one brokerage in the DMV, with 6,500 agents across 49 offices. They built their own title company. They run on a 100% commission model. And Donny still shows up to teach in a different office every Wednesday.

    We covered:
    → Why 83% of realtors don't make it past five years and what brokerages owe them
    → How the private listings controversy is quietly hurting buyers and sellers
    → What the NAR lawsuit actually changed (and what it didn't)
    → Why he'd rather leave a manager seat empty for six months than hire the wrong person
    → How he thinks about growth without losing what made the company worth growing

    The thing that stuck with me most from this conversation: Donny never stopped thinking like a realtor. Even as CEO, he's still thinking about the person sitting across the table trying to buy or sell their biggest asset. That perspective is rare. It's also, I think, exactly why Samson keeps growing.

    Donny, thank you for being so open and for sharing your passion for this industry. I also appreciate you speaking directly about topics that many people in your position might avoid. This one was a blast.

  • No One Wants Their Legacy Buried: Herman Moore on Football and Business

    No One Wants Their Legacy Buried: Herman Moore on Football and Business
    Mar 9 2026
    Most people know Herman Moore as the Detroit Lions' greatest wide receiver. The records. The Pro Bowls.

    What they don't know is what happened after.

    Herman left the NFL and walked straight into one of the hardest seasons of his life. Business. He lost nearly everything. Got told no by banks, investors, and people who couldn't see past the helmet. He had to rebuild from scratch, in a world that kept boxing him in as just an athlete. He didn't leave. He didn't quit. He stayed in Michigan, bet on himself when no one else would, and eventually built one of the largest Cinnabon franchise operations in the country, owning the entire Michigan market and expanding into Florida.

    But this conversation goes deeper than franchise wins. Herman talks about the version of himself that almost walked away from football after his rookie year. About the coaching change that broke his trust in the game. About watching his legacy sit in Barry Sanders' shadow for decades and not being sure who gets to tell your story.

    We covered:
    → How Herman lost nearly everything in business and what it took to rebuild
    → What it's really like sharing a legacy with one of the greatest players in NFL history
    → Why athletes are uniquely vulnerable when they leave sports and how Herman navigated it
    → The real fear he carries as an entrepreneur that most people would never admit

    Thank you, Herman, for giving this conversation everything. For being honest about the lows that most people keep private and for showing up with the same energy you brought on every Sunday in the Silver Dome.
