I'm Jason Duncan. I've built 14 businesses, exited 5, and nearly lost everything because the most profitable one couldn't run a single week without me. Now I help entrepreneurs make sure that doesn't happen to them. People call me America's Exit Coach. I built The XOS Method™ and The Exiter Club™ to prove there's a better way than grinding until you break or selling too cheap. On The Root of All Success, I sit down with entrepreneurs and business owners who've built something real — and I get the full story. What they got right, what almost destroyed them, and the lessons that don't show up in the highlight reel. I also bring in guests from outside the business world when they've got something worth hearing, and I occasionally go solo when I've got something on my mind that won't wait. I'm a Nashville guy. Married 30+ years to my high school sweetheart. Father of two grown kids. I ride motorcycles, travel in an RV, and take my faith seriously. My life is what I teach: build something worth having, then actually go live. If you're an entrepreneur wondering whether your business could survive without you at the helm, go to I'm Jason Duncan.

    350. How A Tech Executive Built Nashville's Bitcoin Revolution
    Mar 30 2026
    Most people trust the system to manage their money. Rod Roudi walked away from tech to build Bitcoin Park and is now redefining financial freedom in Nashville. In this special episode of The Root of All Success, recorded live at The Standard Club in front of the Leadership Society, Jason Duncan sits down with Rod Roudi, co-founder of Bitcoin Park (a mission oriented community campus for Bitcoiners), builders, and freedom fighters. After hosting one meetup that grew from 15 people to 150 in four months, Rod left his safe tech career to bet everything on permissionless money and provable scarcity. Rod breaks down why Bitcoin is "freedom money," how it outperforms gold on divisibility, verifiability, portability, and scarcity, and why merchants should stop paying 3% to Visa when that could go straight to their bottom line instead. This conversation dives into: •The rainy night at Jackalope Brewery that started with 20 people and changed everything •How Bitcoin meetups grew from 15 to 100 to 150 people in just four months •Acquiring Florida Georgia Line's old campus in Hillsboro Village for Bitcoin Park •Why Rod left a safe tech job for a mission-oriented life he could be proud of •Bitcoin 101: Freedom money that preserves future purchasing power better than any asset •The $100 remittance story: How Western Union takes $58 before gangs take the rest •Comparing Bitcoin vs. Gold across 5 metrics: divisibility, acceptability, verifiability, portability, scarcity •Why 21 million Bitcoin is provable scarcity vs. gold's unknown supply •How you can verify the entire Bitcoin blockchain yourself with free open-source software •The magic internet money protocol missing from the internet: Bitcoin •Why your $1.93 Starbucks coffee now costs $3.57 (and Bitcoin fixes this) •The 10,000 Bitcoin pizza story: How 2 pizzas in 2010 now buys a $300k house in Bitcoin •Why merchants lose 3% to credit cards and how Bitcoin returns that to their bottom line •Defining fiat: Printable money by centralized governing bodies with no supply cap •Bitcoin as the money protocol for 8 billion people (you can't invest in SMTP or FTP, but you can own Bitcoin) •Creating an "Orange Zone" in Nashville: Bitcoin-educated community building generational wealth •Senators Hagerty & Blackburn, Governor Lee, and Tennessee's crypto-friendly leadership If you're an entrepreneur tired of losing 3% to payment processors, skeptical about Bitcoin but curious, or ready to preserve your future purchasing power in a world of inflating fiat — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about money. 🎧 Watch the full episode now (recorded live!) 👉 Subscribe for more conversations on Bitcoin, financial freedom, and entrepreneurship.

    349. Why Hundreds Of Lawyers Are Leaving Law For Better Careers
    Mar 23 2026
    Most people stay miserable in careers they hate. Casey Berman walked away from law 20 years ago and built a half-million-dollar coaching business helping hundreds of unhappy attorneys do the same. In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Casey Berman, former attorney, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Leave Law Behind, a nationally recognized coaching platform. Casey left legal practice in 2004 and spent years in consulting, operations, and running a family investment bank before realizing burnt out lawyers needed a roadmap out. Casey breaks down why the legal profession is deeply tied to identity, how a single thank you email turned free coffee meetings into a six figure business, and the exact three-step system he uses to help attorneys transition into careers they actually love, without ads, funnels, or venture capital. This conversation dives into: Why lawyers can't admit they're unhappy: ROI on law school, parental approval, student debt Casey's 2004 exit from San Francisco tech law How free coffee meetings turned into a business idea The email that changed everything: "I wouldn't have this job without you" Landing 3 clients at $750 each and scaling to $500k without ads The 3-step Leave Law Behind framework Why "I can't do anything but law" is false Real career pivots from law The myth of lawyer salaries Why lawyers struggle to change careers Mental health challenges in legal practice How lawyers have transferable skills Why informational interviews beat job applications If you're a burnt out attorney, a professional feeling trapped, or an entrepreneur learning how to build a coaching business organically, this episode will show you the exact steps to escape and rebuild. 🎧 Watch the full episode now 👉 Subscribe for more conversations on career transitions, entrepreneurship, and building freedom. Who is Casey Berman? Casey Berman is a former attorney, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Leave Law Behind, a coaching platform that helps unhappy lawyers transition into fulfilling non-legal careers. After graduating from UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) and UC Law San Francisco, Casey practiced technology law in San Francisco during the dot-com boom for about 5 years before leaving in 2004. After leaving law, Casey spent years in consulting, operations, and running a family investment bank and fashion company while figuring out his "unique genius." In 2007, his law school's career services office started sending unhappy students to meet him for coffee. By 2009, after receiving a life-changing thank you email from someone he'd helped, Casey formalized his coaching practice. He threw a dinner party at his dad's North Beach office in San Francisco, invited 25 lawyer friends, and landed 3 clients at $750 for three sessions. One of them, Gabe Rothman, became a rising star in San Francisco tech. Casey has since helped hundreds of attorneys leave law and has scaled Leave Law Behind to over $500,000 in annual revenue — entirely through organic SEO, blogging, free resources, and word of mouth (no paid ads). Leave Law Behind has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and Above the Law. Casey splits his time between Maui and San Francisco with his wife and two kids.
