From active duty Navy hospital corpsman to building a $100M+ marketing empire, this episode of Wealth Made Simple dives deep into the real, unfiltered journey of Douglas James. Douglas breaks down how his time in the military shaped his leadership, discipline, and mindset—and how those same traits helped him transition into entrepreneurship while still serving on active duty.

You’ll hear how Douglas went from learning SEO and ranking local businesses on Google to losing everything overnight from a Google algorithm update, then pivoting into paid ads, lead generation, and eventually high-ticket consulting and coaching. He explains how he scaled agencies, built teams of over 100 people, sold five-figure programs, and helped professionals and veterans create entirely new income streams outside traditional careers.

This conversation is packed with lessons on leadership, risk, scrutiny, scaling, and knowing when to pivot. If you’re a veteran, entrepreneur, or anyone questioning the traditional path, this episode will challenge how you think about opportunity, security, and building wealth on your own terms.
