Rosaki Hilt lost his AI company, his apartment, his car, and had to move his wife and kids onto his mom's floor. He grew up in foster care and had avoided door-to-door sales for 10 years because he thought it was the lowest rung on the ladder.

Then he found a job on Indeed. He almost didn't show up. William Turner bought him a plane ticket. Rosaki missed the flight. Turner bought him a second ticket anyway. Rosaki told him if he did, he'd become his number one guy.

One year later, he was CEO of Turner Abrams Fiber with $7 million in revenue and 60 reps.

In this episode, Sam sits down with Rosaki to break down:

• The moment he knew he had to lower his ego and get a job
• Why the owner took a chance on him after he no-showed
• How he went from rep to CEO in one year
• The "walk in straight lines" mentality that kept him locked in
• Why he still sleeps on the floor sometimes to stay grounded
• The Dragon Ball Z analogy about compressing your restart time
• Building D2D Dashboard to solve the pay transparency problem
• Balancing 6 kids, two businesses, and high school leadership workshops

First year. First summer. Golden Door.

In this Golden Door Podcast episode, Hunter sits down with first-time Golden Door winner Dallin Peterson to break down exactly how he went from brand-new pest control rep to elite producer in a single season.

Dallin shares:

How he went from slow first month to pacing for a Golden Door

The mantra that kept him locked in: “I only judge myself based off inputs”

His non-negotiable habits (no late starts, no early nights, no long breaks)

The morning and night routines that kept him mentally sharp all year

How he handled slumps, doubt, and the temptation to lower the goal

If you’re a rep or manager coming into 2026 saying, “This is my Golden Door year,” this episode gives you a simple, repeatable blueprint: work the inputs, protect your routine, and stop giving yourself an out.

Noah Eubanks started painting curbs at 16 after seeing it on a YouTube video. Now he's 22, runs a 60-person fiber team, and just hit Golden Door while earning well over $200K.

In this episode, Sam sits down with Noah to break down the problem most fiber reps don't want to hear: the product is so good that it's turning salespeople into order takers. Noah explains why that's costing reps thousands of dollars in missed deals and shares how he still pulls 10-13 sales in fiber vs fiber neighborhoods where everyone else struggles. He walks through his approach to cable bundlers (the doors most reps walk away from), using speed tests to create pain, and why customers aren't buying fiber—they're buying you.

Noah also breaks down how he balances running a team with selling: 8:30am Starbucks meetings, split shift knocking, a personal assistant handling admin, and nightly check-in calls from the gym.
