️ATTEND A "WHERE U?" WORKSHOP

Why would a 30-year-old cut 75% of what he sells right when his business needs money? That's what I asked Brandon Willington, founder of Where U?, and his answer surprised me. Brandon was running a done-for-you agency with packages for every kind of client and every kind of funnel. He was buried in operational bloat and owed a quarter million dollars to the Australian tax office. Then he noticed his small workshop offer was three times more profitable than everything else, so he cut the rest. He stuck to one offer, one type of customer, and getting 1% better at one presentation, and monthly revenue went from about $29K to over $2 million. We break down how he applies that same "do less" thinking everywhere: running one ad channel until it plateaus before adding another, keeping funnels to one step or two, ignoring organic content until he passed $1M a month, and using a one-page plan to throw out any idea that doesn't move the business forward. If you're stuck because you're trying to do everything, this episode will show you what to cut.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

ABOUT BRANDON WILLINGTON

Brandon Willington is anAustralian entrepreneur and lead generationexpert known for turning attention into revenue with ruthless precision. As the founder and CEO ofWhere U?, a Perth-based marketing education company, he helps service businesses generate predictable growth through paid traffic, conversion systems, and sales optimization.But his story did not start in boardrooms or agencies. It started in nightclubs.

Before building a high-revenue company, Brandon was a DJ immersed in Australia’s nightlife scene, where he learned how to capture attention, read people, and sell experiences in real time. His first business idea, a social app to help people find friends on nights out, failed to scale. Instead of forcing it, he pivoted. That decision became the foundation of everything that followed.

Within a short period, he transformed Where U? from operating at a loss into a profitable, fast-scaling business. At one point, he went from being hundreds of thousands in debt to generating over one million per month, driven by a simple philosophy: eliminate what does not matter and double down on what does.

In 2025, Brandon was recognized at the Australian Young Entrepreneur Awards, not for hype, but for measurable business performance. His approach challenges the traditional agency model by focusing on lean systems, clear metrics, and outcomes that actually move revenue.

Known for his direct, no-fluff style, Brandon speaks openly about discipline, deep focus, and building systems that remove friction from both business and life. Whether he is breaking down paid ads or sharing lessons from martial arts and structured routines, his message is consistent: clarity and execution beat complexity every time.

I sat down with Raleigh Williams, a former M&A attorney who walked away from a top five law firm after a panic attack, built and sold an entertainment business, and now teaches parents how to raise genuinely confident kids. We got into why praising your kids for being smart or pretty can actually backfire, what to say when your child says “I can’t” or “I’m so dumb,” and his 4 C’s framework of core values, courage, competence, and compassion. Then the conversation went somewhere I didn’t expect. Raleigh opened up about chasing his father’s approval into law, the two years they didn’t speak after he left, losing his best friend to suicide, and why he now believes confidence matters even more than purpose. I shared how my own mother’s addiction became the toughest lesson I ever got, and we talked about the idea that we choose our parents for a reason. If you’re a parent, an entrepreneur, or someone still trying to trust your own voice, this one is for you.

Eric Winegard’s story is not the polished founder myth. Before he became CEO and co-founder of Rare Blue Moon Marketing, he was a kid raised by a single mother on welfare, a teenager experimenting with drugs, and a young man who realized no one was coming to save him.

In this episode ofEntrepreneur DNA, Justin Colby sits down with Eric to unpack how he went from 17 years in a W-2 sales role to building an $18 million marketing business in just three years.

In this episode I sat down with Kristian Mtetwa, a wealth advisor who leads Synergy Private, a multifamily office serving athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and executives. We start by busting the biggest myth about the rich: they aren’t hoarding money, they’re obsessed with adding value because that’s the only way to keep it. Kristian explains what a family office actually does, why giving anyone power of attorney over your money is a massive liability, and the numbers ($10M liquid net worth or $1M in annual income) where it starts to make sense. We dig into ambition vs. envy, why you focus to get wealthy but diversify to stay wealthy, how to avoid shiny object syndrome, and why liquidity matters more than most people think. I also share my own hard lessons from 2024, what I learned in my mastermind about using lines of credit instead of long-term loans, and how I use whole life insurance like a personal bank. If you want to build wealth that actually lasts, with long obedience in a specific direction and aggressive patience, this one’s for you.

Your operator strengths might be the very thing holding you back. Gary Vaynerchuk shares a hard financial realization.

Gary Vaynerchuk is known for spotting internet trends years before they happen. But even with that foresight, he faced a brutal reality in 2026. Sometimes, the skills that get you to a certain level of business growth are the exact same habits that prevent you from scaling further.

---

In this episode, I sat down with my GOAT, Gary Vaynerchuk, and he did not hold back. Gary broke down his entire empire, from VaynerX and VeeFriends to Vayner Sports and his new TV production company, and explained why he refuses to follow the "just focus on one business" advice so many of us preach. He opened up about building Wine Library into a $50 million business for his dad, walking away at 34 with nothing, and growing VaynerX to roughly $400 million in revenue without a single outside dollar to start. We got tactical on where attention is right now, including TikTok Live, Substack, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat Spotlight, and why he calls this the era of "interest media." Then we went deep: why being a great operator is his biggest vulnerability, why he has no one he goes to for advice, how he runs his companies like a family business, and whether Gary Vee is actually happy. This one is packed with real advice you can use today.

Everyone wants to talk about AI, but my guest this week would rather talk about people. Heather Simpson spent years in real estate building brokerages and personal brands for agents before making a hard pivot to build something for women entrepreneurs specifically. Today she runs Her Connection Hub, a coworking and community space in the Pacific Northwest, and she is expanding into Northern California. We got into why she thinks too many people are outsourcing their thinking, the gap she saw between hustle culture and the "make a million from the beach" crowd, and what actually separates the women who win from the ones who stall out. We also had a real conversation about sacrifice, about what it costs a mother to go after something bigger, and about how she is adapting a physical business in a challenging 2026 economy. Heather uses AI for systems, never for her voice, and honestly I think that is where the smart operators are landing. If you are a builder who feels wired for more, this one is for you.

About Heather:

Heather Simpson is a business strategist, community builder, and the founder of Her Connection Hub, a female-focused coworking community in Bellingham, Washington. Simpson began offering monthly Connection Breakfasts in 2018, and they proved to be the catalyst for something much bigger. The events resonated deeply with attendees, who then voiced their desire for a physical coworking space, and so Simpson turned that dream into a reality with Her Connection Hub, which opened to the public in 2021. Before building for entrepreneurs, Heather spent years in real estate helping agents develop their brands and helping launch brokerages. She is also the founder of She Leads Me, a company devoted to supporting women on their individual journeys in their lives, careers, and businesses. She hosts the podcast Shatter This, a show for leaders, founders, and builders who are done outsourcing their thinking and ready to create what actually lasts. Her first book, Shattering Glass, is coming soon.

AI is all anyone can talk about right now, but most of us are just getting started with it while the giants have been building it for two decades. In this episode I sat down with Sneha Shah, CEO and co-founder of Hazel AI, who spent nearly 20 years at Amazon and Google as the engineer behind the scenes. She was on the team that built Amazon same-day delivery and scaled it to ten countries, then went to Google as a founding engineer on Cloud Spanner, the global database that powers companies like Deutsche Bank and Nintendo, before building Vertex AI and scaling it into Gemini Enterprise. We broke down how AI actually gets built (yes, it is real people writing real code), why Amazon delivery has always been a losing model, why AWS is where the money is, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom in an LLM. Then we got into Hazel AI, the engine she is building underneath the biggest tech consulting firms on the planet, and the honest conversation everyone is avoiding: which jobs AI is going to take, which ones it is going to create, and why the opportunity has never been bigger for the people willing to get uncomfortable and level up. If you want to hear where AI is going from someone who has actually been in the trenches instead of another influencer guessing, this one is for you.

In this episode I sit down with Kevin C. Roy, CEO of GreenBanana SEO, who's spent the last 15 years mastering search engine optimization and is now at the forefront of how AI is completely rewriting the rules of how businesses get found online. Kevin walks me through his wild entrepreneurial journey, from getting laid off and going door to door offering free websites, to bringing on a 50/50 business partner that nearly sank everything, to surviving a lawsuit from a sales partner who tried to put him out of business entirely. We get real about why most business partnerships fail and what he'd do differently. Then we dig into the meat of what his agency does today: how AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude decide who to cite, why building your author authority and connecting it to your content is now more important than keyword stuffing, and the exact three-block content format businesses need to use to get found by AI instead of just Google. If you run a business and you're not thinking about how customers are finding you through AI search right now, this conversation is your wake-up call.

In this episode, I sit down with Christina Deering, energy and intuition coach and host of the You Unlimited podcast, to talk about something I think about constantly: how the energy you bring to your business matters just as much as the strategy. Christina walks us through the difference between wishing for something and actually being aligned with it, why so many business owners build something they don't even want and end up wanting to burn it down, and how to use your body to tell whether you're in the right lane. She opens up about going through four back-to-back miscarriages while simultaneously doubling her business, and how healing that grief actually expanded her capacity to hold a bigger vision for her life and work. We get into practical tools like the "alter ego" exercise, "trusting the crickets" through the messy middle, and her five-minute energy reset for staying grounded when everything outside of you feels out of control. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still stuck, or like your business is exploding while your personal life is falling apart, this conversation gives you real, practical ways to work through it.

In this episode, I sit down with Austin Armstrong, bestselling author of Virality! and founder of Syllaby, to nerd out on everything happening in AI and content right now. We get into how fast AI video and image generation is moving, why it's getting harder to know what's even real online anymore, and what that means for creators and business owners. Austin breaks down his thesis of being a business owner who creates content instead of a content creator chasing views, how to use keyword research tools to find exactly what your audience is searching for, why faceless content is exploding as a way to build a brand without ever being on camera, and how he personally uses AI as a thinking partner trained on his own voice and expertise. We also compare the major AI models out there, talk about how to actually start using AI strategically if you're feeling overwhelmed, and he shares what he's building next with Bullhouse Ventures. If you're trying to build a personal brand or grow your business with content and you feel like you're drowning in options, this episode gives you a real starting point.

About Austin:

Austin Armstrong is the bestselling author of Virality!, a two-time seven-figure entrepreneur, and a keynote speaker on AI and social media marketing. He's the CEO and co-founder of Syllaby, an AI-powered platform that helps creators and business owners write, generate, and publish video content in minutes, and Managing Partner at Bullhouse Ventures, a startup incubator and coworking space based in Durham, North Carolina. Austin has published over 12,000 videos across social platforms, earning billions of views and millions of followers, and is also co-founder of the AI Marketing World conference.

In this episode, I sit down with Ilhiana Rojas, who climbed the corporate ladder to become a senior Fortune 500 executive in just 12 years — often the only woman, and the youngest, in the boardroom. But somewhere along the way, chasing the version of success she thought she was supposed to have, she lost herself so completely that she burned out and fell into deep depression. We talk about what it actually looks like to reconnect with who you are after you've lost your voice, why building the right circles of people around you is one of the most important things you can do for your growth, and why 90% of women deal with imposter syndrome at some point. Ilhiana breaks down her framework for finding the confidence to speak up, owning your own narrative before someone else writes it for you, and why she's now spent her career helping unheard voices — especially women and Latinas — get heard. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting where you want to be, this episode is for you.

I sat down with my friend Chandler Bolt, who built self-publishing.com into an 8-figure company (north of $80 million in sales) by his early thirties, and we got into exactly how he did it. We talked about the mindset that separated him from guys like me in our twenties, why he scaled almost entirely without social media by leaning into SEO, content, and business development partnerships instead, and the "thank you card challenge" and guerrilla marketing tactics that got his first webinars off the ground with zero budget. Chandler broke down the real profit bridge from seven figures to eight, why hiring to your weaknesses eventually stops working, and his "win the day" philosophy for pushing through the brutal stretches every founder hits. We also got into why he thinks a book is the single most powerful lever for a personal brand, and yes, the story of betting Jay Shetty $10K on a pickleball game to get a podcast spot. If you're building anything right now, this one is packed with tactics you can use today.

Chandler Bolt is the Founder and CEO of selfpublishing.com (formerly Self-Publishing School), which he built after dropping out of college to over $80 million in sales. He's a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and the author of multiple bestselling books, most recently Published. Over the past decade, his company has helped publish more than 7,000 books and works with clients ranging from first-time authors to names like Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, and Pace Morby. Chandler also hosts the 7 Figure Principles Podcast and the Self Publishing School Podcast, and is based in Austin, Texas.

In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany Ward, founder and CEO of Human Creative, the company behind Certified Human Content, a service that live-monitors the entire writing and creative process to prove a piece of work was made without generative AI. We get into just how much of what we read today (emails, resumes, social captions, even "motivational" posts) is quietly AI-generated, and why that's eroding trust across education, journalism, hiring, and the creator economy. I share my own story of getting caught plagiarizing my senior year at UCLA, long before AI existed, and we talk about how much easier, and more damaging, that shortcut is today. Tiffany walks me through how schools, publications, and businesses are using her platform instead of unreliable after-the-fact AI detectors, including a wild example of her own company using it to hire a junior developer. We close out talking about where "proof of human" goes next, from graphic design to physical craftsmanship.

About Tiffany:

Tiffany Ward is Co-Founder and CEO of Human Creative, a company dedicated to certifying original human content in the age of AI. She received her M.A.B.S. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 2018 and authored a successful fictional trilogy under a pen name. She lives in Morgantown, WV with her husband and children.

FREE RESOURCE FROM BRAD SUGARS
DM Brad on Instagram @BradleySugars the word "PLAYBOOK" and he'll send you his free business playbook on how to succeed in business.

---

In this episode, I sit down with Brad Sugars — the Founder and Chairman of ActionCOACH, the world's #1 business coaching firm with over 1,000 offices in 85 countries — to break down exactly what separates the entrepreneurs who scale from the ones who stay stuck. Brad calls out what he sees as the biggest epidemic in business right now: wimpy goals.

We dig into the three stages of business growth (0 to $1M, $1M to $10M, $10M to $100M), why the skills that get you to your first million will actually hold you back from your next ten, and why most business owners have built themselves a job with overheads instead of a real business. Brad also gets honest about his own failures — from team members who liked his money more than he did, to reinvesting $4M right before COVID hit — and shares the mindset shifts that let him operate his companies in just one hour a week. We also get into work-life harmony, the epidemic of loneliness among male entrepreneurs, and why Brad believes the most expensive advice in the world is free advice from a poor person.

In this episode I sit down with Allison Maslan, founder and CEO of Pinnacle Global Network and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Scale or Fail, who has personally built ten companies and helped her team mentor over 150,000 founders. We talk about why the business owner is so often the thing standing in the way of their own growth, and Allison walks me through her five phases of scaling, from the seeker all the way through what she calls the ringleader phase, the chaotic circus stage where most businesses get stuck for years. We get into how to build a team of what she calls scale multipliers instead of people who just complete tasks, why tracking your return on employee matters as much as any other business metric, and how her own burnout and health scare early in her career led her to build a completely different way of running a business. We also dig into her morning vision crafting practice and how she uses alignment to make faster, clearer decisions as a CEO. If you've ever felt like your business can't run without you, this conversation will change how you think about that.

In this episode I sit down with Mauricio Velasquez, a worldwide conflict resolution and emotional intelligence consultant who has trained in over seventy five countries, from Guantanamo Bay to the White House to professional sports organizations like the MLS. We get into why most people are conflict averse and what happens when you ignore toxic behavior instead of addressing it. Mauricio breaks down the difference between reacting and responding, how to spot your own triggers before they take over, and the exact language he teaches leaders to use when someone is coming in hot. We talk through real stories from his thirty year career, from coaching a CEO who nearly destroyed his company's culture in fifteen seconds to a moment in the stands at his daughter's basketball game where he chose to stand up instead of stay silent. This conversation is about moving from bystander to upstander, in your business, your family, and your life.

In this episode I sit down with Brett Gilliland, founder and CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs, who has spent the last fourteen years helping business owners make the leap from hustler to real CEO. We dig into why so many founders get stuck right before the ten million dollar mark, and why it almost always comes down to control. Brett walks me through the four systems his company teaches to build a business that doesn't depend on the founder for everything, what a CEO's real job becomes once a leadership team is in place, and how to know when you're still holding onto something you should have let go of months ago. We also get personal, talking about the daily disciplines that keep us both grounded, including his fourteen "I am" statements that he's repeated every single morning for over a decade, and why taking care of yourself first isn't selfish, it's what makes you capable of showing up for everyone else. If you've built something real but feel like you're the bottleneck holding it back, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Hillel Presser, a nationally recognized asset protection attorney who's helped protect over $11 billion in client assets and written six books on the subject. We get into why "it's not what you make, it's what you keep," and unpack the exact strategies the ultra-wealthy use to become "uncollectible" — from owning nothing and controlling everything through LLCs and limited partnerships, to the real difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts, to lesser-known free strategies like tenancy by the entirety and Florida's homestead exemption. Hillel also shares jaw-dropping stats (you're seven times more likely to be sued than to be in a car accident, and there are over 100 million lawsuits filed every year) along with real client stories, from a woman selling dolls at a flea market who got sued for millions, to the risks of golf carts, boats, and jet skis sitting unprotected in your name. Whether you're just starting your first business or you've already built serious wealth, this conversation is a masterclass in protecting what you've worked so hard to build.

I sat down with Ian Watts, a workforce transformation specialist who's spent two decades helping companies fix what most of them get wrong about their people. Ian's story starts on the east side of Detroit, growing up on welfare, and it's what drove him to chase becoming a millionaire by 30 — which he hit almost four years early, right before his first business completely collapsed in 2006. That season is where he found his real why: building businesses that bless the world by taking care of the humans inside them. We got into why employee engagement is at some of the lowest levels in history, why layoffs are gutting trust even at companies that think they're becoming leaner, and why salary and benefits will get someone in the door but it's culture that keeps them. Ian broke down his ACTS Method for building real engagement, and we talked about the mistakes founders make when they hire reactively instead of designing their team on purpose. If you run a business, manage people, or are wondering why good employees keep walking out the door, this episode is for you.

About Ian Watts:

Ian Watts helps executives enhance employee engagement, boost team performance, and reduce employee turnover in 90 days or less, guaranteed. He does this through transformative keynotes, hands-on workshops, and his proprietary ACTS Method, a breakthrough system developed from scaling an HR department that grew from 6 to over 60 locations and recruited 350+ team members nationwide.

An accomplished author, speaker, business consultant, and breakthrough coach, Ian built his first multi-million-dollar business by age 26. He has raised millions in capital, launched multiple ventures, and guided global clients across 30+ industries and 40+ U.S. states—as well as internationally in China, Hong Kong, Canada, the U.K., Saudi Arabia, and Australia.

Ian’s personal mission is simple but powerful: “Build businesses that bless the world.”

I sat down with Jon Ostenson, a two-time Inc. 5000 founder and the top 1% franchise consultant behind FranBridge Consulting, to break down everything most people get wrong about franchising. We talked about why "non-food franchising" is such an underrated path to business ownership, how to actually evaluate a franchise opportunity instead of just chasing passion, what it really costs and how long it really takes to get one off the ground, and why following the system matters more than being the smartest person in the room.

Jon also walked me through what it takes to scale into multiple territories, how private equity is playing in this space right now, and the tax and exit benefits that come with owning a real asset instead of just a job. If you've ever thought about buying into a franchise, or even just wondered what's actually available outside of fast food, this conversation will change how you think about it.

Before founding FranBridge, Jon spent 15 years in the corporate world, including a long run as Vice President of Sales for Carter's Inc., where he was responsible for more than $350M in annual sales. He then stepped in as President of ShelfGenie, a national non-food franchise system with 200+ locations, where he supported franchise owners across North America. That experience led him to fall in love with the franchise model — he has since personally invested as a multi-brand franchisee and built FranBridge Consulting into a firm that has helped thousands of people step into business ownership, entirely free to the client.

Jon holds BBA and MBA degrees from the University of Georgia and lives in Atlanta with his wife and three children.

DM Brad on Instagram @BradleySugars the word "PLAYBOOK" and he'll send you his free business playbook on how to succeed in business.

---

In this episode, I sit down with Brad Sugars — the Founder and Chairman of ActionCOACH, the world's #1 business coaching firm with over 1,000 offices in 85 countries — to break down exactly what separates the entrepreneurs who scale from the ones who stay stuck. Brad calls out what he sees as the biggest epidemic in business right now: wimpy goals.

We dig into the three stages of business growth (0 to $1M, $1M to $10M, $10M to $100M), why the skills that get you to your first million will actually hold you back from your next ten, and why most business owners have built themselves a job with overheads instead of a real business. Brad also gets honest about his own failures — from team members who liked his money more than he did, to reinvesting $4M right before COVID hit — and shares the mindset shifts that let him operate his companies in just one hour a week. We also get into work-life harmony, the epidemic of loneliness among male entrepreneurs, and why Brad believes the most expensive advice in the world is free advice from a poor person.

This is the second in a series of four workshops and is designed for leaders who sense that the problem isn’t motivation — it’s the system they’re operating from. You’ll learn to work with capacity, timing, and internal alignment instead of against yourself.

In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and founder Sarah Gibbons for a deeply honest conversation about what it really takes to sustain entrepreneurial success without burning out. We explore why hustle culture is a trap, and how intentionality — not more effort — is what separates entrepreneurs who scale from those who stall. Sarah shares how she built a thriving, referral-based coaching practice over 17 years by prioritizing her inner world first: her values, her sleep, her relationships, and her capacity to lead. Together we dig into self-leadership, the courage to pivot, the power of “three-foot tosses,” the myth of time blocking, and why spaciousness is the secret ingredient to creativity. We also talk about navigating uncertainty — whether that’s the LA fires, economic shifts, or the messy middle of entrepreneurship — and what it means to show up as the leader you’re being called to be right now.

About Sarah Gibbons:

Sarah Gibbons is an accomplished executive coach and founder of Sarah Gibbons & Co., a global coaching practice dedicated to helping individuals and organizations unlock transformational leadership. With over 15 years of experience, she has worked with top executives and creatives from leading organizations including Goodby Silverstein & Partners, 22 Squared, Hey Wonderful, The LA Clippers, and TBWAChiatDay.

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Grimes—radical counselor, somatic coach, and bestselling author of Money, Your Friend—to tackle the side of entrepreneurship nobody puts on their Instagram highlight reel: the internal pressure, money shame, and chronic overthinking that silently sabotage even the most driven business owners. Tim breaks down why so many of us started this journey craving freedom but ended up more stressed than ever, and he shares the daily 10–15 minute practice from his book that helps you get radically honest about what you actually want and why you want it—not the Wolf of Wall Street version, but your truth. We go deep on somatic techniques for releasing stress through the body, the dangerous trap of becoming too passive with self-improvement and manifestation, why comparison culture on social media is making entrepreneurs anxious and broke, and why the real shift happens the moment you stop shaming yourself and accept that you’re already okay right now.

Are you pushing yourself to the brink of burnout in pursuit of the superhuman entrepreneur ideal? In this episode of The Entrepreneur DNA, host Justin Colby sits down with behavioral health specialist Rachel Harvest to break down the toxic side of perfectionism and how to find true balance.

Throughout this deep dive, Rachel explains why high achievers often fall into the trap of extreme dieting, caffeine dependency, and emotional suppression. You will learn about the wise mind, a powerful combination of logic and emotion that allows for better decision making and sustainable growth. The conversation covers everything from the physical toll of caffeine on your adrenals to the psychological roots of binge behaviors and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.

—

Rachel also introduces the concept of orthorexia, an obsession with healthy eating that can actually become harmful, and explains why your day actually starts the moment you go to sleep. Whether you are struggling with the pressure to be perfect or looking for a more functional approach to your nutrition and mental health, this episode provides a roadmap for responding to life rather than just reacting to it.

In this episode, I sit down with tax strategist David A. Perez, who has helped his clients save over $1 BILLION in taxes. We break down the fundamental difference between how wealthy people and broke people think about taxes, and David reveals specific strategies that anyone can use—from early-stage entrepreneurs making their first $50K to 7-figure earners looking to pay zero in taxes legally. We dive into depreciation strategies, the Augusta Rule, employing your children, turnkey investment opportunities, and why most CPAs aren't equipped to help high-income earners. David also explains the real reason people like Grant Cardone buy jets and helicopters (hint: it's not just to show off), and why focusing on making more money should be your #1 priority if you're under $250K. If you've ever felt frustrated paying too much in taxes or confused about what strategies actually work, this episode is a masterclass you can't afford to miss.

---

ABOUT DAVID

David A. Perez had been a widely regarded tax pro for nearly a decade when he was hit

with his own six-figure tax bill, forcing him to realize how little he knew at a strategic

level. When an experienced CPA mentor told him there was no fix, David dug deep to

uncover the game-changing tax strategies that rarely get implemented.

David now brings those strategies to the masses on both ends of the financial spectrum.

To serve tax professionals directly, he founded Tax Maverick AI (see below).

Meanwhile, he serves individual investors by sharing actionable tax strategies.

From his frequent media appearances and viral social media posts to authoring three

books, David’s aim is to make the public understand what’s possible:

"The tax code wasn't written to punish you. It was written to reward those who

understand it. Stop being punished. Start being rewarded."

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Wieland — an Olympic athlete, licensed psychologist, and elite performance coach — to unpack what it really takes to perform at the highest levels of sport, business, and life. Andrea shares her remarkable story of being cut from the US Olympic team eight times before finally making the 1994 World Cup roster and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic team, and we dig into the powerful mental frameworks she’s developed through decades of working with NFL athletes, Fortune 500 executives, and Special Operations soldiers. We cover the critical difference between persistence and perseverance, why your goal must be bigger than your fear, the danger of tying your entire identity to a single role or achievement, and how the “Confident Performer” framework — built on a foundational pyramid of human-first identity, whole-person health habits, and elite mental skills — can transform the way you show up whether you’re on the field or in the boardroom. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, broken promises to yourself, or wondered what separates those who reach the top from those who quit, this conversation will challenge and inspire you in equal measure.

Andrea has coached NFL athletes, Fortune 500 C-suite executives, Special Operations military personnel, and high-performing teams across industries, helping them develop the mental skills, identity clarity, and synergistic confidence needed to excel under pressure. She is the founder of the Confident Performer Academy and the author of The Confident Performer: Rethinking Mental Performance for Athletes, Coaches and Parents. Her proprietary Confident Performer Framework — a three-tiered pyramid covering human-first identity, whole-person health habits, and elite mental skills — has helped clients at every level stop living on a wobbly foundation and build the resilience to bounce back from any setback.

Sweet Addison's — Better-for-you, gourmet gluten-free and dairy-free desserts shipped nationwide. Get yours today! Go to -sweetaddisons.com

In this episode, I sit down with Addison LaBonte — former Division I college soccer player, ultra marathoner, and the founder of Sweet Addison's — to unpack one of the most raw and relatable entrepreneurial journeys I've had the pleasure of sharing on the show. Addison walks us through the identity crisis she faced after leaving college athletics, the shocking medical diagnosis of compartment syndrome that threatened to end her running career, and how switching to a gluten-free diet healed her body in just three days — without surgery. What followed was an organic content brand that grew to over 288,000 Instagram followers, a pivot out of a corporate finance career she never loved, and ultimately the launch of Sweet Addison's in January 2024: a better-for-you dessert brand built on clean ingredients and relentless work ethic. She shares the dark reality of her first year — working in near isolation, going three straight days with zero orders, and questioning everything — as well as the mindset tools that kept her going: visualization, delayed gratification, a service-over-self mentality, and her Christian faith. We even do a live taste test on camera, and I have to say — these brownies are unreal. If you've ever felt like you didn't know who you were after a major life transition, or you're too scared to take the leap on something you believe in, this episode is the one to share with two friends.

About Addison:

Addison LaBonte is the founder and CEO of Sweet Addison's, a fast-growing better-for-you dessert brand based in Dallas, Texas, and the creator behind the gluten-free lifestyle platform Organically Addison. A former Division I soccer player at the University of Maine and an ultra marathoner (50K finisher), Addison is the rare combination of elite athlete and self-made entrepreneur.

After graduating, Addison was diagnosed with compartment syndrome and told she'd need surgery or would have to quit running forever. Instead, she adopted a gluten-free lifestyle, reversed her symptoms in three days, and channeled that experience into a content platform that grew to over 1.7 million followers across social media and 1 million+ monthly blog pageviews.

She spent several years in corporate finance before launching Sweet Addison's in January 2024 — a brand of grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, seed oil-free cookies and brownies made with almond flour and organic coconut sugar. In under two years, she has scaled to multi-seven-figure revenue, operates in 30–35 retail locations, ships to all 50 states, and has been featured in TODAY, OK! Magazine, NBC Dallas Fort Worth, and more. She is also the host of the Organically Addison Podcast.

---

In this episode, I sit down with Jen Marr — Human Disruption Specialist, author of Lifting Up and Showing Up, and founder of the organization Showing Up — who brings one of the most extraordinary and hard-earned perspectives on leadership I've ever encountered. Jen shares how being just 700 yards from the finish line during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, combined with her frontline support work after the Sandy Hook school shooting, gave her a transformational understanding of how humans navigate disruption, trauma, and change — and how those exact same principles apply to every entrepreneur and leader running a company today. We dig into why most organizations get communication wrong, why AI will never replace human-to-human connection, and why the cortisol flooding your team's bodies every day can only be overpowered by oxytocin — the bonding hormone that's triggered when a leader genuinely says, "I've got your back." Jen walks us through her "fast and frequent one-on-one" framework, how to handle the emotional overwhelm of employees without becoming their therapist, the growing crisis of "fear of taking part" in Gen Z workers, and how native analogs and native digitals can bridge the workplace communication gap. If you lead a team of any size, this conversation will fundamentally change how you show up for the people around you.

About Josh Block:

For the last 15 years, Josh has led teams through growth, transition, and transformation…with one conviction at the center: people matter more.

After decades of leading at the intersection of business and humanity, Josh has seen what many leaders feel but rarely say; the pressure that never lifts, the loneliness that creeps in, and the culture that quietly drifts when connection fades.

That’s why he wrote
‍People Matter @work.

It’s a practical, powerful call to reframe leadership from separation to connection as leaders seek to replace isolation with ownership, pressure with possibility, and survival with strength.

In this episode, Justin sits down with visionary founder Paul Allen, the mind behind Ancestry.com, to unpack the real lessons behind building, scaling, and exiting a billion-dollar company—and why the future of entrepreneurship will be radically different.

Paul shares his unconventional journey from academia to entrepreneurship, revealing how a background in education and information systems led him to build one of the most recognizable platforms in the world. He dives into the early days of digitizing knowledge before Google existed, the creation of Ancestry.com, and the overlooked opportunity of MyFamily.com—a platform that could have rivaled Facebook.

The conversation then shifts into powerful entrepreneurial lessons, including the importance of specificity in marketing, why most founders fail to think through ownership and exits, and how networking at the right events can completely change your trajectory. Paul also opens up about stepping down as CEO too early and the long-term impact of that decision.

But the most important part of this episode is the future.

Paul introduces SOAR AI Studio, a groundbreaking approach to bridging the gap between knowledge and action. He explains why “knowledge is no longer power—applied knowledge is,” and how AI is about to revolutionize coaching, sales, leadership, and personal development by giving real-time, judgment-free feedback.

About Paul Allen:

Paul Allen is a serial entrepreneur, technology pioneer, and the co-founder and former CEO of Ancestry.com, the world’s largest genealogy platform.

Over his career, Paul has founded multiple high-growth, mission-driven companies, including MyFamily.com and FamilyLink, with products that reached tens of millions of users worldwide.

He also served as the Global Strengths Evangelist at Gallup, helping scale the CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) framework to millions of people across the globe.

Today, Paul is the Founder and CEO of SOAR, where he is focused on leveraging AI to bridge the gap between knowledge and action—helping individuals and organizations perform at their highest level and unlock human potential at scale.

n this episode of Entrepreneur DNA, I sit down with Molly Lopez, founder of Sparrow Marketing, to break down what actually works in advertising today and what most business owners are getting completely wrong.

Molly shares her journey from working with massive brands like Royal Caribbean and Lennar to building an agency that helps small and mid-sized businesses access big-budget marketing strategies without the massive spend.

We dive deep into how even a $1,000/month budget can generate real results if used correctly, and why most businesses fail before they even get started. She explains why marketing is not a fix for a broken business model and why proving your offer first is critical before scaling with ads.

We also unpack what makes a “good” vs “bad” client, realistic timelines for results (3–6 months minimum), and how trust in the process is essential for success.

Molly reveals where she would invest $50K today (hint: YouTube Shorts, Reddit, and X) and what’s becoming less effective, including the evolution of influencer marketing and why traditional approaches no longer convert like they used to.

We also get into one of the biggest conversations in business right now—AI. Molly shares how agencies are leveraging AI today, why they’re still necessary, and how businesses can stay competitive in a rapidly changing landscape.

Finally, we talk about the importance of personal branding, especially for service-based businesses, and why putting yourself out there is no longer optional if you want to win.

This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur looking to grow smarter, spend better, and understand where marketing is actually heading

We also talk about the difference between passive and active income, how short-term rentals can unlock tax advantages, and why most people are overpaying simply because they aren’t planning ahead. If you’re serious about keeping more of what you make, this is a conversation you need to hear.

Charles “CJ” Tarantino is the founder of Tarantino CPA and a seasoned Certified Public Accountant with over a decade of experience working with high-income earners, entrepreneurs, and real estate investors.

We break down how he started with a $2,500 credit card, why execution matters more than capital, what really happens after a big exit, why most people shouldn’t own homes, and how he’s now building a national concierge-style property management company designed to eliminate the biggest headaches homeowners face.

Most salespeople lose deals long before they ever ask for the close.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur DNA, I sit down with Wesleyne Whitaker — a former chemist turned sales strategist — to break down the science and psychology behind consistent revenue. We dive into why scripts are hurting more than helping, why the fortune truly is in the follow-up, and how fear of rejection silently sabotages even talented entrepreneurs.

Wesleyne shares how she transitioned from working in a chemistry lab to scaling a struggling sales territory from $50,000 to $500,000 in just one year — without formal sales training. What changed? She stopped focusing on tactics alone and mastered the mindset behind selling.

In this episode, I sit down with sustainability expert Belen Benitez to talk about something most entrepreneurs completely ignore while scaling their businesses: protecting the downside. We break down why sustainability has nothing to do with being “woke” or environmental politics and everything to do with building a business that can survive uncertainty, leadership changes, labor shortages, pandemics, and economic chaos. Belen explains how fast growth without systems, culture, policies, and risk planning eventually leads to burnout, furloughs, and failure, and why slowing down strategically actually creates more money over a longer runway. This conversation challenged how I think about growth, risk, and long-term success, and it will do the same for any founder who wants to build something that truly lasts.

About Belen:

Belen Benitez is a sustainability strategist and founder of Baseline SD, a minority-owned consulting firm that helps companies turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. With nearly two decades of experience, she works with startups through global enterprises to build resilient, scalable business models that align growth, profitability, and long-term impact.

We talk about the explosion of TikTok Shops, Amazon, and influencer-driven sales and why so many brands are confusing fast transactions with real brand building. Chris shares why viral sales don’t always translate to long-term success, how chasing shiny marketing objects can kill longevity, and what it actually takes to build a brand that people search for, trust, and stay loyal to. We also dive into the agency versus in-house debate, how to properly vet marketing partners, and why treating agencies like true partners changes everything. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who want to stop playing the short game and start building something that lasts.

In this episode, I sat down with Thomas Gaffney to unpack what’s really happening as blockchain and real-world asset tokenization quietly reshape real estate, finance, and ownership. We talked about how mortgages are moving on-chain, why transparency could prevent another 2008-style collapse, and how people may soon pay mortgages and car loans with crypto. We also explored Bitcoin as digital gold, fractional ownership of massive assets like apartment buildings, and why blockchain’s biggest impact will mostly happen behind the scenes. This conversation completely reframed how I see the future of money, real estate, and risk.

In this episode, I sat down with Kam Dasani to talk about what it really feels like to be successful on paper but unfulfilled in real life. Kam shared how he climbed the corporate tech ladder, earned great money at a young age, and still realized he was underutilizing his potential and settling. We broke down why high earners often stay stuck, why active income matters before passive income, and how trading, crypto, and calculated risk helped Kam create real freedom without quitting everything overnight. This conversation is about mindset, risk tolerance, and building income streams that actually give you control over your time, money, and future.

Why most professionals feel stuck despite high salaries

The difference between active income vs passive income

Why saving and index funds alone won’t create real wealth

How swing trading works for people with demanding jobs

Bob broke down how both big brands and small businesses play the same marketing game with different budgets, why brand still matters more than ever, and how entrepreneurs can stand out by being human, transparent, and real. This conversation was a powerful reminder that cutting through the noise isn’t about better ads. It’s about clarity, trust, and building something truly unique.

In this episode of Entrepreneur DNA, I sat down with 33-year-old serial entrepreneur Alex Smereczniak, the founder of Franzy.com — what he calls the Zillow of franchising. Alex walked me through how franchising really works, why it’s far more accessible than people think, and how everyday entrepreneurs can build serious wealth through franchises, cash flow, and real estate. We talk about the hottest industries, the best opportunities, how to choose the right brand, and how the franchise + real-estate model can create multiple streams of income and even multi-million-dollar exits. This conversation opened my eyes to opportunities I didn’t even know existed — and it might do the same for you.

We go way beyond real estate and peel back the curtain on what it actually takes to scale a brand, lead with authenticity, and stay mission-focused while juggling a million things — from fatherhood to multi-million dollar investments.

Whether you're a content creator, founder, or aspiring real estate mogul, this one is stacked with gems. We even touch on AI, his vision for SellIt.com, and the new Season 2 of Owning Manhattan (OUT NOW). This is a playbook episode. Let’s go.

In this episode I sit down with Ben Kelly, a former Army intelligence officer who learned inside JP Morgan how real wealth is built and then applied that blueprint to small-business acquisitions. We break down using other people’s money with SBA 7(a) loans, what lenders really underwrite, and why accounting firms trade at 1x revenue but can exit at 10 to 12x EBITDA in a rollup. Ben shares how AI increases margins without replacing CPA signatures, plus his own alternative cash-flow plays—from luxury assets and short-cycle supercar deals to semi-truck fleets with powerful tax write-offs. We finish with the hard truth most founders miss: build the foundation as fast as you build the portfolio, and anchor the whole thing to purpose and faith.

About Ben Kelly
Ben Kelly is a former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer turned entrepreneur and acquisition specialist. After transitioning from the military into JP Morgan’s Private Bank, Ben discovered the strategy ultra-wealthy clients used to grow net worth: business acquisitions. Today, he runs a small business acquisition company focused on rolling up accounting firms to build a 9-figure exit. He also shares real-world insights through his newsletter Acquisition Ace and is launching Alternative Ace to spotlight passive-income strategies beyond Wall Street.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible power couple, Shane and Victoria Childress, founders of Sava Media Group and owners of a successful RV dealership—but their journey didn't start there. From humble beginnings, childhood adversity, and zero real estate experience, they made a way out of no way. This is the ultimate lifestyle design story: building real estate portfolios, sailing across the Caribbean, living out of RVs, traveling Asia, homeschooling their kids, and now running a media company that’s disrupting legacy RV marketing. We talk business, family, entrepreneurship, bartering, growth, ego, marriage, and everything in between. Their story is raw, inspiring, and proof that you can build a life around freedom—not just finances.

About Shane & Victoria:

Shane & Victoria Childress are the husband-and-wife founders of Sava Media Group and owners of a Florida RV dealership. They built a ~50-door rental portfolio, lived on sailboats and RVs with their kids, and now help businesses grow with performance marketing that’s tracked to revenue—not likes. Their philosophy: live below your means, keep it simple, and build companies that support your lifestyle, not the other way around.

In this episode, I sit down with finance pro Neil Jesani to cut through the noise on tax write-offs for entrepreneurs and investors. We break down active vs. passive income, what actually unlocks depreciation (cost seg, real estate professional (REP), short-term rental rules), why 461(l) caps W-2 offsets, and how business owners can do far more. We hit estate tax vs. income tax, the step-up in basis myth/truth, smart uses of §179/bonus depreciation (including equipment plays), audits & record-keeping, and practical setup for new founders (LLC → S-Corp). If you’re making money—or about to—this will help you keep more of it, legally.

In this episode, I break down the four key pillars that have shaped my success—Mind, Body, Connections, and Business—and why most people stay stuck because they ignore one (or all) of them. I dive deep into the power of mindset, the importance of physical health, the role of relationships in success, and how your business is only as strong as its foundation. If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you’re not reaching your full potential, this is the wake-up call you need. I’m sharing real, actionable strategies that I use daily to level up in every area of my life, and I challenge you to start showing up for yourself.

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and financial wizard Chris Naugle to break down the trap that’s keeping most Americans broke—being house rich and cash poor. We talk about the habits that formed after COVID, the rise in credit card delinquencies, and how people are sitting on equity but have no cash flow. Chris shares his powerful “recycle and recapture” strategy using HELOCs and infinite banking to actually grow wealth instead of staying on the debt hamster wheel. We also pivot to what’s happening in real estate development, how luxury units are failing, and why affordable housing is the opportunity of the next 2–3 years. This is a masterclass in personal finance and smart real estate investing that everyone needs to hear.

Are you making money but still getting slammed by the IRS? This episode is your crash course in keeping more of what you earn — legally. I sat down with Grant Newell, founder of Abundant X, to uncover how personal brands and entrepreneurs are writing off travel, luxury cars, meals, even their homes — and doing it all by the book.

We get into the real structure behind personal brand tax planning, why leasing a car could be smarter than buying, how to turn your kid’s footprint into a business expense (yes, really), and what most accountants won’t tell you about entity structuring.

Whether you’re running an event-driven business, building your content brand, or flipping homes — this episode is packed with tactical strategies to save you 5 to 6 figures on taxes. If you're not documenting, structuring, and planning properly, you're donating cash to Uncle Sam. Don’t let that happen.

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and life coach to the stars, Tim Storey, to dive deep into the concept of The Miracle Mentality — the mindset shift that separates ordinary people from extraordinary entrepreneurs. We talked about what it really means to think big, create uncommon plans, and build the kind of resilience it takes to win in business and life. Tim shared powerful stories from working with legends like Magic Johnson, Oprah, and Robert Downey Jr., and we broke down how success isn’t about talent — it’s about your mindset, your partnerships, and your ability to persist through resistance. If you’ve ever felt called to something greater, this conversation will remind you that you’re not meant to be regular — you’re meant to think, act, and live at an extraordinary level.

In this episode of Entrepreneur DNA, I sat down with real estate investor and manufactured housing expert Thomas Lehman to break down how he's flipping homes faster, cheaper, and without contractors. After nearly two decades in real estate, he found a better, more scalable model—and he’s here to walk us through it. We talk about how interest rates, bad contractors, and shifting market conditions pushed him toward modular housing. From tearing down squatter-infested mobile homes to scaling with precision in Central Florida, Thomas shares how he’s helping everyday investors (and students) build profitable new construction deals in under 90 days. If you’re still stuck in the traditional flip model, this episode will change how you think about building wealth in today’s real estate game.

Key Topics Covered:

Why traditional flipping is broken in today’s market

The nightmare of managing contractors (and how to avoid it)

How Thomas discovered manufactured homes as a scalable alternative

What manufactured housing is—and isn’t

How to finance new construction with little to no money out of pocket

How to partner with Thomas on your land deals

90-day turnaround strategy from land to closing

How to calculate land value and navigate septic, well, and permit costs

Why reputation and operations matter more than ever

Lessons from coaching, partnerships, and long-term market adaptability

About Thomas Lehman:

Thomas Lehman is a seasoned real estate investor and modular home specialist with nearly two decades of experience in the industry. Starting out flipping traditional homes—complete with acquisition teams, contractors, and rental portfolios—Thomas witnessed the growing inefficiencies and encrusted costs of that model. In 2022, facing high interest rates and underperforming crews, he pivoted to a smarter, faster, and more scalable alternative: brand‑new manufactured and modular housing. By streamlining processes, cutting reliance on contractors, and leveraging volume-based finance deals, Thomas now completes turnkey projects in Florida in under 90 days, specializing in double-wides and ADUs. He also teaches and mentors fellow investors, empowering them to reimagine affordable housing solutions and build profitable exits using his proven systems.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Grant Elliott, aka RehabFix, to dive deep into something every entrepreneur battles at some point: back and neck pain. As someone who’s dealt with a ruptured C5-C6 and L5-S1, I wanted answers—and Grant delivered. We talked about how movement, not surgery or rest, is often the real cure. He broke down why those “random” injuries (like mine from rolling in bed or standing up on a plane) actually aren’t random at all, and how small daily habits stack up to chronic pain. If you’re an entrepreneur who travels, sits too much, skips workouts, or just wants to future-proof your spine, this one is a must-listen.

🔑 Key Topics Covered

Why 80% of people suffer back pain—and how it’s totally fixable

Movement > Medication: why rest and surgery are outdated for most

How to self-assess your neck and back pain

The #1 daily movement you can do to reduce neck pain in real-time

The mindset trap of “I’m just getting older” and how to break it

Exercises to do and avoid when in pain

Why most glute and hamstring stretches actually worsen your back pain

Core training for people with back injuries (spoiler: avoid sit-ups!)

Why your doctor might be wrong—and unqualified to help you lift again

How RehabFix has become the #1 online low back rehab program

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and life coach to the stars, Tim Storey, to dive deep into the concept of The Miracle Mentality — the mindset shift that separates ordinary people from extraordinary entrepreneurs. We talked about what it really means to think big, create uncommon plans, and build the kind of resilience it takes to win in business and life. Tim shared powerful stories from working with legends like Magic Johnson, Oprah, and Robert Downey Jr., and we broke down how success isn’t about talent — it’s about your mindset, your partnerships, and your ability to persist through resistance. If you’ve ever felt called to something greater, this conversation will remind you that you’re not meant to be regular — you’re meant to think, act, and live at an extraordinary level.

Jon Gordon, a 16-time bestselling author, about his journey as a writer and the key themes in his books. We discuss the importance of belief, hard work, failure, perseverance, and growth in achieving success. Jon shares his personal experiences of going through the fire and adapting to challenges. We also delve into Jon's books, particularly 'The Energy Bus' and 'The One Truth,' which emphasize the power of positivity, teamwork, and oneness. Jon emphasizes the importance of authenticity and being true to oneself. The conversation explores the power of thoughts and the impact they have on our lives. Negative thoughts lead to separation, division, and dysfunction, while positive thoughts lead to connection, unity, and strength. The key is to recognize that negative thoughts are not coming from us, but rather from external forces. By choosing to respond to negative thoughts with truth and positivity, we can transform our mindset and create a more fulfilling life. The conversation also touches on the importance of gratitude, self-talk, and prayer in elevating our state of mind and fostering connection.
