In this episode, Garrett sits down with executive coach and sales trainer Billie Jo to unpack what it actually takes to build a thriving career — with or without a college degree.

Billie Jo shares her journey from a small town upbringing steeped in entrepreneurship to becoming a sought-after executive coach, sales trainer, and keynote speaker working across industries like automotive, oil and gas, and professional services. She breaks down why the automotive industry remains one of the few places where hustle and grit can outweigh credentials, and why implementation — not information — is the real bottleneck for most people chasing success.

The conversation dives deep into: 🎯 Why the best performers in the world all have a coach — no exceptions 📅 The difference between a calendar and a schedule (and why it matters) 🔍 How a personality assessment should really be used for self-awareness, not just team management ⏱️ The hidden cost of interruptions and task-switching on productivity 🤝 What true accountability and coachability look like in high performers

Garrett also gives a first look at his upcoming book, "Zero to One Million: A No Degree Founder's Playbook," and the two swap stories on golf, football season, and the entrepreneurial hustle that connects it all.

If you're a business owner, sales leader, or anyone trying to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this episode is packed with practical, no-fluff advice.
