We’ve heard ‘the day I lost it all’ before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles, Vince Covino shares the day his $60M empire collapsed and how that breakdown led to a breakthrough.

This is one of the most emotional, raw, and thought-provoking interviews I’ve had the privilege of hosting. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I welcome Vince Covino—serial entrepreneur, CEO of Warrior Sage, and the creator of the Impact Accelerator Summit. We’ve heard ‘the day I lost it all’ before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles.

Vince opens up about losing his $60 million business, filing for multiple bankruptcies, and watching a life he spent years building completely fall apart, right along with his religious beliefs.

The size of the defeat is massive. And so is the story of awakening, alignment, and what it really means to live an epic life.

Vince was the embodiment of the traditional capitalist—obsessed with shareholder value, exponential growth, and profitability. Until everything collapsed. COVID forced his hand, shutting down locations, freezing income, and devastating a company that had once received a $100 million growth capital offer. As I listened to him describe how he laid off 500 people in 48 hours and tried to hold it all together while quietly losing his faith, I felt the weight of what he’d endured.

Fast forward to today. Vince is a powerful voice in shaping conscious capitalism. He’s helping successful founders align with purpose, raise capital from value-driven investors, and build businesses that don’t just scale—they heal. Through his Impact Accelerator Summit, he’s connecting high-impact leaders with investors who want to see your soul and your spreadsheet.

In our conversation, we talk about the massive shift happening in the investment world and why being vulnerable, authentic, and mission-led is no longer a liability—it’s your greatest asset.

If you're a founder ready to go bigger, but you're not willing to sell your soul to get there, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of multidimensional success and what it means to grow a business that actually feeds your spirit. Tune in now, and then visit VinceCovino.com to learn more about how Vince is leading the charge for a better, more heart-centered way to build wealth.

Quantum leaps aren’t magic—they’re intentional. Dr. Nona Djavid shares the 4-step process to shift your energy, expand your identity, and leap into rapid business growth. Ready to stop playing small?

Every now and then, I meet someone who reframes everything I thought I knew. That’s exactly what happened when I sat down with Dr. Nona Djavid for this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show. We explored something you’ve probably heard about—quantum leaps—but I promise you, not like this.

Nona has this way about her, where she combines her background in neuroscience with her experience as a multi-7-figure business owner. And she talks about it, like it’s no big deal to get there. She definitely got my attention. She shares how she started with just $300 and made a decision that most would call crazy—she invested two-thirds of it into a mastermind. Never mind food or shelter… But that decision wasn’t reckless. It was intentional, energetically aligned, and rooted in her belief. In our conversation, she walks us through the four steps that made her leap not only possible, but inevitable. Listen to the interview and find out what they are.

What I appreciated most is how deeply she understands the energetic dynamics at play in business. We talked about how hustle culture has hijacked our success, how many of us are operating from wounded masculine energy, and how both women and men are burnt out from chasing someone else’s version of success. Especially in this avalanche of uncertainty it’s easy to feel like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not moving forward. That’s why we are talking about this.

Nona’s approach is honest, intelligent, and full of heart. If you’re ready to move beyond burnout and build a business that’s aligned with who you really are, please don’t miss this episode. And if you want to go deeper, she’s offering a free 90-minute training on the exact quantum leap framework we talk about here. Just reach out to her and mention the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future.

Tired of fake, polished marketing that doesn’t connect? In this episode, Penelope Holt shares how spiritual principles like authenticity and alignment can unlock deeper success—for your business and yourself.

There are episodes that inform, and then there are episodes that transform—and this one is the latter. I am sitting down with Penelope Holt who shares deep insights in the world of emotional intelligence, storytelling, and purpose-driven business. Penelope is the author of Business Emotions at Work and she brings decades of experience as a ghostwriter and marketing expert for entrepreneurs who want to build meaningful brands.

Our conversation began with the big question we explore on this podcast: Can business and spirituality coexist? Penelope didn’t just say yes—she explained why they must. She introduces the idea of the “Tao of Entrepreneurship,” a path where aligning with the natural flow of the universe actually fuels your business growth. We talked about how people often chase success by focusing solely on tactics, metrics, and strategy—when in reality, it’s their emotional and spiritual grounding that determines whether they thrive or burn out.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode was when we reflected on loss, including my own experience with the Palisades Fire. Penelope’s take on what really sustains us during devastating moments brought me to tears. She believes—and I agree—that our greatest rewards come not from manipulating outcomes, but from showing up with generosity, honesty, and trust. We talked about what it means to give without expectation, to receive openly, and to live from a place of alignment rather than performance.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your spiritual values have a place in your business, or if you’re feeling called to build something deeper than just a profitable model, this episode is for you. Penelope’s voice is one of clarity and compassion, and she reminds us that authenticity is becoming the most valuable currency in the marketplace. After you listen, I encourage you to dive deeper into her work at PenelopeHolt.com—it’s a resource every conscious leader should know about.
