  • Ep 173 | When Burnout Hits, Breakthrough Follows
    2025/07/07

    Halfway through the year, I hit a wall—too much on my plate, pressure piling up, and things didn’t go as planned. But that’s where the real growth happened. I’m walking through what I learned when burnout nearly broke me… how I recalibrated, reset, and built back stronger. I share the mindset shift, the 3S framework that helped me refocus, and why simplifying your path is sometimes the key to unlocking greatness. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or feel like you're spinning in place—this episode is for you.

    Key Topics:

    • The Breakthrough on the Edge of Burnout: how chaos revealed clarity
    • The 3S Framework: Simple. Schedule. Stakes.
    • Why Most People Waste Effort on Low-Value Tasks
    • Intentional Attention & Why Presence is a Gift

  • Ep 171 | The Dream is Yours | Building, Breaking, and Becoming with Nate Saxton
    2025/06/30

    In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Nate Saxton for his third and most transformative appearance on the show. We go deep into what it really takes to grow—personally, professionally, and spiritually—while navigating the chaos that comes with building a life on your own terms. We cover everything from managing people, systems, and self, to detaching from outcomes, staying grounded, and facing the fear that stands between you and the life you're meant to build. This one hits different—because Nate’s not just talking about it... he’s living it.

    Key Topics:

    • Building with intention, not ego
    • Leadership & accountability
    • Personal growth & identity
    • Living the dream, not just chasing It

  • Ep 169 | Dead or In Jail by 21 | How Iron Built My Infrastructure
    2025/06/23

    They said I’d be dead or in jail by 21—and for a while, they were almost right. In this solo episode, I walk you through the 3 phases of my life—from rock bottom as the fat kid they said would never make it, to buying the company I once worked for with a shovel in my hand. I talk about the moment I almost gave up, the lessons that shaped me, and how adversity became the greatest gift I never asked for. This isn’t just my story—it’s a reminder that you're always one decision away from a completely different life. I was iron built. Now it’s your turn.

    Key Topics:

    • “Dead or in jail by 21”—the label I refused to wear.
    • How heavy equipment and heavy lifting saved my life.
    • The day Cory Gregory asked me the question that changed everything.
    • Why facing fear and building discipline built the man I am today.

This is the behind-the-scenes blueprint of how I’ve built my life, brick by brick, habit by habit.

    Key Topics:

    • How to Build Confidence When You Feel Like a Failure

  • Ep 166 | The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything
    2025/06/13

    At 20 years old, I was headed down a path that had no future. No plan. No vision. Just chaos. Then one question changed everything: “What the hell are you doing with your life?” In this episode, I open up about the pivotal moment that forced me to face the truth, take ownership, and start crawling out of the hole I dug for myself. I share the exact mindset shift that helped me go from rock bottom to leadership in my industry — and eventually, business ownership.

    This is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in life. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You just need awareness, a vision, and a small step forward.

    Key Topics:

    • The wake-up call that sparked change
    • Taking ownership and building self-awareness
    • Small daily choices that create big transformations
    • Visualizing a better future and taking the first step
