When most people start winning, they throw their feet up, take a breath, maybe even post some self-congratulatory BS on LinkedIn. Not me.

That’s exactly when I tighten the screws and ask, “Where are we slipping?”

In this episode of The Boardroom Podcast, we break down what happens behind the scenes when we hit a growth spurt and why coasting is the fastest path to crashing.

We’re in a season where things are heating up at Charlie. Leads are flowing, clients are enrolling, and momentum’s picking up steam. But that’s not a cue to celebrate.

That’s the red flag to go harder, clean up the backend, expose the weak links, and raise the damn standard.

If you’ve ever had a taste of momentum and thought about easing up, this one will punch you in the gut.

Me and Tikis talk about building real systems, exposing cracks when things feel good, and why talent won’t save you if your backend sucks.

You’ll hear how we’re turning our CX team into killers, overhauling our AM systems, and getting ready to scale without breaking the machine. If you think growth is your green light to relax, this will snap you out of it.

Tap in. Stay calm. Change lives. Run business on your terms.

What’s up fam.

On this episode of The Boardroom Podcast I’m breaking down the secret AI hiring system we built to scale our team faster than ever.

If you’re still hiring the old way you’re already behind.

I’m showing you how we used a custom GPT to screen candidates grade resumes and hire top talent fast without sacrificing culture or values.

We went from 200 resumes to 3 A-players in just 2 weeks.

I’m sharing the exact process of how we built it and the championship DNA I look for in every hire.

Commitment. Caring. Competence. Obsession.

If they don’t have it they’re out.

If you’re serious about scaling your team, building a business that wins or leveraging AI inside your company you need this episode.

Let’s get it.

February was rough. Like really rough.

We lost accounts, the product broke in ways we didn’t expect, and we had to make some hard decisions on the team side.

In this episode, we discussed what it actually looks like when things hit the fan, not just how we dealt with it, but how we made decisions under pressure without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Tikis and I also break down why we said no to Blue Chip for a year and a half… and why saying yes too early would’ve tanked everything.

Timing matters. Discipline matters.

And sometimes the best move is the one you don’t make, until the team, product, and vision are aligned.

If you're building, scaling, or just trying to stay alive in the chaos, this episode is for you.

We don’t glamorize business here, we keep it real.

SDRs and BDRs are about to be irrelevant.

In this episode, I break down how AI tools like Charlie are taking over the front end of the sales process, qualifying leads with real financial data and moving them straight to the closer without friction.

No more fake discovery calls, no more wasted time.

Just sharp segmentation, fast decisions, and a sales flow that actually respects your calendar.

We also get into why feeding the right data back to Facebook changes the entire game, how energy management beats time management every time, and what happened when we finally cut the dead weight on our dev team.

If you’re serious about building a lean, profitable sales machine, this episode is not optional.

I'm breaking down the raw truth about handling underperforming employees in this episode. No corporate BS - just real lessons I've learned from both sides of the table.

You'll learn my four C's of leadership that changed everything for me, and why you need solid data before making any moves.

If you're dealing with this headache right now or building your first team, I'm showing you exactly how to create an environment where people can win - and how to know when it's time to get them off the bus.

Look, nothing great gets built without great people. But you gotta know the difference between someone who needs support and someone who's just not it.

What’s the best way to bring in high-ticket clients without driving yourself crazy?

Which sales funnels make money, and which ones are a complete waste of time?

In this episode, me and Tikis break it all down—no fluff, no theory, just real experience from what we’ve actually tested (and what we’ll never touch again).

We’ve tried it all. DM ads, VSLs, webinars, challenge funnels, group communities…

Some work fast but will burn you out. Others take more effort upfront but scale like crazy once you get them dialed in.

And then there are the ones that straight-up suck. We’re giving you the real playbook—what’s worth your time, what to avoid, and how to stop throwing money at things that don’t work.

If you’re running a high-ticket business (or trying to), you need to hear this.

If you’re starting from scratch and need quick cash, or you’re looking to scale past $100K months without working 24/7, we got you covered.

Here’s what we get into:

• The fastest funnel for making money TODAY (no tech, no crazy setup, just results)
• The funnel that WILL burn you out (if you’re doing this, you need an exit plan)
• The one we swear by for long-term growth and real scalability
• Why most people fail at funnels—and how to actually make one work
• Our personal ranking of the best and worst funnels (no BS, just facts)

Want us to build out a high-converting VSL funnel for you? Reach out and let’s see if you’re a fit.

Yo! What's up, everyone?

Back with another episode where we're getting REAL about something that's driving me crazy - watching good entrepreneurs destroy their businesses because they can't stop changing shit.

Tikis and I have seen it all - from people nuking $20K/month funnels because some guru told them to, to entrepreneurs with "squirrel syndrome" chasing every shiny new strategy they see on YouTube.

Today, we're calling out the BS and showing you how to do it right.

This episode is straightforward for anyone feeling stuck or tempted to flip tables in their business.

We're showing you exactly how to know when (and how) to make changes that actually move the needle.

Stay calm, change lives, and let's build a business on your terms.
