Peter Snell joins Brett Gilliland for a thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of faith, business, leadership, artificial intelligence, and energy. Peter is the Founder and CEO of PetroVybe, a natural gas development company, and describes himself as a disciple of Jesus, husband, father, natural gas developer, AI enthusiast, ambassador for biblical stewardship in business, and advocate for objective thinking. His work puts him directly at the crossroads of the AI boom, electricity demand, and the natural gas industry that helps power it.

Peter shares the faith and leadership principles behind his entrepreneurial journey, including why he believes identity, prayer, and trust in God are foundational to business success. He explains how he uses daily Scripture, team huddles, clear guardrails, “progress over perfection,” and a “look back and outlook” framework to create clarity and accountability across his organization. Peter and Brett also dive into the importance of limiting priorities, with Peter explaining why his teams focus on a maximum of three major objectives each quarter rather than trying to accomplish everything at once.

The conversation then turns to one of Peter’s biggest areas of expertise: the relationship between AI, electricity, and natural gas. Peter argues that the real bottleneck for AI isn’t simply technology, but the power required to run the data centers behind it. Through PetroVybe, he is focused on the growing demand for natural gas while building what he describes as a path toward legacy wealth and long-term stewardship. Peter also discusses objective thinking, challenging your own assumptions, making better decisions, and why leaders need the humility to examine evidence before defending what they already believe. With experience spanning oil and gas, technology, healthcare, management consulting, sales leadership, and entrepreneurship, Peter brings a unique perspective on building businesses, leading people, embracing AI, and staying grounded in faith.

On this episode of the Circuit of Success Podcast, Brett Gilliland sits down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, human performance expert, data-driven health strategist, longevity practitioner, author of The Power of Ownership, and founder of OWN IT. Justin shares why understanding your body and building a personalized health strategy can help high-performing leaders live with greater energy, purpose, and intention.

Justin opens up about his own health journey, including the wake-up call of being told he wouldn’t live past 35. His experience pushed him to reprioritize his health and apply the same data-driven principles he had used while working with athletes in the NCAA and NHL. That journey ultimately shaped his mission to move people from reactive healthcare to proactive health ownership. Brett and Justin discuss personalized testing, wearable data, nutrition, strength training, recovery, mental performance, and why simply collecting health information isn’t enough.

The conversation also reveals the biggest health traps facing entrepreneurs and high-capacity leaders: tying identity to performance, going from “all in” to “all out,” becoming overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, and making productivity an idol. Justin explains why being invested in your health is different from simply being interested in it, and why sustainable transformation comes from creating a personalized system that fits your body, goals, family, travel, and life. This episode is a powerful conversation about health optimization, longevity, high performance, faith, leadership, and designing a life you were created to live.

In this episode of the Circuit of Success Podcast, Brett Gilliland sits down with Scott Armstrong, founder of Win The Question, a trust-building training company for professional services firms, and co-founder and CEO of Brainrider, a B2B marketing agency he has led for more than 20 years. Scott works with law firms, accounting firms, consultancies, and agencies to help ambitious, high-potential professionals build stronger client relationships, earn trust, and win more business. Drawing from two decades of experience pitching, keeping, and sometimes losing clients, Scott explains why even highly intelligent and successful professionals can lose trust when they make conversations too much about themselves.

Scott shares the personal leadership lesson that became the foundation for his book, *From Asshole to Ally: Why Ambitious Professionals Lose Trust and How to Get It Back*. Early in his career, a mentor told him directly that his leadership style was making people less likely to trust him or want to be on his team. That difficult feedback forced Scott to confront his ego, become more self-aware, and rethink how he communicated and led. Throughout the conversation, Scott and Brett explore trust-building, the “curse of knowledge,” asking before answering, listening instead of constantly demonstrating expertise, transparency, communication, gratitude, and the importance of recognizing when you are making a conversation about yourself.

The conversation also dives into entrepreneurship, business partnerships, overcoming setbacks, leadership succession, family, personal growth, and the changing role of artificial intelligence in business and marketing. Scott explains why AI should be viewed as a tool that supports strategy, people, creativity, and execution rather than becoming the strategy itself. He also shares practical ways he stays grounded through gratitude, journaling, reflection, and continuous learning. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, business owner, advisor, or professional looking to strengthen client relationships and become a better leader, this episode offers practical lessons on building trust, communicating with greater impact, adapting to change, and becoming the kind of person others want to work with.
