With Q4 in full swing and 2026 around the corner, Joe Blackburn and Jason Croft cut through the noise to reveal the three critical areas that will actually move the needle in your business—right now.

Joe brings his signature no-BS approach to leadership development, breaking down why even million-dollar business owners struggle with thinking small, and exactly what to do about it. He shares his proven daily system for dialing in mindset (hint: it starts at your kitchen table), reveals why "the more hands you shake, the more money you make" still rings true even in the AI era, and challenges you to become the leader who develops the next leader.

Jason keeps the conversation grounded in reality, emphasizing the power of simple systems over complicated strategies. He tackles the common trap of overcomplicating the basics—from meditation to team communication—and reminds us that lagging indicators mean the work you put in today pays dividends weeks down the road.

Together, they map out a practical game plan for the final quarter: master your mindset daily, make connectivity a non-negotiable 25-minute priority, and lead your team (or yourself) with consistency that actually creates change. No waiting for New Year's resolutions. No excuses about busyness. Just actionable steps to finish 2025 strong and springboard into 2026.

If you're running a 4-7 figure business and feel like you're putting out fires instead of building momentum, this episode is your wake-up call.

Most people are living in a financial fantasy.

They think they'll retire at 65 with a million bucks and cruise into the sunset.

Here's the brutal truth...

You're probably gonna live to 130.

(Yeah, you read that right.)

And inflation isn't taking a vacation.

So that "comfortable retirement" you've been planning?

It's gonna run out faster than your patience at the DMV.

In this episode, Joe Blackburn drops some uncomfortable math on your head...

While revealing the MASSIVE opportunity hiding in plain sight.

There's a "Silver Tsunami" happening RIGHT NOW.

Boomers are dying to get out of their businesses.

And most entrepreneurs are missing it completely.

Because they're stuck thinking like their parents.

Joe breaks down:

• Why your current wealth plan is probably garbage

• The longevity crisis nobody's talking about

• How to spot the acquisition opportunities that'll set you up for the next 80 years

• Why betting on yourself beats Bitcoin every damn time

This isn't about getting rich quick.

It's about getting rich enough to survive the next FOUR DECADES.

Joe Blackburn tears apart the biggest lie entrepreneurs tell themselves...

That they can somehow skip the hard work and jump straight to "passive income."

Spoiler alert: It's bullshit.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Joe breaks down why chasing multiple income streams before you've mastered ONE thing is financial suicide.

He introduces the concept of your "Gusher" - that one thing you can do unconsciously that prints money... and why maxing it out should be your ONLY focus until you hit seven figures.

Jason Croft jumps in with the tough questions about scaling vs. diversifying... and when partnerships actually make sense (versus when they're just expensive distractions).

You'll discover:

• Why "passive income" is mostly fantasy (and what actually works instead)

• The million-dollar rule before you can play investor

• How to identify your unconscious competence

• Why most people self-sabotage right before breakthrough

• The real math behind dilution of return that nobody talks about

If you're tired of spinning your wheels on 17 different "opportunities"...

And ready to focus on the ONE thing that'll actually make you wealthy...

This episode will punch you in the face with some much-needed clarity.

Stop diversifying your broke ass.

Get your Gusher going first.

Then we can talk.
