In this episode, I sit down with Sergio Gutierrez — a live painter, musician, and one-of-a-kind human being. Sergio is a flamboyant, gun-toting, conservative artist who somehow blends deep structure with wild creativity. He’s loud in all the best ways: in color, in thought, in energy.

We dive into mindset, gratitude, grief, transitions, and how art helped him navigate the messiest parts of life. Sergio’s story is full of paradox — extroverted but regimented, passionate but disciplined, raw yet refined. This conversation is about what it means to keep showing up, to love deeply, and to live fully in your purpose no matter what the world expects from you.

This episode is honest, grounded, and full of practical insight for anyone looking to lead a purpose-driven life.

Guests: Jeremy Jennings & Craig Neil | Founders of Nser.ai

In this episode, I sat down with Jeremy Jennings and his business partner Craig Neil, the visionaries behind Nser.ai, an AI-powered voice answering service designed specifically for the home service industry. We explored how they're using cutting-edge voice technology to solve one of the biggest pain points for service businesses—missed calls and inconsistent customer communication.

Jeremy and Craig broke down how Nser.ai works, the real-time benefits for business owners, and the surprising ways AI can enhance—not replace—the human experience. We talked about the future of business where automation and personalization intersect, and how tools like this are becoming the new standard, not a luxury.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the home service space or any entrepreneur curious about where AI is taking us. Whether you’re ready or not, the way we do business is changing—and companies that embrace AI early will be the ones who lead.

Today's guest is a true entrepreneur with a knack for spotting opportunity and scaling systems. He got his start back in the early 2000s with an SEO company, where early wins for clients quickly led to a pivot — instead of continuing with client work, he decided to put those skills to work on his own ventures.

In 2007, he launched Mailinglist.org, a data list brokerage that’s still running strong today. It specializes in highly targeted direct mail lists, with a major focus on financial offers.

Then in 2012, an opportunity came out of necessity — a couple of friends needed jobs, one had experience in pressure washing, and he realized he could dominate the local search game in that industry. That’s when Washed Out Pressure Washing was born. From day one, he focused on marketing, lead gen, and team management — not the manual labor — which allowed him to scale efficiently.

Most recently, he’s diving deep into tech with a new venture: NSER.ai, a voice AI receptionist that’s already handled over 1,000 calls and is actively managing live calls for service businesses. The platform will be available by subscription soon, and it’s built to help business owners streamline customer calls without losing the human touch.
