Jodi Low went from sole parent of two young kids, half a business debt, and no financial support after divorce to building U and Improved — an 18-year leadership training company focused on heart-based leadership.

In this conversation she shares how she turned rock bottom into purpose, why most corporate leaders manage instead of lead, and the 18-inch journey from head to heart that changes everything. She also opens up about the “enoughness” conversation, why in-person connection still beats AI for real transformation, and the powerful moment Les Brown saw something in her she didn’t see in herself.

What if AI isn’t about replacing tasks… but about becoming something greater?

Patrick Antrim (NectarFlow CEO and our studio “landlord”) returns to the show and shares the exact mindset shift every leader needs right now: Stop asking “What can AI do for me?” and start asking “What can I become with AI?”

In this episode he breaks down:

• Why most companies are using AI wrong (and creating noise instead of value)
• NectarFlow’s Picasso Hire – decision intelligence that finds the right people before the interview
• RAMP – ensuring new hires actually understand what to do in their first 60-90 days
• How to design organizations for the future instead of managing what you already have
• Multifamily and insurance as the beachhead (and why it applies to every industry)

If you’re hiring, leading, or scaling in the AI era, this conversation will change how you think about talent, execution, and growth.

What if the success you’ve been chasing for 25 years suddenly felt empty once your kids became adults?

John Moriarty, founder of e3 Wealth and co-author of The Entrepreneur Playbook, opens up about the moment everything changed. After decades of grinding as a financial planner and entrepreneur, he realized “enoughness” wasn’t another zero on the balance sheet — it was protecting the family he had unintentionally left behind while building the business.

In this raw and powerful conversation, John opens up about:

• Growing up lower middle class and the moment he decided “that will never be my family’s story”
• The painful conversation with his wife that changed everything
• Why he now teaches “enoughness” instead of endless growth
• How an introvert runs a successful wealth firm without burning out
• His surprisingly smart (and compliant-approved) way to enjoy Vegas, wine, and golf
• The one money conversation every parent is avoiding… but shouldn’t

If you’re an entrepreneur, parent, or high-earner who feels like you’re “winning” but still feels something’s missing — this conversation will hit different.

10:00 – The beach conversation with his wife that broke him (and healed their family)

13:59 – How he mentors (and why most people shouldn’t try to be like him)

16:07 – His son’s internship reality check: “90% of work is boring… and that’s the point”
