    "Boredom Is A Lie!" Navy SEAL Psychologist On Why You Sabotage Yourself

    Dr. Doug Brackmann is a psychologist who works with Navy SEALs, PGA pros and founders — and he teaches meditation by putting a rifle in your hands and asking you to hit a target a mile away. He was a high school dropout living in a car. Now he's the guy those people call when the money arrives and the emptiness doesn't go away. In this conversation he explains the genetics behind the entrepreneurial brain, why 87% of lottery winners are bankrupt within five years, why hunting organizations physically cannot scale, and what happens to a founder's identity the day the phone stops ringing after an exit. Matt gets into his own version of it — what he's watched happen to sellers through the Crash Champions acquisitions, and why the check was never the hard part. Find Dr. Brackmann and take the driven assessment at iamdriven.com. Books: Driven and Sheep and Wolves. Want more Matt in your life?

    The Founder Who Sold His Company for $17M: Make the Wrong Decision

    Mick Hunt - USA Today bestselling author, host of Mick Unplugged, and founder who sold his first insurance agency for $17 million three years after starting it from scratch - sits down to talk about where emotional intelligence actually comes from. For him it wasn't a leadership seminar; it was being ten years old and learning to read his father's moods to protect his mother and sister. He makes the case that your "why" is meaningless until you find your "because," that composure is a trainable skill rather than a personality trait, and that the whole cult of the difficult journey is a trap - if there's an elevator, take it. Plus: how he landed Damon John, Chris Voss and Robert Irvine as mentors by simply asking, why he'll never use AI to replace a person but will replace the parts of their job they refuse to automate, the interview question that reveals who someone really is, and why he'd rather you tell him no fast than yes slowly.

    "Don't Follow Your Passion!" VC Investor Jack Raines on Getting Rich in Your 20s

    Jack Raines - writer, Slow Ventures investor, and author of the new book Young Money - built his career by going viral making fun of LinkedIn, then turned it into a job helping invest over a billion dollars in startups and creators. In this episode he makes the case against "follow your passion," explains why he backpacked the world at 24 on purpose (with an exit ramp built in), and lays out why creators with engaged audiences are the next generation of startup founders. He also tells the story of the satirical post - claiming he ate free at 527 Manhattan hotels - that got him tagged to the NYPD and summoned to his business-school dean's office. Part career playbook, part comedy, part contrarian investing thesis on where money and media are headed. Want more Matt in your life?

    "My Heart Wasn't In It" - Ralph Barbosa on Hosting His Own Show

    Netflix comedian Ralph Barbosa sits down for one of his most honest interviews yet.  He gets into his blue-collar roots learning auto body in his dad's Dallas shop, how wrecking his own cars pushed him into the trade, and knocking out every comedy goal he ever set.  Now he's chasing something completely different - cars, his YouTube channel Formula Bean, and starting his career over on his own terms. It's a candid conversation about ambition, knowing when you've "made it," and why the grind everyone glorifies isn't always worth chasing. Want more Matt in your life?

    The Voice Mistakes Holding You Back with Vocal Coach Roger Love

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with legendary voice coach Roger Love for a conversation about speaking, confidence, leadership, and why your voice may be shaping your life more than you realize. Roger shares how he became a voice coach as a teenager, what he learned working with some of the biggest singers and speakers in the world, and how he helped people like Tony Robbins, Tom Brady, and Famous Dave’s founder Dave Anderson build voices that could carry their message. He explains why the human voice is an instrument, why most people were never taught how to use it, and why sounding clear, confident, and emotionally connected can change the way people respond to you. Matt and Roger also get into practical voice tips, including why breathing through your nose matters, how vocal fry can damage your voice, why most people are not actually tone deaf, how stuttering can be helped through airflow, and why people remember how your voice made them feel more than the exact words you said.

    Jordan Harbinger on the Secret to 20 Years of Podcasting

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Jordan Harbinger, host of The Jordan Harbinger Show, for a conversation about podcasting, marketing, trust, relationships, and what it takes to build something that lasts. Jordan looks back on nearly 20 years in podcasting and explains why giving away real value helped him stand out long before the medium became mainstream. He talks about why creators and business owners should “move the free line,” why authenticity matters more than playing a character, and how trust can become a long-term advantage with an audience, customers, sponsors, and partners. Matt and Jordan also get into relationship building, networking, introversion, sales, and why “it’s all about who you know” should be treated as a strategy, not an excuse. It’s a conversation for anyone trying to build a reputation, grow an audience, or create relationships that compound over time. Want more Matt in your life? Of course you do!

    Most Employees Aren’t Lazy, They’re Unstructured

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with entrepreneur and performance coach Matt Granados for a practical conversation about people problems, leadership, burnout, and the systems that help teams perform. Granados explains why people are often not the real problem inside a business. Instead, people have problems, and leaders need systems that help employees recognize those problems, bridge the gap, and sustain better habits. He shares how he built a multimillion-dollar sales organization by finding overlooked talent, giving people structure, and helping them turn work ethic into real performance. Matt and Matt also discuss why “time management” is the wrong way to think about productivity, how teams can recover hours of lost capacity each week, why burnout has to be prevented before it happens, and how leaders can motivate people through truth, structure, and personal value instead of fear.

    He Built PAW Patrol at His Company’s Lowest Point

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Spin Master co-founder Ronnen Harary, whose company is behind PAW Patrol, Bakugan, Air Hogs, and some of the biggest toy and entertainment brands of the past three decades. Ronnen shares how he started the business at 23 with a strange grass-growing toy, turned a small experiment into orders for hundreds of thousands of units, and helped build Spin Master into one of the world’s largest toy companies. He also gets honest about the company’s toughest stretch, when rapid growth and overconfidence took the business from $450 million to $1 billion in sales, then back down to $450 million. Matt and Ronnen discuss why it can be riskier not to start, how failure generates useful momentum, why passion can reduce risk, and what makes a business partnership last. They also explore the ideas behind Ronnen’s book No Experience Necessary and why young people may have more time, energy, and creative advantage than they realize. Want more Matt in your life?
