    490 | He Spent 7 Years in Prison for a Crime He Didn't Commit. Here Is How He Built an Elite Life After With Sean Michael Crane

    Connect With Chaz Sean Michael Crane spent seven years behind bars for a crime he did not commit. He walked in as a man who had wasted a decade to addiction, broken promises, and a life that did not match who he wanted to be. He walked out with a mission. Today Sean is the Founder and CEO of Unstoppable 365, a self-mastery program that has helped men lose 100 pounds, rebuild their marriages, commit to sobriety, and build businesses that give them back their identity and their family. In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Sean gets direct about the real reasons men stay stuck, why your "why" might not be strong enough to actually move you, how to build the kind of track record that earns your spouse's trust, and what it takes to reset your identity at any stage of life. If you are a contractor doing $1M+ who is winning in business but losing at home, this episode will challenge you to look in the mirror and make a decision. Key Takeaways: The moment a prospect hesitates to commit is not an objection. It is a coaching moment. It reveals how they make every decision in their life.When you operate from fear and doubt, you never get what you want. Delay is not caution. It is the same pattern that is already keeping you stuck.Most men say their wife and kids are their why. Sean challenges that directly: if that were true, your actions would already align with it.Sean spent 10 years running from his problems before prison forced him to stop and face himself. Most men never get that forced reckoning. They have to choose it.Personal development creates professional success across the board. When you change who you are, everything you put your name on changes with it.If there is no harmony at home, it bleeds into the business. If the business is consuming you, it bleeds into home. The two are not separate problems.Most men already know what they need to do. The problem is they do not believe they are worth it. That belief is changeable, but it requires repetition and environment.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.

    491 | Most Contractors Are Losing Sales Not From Lack of Leads, But From These 5 Mistakes With Chaz Wolfe

    Connect With Chaz Most contractor business owners think their revenue problem is a lead problem. Go get more leads, close more deals, done. But Chaz Wolfe has trained thousands of salespeople across multiple industries, generated millions in W2 commission personally, and built companies that produce consistent sales revenue. His take is direct: more leads do not fix a broken sales process. They just expose it faster. In this solo episode, Chaz breaks down the five core principles that have driven millions in sales for him and his clients. These are not tactics. They are the fundamentals that every contractor business owner needs to install in themselves and their team to convert more leads, close without pressure, and build a pipeline that actually runs. If your close rate is inconsistent, if your team is ad-libbing the sales process, or if you are leaving money on the table every single week, this episode is the reset you need. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a mindset you are born with. It is a decision you make every time you pick up the phone after a no.The more no's you get, the more deals you close. When you internalize that, rejection stops being the enemy and becomes the engine.You should never try to be someone you are not in a sales conversation. Prospects pick up on it immediately and trust disappears.Active listening is not just being quiet. It means your next question is built from their last answer, not from your script.The more deeply you understand a prospect's real problem, the less you have to sell. The product sells itself when the fit is obvious.The sales process is four steps: open, discovery, presentation, close. In that order. Every time. No exceptions.A confused mind does not buy. Keep the presentation simple, logical, and tied directly to what they told you in discovery.Hard closing is usually a symptom of a broken discovery, not a closing problem. Fix discovery and closing gets easy.The best salespeople review their calls, track their numbers, and drill the process even when they are already winning.Average input does not produce above-average output. If you want to double or triple the business, you have to master the inputs.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.

    492 | He Helped Clients Go From $20M to $600M... Here Is What Most Entrepreneurs Get Wrong About Marketing With Wayne Mullins

    Connect With Chaz Wayne Mullins helped a client grow from $20 million to over $600 million in less than five years. He has trained more than 20,000 marketers. He has launched New York Times bestsellers. And when Chaz asks him his number one success in business, Wayne's answer has nothing to do with any of that. In this episode, Wayne breaks down the marketing mistakes that are bleeding your business dry, including why the Boost Post button is designed to take your money, why AI content is making most businesses look lazy, and why being better than your competitor is actually a path to failure. Then the conversation shifts to something most marketing experts never touch: how Wayne built a thriving family life, a high-performing team, and a culture of self-accountability while running one of the most successful marketing agencies in the country. If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ who wants to market smarter, lead better, and actually be present at home, this episode delivers on all three. Key Takeaways: Being slightly better than a competitor is not a strategy. The only thing that creates separation is being different.77% of people can still tell the difference between AI-generated content and human-written content. AI that sounds too perfect loses the reader.Good copy is a dialogue, not a monologue. Shorter sentences, more conversational, less like an English class essay.The Boost Post button is designed for one thing: to make Facebook money while making you feel like your marketing is working.You cannot put a like, a share, or a comment into your bank account. Marketing exists to create customers, not engagement metrics.Wayne's biggest success is not a client win. It is 22 years of marriage and four kids who actually want to spend time together.Presence is a decision. Wayne spent the first seven years blaming the business. The day he changed the story he told himself, everything changed.The most difficult person you will ever lead is the one looking back at you in the mirror.Culture is a reflection of your thinking. Sloppy thinking builds a sloppy business.62% of employees globally are disengaged. Most do not understand where the company is going, why it matters, or what their role is in getting there.Trust is the default. Your team should have to earn suspicion, not earn trust.Over-communication is not annoying. Silence creates questions. Questions create doubt. Doubt erodes trust.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.

    493 | Why 97% of Business Owners Fail at Goal Setting (And How to Be in the 3%) With Chaz & Jake

    Connect With Chaz Most business owners set goals in January and abandon them by March. Not because they lack ambition. Because they lack a plan. In this episode, Chaz Wolfe and Jake Isaacs break down the exact annual planning framework they use inside Gathering The Kings to help contractor business owners reverse engineer their biggest goals into a daily roadmap they can actually execute. If you have been running the business by feel and hoping the year turns out right, this episode is your reset. Key Takeaways: Only 3% of goal-setters write their goals down. Be in that 3%.Zoom out first. Annual planning starts by seeing the whole year from 30,000 feet, not from your desk.You are not missing a revenue number. You are missing the indicators that get you there.Reverse engineer everything. Start with December and work backwards to today.The right goal scares you a little. If it does not, you set it too low.Set goals in every category: business, marriage, health, faith, and lifestyle.Big goals without a plan create shame. Big goals with a plan create belief.Community accelerates everything. The people around you are either raising your ceiling or capping it.Going public with your goals adds integrity pressure that drives follow-through.A decision is a commitment to cut off every other option. Treat it that way.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.

    494 | How to Turn Passion Into a Profitable Business With Eric Cogorno

    Connect With Chaz Most entrepreneurs start with passion. But passion alone does not build a business. In this episode of Driven To Win, Chaz Wolfe sits down with golf coach and entrepreneur Eric Cogorno to break down how passion becomes profit when paired with clarity, consistency, and disciplined execution.

His story is a real example of what happens when someone commits to a long term vision and keeps showing up even when growth is slow. This conversation dives into the principles that apply to both business and life. Eric explains how the same mindset that improves your golf swing also improves your business results. Identify the real problem. Focus on repetition. Commit to the process. If you are building a brand, growing an audience, or trying to turn your expertise into income, this episode will challenge how you think about consistency and long term success.
