    Finding Purpose Through Hunting with Christian Zeron

    On the Hunt for Success podcast, the host interviews Christian Zoron, a longtime entrepreneur and watch enthusiast, about building resilience in business, balancing pride in hard work with financial outcomes, and staying principled even when it costs views or money. Zoron explains how he started Theo and Harris at 19 flipping vintage watches and later shifted most of his time to a marketing and consulting firm doing small and mid-size business strategy and commercial production. He describes souring on social media and content creation, then returning after his first hunt—a Louisiana duck hunt—sparked renewed passion and viral success. Zoron discusses rapidly taking up turkey, hog, goose, dove, and upcoming moose and potential bear hunts, how hunting community culture feels more welcoming than the watch world, and previews a new long-form series, “Meeting America,” focused on reconnecting with nature and American values. 00:00 Entrepreneur Roots 02:48 Watches Into Business 05:58 Handling Business Lows 09:00 Principles Over Clicks 11:20 Back To Content 15:37 First Duck Hunt 16:31 Chasing Adrenaline Hunts 19:40 Going Public Reluctantly 24:48 Outsider Honesty Wins 27:58 Hunting Vs Watch Culture 29:34 Hunters Everywhere Connect 30:16 Food Source Reality Check 32:23 Cooking And Better Stories 34:38 Hunting As Equalizer 38:51 Online Vs In Person 41:36 Upcoming Hunts Calendar 44:50 Camaraderie And Outdoors 47:21 Meeting America Mission 49:32 Private Equity Rollups Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Private Market Funds with Chris Norton

    Dr. Sam McGough interviews financial advisor Chris Norton about his shift from traditional wealth management into sourcing late-stage private-company shares (e.g., SpaceX, xAI, Palantir) for high-net-worth clients through funds that buy access via investment banks, VCs on cap tables, and employee liquidity events. Norton explains how companies staying private longer moves value creation to private markets, why major banks reserve these deals for ultra-wealthy clients, and how his firm separates a traditional RIA business from the private fund operation. He outlines due diligence focused heavily on counterparty credibility, his ideal client allocating 10–20% for higher-growth opportunities, and lessons on maintaining a stable financial foundation while not market-timing. They discuss wins (SpaceX, HydroForum) and losses (Energy Vault), missed opportunities (Anthropic), and briefly connect investing and business lessons to fishing experiences and client selection. 00:00 Meet Chris Norton 01:58 Accessing Private Shares 05:19 Fund Operations Roles 07:38 Ideal Investor Profile 11:28 Wins and Losses Stories 15:02 SpaceX Long Term Thesis 19:50 Deal Flow Sectors Strategy 22:19 Investor Playbook Foundation 28:28 Fishing Life Lessons 32:40 Big Wins Investing 36:14 Firing Bad Customers 39:48 Tarpon Kayak Wakeup 42:37 Deals That Got Away Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Hooked on Success with Dan Beaudoin

    Dr. Sam McGough interviews Dan Beaudoin, president and CEO of DMF Bait Company, whose live bait is sold in about 12,000 U.S. stores and has been in business 49 years. Beaudoin shares how the company began when his father, uncle, and a friend—Michigan teachers seeking summer income—were drawn into a red-worm “buyback” scam, then pivoted into supplying nightcrawlers after discovering demand from bait shops, despite nightcrawlers’ difficult sourcing and inability to reproduce in captivity. Key turning points included landing Kmart in the early 1980s, surviving a 1988 drought by shipping at a loss, and later expanding into Walmart, Bass Pro, and Cabela’s while developing proprietary nationwide shipping and packaging systems. He defines success as making DMF the “Kleenex of live bait,” emphasizes humility and culture, and describes DMF’s new tackle-line expansion for convenience stores. 00:00 Meet Dan Beaudoin 01:42 Worm Scam Origins 04:03 Nightcrawler Reality Check 11:01 Dan Joins the Business 19:05 Power Outage Worm Chaos 25:01 Landing Walmart and Big Box 32:26 Catawba Worm Goldmine 33:43 Defining Real Success 41:42 Building Lasting Culture 45:20 Leadership and Morale 52:29 Where to Buy DMF 54:18 Garlic Worm Proof Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Freedom After an Exit with Brian McNally

    Dr. Sam McGough interviews Brian McNally, a Philadelphia working-class entrepreneur who exited a healthcare revenue-cycle business and is now writing a book, launching coaching, and developing a “founder operating system” focused on building a sellable asset by designing with the end in mind, setting a clear revenue target, replacing founder dependency, and keeping operations clean for an eventual buyer. McNally reflects on lessons from the exit, especially missed advanced tax strategies, and emphasizes defining personal success as freedom, health, family, and fulfillment rather than chasing societal “magic numbers.” He describes a major 2020 COVID-driven business downturn that triggered a spiral, then a disciplined turnaround using strict routines, fitness, jujitsu, and self-trust. He discusses purpose-driven entrepreneurship, charitable work with performance-based frameworks, his late-life MMA fight journey, and future plans including selective equity partnerships and digital products. 00:00 Meet Brian McNally 02:34 Rejecting The Fixed Income Life 07:36 Building A Sellable Company 12:05 Exit Regrets And Tax Moves 14:20 Defining Freedom And Enough 19:57 Post Exit Mission And Impact 27:19 Self Trust And Fix The Founder 30:36 Fitness Goals That Matter 32:00 Hunting Shape Reality Check 36:25 Family Reaction To Fighting 42:36 Performance Based Charity 45:41 Nature Hunting And Tradition 50:06 Where To Find Brian Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Trades Will Create the Next Millionaires with Ben Jordan

    On the Hunt for Success podcast, Dr. Sam McGough sits down with Ben Jordan, a plumbing and HVAC entrepreneur, coach, and lifelong hunter who believes the skilled trades are positioned to create a new generation of millionaires. Jordan shares how reaching a breaking point led him to lose 120 pounds while running a growing company, why creating content became part of his responsibility to help others, and how service businesses can grow by focusing on root problems, consistent standards, and genuinely serving customers instead of simply chasing leads. He explains why he believes tradespeople often underestimate the businesses they’ve built and how changing the perception of blue-collar work could change thousands of lives. Jordan also shares stories from growing up elk hunting in Colorado, traveling to hunt with the great-aunt who helped raise him, and creating hunting experiences with his own family. He and Sam explore the similarities between hunting and entrepreneurship, including learning to enjoy preparation, embracing the work that comes after the win, continually raising your standards, and refusing to plateau. Jordan also discusses his plans to expand his coaching business, sell his plumbing company, help create 1,000 millionaires over the next decade, and why investing in yourself and your team can produce a greater return than any financial investment. 00:00 The Next Millionaires 00:34 Hunt For Success 01:11 Losing 120 Pounds 03:03 Content That Changes Lives 04:21 Opportunity In The Trades 07:20 Service Versus Fixing Problems 10:16 Finding The Root Cause 11:26 Systems Standards And Consistency 12:38 Growing Up Hunting 14:13 Hunting Dreams Become Reality 15:15 Hunting With Family 20:01 Now The Work Begins 20:44 Never Plateau In Business 21:21 Hunting And Raising Standards 22:25 Elk Versus Whitetail 25:47 Changing The Trades 27:16 Blue Collar Perception 28:38 Creating 1,000 Millionaires 31:39 Investing In Yourself 32:25 Building Great Teams 33:07 Living Up To Your Potential Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Hunting and Fitness After 40 with Ken Wall

    On the Hunt for Success podcast, Dr. Sam McGough interviews Ken Wall, a 30-year fitness industry veteran, coach, author, and lifelong hunter from Pennsylvania who focuses on helping men and women over 40 regain fitness with less pain and lower risk. Wall explains how early injuries led him to study exercise science, how the industry shifted from looking good to “being good,” and why recovery depends on sleep, nutrition, stress management, and adjusting training to minimize risk. He discusses mobility as a major limiter for men, strength deficits in women, and his own routine of daily mobility and three weekly strength sessions. Wall shares lessons about maintaining health before it’s lost, parallels between business and fitness, and redefining success around peace of mind, family time, and relationships, especially after COVID and exiting a company. He also describes his book Hunting Beyond Limits, blending practical hunter-focused fitness with hunting stories, and how hunting offers spiritual reset and time in the tree. 00:00 Season Never Ends 02:19 Ken Wall Background 03:24 Fitness After 40 07:25 Recovery And Risk 09:25 Hunting Beyond Limits 11:58 Hunter Fitness Basics 13:52 Comfort Versus Capability 15:36 Cold Weather Gear 17:56 Ken Training Routine 19:02 Mobility And Nolan Ryan 28:16 Business And Relationships 34:05 Redefining Success 40:40 Weathering Business Storms 43:36 One Lesson For Life 45:56 All Or Nothing Trap 48:40 Wiring Kids For Hard Things 50:56 Phones Changed Childhood 57:01 Senses In The Woods 59:51 Book Resources And Coaching Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    Seven Stages of Business Success with Carl Gould

    Dr. Sam McGough interviews business growth expert Carl Gould of Seven Stage Advisors about his entrepreneurial path from starting and selling landscaping and construction/development businesses to coaching since 1990 and building Seven Stage Advisors in 2002. Gould explains how he developed a framework linking an owner’s behavioral style to business strengths and blind spots across strategy, business development, operations, and finance, and says he can drive 10%–30% revenue growth by addressing those blind spots. He highlights common constraints including poor pricing, trying to be everything to everyone, lack of strategic planning, and feast-or-famine business development, emphasizing consistent funnel activity and building scalable systems. Gould discusses hypergrowth (20%+ annual growth), “seasons” of society and buying behavior, the value of focusing on ideal client avatars, and creating an “obnoxious offer” that is premium in value and targeted to a core audience. 00:00 When It Gets Easy 00:25 Podcast Intro 01:00 Meet Carl Gould 02:12 From Injury To Business 03:27 Becoming A Coach 05:28 Business Mirrors Owner 09:34 Pricing Mistakes Early 11:25 Choose Your Audience 15:12 Brand Rules Examples 17:02 Hypergrowth Seasons 25:21 Know Your Avatar 28:45 Selling Multiple Avatars 30:05 Biz Dev Blind Spots 30:36 Escape Feast Famine 35:18 Growth vs Scaling Systems 36:50 Bigger Truck Infrastructure 40:39 Fishing Lessons for Business 46:09 Hunting Trips and Reset 48:20 Entrepreneur Rhythms and Family 51:59 Advice Pricing and Offers 53:51 Obnoxious Offer Wrap Up 54:56 Where to Find Carl 55:22 Final Sign Off Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.

    The Hustle Mindset: Scaling Enterprise Leadership with Matt Fourie

    On the Hunt for Success podcast, Sam interviews Matt Fourie, a senior enterprise leader at Siemens Digital Industries Software who leads the General Motors business. Matt describes growing up in South Africa with early exposure to hunting through his father, later moving away from hunting due to lifestyle and restrictive gun culture, and rediscovering hunting after moving to the U.S. around age 30. He connects South Africa’s “hustle” environment to resilience, work ethic, and restarting at the bottom in America without a degree or network. Matt discusses traits of high performers—grit, faith in Christ, mentorship, humility, authenticity, and “over deliver”—and shares a major career setback running an electroplating company that taught him not to chase money unprepared. The conversation ties hunting lessons—pursuit, patience, preparation, and saying no—to leadership, integrity, and sales ethics, alongside talk of rifles, cartridges, SCI convention impressions, and defining success as faith, family legacy, excellence, and time wealth. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:21 Growing Up South African 01:57 Early Hunting Roots 03:54 Hustle Mindset and Work Ethic 06:12 Starting Over in America 07:56 High Performers and Mentors 10:14 When Business Goes Sideways 12:02 Hard Lessons and Faith 15:32 Gear Talk and Gunworks Rifles 18:30 South Africa Hunt Stories 20:35 Hunting Mindset for Business 23:49 Outlasting the Game 24:10 Hunting Decisions and Saying No 24:48 Dangerous Game Preparation 26:11 Sales Integrity and Risk 27:59 Four-Part Decision Filter 29:20 Defining Success and Legacy 31:45 Time Wealth and Exits 34:14 SCI Show Guns and Money 38:51 Africa Rifles and Long Shots 41:29 Final Thanks and Wrap Thanks for listening, and please share this episode with someone who's building more than a business, someone who's building a life worth living.
