    518: The Fiber Reps Leaving Money on the Table (And How He Doesn't) | Noah Eubanks

    Noah Eubanks started painting curbs at 16 after seeing it on a YouTube video. Now he's 22, runs a 60-person fiber team, and just hit Golden Door while earning well over $200K. In this episode, Sam sits down with Noah to break down the problem most fiber reps don't want to hear: the product is so good that it's turning salespeople into order takers. Noah explains why that's costing reps thousands of dollars in missed deals and shares how he still pulls 10-13 sales in fiber vs fiber neighborhoods where everyone else struggles. He walks through his approach to cable bundlers (the doors most reps walk away from), using speed tests to create pain, and why customers aren't buying fiber—they're buying you. Noah also breaks down how he balances running a team with selling: 8:30am Starbucks meetings, split shift knocking, a personal assistant handling admin, and nightly check-in calls from the gym.

    517: How to Lead 50 Reps and Still Sell $830K | 5x Golden Door Winner Brock Grieve

    Brock Grieve ran a 50-man team across four markets that did $23 million in revenue this year. He also personally sold $830K and earned his fifth Golden Door. Most leaders pick one or the other. He did both. In this episode, Hunter sits down with Brock to break down how he structured his days to lead and sell at the same time—morning trainings at 10 and 11am, one-on-ones during off-door hours, and full lock-in from 1pm until dark. Brock shares the early-summer anxiety that almost derailed his run, the morning routine that pulled him out (breathwork, identity questions, deleting social media, phone in black and white mode), and why proximity to people doing what you want to do is the only real cheat code. His team averaged $200K per rep, $51K rookie earnings, and less than 15% attrition. One of his leaders, Kyle Ring, went from 300 accounts to Golden Door with over 90% retention.

    516: "You Suck at This Job." Now He's a 4x Golden Door Winner | Allan Hockett

    Allan Hockett bageled his first two weeks in pest control. His manager pulled him aside and said, "Allan, you suck at this job. Sell five next week or you're fired." He barely scraped by with five. That was 11 years ago. Now he's a 4-time Golden Door winner. In this episode, Hunter sits down with Allan to unpack what changed—from running between doors and studying the top producer to building momentum systems that compound all summer. Allan shares the olfactory trigger he uses to lock in before every shift, why he believes "if you're not drowning daily, you're doing it wrong," and the mid-summer slump that had him in bed for two weeks. He also talks about the text from his wife that changed everything: "If you want to be the best, you have to be different than everyone else."

    514: His Wife Told Him to Stop Being a Little B*tch | 2x Golden Door Winner Nathan Barlow

    Nathan Barlow spent 10 years in door-to-door with almost nothing to show for it. He sold 250 accounts three years in a row, beating his head against a wall. Then something clicked—and he hit back-to-back Golden Doors. In this episode, Hunter sits down with Nate in studio to unpack what changed: the accountability from his wife and business partners, the non-negotiables that got him knocking by 1pm and staying until 9pm every day, and the mindset shift from chasing money to providing value. Nate also shares the wildest door-to-door story you'll hear this year—getting attacked by a lemur in Oregon that bit his lip in half mid-summer. This is Nate's 11th and final year on the doors. He's now building his own pest control business and focused on developing his team.

    513: Colorblind Pilot Loses His Dream… Then Triples His Income in 1 Summer | Mckenzie Goulding & Jake West

    Two Golden Door winners walk into the studio: one has 11 summers with zero bagels, the other was on track to be a Delta pilot until a color-blindness test blew up his dream. Both went on to stack Golden Doors, build real estate portfolios, and prove that identity + mindset beat raw talent every time. In this Golden Door Podcast episode, Sam sits down with Jake West (5× Golden Door) and McKenzie Golding (2× Golden Door) from Aptive to unpack what actually changes when you go from 250K rev to 700K+ and 1,000+ accounts. You’ll hear: - How Jake went from “250 is elite” to 1,000+ account summers - Why McKenzie quit door-to-door, took a 9–5, then came back and nearly tripled his best year   - The Clark Kent vs Superman mental framework (who’s holding the mic in your head?)   - What to do after bageling your first three days so you never bagel again   - The “Dr Pepper 23 flavors” of a Golden Door summer (mindset, work ethic, time, skills)   - Exactly how they handle slumps, self-doubt, and bad days on the doors   - Why filming your pitch and fixing tiny details (like eye contact) can 5× your results   - How they use door-to-door to buy real estate and buy back their time   If you’re stuck at 150–300 accounts or 200–300K in revenue and Golden Door feels “unreasonable,” this conversation gives you the identity, frameworks, and habits that make big numbers inevitable. 👊 CONNECT Follow Jake: @J_Dub25 on Instagram Follow McKenzie: @mckenziegolding on Instagram More trainings, events & coaching: The D2D Experts 👉 Ready to level up your team?

    512: He Made $2.7M After Prison. Then Depression Hit. | Golden Door Series with Collin Bynum

    Collin Bynum came home from prison in March 2023 with 33 arrests on his record, a chip on his shoulder, and a diet of starkist tuna packets and saltine crackers. By December, he'd sold $781,000 in roofing. By the end of 2024, he'd made $780K take home. This year, he hit $2.79 million in installed revenue and set a Texas record—$1.3 million in 22 days during a single storm. In this episode, Hunter sits down with Collin to unpack how his very first door became the most profitable residential job in company history, why he believes the psychology of "not being a salesman" is the key to roofing sales, and the real talk on burnout and depression that almost ended his run. Collin also shares his transition from knocking doors to full-time coaching after training seven multi-six-figure earners this year.
