    Soul-Centered Private Equity... and the Depth Behind Real Wealth w/ Nery Gomez

    Get Your Vision Score: 👉 http://visionespresso.co/pod Join the Vision Espresso Community: 👉 https://www.skool.com/vision-espresso Connect with Nery Gomez: 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/nerygomez/ Explore BlackSun Private Equity: 👉 https://www.blacksun.pe In this episode of the Just Grow Podcast, Niko Arapkiles sits down with Nery Gomez — Founder, President & COO of BlackSun Private Equity — for a conversation about what it actually takes to become someone who understands business at a level most people never reach. At the center of it all is one truth: depth in your life is what produces depth in your work. You can't analyze a business at the level Nery does without first doing the inner work to become someone who can see clearly. Nery shares his story of climbing the ranks, learning how to read businesses from the inside out, and the years of personal development that turned him into the kind of operator institutions trust with their capital. From a counseling background to founding BlackSun — a global alternative asset firm investing across sports, media, technology, and real estate — Nery's path is a case study in why becoming the person comes before building the empire. Niko and Nery explore: What it actually means to "understand business" at an institutional levelWhy the ability to analyze a company is downstream of how deeply you've analyzed yourselfHow a counseling and wellness background became an unexpected edge in private equityThe internal frameworks Nery uses to evaluate opportunities, leaders, and timingWhy capital, when deployed with intention, becomes a force that shapes cultureThe kind of depth most entrepreneurs skip... and what it costs them laterThis episode is for entrepreneurs, investors, and operators who suspect the real game isn't building a bigger business — it's becoming a bigger person, and letting the business follow.

    Why Losing Everything Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Him w/ Logan Jennings

    Get Your Vision Score: 👉 http://visionespresso.co/pod Join the Vision Espresso Community: 👉 https://www.skool.com/vision-espresso Connect with Logan Jennings: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/loganjennings_11/ In this episode of the Just Grow Podcast, Niko Arapkiles sits down with Logan Jennings for a raw conversation about what really happens when you have everything you ever wanted... and then watch it disappear. At the center of it all is one truth: the business you build is never the real thing you're building. The man becomes the asset. Everything else is the byproduct. Logan shares the story of standing on top of the world, losing his identity along with everything he'd built, and what it actually took to go back home and start from nothing. By 26, he'd built multiple companies and quietly outgrown the person he used to be in the process — and that order matters. Niko and Logan explore: What it actually feels like to lose your identity along with your successWhy going "home" is rarely about geography... it's about who you have to becomeThe internal work that has to happen before the external rebuild is even possibleHow identity becomes the real compounding asset behind every company you buildWhy the man (or woman) you become in the process is the only thing you actually keepThis episode is for entrepreneurs, creators, and operators who've ever felt the gap between what they've built on the outside and who they are on the inside... and want to close it.

    Get Your Vision Score:  👉 http://visionespresso.co/pod Join the Vision Espresso Community:  👉 https://www.skool.com/vision-espresso Connect with Kevin:  👉 https://www.instagram.com/kfed100/ Entrepreneurship isn’t the highlight reel—it’s the late nights, the missed paychecks, the moments where you’re sleeping on the floor and flying across the country on your last dollar, betting everything on a vision that hasn’t paid off yet. In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Jacobson Jr., who shares the real story behind the success—what it actually took to go from scraping by to working with some of the biggest brands in the world. We talk about the emotional highs and gut-punch lows of building something from nothing, why integrity and being a genuinely good human still matter in business, and how thinking differently is often the only way forward. We also dive into where business is heading next—AI systems, leverage, and how founders can build smarter without losing their soul. This is a raw, grounded conversation about grit, belief, and staying heart-centered in a world that constantly pressures you to cut corners. If you’ve ever questioned whether the struggle is worth it—this episode is for you.
