In 2017, I was living in 150 square foot bedroom in a house that was rented out to five other people and I was serving as a doctor to inmates in Nevada. Today, I live in suburban, Dallas and run multiple 7 and 8 figure businesses. I'm here to tell you – what I have done, you can do. The purpose of my podcast is to motivate you to take ownership of your life, to show you how to operate on elite levels in business and life, and to embrace the mindset that you can overcome anything that stands in your way. It's time to go after what you want - and get it.

    Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself - EP 280

    Everyone wants to talk about growth and scaling but almost nobody talks about the moments where you quietly lose respect for yourself. This episode goes straight into that. The real problem is not failure or bad luck. It is when you break your own standards and start saying one thing while doing another. We talk about why integrity is the foundation of confidence and how the small daily decisions you ignore are the ones that slowly destroy your self trust. You will hear how cutting corners shows up in business and in life, and why you always know when you are not giving your full effort. This conversation breaks down the difference between holding yourself accountable and beating yourself up in a way that does nothing for your growth. It also covers why perfectionism is actually holding you back and what it really looks like to focus on progress instead. If you feel off, stuck, or out of alignment, there is a reason for it. This episode will help you identify it, fix it, and get back to operating at a level you can actually be proud of.

    What Raising Kids Taught Me About Running a Business - EP 278

    Most people think kids slow you down. They don't. They expose you. In this episode of The Spinoso Podcast, Dr. Alex Spinoso breaks down how raising young kids forces you to level up as a leader whether you're ready or not. Chaos, emotion, unpredictability it is all there, and it is the same game you are playing in business. You will hear real, unfiltered lessons on what parenting teaches you about leadership at a high level. Why chaos is the training ground for leaders who actually scale. The reality that logic alone does not lead people and emotion cannot be ignored. How your discipline directly impacts everyone depending on you. Why your team will never rise above the standard you live by. And how kids accelerate your growth as a leader faster than anything else. This is not about parenting advice. This is about ownership, standards, and becoming the kind of leader people follow at home and at work. If you can lead in a house full of chaos, you can lead anywhere.

    Andy Frisella And The Million Dollar Lesson - EP 276

    Most people want access. They want proximity, attention, and a moment they can post. But they have not earned it. In this episode, I break down why I stayed away from Andy Frisella and focused on something that actually matters. I did not ask questions. I did not try to get noticed. I listened, executed, and built real results. When I finally reached out, I did not come with curiosity. I came with proof. If you want to be taken seriously by high level people, stop talking about what you are going to do. Do the work. Bring evidence. Execution is the highest form of respect.

    Hire Right or Pay Twice - EP 275

    You don't have a hiring problem. You have a placement problem. Too many business owners get seduced by technical skill and completely ignore the reality of the role. You hire a killer operator, then get pissed when they can't communicate, lead, or connect. That's on you. If the job requires human skills, hire for human skills. If it doesn't, stop forcing people into positions they were never built for. In this episode, we break down the real framework behind hiring that actually scales. We talk about why mismatching skill sets will always blow up in your face and how to properly test for emotional intelligence without overcomplicating it. We also cover the truth about "weird" high performers and where they actually belong, and why your best hires care more about growth than stability. We get into the shift from managing people to coaching and leading them, and why adaptability and accountability are the traits that future proof your business. We also get into the hard truth most owners avoid. Sometimes you hire for where you are today and you know you will replace that person later. That is part of the game. But if you want to build something real, you need to start hiring for where you are going, not where you are stuck. Because the difference between a five million dollar business and a fifty million dollar business is not strategy. It is people. And the uncomfortable part is that the people who get you to the next level are going to cost you. But if you do it right, they do not cost you. They multiply you.

    Money Can't Buy Everything - EP 273

    You think money is the ultimate unlock? I used to think that too, until I spent two years trying to get a car. I'm sitting inside my 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto, spot number 37 in the entire United States. What getting here taught me has nothing to do with cars and everything to do with how the real world works at the highest levels. Here's the truth nobody talks about. At a certain point, people stop selling to you and start choosing you. There are rooms you will never enter just because you grinded harder. There are doors that will never open just because your numbers are good. Access is the real currency, and it's earned through reputation, relationships, consistency, and character built long before you ever need anything from anyone. In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm learning in real time about playing the long game. Why revenue matters but reputation matters more. Why grinding alone will make you rich but never make you invited. And the one question you need to ask yourself right now if you're serious about reaching the next level. This isn't a highlight reel. This is day one. And I'm committed to playing it the right way. Ask yourself: If money were removed from the equation, would anyone still want you in the room? Let's get into it.

    The Hiring Lesson I Stole from Elon Musk - EP 272

    Everyone loves to talk about remote work, hybrid teams, and the "future of hiring." But most of that conversation is disconnected from reality. In this episode, I break down what hiring actually looks like in 2026, from building remote executive teams to why most people simply can't work effectively from home. We also discuss the powerful interview question used by Elon Musk to expose whether a candidate actually solved a real problem or is just repeating something from their résumé. The truth is, the companies that win aren't hiring based on prestige, degrees, or impressive job titles. They're hiring based on skill, accountability, and whether someone can actually solve problems. I explain why skill-based hiring is replacing résumé-based hiring and how businesses should evaluate character traits like humility, grit, and the willingness to learn. We also talk about the one asset that is becoming more valuable as AI expands: human skills. Emotional intelligence, communication, presence, and the ability to read people are now premium currency in business. If you want to scale a company, build strong teams, and hire people who actually move the business forward, this episode breaks down what matters and what most companies are still getting completely wrong.

    Stop Faking Vulnerability - EP 271

    Everyone loves to talk about vulnerability. The gurus post about it. The influencers film themselves crying about it. Brené Brown built an empire on it, and good for her. But somewhere between the research and the reels, we completely lost the plot. In this episode, I'm breaking down why most of what people call "vulnerability" is actually just emotional dumping dressed up as leadership, and why there's a massive difference between the two. Your team doesn't need to know how burnt out you are on a Monday morning. They need you to show up and lead. I'll tell you exactly what real vulnerability looks like, why handling your battles in private is one of the most powerful things you can do as a leader, and how to be honest and human without turning your team into your therapy group. Be real. Read the room. And for the love of God, stop using your following as your journal. If you want to build something, lead someone, or just stop getting leadership completely wrong, this one's for you.

    The Cost of Moving Too Fast - EP 270

    Everyone wants momentum. Everyone wants to move fast. But most businesses don't collapse because they moved too slow. They collapse because they moved too fast without the systems to support it. In this episode, Dr. Alex Spinoso breaks down one of the most expensive lessons in entrepreneurship: speed without structure will eventually destroy what you're trying to build. After nearly selling Genesis and stepping back to evaluate what was missing, Alex shares how rebuilding systems, processes, and the right team became the foundation for scaling a multi-eight-figure company the right way. This conversation dives deep into the realities most entrepreneurs don't want to hear. There is no perfect balance when you're building something massive. There is no overnight success. And there is no sustainable growth without slowing down long enough to design the structure that can actually hold the weight of your vision. Alex also talks about the discipline required to play the long game, why most people fail because they chase speed instead of systems, and the uncomfortable truth about competition in business. If you want to build something that lasts decades instead of something that burns out in a few years, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, leadership, and resilience. Because the companies that win aren't the ones that move the fastest. They're the ones built strong enough to survive the long game.
