    Fired After 20 Years… Then Built a Business from Scratch at 50 | Jeffrey Brown | Level Up + Live 202

    What do you do when the career you’ve spent decades building disappears overnight? In this episode of Level Up + Live, Jeffrey Brown shares a powerful and deeply personal story of disruption, resilience, and reinvention. After more than 20 years in the software industry, leading teams, managing complex projects, and building a stable career, Jeffrey found himself suddenly laid off during the uncertainty of COVID. What followed was another opportunity that ultimately collapsed, leaving him at a crossroads with limited options and a difficult question: what now? Rather than returning to the same path, Jeffrey chose to step into something completely different. At 50 years old, he made the decision to pursue business ownership, launching The Grout Medic of The Woodlands, Texas. With no direct background in the industry, he leaned on his problem-solving mindset, leadership experience, and a willingness to learn as he began building a local, service-based business from the ground up. This conversation goes far beyond entrepreneurship. It offers an honest look at what it means to start over later in life, to carry the responsibility of leading a team, and to navigate the uncertainty that comes with building something new while supporting a family. Jeffrey opens up about the emotional weight of career loss, the pressure of providing for employees who depend on him, and the reality of wearing multiple roles as a business owner, from operations and sales to marketing and customer service. He also shares how his perspective on leadership has evolved, especially in transitioning from managing corporate teams to leading individuals in a hands-on service environment. Throughout the episode, themes of patience, consistency, and personal growth take center stage. Jeffrey reflects on the importance of slowing down, making thoughtful decisions, and staying committed even when progress feels uncertain. He also highlights the critical role of communication and customer experience in building trust and long-term success in a local business. Beyond business, this episode explores what truly matters in this season of life. Jeffrey speaks about family, the transition toward becoming an empty nester, and the legacy he hopes to leave for his children, not just in terms of business, but in how he lives, leads, and shows up each day with integrity and purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of losing a long-term career What it takes to transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship The realities of starting and scaling a service-based business Why patience is a critical skill in both leadership and growth How to create a strong customer experience through communication and follow-through The importance of consistency when building something sustainable How to balance business ownership with family priorities and long-term legacy This episode is a reminder that setbacks can become turning points, and that it’s never too late to build something meaningful. Whether you are facing a transition, exploring entrepreneurship, or simply looking for perspective on growth and leadership, Jeffrey’s story offers both insight and encouragement. If you’ve been looking for a room full of growth-minded business owners and leaders who are serious about leveling up in business and life, we’d love to have you join us as a guest.

    Zach Miller Risked Everything With a Family to Feed… And It Paid Off | Sean Meyers | Ep 199

    HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE SAFE PATH… AND BUILT HIS OWN LANE FROM SCRATCH This episode of Level Up + Live delivers a raw, unfiltered look at what it really takes to step out of comfort, bet on yourself, and build a life rooted in purpose. Sean Meyers sits down with Zach Miller, founder of Texas Premier Black Car Services, husband, father, and man of faith, whose journey challenges everything we’ve been taught about success. Zach didn’t follow the traditional script. He dropped out of college, started at the bottom sweeping warehouse floors, and worked his way up through the corporate world… only to realize that hard work alone wasn’t going to create the life he truly wanted. Despite long hours, strong performance, and years of dedication, he found himself stuck, underpaid, unfulfilled, and searching for something more. Then came the moment that changed everything. After one frustrating experience in a poorly run Uber, Zach saw an opportunity others would ignore. Instead of complaining, he took action. With a growing family, no guarantees, and real risk on the table, he made the decision to start his own luxury transportation company, building it one ride, one relationship, and one leap of faith at a time. In this episode, Zach opens up about: The internal battle between security and calling What fear really looks like when you have a family depending on you Why most people stay stuck and how to break out of it The role faith plays in navigating uncertainty and risk The early stages of building a business while still working demanding hours Letting go of control and learning to grow beyond being the “technician” The reality that entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, and why that’s okay This conversation goes beyond business. It’s about identity, responsibility, and the kind of man you choose to become when the pressure is on. Zach’s story is a reminder that there is no perfect time to start, no guaranteed outcome, and no path without fear. But there is a difference between those who stay where they are… and those who decide to move forward anyway. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re capable of more, this episode will challenge you to take a hard look at the answer. Because in the end, the question isn’t whether the opportunity is there. It’s whether you’re willing to act on it. Be Our Guest!

    From Success to Surrender: When God Strips Everything to Build Your Purpose | Sean Meyers | Ep. 197

    SHE HAD THE SUCCESS… THE MONEY… THE HOUSE… THE CAR… AND THEN IT ALL VANISHED. What happened next will shake every entrepreneur, leader, and parent who thinks success alone will satisfy. In this raw, soul-stirring episode of Level Up + Live, host Sean Meyers sits down with May Adams, a faith-driven entrepreneur, mother of three, author, and business strategist who helps women break limiting beliefs and rise into their God-given calling. But this conversation isn’t the typical “success story.” It’s the story behind the success… the crushing… and the rebuilding. May opens up about the moment everything changed, when she realized climbing the ranks, building teams, and chasing “worldly success” had left something missing deep inside. Then the unimaginable happened: success collapsed, money disappeared, and everything she thought defined her was stripped away. The house? Gone. The financial security? Gone. The identity built on achievement? Shattered. But what came out of the fire was something far more powerful. Inside this unforgettable conversation, May and Sean unpack: Why delayed obedience can cost you everything The hidden danger of building success on pride instead of purpose What it really means when life forces you into the “pain cave” Why God sometimes strips away comfort to build character How entrepreneurs can shift from empty achievement to purpose-driven leadership May shares how losing everything ultimately gave her the one thing she didn’t have before: clarity, conviction, and unshakable faith. This episode will challenge how you think about success, leadership, business, parenting, and the journey toward becoming the person you were truly created to be. If you’ve ever felt successful on the outside but empty on the inside… If you’ve ever wondered why life keeps forcing you through hard seasons… Or if you’re ready to turn your test into a testimony… Press play now, because sometimes the greatest breakthrough only comes after everything falls apart.
