    035 How To Be Super Human with Matthew Anderson

    Being super human doesn't mean competing with others or achieving some elevated state above normal humans, it means having the courage to be fully, authentically yourself. In this conversation, Matt Anderson reveals why comparison is the silent killer of joy and potential, and walks through a three-step process to crush the negative self-talk that programs us without awareness.  Why go through life doing an average impression of someone else when there will never be another you? If you've been chasing someone else's definition of success while suppressing your own potential, this episode rewires everything. Let's break through.

    034 Leverage: The Secret to Building Wealth with Jennifer Butcher

    Most people approach money from fear instead of strategy, and it costs them hundreds of thousands in missed opportunities. Jennifer Butcher, a mortgage and financial strategist with 25+ years of experience, reveals why leverage is the secret to building real wealth...and it's simpler than you think.  In this conversation, she and Jerrid expose the Dave Ramsey vs. Kiyosaki divide, break down why the best time to buy is when you're ready (not when conditions are perfect), and share the one financial discipline that shifts people from money anxiety to money confidence: paying attention to every dollar in and out.  From first-time home buyers to seasoned entrepreneurs, if you've been stuck between fear and ambition, this episode rewires your entire relationship with money, debt, and your own potential.

  3. 033 Sales is Half the Equation with Quinn Driscoll

    033 Sales is Half the Equation with Quinn Driscoll

    Most entrepreneurs are obsessed with revenue. They chase the next sale, celebrate the big months, and think more revenue equals more success. But here's what Quinn Driscoll, a business valuation expert who's spent years inside the financials of hundreds of companies, knows that most don't: revenue without strategy is just noise. In this conversation, Jerrid and Quinn break down the brutal truth, sales really is only half the equation. The other half is expenses, strategy, and the mindset shifts that separate a business owner from someone who's built an actual asset.  This isn't about budgets or spreadsheets, it's about understanding that a truly profitable business is separable from you, measurable, and valuable. If you're making good money but have no idea what's actually happening in your business, this episode rewires everything. Let's break through.

    032 How High-Achievers Trick the Universe

    Most high achievers know how to want something—they'll grind, work obsessively, and build relentlessly. But they hit a wall at surrender, confusing it with not caring. Jerrid breaks down the Breakthrough Equation (Desire + Belief - Attachment = Breakthrough) and reveals why releasing your grip on the outcome is the actual architecture of breakthrough.  He then introduces the Wholeness Equation (What You Have ÷ What You Need = Happiness), showing why decreasing your need for more is more powerful than chasing more. When your denominator approaches zero, your fulfillment becomes infinite. And here's the secret the universe doesn't advertise: becoming whole doesn't kill your drive—it activates your creator essence, and creators create.  This is when you achieve more, do more, and receive more. Not from desperation, but from being. This episode rewires how you think about desire, surrender, and the actual architecture of getting what you want. Let's break through.

    031 The Grind Without the Burn with Kendra Cooke

    Kendra Cooke has spent nearly two decades teaching entrepreneurs how to build smarter businesses that let them keep half of what they earn. Not through luck or inheritance, but through ruthless financial literacy and intentional systems. The problem? Most business owners have no idea what they're actually keeping.  Kendra breaks down the financial strategy that most entrepreneurs never learn in school: simple profit-and-loss statements, intentional budget percentages, and the courage to actually track where your money goes.  She addresses the unique financial blocks that keep women entrepreneurs stuck in scarcity (even when they're making great money), and she challenges the false choice between ambition and balance. If you're making money but feeling broke, or working hard but going nowhere, this episode is your reset. Let's break through.

    030 I Died and Came Back with Bill Goodwin

    On November 23rd, 1999, Bill Goodwin literally died. He had an afterlife encounter that changed everything. Then he was resuscitated. From that moment forward, Bill understood something most people spend a lifetime trying to figure out: every day is a gift, and most people are accepting their lives instead of leading them.  Now, as a leadership coach and author of "Priority Living," Bill has dedicated 25+ years to helping people understand what it means to actually lead your life with intention. In this profound conversation, he reveals what he experienced beyond life, how that experience became the catalyst for his "Priority Living" framework, and why the seven pillars he outlines: purpose, growth, impact, rhythm, explore, connect, and give—are the actual path to a life that counts.

    029 You Have to Be a Little Crazy with Tim Chermak

    Tim Chermak doesn't sugarcoat what it takes to be an entrepreneur: you have to be a little crazy. Entrepreneurs probably have deep psychological issues that attract them to chaos, and if that's not you, Tim's direct advice is simple...don't start a company. From scaling Platform Marketing to over $300,000 in monthly revenue to launching John Galt Mortgage based on radical philosophy, Tim has proven that business success isn't about genius, it's about perseverance in the face of crushing uncertainty.  If you've been romanticizing entrepreneurship, this conversation will strip away the hustle porn and show you exactly what you're signing up for. But if you're someone who genuinely enjoys the game of business, Tim reveals why that's the actual path to both financial and psychological freedom. Let's break through.

    028 Stop Being the Bottleneck with Dan "Big D" Sachkowsky

    You are the problem. Not in a personal way, but in a structural way. If your business can't run without you making every decision, taking every call, and doing every high-level task, then you're not running a business—you're running a glorified job with extra steps and extra stress. Dan "Big D" Sachkowsky went from thinking he needed to clone himself to understanding a principle that changed everything: the bottleneck is the owner who refuses to delegate. If you're exhausted, overworked, and wondering why your business won't scale despite your hustle, this conversation will expose the real problem, and show you the path to fixing it.
