    From Control to Leadership: The Real Secret to Building a Scalable Business

    In this insightful episode of The Joy of Living Podcast, Barry Shore welcomes CFO, valuation architect, and author Matteo Turi for a deep conversation on what truly creates long-term business value in today’s rapidly changing economy.

Instead, the companies that thrive are the ones that build strong intellectual property, create transferable leadership systems, and focus on delivering real value to customers. Together, Barry and Matteo explore the principles behind Matteo’s High Valuation Triangle — a framework designed to help businesses scale, attract investors, strengthen leadership, and increase enterprise value. The conversation also dives into the powerful cycle of “Fail, Pivot, Scale,” showing how setbacks and reinvention are often necessary steps toward lasting success. Through practical examples, business insights, and Barry’s uplifting perspective on purpose and mindset, this episode offers valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, founders, consultants, and anyone looking to build a stronger, more resilient business.

    From Court to Corporate: John Mengelt on Discipline, Money & Life After Sports

    In this thought-provoking episode of The Joy of Living, Barry Shore sits down with former pro basketball player and accomplished businessman John Mengelt to unpack one of the most complex issues in modern sports—the rise of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) and its impact on young athletes. What starts as a conversation about college sports quickly evolves into a deeper exploration of money, mindset, and maturity. John brings a rare perspective, having lived both sides—first as an elite athlete and later as a successful professional in business. Together, they dive into the realities behind the headlines: young athletes earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, the pressure of social media, and the harsh truth that only a small percentage will go pro. This episode goes beyond sports. It's about identity, discipline, communication, and the critical role of education in building a sustainable life. Barry and John challenge listeners to rethink success—not as fame or fast money, but as long-term purpose, responsibility, and personal growth. If you've ever wondered what really happens after the spotlight fades, this conversation delivers insight that is both eye-opening and deeply relevant. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
