  • We're Back: The Follow-Up Behind the Follow-Through
    Feb 17 2026

    After a year and a half, Always on the Grow is back with a new focus.

    Host Manny Vargas, That Follow-Up Guy, explains the pivot, the work that happened behind the scenes (the book, the planner, building the brand), and what the show is about now: the unseen disciplines that separate those who start from those who finish.

    This isn't about motivation. It's about the follow-up behind the follow-through.

    The relentless habits. The systems. The moments when everyone else quits and you keep going.

    Starting next week, we're dropping 4 consecutive episodes featuring conversations with high-level entrepreneurs and leaders who don't just talk about growth, they live it.

    Episode 1 drops Tuesday, February 24th at 5 AM EST.

    Welcome back. Or just...welcome.

  • The Mindset of Growing and Scaling your Business with Joni Wolfswinkel
    Aug 1 2024

    "You have the audacity to come knocking on my door, you better get off my property before I shoot you"

    The words were not copied word to word from a Hollywood movie.

    They're the actual words Joni Wolfswinkel had to face from a man in Texas because she knocked his house which was about to be auctioned.

    Yes there had been times where Joni was carrying her baby to knock on pre-foreclosure doors.

    "Doing the things that I wasn't comfortable doing, eventually you do more and more of that, it just becomes natural to you" is what Joni believes.

    Her grit and perseverance eventually made her the CEO of Real Property Management Preferred and co-founder of Texas Turnkey Properties.

    Today Joni and husband manage multiple companies, most of them systematized and run without much of their involvement.

    Joni is a well sought after public speaker on women empowerment and personal growth.

    As one of the top 100 women of influence in housing, she has dedicated her life to achieving success at all levels and sharing with other women how they too can succeed as wife, mom, and entrepreneur in the 21st century.

  • Have Faith after Disappointments
    Jul 25 2024

    "Rebounds are happening at every moment of our life, if you choose"

    Imagine being the team that goes all the way to the finals and then loses. Imagine a relationship you're in that goes on for 5 years and then fails. Imagine building a business for 10 years and then it crumbles.

    What do you do?

    The least thing you want to do is go swimming in it, making it a theme park that you're living in and having a good time around. Because that's where it starts to become a problem, you've lived in it too long.

    You see "Life is full of adversity, life is nothing but adversity"

    And when you see failure, when you face adversity; there's always a chance to reset and restart instead of crumbling, crushing and giving up.

    In this episode you will take away many promising insights as below

    · How do you rebound after an upset

    · How NOT to process a failure

    · How can you reset your life

    Few Inspiring Quotes from the Episode:

    · The idea is not so much in the failure itself, it's in the interpretation of the failure or the mistake

    · We're never going to make a 100% of the shots, we're never going to get it right 100% of the time

    · Life is good when you make it good, life is good when you want to overcome adversity
