Running a business while raising a family? I get it, it’s a juggle.

You want to grow, make a bigger impact, maybe even reclaim some time… but not if it costs you your health or time with your kids.

In this episode, I chat with Nicholas Kusmich about how to scale revenue without scaling your stress. We unpack what it really takes to attract better clients, why most businesses are ignoring huge parts of their market, and how to build income streams that give you more freedom — not more to manage.

• The blind spot that’s keeping most businesses from reaching more of the right people
• What dog owners and cat lovers can teach you about marketing (seriously
• How to spot your best clients — and attract more just like them
• The danger of surface-level tips and the power of solving real problem
• When it’s time to refresh your offer — and how to know the difference between a tweak and a total rethink

If you’re ready to grow your business in a way that actually supports your life, not competes with it then this one’s for you.

If your version of “success” still has you missing bedtime… it might be time to change the game plan.

In this episode, Carl sits down with Steve Palise, a dad, business owner, and accidental evangelist for low-stress commercial property investing. They unpack everything from leaving engineering to scaling a lean, mean, lifestyle-first property business.

Steve isn’t talking theory. He’s living the dream most of us are still trying to define, debt-free commercial assets, half a million in passive income, and family travel 4 months a year with time to surf to top it off.

We go deep on how you can build a freedom-rich future with simple, smart, replicable decisions that put your family front and center, not just in your values, but in your calendar as well.

This isn’t about being flashy, it’s about building a life you don’t want to escape from. Commercial property investing isn’t just for suits. It’s also perfect for dads who want live their best life.

What if your business could run without you lifting a finger? Would you let it?

In this snapshot, Carl and Dean Jackson crack open Dean’s legendary "Oil Well" model. This is about building revenue streams that pump while you sleep, without you getting stuck in the day-to-day grind.

Dean also shares how embracing his executive function disorder turned into his greatest entrepreneurial advantage.

You’ll never look at your calendar, or your business model, the same way again.

In this episode:

• Why most entrepreneurs accidentally trap themselves in a business that needs them 24/7 (and how to escape).
• Dean Jackson’s legendary “Oil Well” strategy for building revenue streams that keep pumping long after you’ve stepped away.
• The surprising power of embracing your weaknesses (like bad follow-through) to build a smarter business model.
• How to draw your personal "milk line” so you stop doing tasks you should have outsourced years ago.
• Why scheduled, structured activities (like podcasting) can become the heartbeat of your marketing without draining your energy.

Ready to stop being the cow, the farmer, and the janitor in your own business? This conversation will show you how to build smarter, not harder.
