In this episode, I sit down with Bhargav Vedula — founder of Client Igniters — and one of the youngest entrepreneurs you’ll ever hear from.

Bhargav breaks down the mindset and habits that helped him make his first $10,000 at just 15 years old, how immigrating from India shaped the way he thinks about work and opportunity, and what it actually takes to operate at a high level when most people your age are still “figuring it out.”

We also get into the deeper side of success — why money stops being the goal, what keeps you hungry after you start winning, and how to keep growing without losing yourself.

This conversation is a masterclass on:

* The mindset shift that separates high performers early

* How Bhargav made his first $10,000 at 15

* Immigrating from India and using it as fuel

* What “operating at a high level” really looks like day-to-day

* Why you need a purpose bigger than money to keep scaling

* The habits and standards that create long-term success

If you’re a young entrepreneur — or you want to think, work, and execute like one — this episode will change how you see what’s possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Austin Netzley — business growth strategist and founder of 2X — to break down what really happens when entrepreneurs scale the wrong way.

Austin opens up about the moment he had to call 911 from an anxiety attack while building his first business — and how burnout, chaos, and reactive leadership almost cost him everything.

This conversation is a masterclass on:

- Why most founders get stuck at $50k–$250k/month

- How to build a business that runs without you

- The difference between a 6-figure hustler and a 7-figure CEO

- Why systems, not hustle, create freedom

- How to scale profitably without chaos or burnout
