    “You can be a gardener trying to work against nature… or you can try and surf the wave of how nature works.” Harnessing nature’s intelligence and artificial intelligence together isn’t just a good idea—it’s how the future of regenerative land design will thrive. In this episode, we explore how one visionary designer has turned his passion for plant life, soil health, and sustainable farming into a system that helps landowners worldwide transform their property into high-vitality ecosystems. From the volcanic richness of the Azores to AI-powered plant mapping, the conversation covers deep principles of how to align with nature’s laws for lasting abundance.

    Jun 19 2025
    “There is no traffic on the extra mile.” Creating a true “wow” experience in business isn’t about massive spending—it’s about shifting your mindset from transactional to memorable. That shift, done right, turns customers into evangelists. This episode unpacks how to go the extra inch, not mile, to stand out. The secret? Incentives with high perceived value and low actual cost. Whether you’re a butcher, a banker, or a dentist, adding a dash of magic—what Disney calls the “plus one”—can radically transform customer loyalty and word-of-mouth success. John Dwyer, founder of The Institute of Wow, drops pure gold with dazzling real-world examples. From giving away free vacations with home loans to turning a hotel into “the chocolate strawberry hotel,” he proves how creative thinking crushes traditional advertising. He shares how a Facebook contest and an AI robot helped a dentist convert over a thousand red-hot leads—and why the Happy Meal toy is the metaphor every business needs. John Dwyer is an Australian marketing wizard and the author of The Avalanche Leads Formula. He’s worked with Disney, launched viral campaigns with Jerry Seinfeld, and helps business owners implement low-cost, high-impact incentives.

From overcoming childhood programming to breaking through citizenship challenges, the insights here show what’s possible when you stop being the actor in someone else’s story.

    How Risky is your Pay Check? | Fred Moskowitz
    May 15 2025

    “The average millionaire or wealthy person in this country has an average of seven independent income streams.”

    Most people believe their job is safe—until it isn’t. The false sense of security surrounding a regular paycheck is one of the most overlooked risks in personal finance. This episode challenges the old-school idea that a salaried job is the safest path and introduces the principle of diversifying income to reduce vulnerability and create long-term wealth.

    Fred Moskowitz shares how losing faith in “job security” led him to explore alternative investments—particularly note investing, where your money works for you. From mortgage notes to cash-flowing assets, Fred breaks down how anyone, regardless of income level, can begin building wealth streams that don’t require trading hours for dollars. He emphasizes education, relationships, and strategy over blind trust in financial institutions.

    Fred Moskowitz is a speaker, educator, and author of The Little Green Book of Note Investing. With a background in engineering and tech, he now teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to take control of their financial futures through smart, passive income strategies.

    A Soldier Against All Odds | Jason Pike
    May 8 2025
    “Everybody was saying, ‘How did you do that? How did you do that? How did you do this? How did you do that?’ And I said, ‘Well, I’ll write a damn book and I’ll explain it to you.’” When life hands you a script that says you’ll never succeed—rip it up and write your own. This episode uncovers how consistent effort, raw honesty, and a refusal to quit can transform a supposed nobody into an extraordinary achiever. From failing tests to writing bestselling books, today’s insights show how resilience and reinvention are the true cornerstones of business and personal success. Jason Pike’s journey began with a physical disability, a learning disorder, and being written off by the very people who should’ve believed in him. But instead of folding, he leaned in—joining the military, facing brutal obstacles, and turning failures into fuel. His confidence didn’t come from natural talent; it came from stacking small wins and pushing beyond his limits. Jason Pike is a decorated combat veteran, author of A Soldier Against All Odds, and a man whose life proves that grit, not genius, makes greatness. His story is a roadmap for any entrepreneur chasing the improbable.
