  • The PEST Rookie Record Holder: Dallin Peterson (Grit)
    Feb 3 2026

    Not hype.
    Not luck.
    Not “natural talent.”

    In this episode, Andy sits down with Dallin Peterson, a rookie who did something almost no one does — hit a Golden Door in his first year, finishing with 752 accounts and ~$750,000 in revenue in just five months.

    But here’s what makes this episode different:
    Dallin didn’t “get hot.”
    He didn’t coast on momentum.
    He trained like a professional before he ever knocked a door30–40 hours a week for five straight months — then showed up every day through anxiety, loneliness, and exhaustion.

    This episode breaks down:

    • Why Dallin dropped out of school to fully commit — and why that decision changed everything
    • The off-season training blueprint that turned free preparation into ~$300/hour production
    • How to stay consistent when motivation is gone and discipline is all you have left
    • Why doing the math kills momentum — and what to focus on instead
    • How elite reps think when they’re off-track, off-pace, and doubting themselves
    • The mindset shift that separates good reps, great reps, and true GOATs

    If you’ve ever:

    • Felt behind on your goals
    • Wondered if you’re “cut out” for elite performance
    • Hit a plateau and didn’t know how to break through
    • Wanted to know what obsession actually looks like in practice

    This episode will reset how you think about preparation, pressure, and what it really costs to win.

    Listen if you’re serious about leveling up — not just talking about it.

  • Walking Away From a Million-Dollar Backend w/ Jake Robles
    Dec 2 2025

    BUILDING A PERSONAL BRAND

    Door-to-door phenom Jake Robles breaks down how he went from teenage pest rep to record-setting alarms seller at Vivint—and why he walked away mid-summer to bet on solar and his personal brand. We cover the highs (45 installs in a week, 110+ accounts/rep averages, 86 solar deals in 8 weeks) and the inner game that actually drives those numbers: presence over panic, starving dopamine, and removing fear so “God-given energy” can flow.

    In this episode:

    • The reality of solar systems (and how Jake navigates them)
    • Flow state > tactics: how to stop transmitting desperation on the doors
    • Presence as a competitive edge (and what “being present” really means)
    • Starving fake dopamine, fasting, and managing energy without gimmicks
    • Leadership that scales: one pitch, same words, every time—and why
    • Handling online hate without fighting back
    • Preparation stacks: sleep, diet, and phone discipline
    • Surrender, unconditional faith, and letting life “tear down” old identities so you can rebuild

  • Is it Worth it? Q/A
    Aug 20 2025

    One of the worst questions you can ask yourself is: “Is it worth it?”
    In this episode, I share how dropping that question changed my entire career — from rookie summer struggles to stacking Golden Doors.

    Inside, I break down:

    • The August shift that separated me from everyone else.
    • Why most people quit before they ever find out what they’re capable of.
    • The real reason some reps hit goals while others fall short.
    • How to turn obstacles into fuel and proof you deserve to win.
    • The mindset that keeps recruits loyal and careers moving forward.
    • What it really means to adopt a champion identity built on sacrifice.

    If you’ve ever felt tired, burned out, or questioned whether pushing harder is worth it — this one’s for you.

    Questions I Answered in This Episode:

    1. What took you from your rookie year to winning three Golden Doors?
    2. Why do some people hit their goals and others don’t?
    3. When you have a bad day in a good area, do you ever feel like you’re wasting it?
    4. What are the best systems for retaining recruits across multiple teams and industries?
    5. Should I make this job a career, or should I get out?
    6. How do you give everything you’ve got and then, when it feels like you’re done, still give more?
    7. How do you turn a big obstacle into a superpower?
    8. How do you adopt a champion mindset of winning with sacrifice?
