  • He Did 1,200 Guest Appearances, Then He Turned It Into a Business | Mike C-Roc

    He Did 1,200 Guest Appearances, Then He Turned It Into a Business | Mike C-Roc
    Apr 10 2026
    At 40, Mike “C-Roc” Ciorrocco had everything most people chase.

    He went on a self-discovery journey, started surrounding himself with mentors who had what he wanted, and made one commitment: getting on podcasts to build relationships, and eventually- see where it leads.

    What it led to was over 2,000 podcast appearances, a top-tier booking agency called That1 Agency, a WhatsApp community of 600+ operators and founders, and a philosophy around performance, proximity, and getting out of your own way.

    We covered:
    → Why 95-99% of your time in early business should go toward generating revenue
    → How to "buy time" from people instead of trying to manage more of your own
    → The outcome question that tripled their clients in a single month
    → Why confronting problems fast is the most underrated business skill

    Mike said he wakes up every morning pretending nobody's ever heard of him, after building one of the top podcast booking firms in North America… what a mindset!!

    Thank you Mike for hopping on and sharing your story, the dark years, the refunds, the doubt, and the version of yourself that had to shed to get here. Talking with you was a blast!

  • The CEO Who Built a Cybersecurity Company Without Knowing IT | Matt Loria

    The CEO Who Built a Cybersecurity Company Without Knowing IT | Matt Loria
    Mar 27 2026
    Matt Loria built a top-tier cybersecurity and IT firm without a single tech degree or certification.

    Back when he and his brother ran a computer recycling business, they went repeatedly through IT providers. It was always the same: things started great, then the service just vanished. When Matt eventually told his brother he was starting his own IT firm, his brother pointed out the obvious.. "You don't know anything about IT."

    But Matt knew exactly what it looked like when someone did it wrong, and he knew how to fix it.

    That gap became the foundation for Auxiom. By bringing in a technical co-founder and focusing on the service and culture the industry was missing, he turned the company into a gold standard. Today, Auxiom handles everything from network security to AI readiness for massive, billion-dollar companies.

    We covered:
    → Why antivirus software alone leaves your business dangerously exposed
    → What a cyber attack actually costs after the breach (the rebuilding is worse than the hack)
    → How AI has supercharged the threat landscape and what the good guys are doing to keep up
    → Why every executive needs 30-60 minutes a day inside AI tools right now
    → And why Matt interviews a candidate's spouse before making a major hire

    One major takeaway: owners can't vision cast for something they don't know exists. That’s why it’s imperative every business owner gets their hands dirty with AI.

    Thank you Matt for coming to the studio and for sharing your story and expertise. It was a blast talking to you man!

  • From Mud Hut in Liberia to Coaching Nonprofits Across 3 Countries | Chris Lambert

    From Mud Hut in Liberia to Coaching Nonprofits Across 3 Countries | Chris Lambert
    Mar 20 2026
    Most people who want to change the world start with a cause, not with Chris Lambert, ‘coz he started with a crisis…

    Chris Lambert, Founder & CEO of Next Level Nonprofit, grew up in a small town in northern Indiana, gave his faith the finger at 16, then spent six years chasing whatever he thought would make him happy, but no, it didn't, then there became a chance encounter at a church service in Australia, and when he came home, he wasn't the same person who'd left.

    We covered:
    → How Chris's faith journey, from a small-town kid to a mud hut in Liberia, shaped everything he built after
    → What Life Remodeled actually did in Detroit and why the Gallup results shocked even him
    → The $300,000 check that completely rewired how he thinks about fundraising and donor relationships
    → How Indiana University's 16-0 season explains the one principle that separates great organizations from struggling ones

    There's a line Chris said that I keep thinking about, that is "Sometimes you just have to take the step forward even if you don't really know where it's going." He's done that more times than most people would be comfortable with, and it's produced something remarkable every single time!

    Chris, thank you for being so open about the whole journey, not just the wins. The stories you brought into this room were the kind that stay with you.
