  • Zero to $500K in Five Weeks With Just Phone Calls | Patrick Gomez
    Feb 9 2026
    Patrick Gomez quit his job as a CMO, filed an LLC for a hundred bucks, and sat at his desk thinking clients would just show up.

    They didn't.

    He panicked and DM'd 3,000 people on LinkedIn over two days straight. Got five clients. Lost all five almost immediately. That was the beginning.

    Patrick is a serial entrepreneur who built SiteLyft, a subscription website business, from those early failures. Then he co-founded AntiAgency, a podcast-based lead generation company. And most recently he launched TurboClaim, an AI-powered claims management platform that raised half a million dollars from its own beta users in the first week.

    He shares:
    ➤ Why your first clients should never pay you a dollar
    ➤ How he went from zero to $500K in recurring revenue in five weeks with just cold calls
    ➤ The case for building a side business before quitting your job

  • Stop Treating Networking Events Like Sales Calls | Greg Peters
    Jan 30 2026
    Greg Peters spent 15 years as a computer programmer before realizing something was missing...

    He started his own web development business in '94 but hit a wall; he lacked social skills and couldn't bring himself to cold call.

    Greg saw the problem and began taking networking classes. And it changed everything.

    Now Greg teaches professionals, entrepreneurs, and credit unions how to build networks that actually produce referrals; the kind where people text you opportunities without being asked.

    Here's what we cover:
    → Why most people waste their time at networking events (and the simple goal that makes them worth it)
    → The "Top 50" strategy for staying connected without being needy
    → Why "just checking in" makes people screen your calls

    Let me know below:
    What's the biggest networking mistake you've ever made?

  • Nick Freitas: Leaving Politics, Charlie Kirk, Real Parenting, & Why Men Feel Betrayed
    Jan 23 2026
    Nick Freitas spent 10 years in the Virginia State Legislature representing James Madison's district. He was a Green Beret. He's built a following of millions.

    And he's personally been a long time dream guest of mine.

    In our conversation, Nick talks about what his wife once told him... she didn't need him to be weak; she needed him to be tender. What follows is one of the most honest discussions about masculinity, marriage, and fatherhood I've heard.

    He lays out:
    → Why your relationship with your teenage daughter begins to be built when she's two.
    → How specifically you father and teach your sons differently than your daughters.
    → Why flirting with your spouse in front of your kids actually matters.
    → And why chasing that political legacy might cost you the family pictures that hang in your home.

    We get into why there's so much in-fighting within the right and the moment Charlie Kirk's death changed how he saw the country.

    I'm so thankful for Nick joining me this episode and allowing me to record in his studio.
