  • When Enough Still Isn’t It with Ben Gallant
    Jun 4 2025

    You hit every milestone—and still feel off. Now what?

    In this raw and reflective conversation, Drew Haney sits down with land investor and commercial real estate pro Ben Gallant to unpack the paradox of success: building the life you were told to want… and quietly wondering why it doesn’t feel better.

    They explore the stages high-achieving men face—from golden handcuffs to entrepreneurial freedom—and what happens after you "make it." This episode tackles the real questions: Can you scale a business and stay present at home? Is freedom always fulfilling? And what does legacy actually mean when you're already financially set?

    If you’ve ever looked around your “dream life” and felt a surprising emptiness, this one’s for you.

  • What Happens After You Win the Hustle? with Meir Shemtov
    May 28 2025

    You scaled the mountain—and found yourself restless at the peak.

    In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Meir (land investor, serial entrepreneur, and creative mind behind Modern Escapes and LotOfLand) opens up about the paradox of success: how even after building multiple businesses, exiting to WeWork, and selling out a luxury resort via Indiegogo… he still wrestles with boredom, burnout, and the fear of it all vanishing overnight.

    Drew and Meir go deep on what most high performers won’t say out loud:

    • Why scaling a business can leave you feeling empty
    • The hidden fear behind creative side projects
    • How imposter syndrome shows up even after multiple wins
    • What it really takes to feel alive as a father, builder, and believer
    • The spiritual practices that keep Meir grounded in the chaos
    • And why sometimes, choosing the unconventional path isn’t a flex—it’s survival

    This is a conversation about identity, legacy, and the tension between being deeply present... and endlessly driven.

  • Is Obsession a Superpower or a Warning Sign? with Josiah Ronco
    May 21 2025

    You built the life. But why does comfort feel so... flat?

    In this raw, revealing conversation, land investor and former touring guitar tech Josiah Ronco opens up about what happens after the financial breakthrough. From working with OneRepublic to running one of the top land businesses in Florida, Josiah’s income 10x’d—but so did his inner questions.

    Drew and Josiah explore:

    • The unexpected downside of success
    • Whether work-life balance is a myth (or just a buzzword)
    • Why boredom on vacation might be the red flag no one's talking about
    • How entrepreneurs and addicts might not be as different as you think
    • The weird joy of chasing deals, not dopamine

    What makes this episode different? It’s not about ambition—it’s about what happens when ambition succeeds.

    Josiah doesn’t sell you a dream. He talks about running a lean, high-performing team, the fears that come with sudden wealth, and why he’d rather hike into the woods than buy a Ferrari.

  • Building Businesses, Losing Presence: Can You Have Both? with Travis King
    May 14 2025

    You finally have what you worked for—so why does more still feel like... not enough?

    In this conversation, Drew Haney sits down with investor and mentor Travis King to unpack what happens after the escape plan works. They talk fatherhood, faith, and the friction between achievement and presence—revealing what success actually looks like once the scoreboard stops mattering.

    Travis opens up about:

    • The slow burnout of "time freedom" without purpose
    • Why building a business that runs itself can leave you restless
    • The emotional cost of coaching—and why he still does it anyway
    • Letting go of shiny objects and staying loyal to your “main thing”
    • How being fully present with your kids requires more than just showing up

    This isn’t about hustle. It’s about the harder work of figuring out who you are—once you’re no longer defined by the grind.

  • What If Success Leaves You Feeling Numb? with Seth Williams
    May 7 2025

    What if the real risk isn’t failing—but staying in what no longer fits?

    You build the brand. You hit the numbers.
    And somewhere along the way, the thing that gave you purpose starts to feel like a performance.

    In this episode, Seth Williams—land investor and founder of REtipster—opens up about the hidden cost of success when identity, obligation, and achievement get tangled. From building one of the most respected platforms in real estate education to quietly stepping back from the very thing that made him “successful,” Seth shares the inner shifts that most entrepreneurs don’t say out loud.

    We talk about:
    – The moment you realize your business is running you
    – Emotional bandwidth, fatherhood, and redefining ambition
    – Letting go of the expert role to rediscover who you actually are
    – The difference between fulfillment and happiness—and why it matters
    – Why walking away isn’t weakness—it’s mastery

    This isn’t about giving up.
    It’s about knowing when a version of you has run its course.

    Welcome to the Other Side of Enough.

  • When Success Isn’t Enough: Eric Wong on Surrender & Joy
    Apr 30 2025

    What if fulfillment doesn’t come from scaling—but from surrender?
    In this rich and deeply personal episode, Drew reunites with longtime friend and former Army roommate Eric Wong—a West Point grad, land investor, and neuroscience-obsessed entrepreneur—who shares why having enough money doesn’t mean feeling enough. And why the most powerful work he’s done lately isn’t in business… but in his inner life.

    Together, they unpack:

    Why success alone won’t satisfy—and why it’s not supposed to

    The neuroscience behind joy, burnout, and the real “balance” high-performers crave

    How to pursue God without turning it into a checklist

    Dopamine, decision fatigue, and what makes people actually happy

    The myth of financial arrival—and how surrender is the actual next level

    Eric shares his journey from Army officer to full-time land investor to spiritual mentor, and how a powerful heaven-time practice reshaped everything—from his business rhythms to how he parents. This one’s not just insightful—it’s grounding.

  • When Success Feels Like a Better Hamster Wheel with Justin Sliva
    Apr 23 2025

    You made the money. Now what?

    For Justin Sliva, a former railroad exec turned land investor and father of three, the answer wasn’t more deals or bigger houses—it was coaching his kids’ soccer team, skipping the Rolex, and learning to slow down without shutting off.

    In this intimate conversation with Drew, Justin opens up about what happens after financial freedom: the thrill of building, the ache of boredom, and the raw honesty of wondering if you’re just on a fancier hamster wheel.

    They unpack:

    The emotional cost of being "self-made"

    Why most high achievers can’t sit still—and probably never will

    How Justin redefined legacy after meeting his biological father at age 36

    What true wealth looks like when your six-year-old hands you a grilled cheese from the back of a food trailer

    This isn’t just a business episode. It’s a soulful, late-night-level talk about what actually matters once you’ve stopped chasing and started choosing.

  • Jeff Hughen on Building Wealth, Burning Out, and Starting Over
    Apr 16 2025

    You made it. Now you’re spread thin, restless—and still searching.

    What happens when you’re a few wins in, the money’s flowing, and the only thing running faster than your business portfolio… is your brain? In this raw, real episode, Drew sits down with longtime friend and serial entrepreneur Jeff Hughen, a former airline captain turned multi-business operator, to unpack the tension between ambition, identity, and “enough.”

    From the land flip that paid seven figures to the weight of leading too many projects at once, Jeff doesn’t hold back. They explore:

    • The cost of skipping steps (and how it nearly broke him)
    • What happens when a cash cow stops feeling exciting
    • Why obsessiveness might be a feature—not a flaw—for entrepreneurs
    • The myth of balance, and what actually works instead

    Whether you’re in your first business or your fifth, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the messy middle—and why “freedom” can sometimes feel like a full-time job.
