🎙️ Episode 30 — Building Businesses That Last: Mickey Lyles of Immeasura Growth Partners

In this episode of Through the Noise, I sit down with Mickey Lyles, founder of Immeasura Growth Partners, to talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable, scalable business. From humble beginnings on a dirt road in South Carolina to helping companies grow and sell for millions, Mickey brings decades of experience in leadership, financial discipline, and business fundamentals.

But this conversation goes deeper than metrics — it’s about mindset, balance, and defining success on your own terms:

• The three choices every entrepreneur must make — time, money, or control.
• Why fundamentals beat fancy tactics every time.
• How to save before you hire and plan your next big move.
• Why AI still can’t replace human connection in sales and service.
• What private equity buyers really look for (and often ruin after acquisition).
• How to build repeatable systems and create real legacy without burnout.

If you’re ready to stop chasing hacks and start building something that lasts, this episode will show you how to lead smarter, scale sustainably, and find peace in the process.

🎙️ Episode 29 — From Prison to Purpose: David Carroll on Redemption, Growth & Authentic Success

In this episode of Through the Noise, I sit down with David Carroll, founder of Dope Marketing, to unpack one of the most powerful comeback stories in entrepreneurship. From prison at 21 to running a $100M company, Dave’s journey is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. He shares how getting stabbed, rebuilding from nothing, and meeting his wife Brynn at a strip club became the unlikely foundation for a life of discipline, gratitude, and purpose.

But this conversation goes way deeper than business—it’s about identity, redemption, and the courage to change:

• How Dave went from a self-destructive lifestyle to leading 100+ employees.
• The moment that forced him to quit drinking and rebuild his marriage.
• What it really means to trust yourself and outgrow old versions of who you were.
• How slowing down, facing truth, and redefining success changed everything.
• Why clean data and AI adoption are the keys to the next era of business.
• Lessons on leadership, accountability, and showing up for the people who depend on you.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past or unsure how to level up without losing yourself, this episode will hit deep.
