In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, I sit down with Wes Towers, founder of Uplift 360, a digital agency helping builders and trades create smarter websites and measurable growth through practical SEO and clear strategy.

Wes shares how real progress in business often starts with a different question: What would this look like if it were easy? From cold plunges and breathwork to mindset shifts around selling and leadership, he explains how simplifying complex problems can unlock momentum, clarity, and better decisions.

We talk about why desperation repels opportunity, how an abundance mindset changes the way you show up with clients, and why leaders don’t need to control everything they need to create space for their teams to think, contribute, and grow.

We also explore:

• Why simplicity beats complexity in business

• How scarcity thinking quietly sabotages results

• The danger of confusing “hard” with “important”

• Why great leaders make room for ideas, not just decisions

• How personal branding and authenticity build trust

• What imposter syndrome really looks like after success

Wes also opens up about his struggles with self-doubt, burnout, and growth, reminding us that leadership isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about staying curious, staying human, and continuing to evolve.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t come from grinding harder It comes from simplifying, trusting your people, and choosing growth over fear.

In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, I sit down with Rob Broadhead, a veteran software architect, entrepreneur, and mentor with over 30 years of experience in technology and business. Rob is the founder of RB Consulting and the voice behind the Develop podcast, where he helps developers and business leaders turn ideas into real-world results.

Rob and I talk about the hidden challenges of delegation, why “done is better than perfect” is harder to live by than it sounds, and how leaders can create environments where people are allowed to grow instead of being forced to conform. We explore the gap between building great systems and building great teams and why the best leaders focus less on themselves and more on clearing the path for others.

We also dive into:

- Why comfort can quietly limit growth

- The danger of releasing products before they truly solve the problem

- What imposter syndrome really looks like after success

- Why feedback should flow in both directions

- How reflection makes better leaders and stronger businesses

- The difference between working in the business and working on it

Rob shares how his own journey from developer to business owner reshaped how he thinks about leadership, success, and scaling responsibly. His perspective is a reminder that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, staying humble, and building teams that can thrive without you standing in the middle.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from control it comes from clarity, trust, and the willingness to evolve.

In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, I sit down with Jacopo Iasiello, an entrepreneur who went from chasing a professional soccer career in Italy to rebuilding his life after a career-ending injury — and eventually creating success in business and real estate.

Jacopo shares how failure shaped his mindset, including the moment he slept on the floor of his first failed shop rather than admit defeat, and how that experience taught him resilience, focus, and humility. We talk about why trying to do too many things at once can quietly sabotage growth, and why mastering one path before expanding is essential for long-term success.

We explore:

- Why intention plus attention determines the direction of your life

- How failure can become a turning point instead of an ending

- The danger of spreading your energy across too many projects

- Why real leadership requires clarity, not ego

- How communication and delegation shape strong teams

- Why adding value to others is the foundation of meaningful success

Jacopo also opens up about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the inner battles that continue even after external success — reminding us that growth is not just about money or achievement, but about becoming stronger from the inside out.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn’t built in comfort it’s built through focus, resilience, and the courage to reinvent yourself when the plan falls apart.
