Neil shares why most entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad strategy—but because they haven’t built the person who can lead the strategy. From mindset recalibration to identity work, emotional discipline, and the courage to create boundaries, Neil reveals the foundational elements required to build a leader capable of sustaining real success.

Preston and Neil dive into the psychology of confidence, why self-trust is the highest form of currency, and how solving internal problems often unlocks external breakthroughs. This conversation takes you behind the curtain of Neil’s coaching philosophy—one centered on truth, accountability, and calling people to rise to their highest potential.

Whether you're just starting out or scaling to the next level, this episode will challenge you to look inward, own your growth, and become the kind of CEO your business actually needs.

Together, they dive into what it takes to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs, why financial mastery is simply “second-grade math done consistently,” and how to protect your downside while creating infinite upside. They explore the emotional side of entrepreneurship — the guilt, the grind, and the grace it takes to own your story when failure hits hard.

It’s a conversation about redemption, resilience, and redefining what “profit” really is. Whether you’re in business, investing, or rebuilding from loss, Jeremy’s journey is proof that every problem carries a return — if you’re willing to do the math.

Maya shares how she discovered her gift for messaging, why she believes clarity is currency, and how true branding is less about logos and more about identity. From her early struggles as a first-generation college dropout to coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs to raise their prices and own their value, Maya’s story is a masterclass in alignment, resilience, and purpose.

Together, she and Preston unpack what it really means to build the CEO before the business, the difference between a coach and a consultant, and why the best brands aren’t afraid to be polarizing. This conversation dives deep into identity, values, and the psychology behind pricing, influence, and impact.

Dustin opens up about his journey from selling books door to door to becoming the President of Safe Space Global, where AI meets purpose to save lives. He shares how a football injury redirected his life path, why faith became his compass, and how he turned decades of lessons into his bestselling book, Capacity: Building a Business Bigger Than You.

Together, Preston and Dustin dive deep into what it means to lead with faith, tame the ego without killing ambition, and find your true identity beyond your title. From managing the fear of success to building teams that scale, Dustin reveals the six core pillars behind sustainable growth — starting with executive strategy, marketing, and business development.

It’s a conversation about balance: ambition and humility, faith and pragmatism, success and surrender. Whether you’re leading a startup or steering a legacy company, Dustin’s story is a reminder that principles—not pressure—are what build empires that last.

“The foundation  of your life should be principle based. Like if you have principles that you live your life on, you're going to land in a better place than trying to just go with the flow or do what you think people want.” — Dustin Hillis

Mario Ayala’s story runs through call centers, aggressive training at Saratoga Homes, high-stakes coups for builder accounts, legal battles, and even a billboard war outside my office window. What began as fights and lawsuits eventually transformed into respect, friendship, and now collaboration as Mario launches his own home-building company.

In this episode, we unpack the truth behind rivalries in real estate, why most brokerages collapse under pressure, and what it takes to reinvent yourself when the market is shifting fast. We get into the lessons and the surprising reason enemies can sometimes make the best business partners.

This one is for anyone who feels stuck in the brokerage grind, questions the future of real estate, and wonders how to turn setbacks into a launchpad for something bigger.

In this episode, we talk about the mindset shifts that transform you into the kind of leader people follow without hesitation. We get into why trust is earned slowly, how to handle “train wreck” problems without losing confidence, and what it takes to run multiple businesses without burning out or losing your values.

This one’s for founders who care about building something real without burning every bridge along the way.

Payment processing isn’t just a back-end service. It’s the one decision that could either protect or wipe out your entire business. Brad Weimert learned that the hard way and then turned it into an empire.

Brad is the founder of Easy Pay Direct, the company entrepreneurs call when Stripe locks up their money and critical cash flow disappears. He’s also a sharp real estate investor, a podcast host, and one of the most strategic thinkers I’ve ever had on this show when it comes to building actual freedom.

But that’s not where he started.

Brad went from a rebellious teen at odds with the law to running a multimillion-dollar business that now helps thousands of entrepreneurs keep more of what they earn. In this episode, we unpack how he started his business journey, how a $250K loss became his best investment, and why B2B businesses create your biggest advantage: valuable relationships.

We even get into what founders often misunderstand about control, and why personal growth always leads the way!

Jennifer Hudye didn’t have a silver spoon or a straight path. She grew up in a tiny Canadian farming town of 500 people, surrounded by fields and family businesses, determined to carve her own way. From bootstrapping a copywriting agency that served giants like Tony Robbins and Dave Asprey to building Vision Driven, where she’s now helped over 700 entrepreneurs craft vivid visions for their lives and businesses, Jennifer’s story is one of hustle, heart, and unrelenting belief in what’s possible.

But it wasn’t easy. She faced the fear of failure, the pressure of proving herself, and the chaos of a world where tech is rewriting the rules faster than we can keep up. 

In this episode, we look at how she turned fear into fuel, why a clear vision is the secret weapon of every great leader, and how to paint a future so compelling it pulls you and everyone around you toward it. We even put her on the spot to coach me through my own vision, and let me tell you, she delivered.

Let’s dive in!

Brandon Poulin didn’t follow a playbook.

He joined a network marketing company at 17, scaled a business to 180 employees, built a women’s health brand that did over $200 million in revenue—and somehow, through it all, found his way back to peace, purpose, and freedom.

But it wasn’t all wins. He crashed. Rebuilt. Crashed again. He felt the pressure of performance, the intensity of leadership, and the pain of identity loss when the algorithm tanked his company’s growth mid-acquisition. And yet… he came out of it wiser. Less obsessed with money, more focused on joy, presence, and impact.

In this episode, we dig into the real stuff, like what it’s actually like to lose millions after expecting a $100M exit, what changes when you hit financial freedom early, why building a business with your wife changes everything, and how to stop squeezing the life out of life.

If you’ve ever built something and felt empty… or wondered what comes after the exit… or wanted to build wealth without losing yourself… this episode is for you.

Starting a business with your spouse sounds like a recipe for disaster—or a dream come true.

For Samantha and Michael Guthrie, it was both.

They lost their jobs on the same day, risked their last $2,000 on a single ATM machine, and built an eight-figure company from that single bet. No investors. No fancy office. Just grit, systems, and a shared refusal to live life on someone else’s terms.

In this episode, we get real about what it takes to scale a business while building a marriage that actually works. We go deep into business efficiency, partner dynamics, industry disruption, and why listening—not selling—is the key to making millions.

They didn’t just build a company. They redefined what a lean business looks like. And somehow, through all of it, they came out stronger—both in love and in the bank.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to scale with your spouse, you need to hear this.

The most powerful movements don’t start in boardrooms. They start in backyards, in broken places, and with people who refuse to accept the hand they were dealt.

Carlos Reyes gets that.

He didn’t just talk about ownership—he earned it. From watching his mom hustle across the border and flipping bread and bagging groceries as a child, Carlos turned a story of absence, survival, and sacrifice into a mission of empowerment for an entire generation of entrepreneurs.

In this episode, we dig into identity, grit, and what it really means to build wealth with intention. Carlos opens up about what it was like crossing the border through a fence, being separated from his mother, building real estate empires, and why Mexican Americans must reclaim ownership, not just of business, but of self-worth, legacy, and the future of American industry.

This one’s got edge, purpose, and power. You’re going to feel it in your gut.

Some moments force you to ask bigger questions—about who you are, what you’re carrying, and whether the pressure you feel is helping you grow or keeping you stuck.

This is where Cody Jefferson thrives.

He’s not the kind of guy who shows up with surface-level inspiration. Cody is a former pastor, a father, a husband, and a man who has sat with more grief than most ever will. And somehow, instead of shutting down, he shows up stronger, more grounded, and more grace-filled than ever.

In this episode, we discuss identity, trauma, and the belief systems entrepreneurs build around chaos. We also discuss what happens when you stop trying to be “useful” in order to earn love and finally learn to receive it just as you are.

Discover what it means to walk through the fire and come out more whole.

There’s a weird thing that happens when entrepreneurs start making money. They think making money is the goal, but no one ever shows them how to keep it.

That’s where today’s guest comes in.

Justin Maxwell isn’t your typical tax guy. He doesn’t just look at numbers—he looks at your entire financial structure and re-engineers it so you don’t just survive the IRS… you thrive.

This episode is a must-listen if you're a six or seven-figure entrepreneur still operating like a W-2 employee and wondering why your wealth isn’t compounding the way it should. 

Justin breaks down why most entrepreneurs are set up to lose and how to flip the script by building a real wealth team, turning your income into assets, and protecting yourself from future financial landmines.

We talk about taxes, cashflow vs. asset businesses, financial trauma, and how orthodox beliefs about money may be silently draining your future.

Most of us are hustling so hard, we forget to ask one crucial question:

What kind of energy are we actually building our business with?

In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve rarely shared publicly. Not tactics. Not tools. Not formulas. Energy.

The day my business truly took off wasn’t the day I cracked a new strategy. It was the day I changed the energy I was bringing into the room. 

Because I built my first businesses on fear—fear of being broke, fear of being cheated, fear of not being enough. And guess what? That fear showed up in my business, in my team, in the lawsuits, in the chaos.

But something happens when you start leading with love, joy, and purpose instead of pain. When you stop proving and start being. When you stop clinging to hierarchy and start connecting with your heart.

I’m talking about a complete identity-level shift, from a high-achieving entrepreneur to a heart-centered creator.

This episode is for the ones ready to stop managing by crisis and start creating from a deeper, truer place.

Ever feel like you’re meant for more, but you’re quietly shrinking to keep the peace, or avoid looking like you want too much?

Lee Richter was never one to dim her light. From child star in national commercials to high-powered boardrooms with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, Lee learned how to own her space without compromising her heart, and she’s here to show you how.

This episode might just change the way you think about your own story. Lee drops real, grounded wisdom on how to reparent yourself, how to recognize the “glass ceilings” you’ve built in your own head, and how to use emotional intelligence to shift out of fear and into power.

And here’s the kicker. She doesn’t just talk about winning: she lives it. With 50+ awards, thriving businesses, and an impact-for-good foundation, Lee is proof that leading with love is revolutionary.

We talk power, money, fear, femininity, boardrooms, and why your environment will make or break your future.

You’ve heard it all before—cut rates are coming, inflation’s cooling, the Fed has it under control.

Except… they don’t.

In this episode, I’m giving it to you straight. The markets are moving, the Fed is fumbling, and we’re about to enter one of the most strategic windows for building wealth we’ve had in years.

Not only am I stacking real estate like crazy right now, but I’m also watching how the bond flight, housing pressure, and global power shifts are creating ripple effects you can capitalize on if you stop waiting for perfect conditions.

Here’s the truth: you're not gonna win this next round of wealth building by sitting on the sidelines hoping Powell figures it out. And you're definitely not gonna win by waiting for the next headline to tell you what to do.

So I’m breaking it down—why housing’s getting hammered (but why that’s good news), how Trump vs. Powell might just become your favorite economic catalyst, what’s really going on with China, Ukraine, India, and the markets, and the plays I’m personally making right now with my own money.

Not gonna lie—there’s a lot of noise right now about whether the sky is falling or we’re headed into the greatest bull run ever.

Here’s what I really think…

In this episode, I break down the key threats I see in 2025. Labor data you’ve probably never heard explained like this, the debt traps most entrepreneurs are walking straight into, and why I think we’re not facing a full-on recession, but something even trickier. A stall.

Because if you’re running your business on yesterday’s game plan, or you’re hoping the Fed or the next President is gonna magically turn everything around, you’re setting yourself up to lose.

This is what you need to know about interest rates, credit bubbles, broken labor data, commercial real estate risk, stock market overconfidence, and how to position your money where it actually has a shot at growing in an inflation-driven economy.

I’m not just talking theory here. These are the plays I’m personally making to hedge for chaos and lean into opportunity at the same time.

"Getting prepared for a potential economic downturn in 2025 is something every entrepreneur should be doing. You wanna ensure you're not caught in the chaos if something comes up." ~ Preston Brown

You know that uneasy feeling when you’re pretty sure your team is dropping leads—but the spreadsheets look “fine,” the phone logs are “somewhere,” and everyone swears the last CRM “didn’t fit the workflow”?

Been there. That’s why I pulled my own chief technology officer, Zach Abrams, out from behind the screens and onto the mic. Zach took my companies from software chaos (think six-figure bloatware bills and zero accountability) to a tight, data-driven machine that grew our home-building division 67% in the worst housing market in 35 years.

We dive into the nitty gritty of when to hire a tech team, how to vet the right people, and why forcing adoption is the only way to make those expensive investments actually pay off.

Zach also shares his take on the future of AI, what it means for the job market, and how businesses can stay ahead of the curve without blowing their budgets on unnecessary bells and whistles.

“These tools are going to augment every industry. There isn’t going to be a single sector untouched by AI and technology.” ~Zach Abrams

Ever get hit up with a pitch that sounds good, but deep down you’re not sure it’s worth your time, energy, or money?

Here’s how I cut through the noise.

In this episode, I break down the three filters I use before I invest in anything—whether it’s a business deal, a charity, or even a new use of my time. I call them the Three P’s: Productivity, Profitability, and Purpose.

And trust me, once you start applying these lenses to every opportunity, you’ll make smarter decisions, avoid the con artists, and stay aligned with what actually matters.

We’re talking about more than just cash flow here. This is how you protect your time, your energy, and your long-term peace of mind.

Whether you're dealing with a real estate pitch, a golf hobby, or someone trying to sell you “business coaching,” these three P's will tell you everything you need to know.

" Whenever you're investing in a deal, you're not just investing in the deal. You're investing in the person and their purpose. Otherwise, it has to be built around your purpose." ~ Preston Brown

Let’s talk about something most people don’t realize:

You can be rich and still feel broke. You can be successful and still feel not enough. You can save lives every day—and still wonder if you’re failing as a husband, father, or friend.

In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Dr. Richard Farnam, a top-tier gynecological robotic surgeon, YouTube educator, and self-proclaimed lifelong learner.

But this episode isn’t about fancy titles or flashy accolades.

It’s about the real stuff. Like growing up poor in rural Wisconsin, wrestling with a scarcity mindset that doesn’t quit, and realizing that being the best surgeon in the world doesn’t excuse you for being a shitty dad or an absent husband.

We talk about burnout, what most doctors get wrong about money, why success without family is empty, and how mastery, gratitude, and curiosity can save more than just your bank account.

Dr. Rich also breaks down how robotic surgery revolutionized women’s healthcare, the truth about doctors and wealth, and why niching down is the most underrated key to financial freedom, both inside and outside of medicine.

“ Being the top best surgeon does not excuse you from being the top best husband and the top best father.” - Dr. Richard Farnam.

Would you sit through a movie where nothing goes wrong, no one struggles, and everything turns out just fine? Of course not. That’s not a story—it’s a snoozefest. So why are so many entrepreneurs trying to build a business like that?

In this episode, I’m sharing why controversy isn’t something you should avoid. It’s something you should leverage. Controversy is human. It’s messy, emotional, and powerful. And when you know how to use it right, it becomes your greatest asset in business.

People don’t follow you because you're polished and perfect. They follow you because you solve real problems, and real problems come wrapped in controversy. The more honest you are about the struggles you help people overcome, the more magnetic your brand becomes.

I’m sharing how to use your truth to build trust, how to tell stories that actually sell, and why the most successful entrepreneurs lean into what others run from.

"People are not gonna follow you because they just love your beautiful, immortal soul. They're gonna follow you because you solve a problem, and you do it in an epic way." ~ Preston Brown

Alright, let’s get real for a second.

You’ve probably heard the chatter. Hiring women is “risky,” or it’s a legal minefield, or maybe you’ve just been burned by a toxic hire and swore off the idea. I get it. But here’s the thing: that’s a load of crap if you know what to look for.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Victoria Isais, a woman who’s been through the wringer—from abandonment at two weeks old to toxic relationships, five marriages, and a reputation as the “biggest bitch” in town—and came out the other side a millionaire entrepreneur leading tens of thousands of women. 

Victoria is here to share why women are the secret sauce your business needs, not just for the warm fuzzies but for cold, hard results.

We’re talking culture that keeps people loyal, work ethic that doesn’t quit, and a nurturing vibe that turns an office into a tribe. Plus, she’s spilling the tea on how to spot the red flags so you don’t end up with a lawsuit instead of a rockstar employee.

“Women are the pillars of our household. So if we’re the pillars of our household, what could we do in your business?” ~ Victoria Isais

Let’s talk about something that’s been bugging me for a while.

You’ve seen it. The viral reels, the TikToks, the fake flexes, the business coaches who haven’t built a single thing but want to charge you $10K to “unlock your potential.”

Yeah, I’m over it. And honestly, you should be, too.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why you need to ignore 90% of the business advice floating around online. Not because advice is bad but because most of it has one goal: to hook your attention and sell you something. Not to help you win.

I’m also diving into where I think the future is heading. With AI, quantum computing, and automation, it’s not a matter of if traditional jobs die off—it’s when. So yeah, we need to rethink everything.

"The sales process is education. The marketing process is entertainment. The clickbait that you see on 90% of social media misses the education piece. " ~ Preston Brown

The idea of starting a business sounds exciting—freedom, flexibility, and financial upside. But there’s one truth no one wants to tell you. Most people don’t fail because the idea was bad; they fail because they skipped the work before the work.

In this episode, you will learn what actually matters before you ever open the doors.

I’m breaking down what I’d really be thinking through if I started a business in 2025. Not only the type of business but also the economics, the timing, the market, the risk, and an exit strategy.

You don’t need another clickbait list. You need to know how to build a financial vehicle that takes you where you want to go—and how to know if you should even get into that vehicle in the first place.

"Business is the financial vehicle, when you set it up, that makes your life better." ~ Preston Brown

Everyone talks about data, but few actually know what to do with it. Matthew Barnes, founder of Proteus Digital Lab, is the guy top-tier businesses turn to when they need their analytics to work for them, not against them.

Matthew helps the biggest brands on Shopify cut through the noise, measure what truly matters, and turn wasted ad spend into profit. 

And if you think you can just hire him, think again. You don’t get on Matthew’s client list unless you’re already doing 10M+ in revenue.

But today, you get access to him. 

In this episode, Matthew shares why most digital marketing is a waste of money, how he built a software company that serves multi-million dollar clients, and why optimizing for customer lifetime profitability will transform your business.

"There's one metric that actually ends up mattering to the people that own the business in the end. Marginal dollars in the bank account. Everything else is a proxy for that." ~ Matthew Barnes

The economy isn’t slowing down. It’s shifting fast. If you’re not watching closely, you’re already behind.

Today, I will share the latest economic shakeups under Trump’s administration—what’s happening with government layoffs, what new tax codes could mean for your wallet, and the impact of shifting tariffs on global trade.

And AI? It’s not just some future worry. The biggest disruption to jobs and businesses is already unfolding. The quantum computing and robotics boom is about to reshape industries faster than anyone expected.

Stock market volatility, real estate moves, and what’s coming next for interest rates—I break it all down and share exactly what I’m doing to stay ahead of the game.

"AI, quantum computing, and robotics are going to be the single largest disruptor to our economy in a very short term. In the next 2 to 10 years." ~ Preston Brown

Most people think banks are these mysterious giants with endless cash. But in reality? They’re businesses—just like yours. And no one understands that better than Ray Owen.

Ray grew up working on farms, pulling cotton, and watching his dad manage a cattle feed yard. He wasn’t born into wealth. He built it. Now, as the President of Bank of Texas, he’s taken his bank from an $18 million startup to over $500 million in assets—all while keeping a 0% loan loss rate.

In this episode, Ray breaks down banking like you’ve never heard it. He reveals why your credit score matters less than your character, how to turn your banker into a strategic partner (not a loan shark), and why most entrepreneurs get bank relationships dead wrong.

We also dive into the 5 C’s of credit, why Silicon Valley Bank really collapsed, and how to recession-proof your business’s finances.

“ Banking is all about confidence. If you're depositing money somewhere, you want to be confident that that bank is solid and you're not going to lose your money.” ~ Ray Owen

Some politicians make promises. Others get things done. And then there’s Renard Johnson, a businessman-turned-mayor who built a thriving company from the ground up before stepping into public service.

Renard didn’t need this job. He had already built a multi-million-dollar business in defense contracting, scaled it to 800+ employees, and could have just enjoyed the success. Instead, he ran for Mayor of El Paso—not for power, but to fix the inefficiencies he saw firsthand as a business owner.

In this episode, Renard shares why he left business for politics, how he’s making government work more like a business, and why El Paso is one of the biggest untapped opportunities for entrepreneurs.

“ If you haven't seen your city come out and knock on your door and ask what they can do—first, to retain you in their community, second, to expand you—come to El Paso.” ~ Renard Johnson

Some people talk about business. Others build it. And then there’s Mike Fata—who sells it multiple times for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mike went from dropping out of high school at 14 to selling his health food company twice—first for $132 million, then again for $419 million. That’s not luck. That’s execution.

The crazy part? He didn’t invent anything. He just took something good and made it better.

In this no-holds-barred episode, I sit down with Ryan Daniel Moran, entrepreneur, investor, and the unapologetic voice behind Capitalism.com.

“If we are in an ever-expanding universe, if we live in a world where capitalism continues to solve more problems, then we probably have a shot at building something with a lot of value that creates a lot of good in the world. And we don't have to focus on what most entrepreneurs obsess over, which is short-term cash flow.” ~ Ryan Daniel Moran
