Last Monday at 5:28 PM

Some people peak at 18 and spend the next 40 years talking about it.

The scariest part? Most don't even realize it's happening, and it's keeping them from the next chapter of their life. Here's how to make sure you're not one of them.


28 Brutal Truths About Money I Wish I Knew in My 20s
28 Brutal Truths About Money I Wish I Knew in My 20s episode artwork
06/22/2026

Most people learn how money actually works the hard way, after a decade of expensive mistakes nobody warned them about.

I went from dead broke to owning a portfolio of companies doing nine figures a year, and almost every breakthrough came from a brutal lesson I had to learn the painful way.

In this episode, I'm handing over the 28 truths I wish someone had hammered into me at 20, so you can skip the expensive detours and start playing the real game two decades earlier.

06/18/2026

Most people never get rich because they start investing in the wrong thing.

They throw money into index funds and stocks before they've earned the right to, and then they wonder why their portfolio looks the same five years later.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I'd invest in 2026 if I were starting from zero, drawing on what I learned building and exiting three companies and becoming the #1 angel investor in Canada.

If you've ever felt behind on money, this is the order nobody teaches you.


I read 1900 Books, these 4 will make you rich

06/11/2026

After 1900+ books on money, business, and wealth, I can tell you most of them are noise.

A small handful actually move the needle on income, and the rest are entertainment dressed up as education.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 4 books that personally shaped how I built and exited multiple companies, and exactly why they matter at different stages of your wealth journey.

Stick around till the end because the last one is the reason most high performers quietly burn out before they ever get rich.

The Psychology of Building Real Wealth Like the Top 1%
The Psychology of Building Real Wealth Like the Top 1% episode artwork
06/08/2026

Working hard isn't what makes you rich. If it was, the people grinding 12 hour days at two jobs would already be wealthy, and they're not.

The truth is the 1% operate on a completely different set of mental models than everyone else, and until you adopt them, you'll stay stuck no matter how many hours you put in.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts I used to become a multi-millionaire by 28 and build a venture studio approaching a billion dollar valuation. Watch till the end because the last one is the...

05/25/2026

Most people think getting rich is complicated. It isn't. There are 7 principles that quietly separate the people who build real wealth from the ones who stay stuck no matter how hard they work.

I learned these the hard way, and in this episode, I'm handing them to you with the math behind each one so you can actually act on them this week. Watch to the end, because the last one is the difference between building a business that frees you and one that owns you.

05/19/2026

Most people never build real wealth, not because they're lazy or uninformed, but because they've been following rules designed to keep them comfortable, not wealthy.

I went from broke at 22 to running a $100M company. What made the difference wasn't hustle or a hot stock tip. It was understanding that wealth operates on laws, not suggestions, and that most of the advice out there completely ignores them.

In this episode, I break down the 5 laws that actually govern how money works, and why the people who understand them build wealth while everyone else stays stuck...

05/14/2026

Most people are pouring time into content that will never make them a single dollar.

Personal branding isn't about views or follower counts, it's about building the kind of attention that actually converts into income and opportunity.

In this episode, I break down what separates the personal brands quietly making millions from the ones stuck spinning their wheels, and the exact moves that flip the switch.

Most people think they have a discipline problem. They don't.

What they actually have is an identity problem dressed up as a willpower problem, and no amount of grinding will fix it.

In this episode, I'm giving you the formula I've used to stay consistent through three exits, scaling past $100M, and finishing three Ironmans, even on the days I didn't feel like showing up. Watch to the end if you're tired of starting over every Monday.

How to Make Time For EVERYTHING
How to Make Time For EVERYTHING episode artwork
04/27/2026

Most entrepreneurs think making time for everything means working harder or sleeping less. That's a lie.

I own and run multiple businesses generating over $100M in revenue, and I still train for Ironmans, travel with my kids, and never miss a date night with my wife. In this video, I'm sharing the exact system I use to fit work, family, health, and hobbies into every single week without sacrificing any of them.

Most entrepreneurs think freedom means no schedule — I used to be one of them.

That belief cost me millions in missed opportunities, strained relationships, and wasted energy.

In this episode, I break down why your calendar is your most powerful asset, the exact rhythms and routines I use to get more done by 9 AM than most people do all day, and how to design your week so you can build wealth, stay healthy, and actually be present for the people who matter.

Procrastination isn't a motivation problem. It's actually two separate problems happening at the same time, and most people have no idea how to solve either one.

I break down the exact framework I use to eliminate distractions, build momentum fast, and finish work in a fraction of the time. These are the same systems that helped me scale multiple companies while managing ADHD.

I've spent time around some of the wealthiest, most successful people on the planet, from Richard Branson to Naval Ravikant to Travis Kalanick.

What I discovered is that billionaires don't just work harder, they operate on a completely different set of rules that most entrepreneurs never learn.
