    This week, we were joined by Kiaura Eyewear CEO Parker Godfrey on the podcast. His sunglasses company has been killing it; on today's episode, he reveals how he started, what's been working for him, and how he plans to scale in the future— a treasure trove of information for anyone looking to start their own business. He reminds us that if he can do this, anyone can. We also discuss topics like doubt, being around money, pricing, advertising, and how to effectively leverage credit.

    Was very fortunate this week to speak with entrepreneurial mastermind Jacob Peters, founder of health tech company Superpower and ex-ceo of the original founder-mansion startup Launch House. He sold his first company at 25 years old for $25 million dollars but was yearning for more social interaction since the world of entrepreneurship can be extremely lonely, leading him to become a master at networking. His unique experience growing up and nightmare experience with the Covid vaccine sheds a different light on how we can fix America's health care system. In this episode, we discussed various topics like reinventing yourself, building better habits, fulfillment, trust, and much more.

    Always a pleasure being able to link up with my good friend Tyler Riches. Tyler has an incredibly unique perspective on life, being in a position most young adults would only dream of. In most people's minds, Tyler has essentially "Made it" at 21. However, in this episode, he gives us a much deeper understanding and perspective of what it is like to have millions as a kid and how it doesn't really bring happiness or fulfillment at all. It's been one year since our first podcast together, and in this new episode he explains how he has been able to completely change his life and find true fulfillment.
