A broken man can only serve to break generations of women, and the consequences of fatherlessness reach deeper than most realize. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with my good friend RC Blakes, one of the most powerful voices on relationships, self-worth, and healing, to unpack the hidden struggles women face when they grow up without a strong father figure. Why do so many women struggle with choosing the right partner? How does fatherlessness create deep emotional and relational wounds? What can women (and men) do to break this cycle and step into wholeness? I've seen firsthand how the absence of a healthy masculine presence in a woman's life can shape the partners she attracts and the pain she endures. RC Blakes and I dive deep into the “approval trap”, why many women unknowingly seek validation from the wrong men, and how toxic masculinity subtly manipulates and drains women's self-esteem. I've walked my own journey of healing and growth and I know that without doing the deep work, we keep repeating painful patterns. Whether you've struggled in relationships, questioned your self-worth, or want to create healthier connections in your life, this conversation will challenge you to think differently.

Great companies aren't built on ideas alone—they're built on execution. As Karl Alomar aptly said, "You don't need innovation to build a great company, but you must have operational excellence." Innovation is a powerful catalyst, but without exceptional execution, even the best ideas will fall flat. This perspective resonates deeply with my journey. Building a nearly nine-figure company from scratch taught me that success hinges on operational excellence, culture, and disciplined execution. Here are three key takeaways for anyone striving to build not just a good company, but a great one: - Execution beats Ideas: A groundbreaking idea without execution is just a dream. Focus on operational discipline to turn innovation into impact. - Culture is the Catalyst: Great culture attracts A+ players, and A+ players drive excellence. Prioritize creating an environment where your team thrives. - Continuous Improvement: Success isn't a one-time event. It's a daily commitment to learning, adapting, and optimizing every aspect of the business. Innovation might open the door, but operational excellence is what ensures you walk through it.

We dig into the importance of self-awareness and how early sacrifices and intentional choices separate those who just get by from those who thrive.

Jason's journey and insights could be exactly what you need to level up. Don't forget to leave a review, and share if you find value. Let's BUILD together.
