309 - From $250K to $570K in 14 Months: How Tim Woodbridge Built a Mobile Home Park Empire Through Recovery and Resilience What if the deal everyone told you was bad turned out to be the foundation of an 1,100 lot portfolio? Tim Woodbridge bought his first mobile home park for $250,000 in 2019 with only 10 of 36 lots occupied. Experienced investors told him to walk away. Fourteen months later, after bringing in new homes and raising occupancy, that same property appraised for $570,000 and he returned every dollar of investor capital through a refinance. This episode is proof that your first deal does not have to be perfect to change the trajectory of your life. Tim is the founder and acquisitions lead at WCG Investments, where he and his two partners now manage roughly 25 mobile home parks and more than 1,100 lots across the southeast. He breaks down exactly how mobile home park investing works, including the hybrid ownership model his company uses to balance investor returns with affordable housing for tenants, and why he targets a 16 to 20 percent IRR that roughly doubles investor capital over five to seven years. He also opens up about being in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol and living with multiple sclerosis, and how both experiences shaped a leadership philosophy built on meeting people exactly where they are. This episode is for accredited investors looking for a recession-resistant alternative to apartments and single-family rentals, for anyone curious about how mobile home parks actually generate returns, and for investors who need permission to stop waiting for the perfect deal and start taking action. If you have ever felt stuck in analysis paralysis, Tim's story is the push you need to hear today. 5 Powerful Takeaways How Tim turned a $250,000 mobile home park with 26 empty lots into a $570,000 asset in just 14 months by financing new homes through a manufacturer infill program during COVID Why chasing a "perfect" deal kept other investors on the sidelines while Tim built a portfolio that now spans 25 parks and over 1,100 lots The hybrid ownership model WCG Investments uses to balance park-owned homes, rent-to-own homes, and tenant-owned homes, so they never overpay for a single rigid strategy What accredited investors can actually expect to earn with a $50,000 minimum investment, including monthly distributions and a target of doubling their capital within five to seven years How Tim's long-term recovery from addiction and his multiple sclerosis diagnosis reshaped his approach to leadership, partnerships, and treating every tenant and investor like a human being first 00:00 Show Intro 00:40 Badassery Bestowment 01:01 First Deal Mindset 03:11 Meet Tim Woodbridge 04:35 Recovery and MS 09:04 Serving Residents 10:19 First Park Breakdown 14:56 Hybrid Ownership Models 16:54 Depreciation Myth 18:26 Risks and Resilience 20:03 Affordable Housing Shift 21:09 Tenants vs Investors 21:35 Recession Resistant Strategy 23:19 Investor Terms Explained 24:12 Returns Example Breakdown 25:38 Meet WCG Investments 26:30 Scaling Base Hits 28:21 Badass Books Advice 29:42 Drive Goals Systems 34:13 Partnership Tips 35:40 Defining Success Wrap   About the Guest Tim Woodbridge is the founder and acquisitions lead at WCG Investments, where he helps accredited investors build recession-resistant portfolios through mobile home park investing. He purchased his first park in December 2019 for $250,000 and doubled its value within 14 months through a strategic refinance. Today, he and his partners manage roughly 25 parks and more than 1,100 lots across the southeastern United States. A retired nurse, Tim is in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol and lives with multiple sclerosis, experiences that shape a people-first approach to both his tenants and his investors. He is currently working toward $250 million in assets under management by 2029 and is driven by a long-term goal to help end homelessness in the United States by 2050.

For years, investors focused primarily on returns. Today, the conversation has shifted toward risk, survivability and diversification. In this episode of Wealth Architects, Gaurav Doshi, President and Head of Discretionary Fund Management at 360 ONE, explains how sophisticated investors are building portfolios designed to withstand uncertainty rather than simply maximise returns. The conversation explores: • The biggest changes in investor behaviour since COVID • Why risk management has become central to portfolio construction • The growing importance of global diversification • Active vs passive investing in Indian markets • How AI can enhance, but not replace, human judgment

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hidden Causes of Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Chronic Illness: Mold, Parasites, Histamine, and Low Cortisol If you're exhausted, inflamed, and can't figure out why, the answer might be hiding in your histamine, your hormones, your home, or something living inside you that your doctor will never test for. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross, a former hospitalist turned functional medicine powerhouse who walked away from a conventional medical career after discovering that 90% of disease traces back to lifestyle, environment, and the toxins most doctors ignore. After graduating magna cum laude and earning her medical degree from the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess pursued training in functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and alternative therapies, and now helps thousands of patients reverse chronic illness through her KillBindSweat method and WellnessPlus app. She is also the formulator and CMO of Aegis Formulas and a leading voice at international health conferences. If chronic illness, mold toxicity, or hormonal chaos is on your radar, she is the person you want in your corner. Together, Dave and Dr. Jess go deep into the hidden drivers of mystery symptoms that functional medicine is finally starting to crack open. They cover why low cortisol is more dangerous than high cortisol, how histamine and mast cell activation syndrome explain everything from anxiety and brain fog to endometriosis and POTS, and why most "Lyme disease" is actually undiagnosed mold toxicity. They also break down the parasite epidemic hiding in plain sight across the United States, the B vitamin mistake making millions of people sicker, and why your metabolism, mitochondria, and mental health are all downstream of things your standard lab panel will never catch. This episode also gets into the real story behind Dr. Jess surrendering her California medical license rather than comply with a system she believed was working against patient health. Her firsthand account of the medical board process is something every person who cares about medical freedom needs to hear. You'll Learn: Why everyone who is chronically sick has a low cortisol awakening response and what to do about it How histamine drives anxiety, racing thoughts, palpitations, bloating, skin issues, and hormonal chaos Why 90% of people diagnosed with Lyme disease actually have toxic mold and how to test for both The parasite epidemic in the U.S. and why standard testing misses most of it How the spike protein reactivates dormant viruses and feeds the histamine loop behind long COVID Why synthetic B6 causes the very neuropathy it is supposed to fix, and what to take instead The cortisol, adrenaline, and blood pressure connection that explains "wired but tired" How progesterone stabilizes mast cells and why estrogen dominance fuels inflammation and reactivity Why Dave Asprey uses low-dose cortisol, dexamethasone, and modafinil as part of his daily performance stack The mold binders that actually work, and which popular ones can harm hypermobile people How nicotine at low doses blocks spike protein from ACE2 receptors and protects the brain What the MTHFR gene, methylation, and folic acid have to do with breast cancer, depression, and estrogen detox Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products. - Cowboy Colostrum | Get your gut right by going to cowboycolostrum.com/asprey for 25% off of your entire order. -Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it outDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Lucy Lieberman is a longtime digital innovator who has spent her career jumping into emerging technology before the rest of the market catches up — from early websites and streaming to loyalty platforms and AI-powered travel. She's led digital transformation for brands like IHG, Amex, and FAO Schwartz, and she most recently served as CEO of Michelin Guide Hotels during one of the toughest moments in travel history. In this episode, recorded live at the Female Founders in Hospitality Summit in early March 2026, Susan and Lucy talk about positioning, pivots, and future-proofing. What You'll Learn: • How to spot market shifts before everyone else  • How to tell the difference between "too early" and "bad idea"  • Why great tech still fails without behavior change  • When to build products people don't know to ask for yet  • Why features and amenities never create loyalty  • How to turn a crowded category into a category of one  • Why to focus on problems instead of preferences  • What it's like to lead a travel company through a crisis • How to create a North Star teams can actually rally around  • Why luxury travel exploded after COVID  • Why authenticity keeps getting more valuable & the surprising comeback of analog • Why you have to keep asking "why" • How to become the kind of founder who can run through walls *** The Takeaway: Breakthrough companies win by obsessing over friction, unmet needs, emotional connection, and the "why" behind customer behavior — not by chasing technology, features, or trends for their own sake. Being early only matters if you're solving a real problem people genuinely care about. Lucy Lieberman on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucylieberman/

Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Abdullah Sharief, Co-Founder and CMO of Panda Hub, North America's leading mobile car detailing platform. Abdullah studied medicine in Turkey, came to Canada in 2018, and has gone on to build arguably Canada's biggest car care platform. Abdullah is a straight-shooter, and I do appreciate folks like him. Launching Panda Hub with his co-founder, Reza Ahmadi, means they've dealt with Canadian VCs firsthand.His assessment? A lot of them are slow, small-minded, and are always looking for safe bets. And if we stay the same way we are, we're going to be left behind eventually.----------Abdullah and I also chat about: Giving up his medical degree The door-to-door sales experience that changed everything for himStarting a business during COVID Why you shouldn't celebrate your wins too earlyWhat he's hoping Panda Hub looks like by year 10----------Dozie's NotesA few things that struck me as I listened through this week's conversation:Being honest in business is a practical and moral position. In the early years of building a business, when everything is messy and relationships are fragile, honesty and consistency is worth more than any short-term advantage a lie could give you."Extract as much as you can from the opportunity in front of you" seems to be a better framework than goal-setting. Goals are useful, but they also create a scorekeeping mentality where you either hit the number or you didn't. Abdullah approaches it differently. He looks at whatever opportunity exists right now and asks: what's the maximum value I can pull from this? That mindset kept him from stalling when COVID killed his agency and when door-to-door sales hit a ceiling It's forward-looking without being rigid because there's always more value to extract.Survival jobs can be more than placeholders. Abdullah's door-to-door sales job was some experience; commission only, no base salary, and dealing with constant rejection. However, it taught him to connect with strangers, handle "no" without crumbling, and figure out quickly what language makes people trust you enough to buy. Those are skills that have come in handy today as he works on Panda Hub.----------Official Links✅ Connect with Abdullah Sharief on LinkedIn✅ Check out Panda Hub✅ Read our profile on Abdullah ShariefOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please consider sharing it with one immigrant you know.

What does it take to build a global equine brand from a small village in rural Ireland? In Chapter 1 of this three-part documentary series, Nicole Brown sits down with CEO Gareth Connolly at the heart of Connolly's Red Mills in Goresbridge, County Kilkenny. From a bakery in 1908 to a world leader in equine nutrition, this is the story of how a family business evolved through innovation, adversity and a relentless focus on performance. Gareth traces the journey from canal trade routes and grain monopolies to the chance conversation with Paddy Mullins that changed Irish racing history. There are sliding doors moments along the way. Two world wars. Foot and mouth. A devastating fire. Covid lockdowns. And through it all, each generation stepping up as caretakers rather than owners. At its core, the philosophy remains simple. Put the animal first. Never compromise. And make sure what's on the bag is in the bag. This is where the Red Mills story begins. Highlights The 1908 origins of Connolly's Red Mills How a bakery became a national feed manufacturer The Paddy Mullins moment that shaped Irish racing Innovation through adversity, from war to Covid Why every product is still manufactured in County Kilkenny The meaning behind "no compromise" nutrition Guest Gareth Connolly – CEO of Connolly's Red Mills and fifth-generation member of the Connolly family.

What began as a necessity quickly evolved into a mission-driven business focused on profitability, scalability, and expanding homeownership opportunities across the U.S. This conversation dives deep into how investors can generate long-term passive income while solving the affordable housing crisis—without sacrificing returns.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, sits down with fellow FNTP, Patti McCoy, Assistant Instructor at the Nutritional Therapy Association and long-time adult educator, to unpack one of the most paradigm-shifting books on mental health today: Lost Connections by Johann Hari. What if depression and anxiety are not primarily caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but by a series of broken connections in our lives? Together, Patti and Jamie explore how this book, combined with their work in functional nutrition and the Foundations of Health, can completely reframe how we view mental health, burnout, and the endless "hustle and numb" culture so many of us are stuck in. Some Topics Touched on: Disconnection from meaningful work, other people, meaningful values, childhood trauma, status and respect, the natural world, etc., and how all of this shows up as very real symptoms in the body: depression, anxiety, chronic stress, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, and "feeling like a shell" of yourself Many people are told, "Your brain is broken, here's a pill," and are given an SSRI instead of being asked, "What happened to you—and when did this start?" How childhood trauma and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) can shape the HPA axis, stress response, food relationships, and long-term health The impact of intergenerational trauma, and how science now shows that stress imprints can be passed down biologically through both mother and father The "dash lights" on your body's dashboard and why symptoms (including nausea, anxiety, insomnia, low mood) are messages, not design flaws to be suppressed How screens, constant notifications, and the pressure to respond to everyone all the time are quietly eroding our capacity for deep connection, quiet, and repair Coping mechanism: alcohol, sugar, shopping, scrolling, gaming, pornography, or Netflix - and how these become nurseries for more trauma and disconnection How the Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar regulation, a nutrient-dense diet, sleep, stress management, hydration, and movement - create the biological stability we need to heal Marriage and relationships in the age of screens – the difference between being in the same room and actually being together The loneliness of remote work and why some of us didn't realize how much we needed daily in-person interaction until it was gone The loss of third spaces and micro-communities after COVID Why "busy" has become a bizarre badge of honor, and how Distraction Detox and intentional boundaries around technology can restore sanity and presence Resources Mentioned: Book – "Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions" by Johann Hari Book – "Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind–Body Medicine" by Candace B.

For 20 years, Maria Sinclair watched other people get promoted while she stayed stuck in her own head. She questioned whether she belonged, worried about how she was perceived, and doubted nearly every decision she made. Then Covid hit, and everything changed. Cobalt furloughed 45 of its 55 UK staff, leaving only ten people working. Maria picked up multiple desks, supported clients across new specialisms, and kept the operation steady during one of the most challenging periods the industry had ever seen. That moment revealed a capability she had never fully recognised in herself. Today, Maria is the Managing Director of Cobalt, ranked 49th in the UK's Hot 100 list based on GP per employee. After 23 years with the business, she has worked her way up from recruitment consultant to MD while helping build a culture known for tenure, trust, and consistent performance. In this conversation, Maria explains how she built confidence later in her career, why she focuses on job quality over call volume, how openness about challenges like perimenopause strengthens team culture, and how Cobalt hires for work ethic and trains for market expertise. If you have ever doubted whether you are ready to lead, this episode shows what becomes possible when you start backing yourself. You'll learn: • How Maria entered recruitment after being rejected eight times • Why confidence took decades to develop • How she navigated the 2009 crash, Brexit, and Covid • Why the COVID-19 crisis became the turning point in her leadership • The cultural principles that support performance • Why job quality matters more than call volume • How Cobalt assesses work ethic and validates billings • The patience required to train recruiters from other sectors • Why expertise beats activity in the built environment Timestamps: [6:00] Breaking into recruitment after eight rejections [18:29] The confidence struggle [24:09] Navigating economic shocks [25:36] The Covid moment [28:49] The promotion that shifted everything [30:44] Being open about perimenopause [36:17] Culture and retention [41:37] KPIs that matter [50:18] Hiring for work ethic [54:29] Training recruiters from other sectors [58:13] Becoming an industry expert [1:01:06] Closing rate problems and what they mean Guest Bio: Maria Sinclair is the Managing Director of Cobalt, operating across the built environment with offices in the UK, Germany, and the US. Cobalt ranks 49th in Recruiter Magazine's Hot 100 list based on GP per employee. Maria has been with Cobalt for 23 years and was appointed UK MD in January 2024.

Nick Bienstock joins host Brandon Sedloff on The Distribution for a detailed conversation about his path into real estate, the evolution of Savanna, and what he is seeing across the New York and West Palm Beach markets. He reflects on early experiences that shaped his investing philosophy, the formation of Savanna's vertically integrated platform, and the strategic discipline required to operate in complex urban environments. Nick also offers a ground-level view of today's office landscape, including the bifurcation between high-quality assets and aging buildings, as well as the emerging opportunities driven by market repricing and renewed demand. The discussion closes with an exploration of Savanna's major new development in West Palm Beach and the long-term demographic and economic trends fueling the region's growth. They discuss: • Nick's early exposure to real estate, his education, and foundational career experiences • The creation and long-term partnership behind Savanna, including its vertically integrated model • How New York's office market has repriced, recovered, and bifurcated since COVID • Why institutional investors are slowly returning to office and how transactions are shifting • The development story and long-term thesis behind Savanna's West Palm Beach residential project Links: Savanna - https://savannafund.com/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Topics (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:32) - Nick's background and early career (00:12:24) - Founding and growth of Savanna (00:17:54) - Savanna's business model and strategy (00:22:16) - Vertical integration and market focus (00:26:41) - Current market trends and office sector insights (00:29:31) - New York's resilient recovery (00:32:25) - Challenges and strategies in the office market (00:47:22) - West Palm Beach: a new frontier (00:53:39) - Conclusion and final thoughts

What if homeschooling your children could land you in jail? In 1984, that wasn't a hypothetical—it was reality. Discover how one mom's brave stand against a state superintendent's threats helped spark a movement that changed education in America forever. Join Robert Bortins for a powerful conversation with homeschooling pioneer Zan Tyler, who began her journey in 1984 when the South Carolina State Superintendent of Education threatened her with jail for teaching her own children. This isn't just history—it's the remarkable story of how homeschooling went from illegal to celebrated in just four decades. Zan shares the incredible account of her "Patrick Henry moment" when she told the superintendent, "You'll just have to put me in jail then," and how a U.S. Senator's intervention kept her out of prison. But the legal battles were just beginning—it took eight years to get good homeschool legislation passed in South Carolina, and Zan was on the front lines the entire time. In this episode, you'll hear about: The midnight knock on the door that launched an eight-year legislative battle How 125 letters (written on actual typewriters!) sparked a grassroots movement The cultural turning points that took homeschooling mainstream—from Columbine to COVID Why colleges now actively recruit homeschoolers (and what changed their minds) The surprising story of how the U.S. Military went from rejecting homeschool diplomas to recognizing homeschoolers as top performers Why new legislative threats are emerging even as homeschooling reaches record numbers The critical importance of staying vigilant and supporting state homeschool organizations Zan's story is a testament to God's faithfulness, parental courage, and the power of grassroots advocacy.

Most people want the highlight reel of success. This isn't that.On The Top 1% Podcast with Sam Gordon, I opened up about the toughest chapters of my journey, losing half a million dollars a month, cutting my team in half overnight, and staring down $5 million in survival debt. These were the moments that could have broken me, but instead they reshaped the way I build, lead, and think today.Adversity doesn't just shape individuals; it reshapes entire industries. During COVID, when most expected collapse, our members experienced explosive growth, driving hundreds of millions in revenue, with some bricks-and-mortar businesses recording their biggest months in the very same month they thought they'd die.This conversation is about more than survival. It's about what adversity really does: stripping away ego, forcing you to find out who you are without the scaffolding of titles, awards, or net worth, and showing you that resilience is the only real currency that matters.Inside, you'll discover:How businesses grow more in hard times than in good ones (including COVID)Why money doesn't change you — it magnifies youThe hidden danger of “good times” and complacencyThe single trait that separates average performers from elite entrepreneursIf you've ever wondered what it actually takes to stay in the game when everything is on the line, this episode will give you the unfiltered truthConnect with Jack:Instagram |  jackdelosa  YouTube |  @jackdelosa  LinkedIn |  jackdelosa  Connect with Sam GordonInstagram | @samgordon_officialPodcast | The Top 1% PodcastLinkedIn | Sam Gordon TIMESTAMPS00:00 – What Defines the Top 1%02:20 – Why True Success Knocks the Ego Out of You05:40 – From $50M Growth to Facing the Storm07:13 – How I Navigated $5M of Survival Debt12:15 – The Only Way Out Is Through17:15 – Calm Seas Don't Make Skilled Sailors20:00 – Money Matters, But It's Not the Mission25:45 – Building a Culture of A-Players39:20 – The Danger of Complacency42:00 – Why Hard Times Drive the Biggest Growth50:20 – Why I'll Never Sell The Entourage01:20:57 – The #1 Trait of the Top 1%

Aaron Steffey is the co-founder and co-CEO of Propeller, an online platform that enables insurance agents and brokers to issue surety bonds instantly — without the lengthy paperwork or back-and-forth typically involved in bonding. Aaron was an insurance agent, and his co-founder cousin, Chris, was a surety bond underwriter before 2019, when they set out to revolutionize the way surety bonds are bought and sold. They initially bootstrapped with a software development partner who accepted equity instead of fees. Their first version drastically simplified the process of buying and selling surety bonds in the digital world, allowing them to grow quickly. They raised $7 million in SAFE notes from strategic partners to accelerate growth in 2021 and grow to nearly $20 million in revenue. They sold 100% of the company to Arch Capital in a strategic acquisition in early 2024. In this episode, Aaron also talks about: How this sleepy, paper-based market changed quickly in COVID Why they raised growth funding from strategic investors and not VCs Why they sold the company and are still leading the business after the sale Quote from Aaron Steffey, co-founder and co-CEO of Propeller “My biggest advice for startup founders is simply just that endurance wins. It's the whole thing of getting back up after you're knocked down, like everyone says. I had to live that so many times. So many No's when it came to our first carrier pulling out. No, I don't want to invest. No, I don't want to use your surety product.  “There were so many times when I wanted to give up. And the same with my cousin. Had we not founded the company together, I don't know that we would have continued because there were probably times when I would have given up.   “As long as both of us weren't on the floor, one of us would just pick the other up when the other person usually was more sane, and we dragged each other along.  “A successful founder needs to have a pretty high pain tolerance and endurance to succeed. You just have to keep pushing forward. It just sounds so cliche, but that's what it was for us.” Links Aaron Steffey on LinkedIn Propeller on LinkedIn Propeller website Arch Capital website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

What do you do when the world shuts down 10 days after you launch your dream business?   In today's episode of the Leaders Across America podcast, Steve Acorn catches up with Simon Fraser, a standout leader in the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program back in 2013-2015, and now the founder of Headlamp Studios, a Utah-based video production company. Simon first joined YEAA as a student at Ohio State, running a $60K branch his rookie year and scaling to over $750K in sales as a GM. But this conversation is about what came next—and how he built a business (and a life) from the ground up.   Simon opens up about leaving his job at a video company in Charleston, moving across the country, and launching Headlamp just before the pandemic hit. He shares what it was like to go from freelance survival to leading a team of 15+ contractors, working with brands like Microsoft and Aspen Valley Hospital, and producing documentaries that light him up creatively. He also reflects on how the YEAA program gave him more than skills—it gave him the mindset to keep going when things got hard.   From sharing a Jeep Wrangler with his brother to building a values-first creative agency, Simon's story is packed with practical insight, honesty, and inspiration for anyone trying to create something meaningful on their own terms.   If you've enjoyed this episode of the Leaders Across America podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!   Enjoy! In This Episode You'll Learn: How Simon started over in a new city—and new industry—during COVID Why being scrappy early on taught him to lead with creativity, not ego How he scaled Headlamp Studios while staying true to his values Why entrepreneurship isn't about speed, but about staying in the game The surprising ways the YEAA program still shows up in Simon's business Why self-awareness might be the most important skill you gain in this program Why Simon chose flexibility and fulfillment over fast growth And much more… Guest Bio: Simon Fraser is the founder and CEO of Headlamp Studios, a creative video production company based in Utah. A graduate of the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program, Simon scaled his student painting business to over $240K before joining the YEAA team full-time. After a few years in commercial video, he launched Headlamp Studios in 2020, where he leads a team of contractors and creatives producing ads, brand films, and documentaries for clients like Microsoft, Firestone, and Aspen Valley Hospital. Simon's work has been featured in multiple film festivals, and his company is known for its grassroots, story-first approach.    Resources: YEAA Website Leaders Across America 100 | CEO Steve Acorn Tells His Story Connect with Simon on LinkedIn Headlamp-Studios.com  Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Leaders Across America podcast or its affiliates.

This is the first of a four part series on work that we're calling, “Work Life.” Work can play a huge role in our sanity and happiness, or lack thereof. So today we're going to tackle some common and thorny questions with a guy who has been extremely successful at work and now teaches other people how to do so. We talk about questions such as how much work life balance should we really strive for? Is hustle culture really dead? What's the role of luck in success? How much is enough and should you bring your whole self to the office? Scott Galloway is a professor of marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business. He's also a serial entrepreneur. He's founded nine companies, including Profit, Red Envelope, and Section Four.He's served on the boards of directors of the New York Times Company, Urban Outfitters and Panera Bread. He's the best-selling author of many books, including, The Algebra of Happiness, Post Corona, and his latest book, which is called Adrift: America in 100 Charts. He's also the host of two podcasts, Prof. G. and Pivot. The latter, Pivot, which he co-hosts with the legendary tech reporter Kara Swisher. In this episode we talk about:Why work is such a big factor in determining our mental healthWhat's the number one retention factor at workHow capitalism pushes us towards living to work rather than the other way around Why Galloway believes men's sense of self-worth is so often (maybe too often) based on their ability to earn Where he stands on the idea of “bringing your whole self to work”How to get over being firedHis thoughts on side hustles, work/life balance and whether remote work will stick around post COVID Why he says being in the office is important for young workers if they want to get ahead, especially young menWhy, despite making a great living, he still has economic anxietyThe rare moments when he is able to enjoy himself and say, “this is enough”His addiction to the approval of others How Galloway handles his critics, while retaining his willingness to go out on a limb and be controversialFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/scott-galloway-573 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The woke mentality steals the ability for people to have gratitude. No matter how shitty the situation is, if we can cultivate a sense of gratitude, then it gives us the option of agency... ...I can be grateful for the challenge that I have, and then you can start moving forward, or you experience despair which means your progress has stopped and you're done. You're either going to die now or you're going to die later, but your situation isn't going to change. - Robb Wolf Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The thing about that is that you need a certain rate of economic growth to keep that system going. If you don't have a certain rate of economic growth, then the whole system collapses." - Robb Wolf   Being Ready For The Unpredictable "There will be a lot of dislocation, a lot of pain, and the people that are going to suffer the most are the people that didn't realize this was an eventuality. They didn't realize there was a possibility of a really rainy day, and maybe a rainy month, or a rainy decade. So they're going to be surprised, and they're going to be bitter, and that's going to make them really ineffective, strap themselves, and lean into the community that they have and help each other. The bright side of that, people will be more networked in the real world. People will care more of each other." - Robb Wolf   Downside Risk Mitigation "There are a lot of folks that are afraid of facing some of these darker realities because of the anxiety they produce just thinking about economic stuff and global upheaval. But a little bit of investment in downside risk mitigation really helps you sleep at night. But then the advice I need, and what I've been realizing, I've been too good at that, I've invested too much in that. I've been preparing too much for the end of the world instead of preparing for a better world." - Robb Wolf   Links From Today's Show  Robb Wolf 103 Wired to Eat - Robb Wolf 357 Robb Wolf | Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat 403 Robb Wolf | Electrolytes: How Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium Help To Beat Brain Fog Ancestral Health Symposium 071 Food Freedom Forever With Melissa Hartwig Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf Wired to Eat: Turn Off Cravings, Rewire Your Appetite for Weight Loss, and Determine the Foods That Work for You by Robb Wolf The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack,with any purchase Gavin Newsom - California's Governor 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within Naval Special Warfare Wyoming Carbon Capture facility Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.
