In this episode, I sit down with Megan Lightcap, partner at Slow Ventures, which recently raised its $64 million creator fund to back creator-led businesses. While both Megan and I operate at the intersection of venture capital and the creator economy, we approach it from very different angles, which made for a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation. We unpack the structure of Slow Ventures, explore what ownership looks like in the digitally native age, and discuss the evolving relationship between creators and capital.

Entrepreneurs are often caught in a nonstop race—chasing revenue, scaling businesses, and pushing harder every year. The result? Burnout, strained relationships, and the feeling that freedom is always out of reach.Pete Vargas knows that cycle firsthand. He's built multiple 7- and 8-figure companies, filled arenas with his “stages” model, and partnered with names like Grant Cardone and Tony Robbins. But the constant hustle left him unhealthy and searching for a better way.In this episode, Pete shares the turning points that shaped his journey—from growing a youth group from 3 to 800 kids, to helping speakers land 25,000+ stages, to creating Wellspring, a mastermind for entrepreneurs who want to win in every area of life. And now, why he's stepping away for a 90-day sabbatical to reset his faith, health, relationships, wealth, and business.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) The life-changing power of one message. Pete shares how a single talk moved his estranged father to seek reconciliation after years of abuse—and how it inspired his mission to help others use stages to impact millions.2.) How to turn crisis into record-breaking success. When COVID canceled his $5M live event, Pete pivoted to virtual and generated over $12M—setting the model leaders like Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone still use today.3.) Why slowing down is your greatest edge. After building multiple 7- and 8-figure companies, Pete is taking a 90-day sabbatical to reset his faith, health, and family—and shows how pressing pause can unlock your best ideas.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/256Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

if you're a subscriber, hi! It's been a minute. And by a minute I mean it's been almost a year.That's because one of the main reasons I do a podcast is so that I can educate myself and after hundreds of interviews, I felt like I'd learned everything I could about how to build authority with a book. I even used many of those interviews in the book I published in 2023, also called On Good Authority.I was surprised to discover that despite not posting any new episodes, this podcast has been kicking along—remaining in the top 1% of podcasts just because new people are finding the show, or some of you authority junkies are listening to episodes over and over?Anyway, lately, I've been feeling that podcast itch again: that craving for the mic. And I also started a Substack that I've loved writing. One day recently it occurred to me that the Substack could have an accompanying podcast and then it occurred to me, hey I already have a podcast – it's just been lying dormant. And so I've renamed the show Behind the Book Cover, same name as my Substack.Now I'm going to be focusing less on how to build authority from a book and more on the past, present and future of book publishing, as I see it.The past is the traditional publishing model, which means I'm going to spend the first season talking to authors who come from that world. We're going to dive into the things no one wants to talk about: the tough days that follow getting the book deal.Season two will focus on the present: entrepreneurs that are earning literal millions as a result of their books, and how they're doing it.And season three will delve into where book publishing is going, with a special focus, of course on AI.So why am I passionate about this new direction now? I'm so glad you asked!The Penguin Random House trial in 2023 revealed a lot that had previously been secret—namely, that 85% of book advances never earn out and Random House got its name because, as the CEO said in the trial, they never know which books will succeed so it's random!The reality is that most authors make less than minimum wage. And here's the kicker—the entrepreneurs who get caught up in these publishing fantasies often end up worse off than when they started. They're so focused on impressing agents and publishers that they forget their actual goal: growing their business.So I'm going to be talking to authors about why traditional publishing dreams often backfire for business owners. I'll introduce you to smart entrepreneurs who use books strategically—not as lottery tickets, but as lead generation machines and authority builders. And I'll expose what the publishing industry doesn't want you to know about how this business actually works.Think of this as the same as On Good Authority but with a sharper edge. Depending on when you're hearing this, I've either already released or am weeks away from releasing the show you know and love but fine tuned for your success. Same juicy interviews, same truth-telling, just more focused on what actually moves the needle in your business instead of feeding publishing fantasies that lead to disappointment.Whether you're thinking about writing a book, struggling with your first one, or wondering if any of this makes business sense, these conversations will save you time, money and heartache.Because here's the thing: once you stop chasing publishing validation and start using books as the business tools they actually are, everything changes. And I can't wait to show you how.Welcome to Behind the Book Cover.

When I sat down with Mike McDerment, founder of FreshBooks, his story reminded me why narrowing focus is often the smartest path to growth. In this Bite-sized episode, you'll hear how Mike turned a small design problem into a billion-dollar company by obsessing over one specific customer segment.Mike shares how he resisted the temptation to serve everyone, instead targeting only web designers for seven years. That focus built a loyal base and drove word-of-mouth growth far beyond the niche. He talks about bootstrapping from his parents' basement, raising small angel rounds, and running lean until the first big $30m investment a decade later.If you're stuck wondering how to get your business moving, this conversation is a blueprint: start small, serve one customer type brilliantly, and let focus fuel scale.Key Takeaways:Identify one clear customer and understand their pain better than they do.Avoid the trap of believing “everyone” is your customer. Focus creates growth.Bootstrapping forces discipline and builds resilience before raising big capital.Word of mouth is powerful when you serve a niche exceptionally well.Scaling requires patience and deliberate planning, not shortcuts.

Bobbi Brown (Still Bobbi: A Master Class in Leading an Authentic Life) is a make-up artist, entrepreneur, and author. Bobbi joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why the motto "the less I do, the more I'm me” is her secret to happiness, realizing she wasn't stupid but that things that are boring don't interest her, and her tips to a happy 37-year marriage. Bobbi and Dax talk about learning how to design make-up looks by working for film and theater departments in college, making her first lipstick after accidentally meeting a chemist, and that make-up is really about relationships. Bobbi explains why she doesn't believe in correcting but in enhancing, why it didn't make sense for her to change what the brand was built on as it grew, and that to her natural beauty is not a trend.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. In this week's, full-length episode, as a part of the BRAND NEW Legacy Led CEO Series, Stepping Into Legacy Led Leadership,  Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon issues a prophetic call to entrepreneurs who know deep down they were not called to be a moment, they were chosen to be a movement. If you've hit high income but still feel heavy, this episode will help you see that the problem isn't strategy, it's identity. You'll discover the four levels of leadership identity (Business Owner, Entrepreneur, CEO, Legacy-Led CEO) and explore the mindset and mantle required to build from eternity, not just economy. If you're done playing small, tired of hustling for visibility, and ready to lead with conviction, anointing, and legacy, this episode is your spiritual recalibration. It's time to stop scaling chaotically and start stewarding strategically. Wealth with permanence requires identity with power—and this episode is your invitation to claim it.  This episode will disrupt your comfort zone, reframe your business identity, and call you out of hiding. It will invite you to step into the full weight of your divine assignment—not just to build a business, but to carry a movement. You'll learn how to lead like a Legacy-Led CEO, how to distinguish your momentum from your mantle, and how to stop building from ego and start building for eternity. This is your wake-up call to stop playing small and lead with strategy, soul, and spiritual conviction. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Redefine Legacy. Legacy is not an amount — it's an assignment. Start building with the awareness that your business is a spiritual blueprint for generations you'll never meet. Audit Your Identity. Take inventory of who you're being in business. Are you leading like a tired operator… or a Legacy-Led CEO? Shift your posture before you shift your plans. Shift from Validation to Visitation. If you're building to be seen or validated, you're building from ego. True wealth comes when you're building from your divine visitation — a God-given mandate to lead. Affirm with me: I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement.   And this week's journal prompts are: The part of me that is still building from a moment instead of a movement is… When I imagine myself as a Legacy-Led CEO, I feel… I am no longer available for leadership that feels like…   And Your Prayer of the Week: Heavenly Father, Thank you for reminding us that we are not just building businesses — we are birthing blueprints. We surrender the desire to hustle for worthiness and instead align with your mandate to multiply. Help us remember that legacy is not just what we leave behind but what we leave in others. We ask for courage to lead from our mantle, wisdom to steward wealth with peace and purpose, and the grace to stop hiding and fully show up in our assignment. May we be bold, obedient, and faithful stewards of the movement you entrusted to us.   Want more of Darnyelle?

Today, Jesse is joined by Hanna Horvath—Certified Financial Planner, managing editor at Bankrate, and author of the Your Brain on Money newsletter—for a deep dive into the psychology behind our financial decisions and why money is never just about numbers. Together, they explore how unconscious “money scripts” formed in childhood shape lifelong habits, why emotional discipline matters more than willpower, and how anxiety shows up even for people who have “won the game” financially. Hanna explains how retirement brings not just financial questions but also an identity shift, making purpose and values as important as portfolio allocation. They discuss strategies for reframing our relationship with volatility, using fire-drill style planning to prepare for downturns, and creating small gaps between emotions and actions to avoid costly mistakes. Throughout, Jesse and Hanna remind listeners that building lasting wealth is less about chasing fads or quick wins and more about cultivating awareness, resilience, and intentionality in both mindset and money. Key Takeaways: • Money is never just about math—it's deeply tied to psychology, emotions, and unconscious beliefs. • Emotional discipline means creating space between feelings and actions, not trying to eliminate emotions altogether. • Retirement isn't just a financial transition—it's a major identity shift that can create anxiety even for those who are financially prepared. • “Fire drills” for your financial plan can prepare you emotionally and practically for downturns before they happen. • Social media and sensational financial headlines amplify fear, making discernment and discipline even more critical. • Retirement satisfaction depends on aligning money decisions with personal values, whether that means family, travel, community, or freedom.

Serve first. Win later. You will learn that and more in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Our special guest for today is entrepreneur and general contractor Bo Jones. Bo is a builder by trade, but even more so, he's a builder of futures. As the CEO of CareerPathway.com, Bo is leading a movement that's reimagining how we connect talent with opportunity. On a mission to radically simplify college and career exploration, he's helping students, job seekers, employers, and educators navigate a clearer, smarter path to success. His inspiration? Real pain points like watching his construction company pour time and money into outdated recruiting strategies with little return, and witnessing firsthand how difficult it is for his own kids to find purpose in their career journeys. Bo also serves as President of Tru-Built Construction, a full-scale design/build construction firm with decades of success in residential and commercial development. But he's more than a successful entrepreneur; he's a passionate problem-solver who understands the disconnect between education and employment. He built CareerPathway.com out of pure necessity to streamline the process, amplify exposure for schools and businesses, and give individuals something they've been craving all along: clarity and confidence about their futures. If you're tired of workforce challenges, struggling talent pipelines, and missed connections in hiring and education, this podcast will feel like a breath of fresh air. Bold, approachable, and relentlessly motivated, Bo brings powerful insights and straight-talk solutions to anyone looking to build something meaningful for themselves, their teams, or their communities. Bo shares how showing clients every bid, budget, and line item upfront creates trust and transparency, and how that model fuels repeat and referral business. We talk about the highs and the lows, and how strong client relationships make all the difference.  Get ready to hear what happens when innovation meets action and why Bo believes we're just getting started.   Ripple with Bo Jones LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bo-jones/ Websites: careerpathway.com, tru-built.net   Ripple with Steve Harper Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.   #Construction #Trades #Entrepreneurship #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerExploration #CustomHomes #Multifamily #OpenBookConstruction #Nebraska

In this episode, I share how putting everything on your calendar—even the smallest tasks—can transform your productivity and peace of mind. I talk about my own journey with calendar blocking, why it's so effective, and how it helps reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. You'll hear practical tips for scheduling everything from work projects and family time to errands and rest, plus why building in buffer time is essential. I also discuss how this habit gives you the freedom to say yes to what matters and no to what doesn't, and how it helps you spot patterns where you need more support or boundaries.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Lauren Cassidy, Founder/Executive Creative Director – LC Studio Productions. She unpacks how showing up as your best self, seizing opportunities, and evolving through every challenge leads to success and fulfillment. In today's episode, we discuss: Embrace a “greatness over perfection” mindset to fuel creativity and avoid stagnation. Lauren learned that seeking perfection sets ceilings and fosters disappointment, while aiming for personal greatness keeps you evolving; by shifting your mindset this way, you allow yourself room for growth, more creative output, and less self-judgment, which benefits anyone seeking fulfillment and innovation in any field. Align your work and life as closely as possible with what you love. Lauren insists on infusing her passion for music and creativity into her work, and when that's not possible, she finds ways outside of work to feel fulfilled; everyone benefits by seeking or creating alignment between their passions and daily activities, which boosts motivation and overall life satisfaction. Stay open to unexpected career forks and don't fear following your curiosity. Lauren's pivotal choice between a theater tour and an HBO job taught her to pursue new opportunities even without guarantees; you too can learn from serendipitous crossroads, as flexibility and openness often lead to bigger breaks and more satisfying work than rigid planning. Use pressure as a moment to pause and collaborate rather than panic. When faced with a high-stakes challenge with Joan Rivers, Lauren demonstrated the value of staying calm and working with her team. So, when you find yourself in a similar situation, remember that stressful moments are best met with composure, seeking help, and trusting your problem-solving skills. RESOURCES: Guest Bio Lauren Cassidy, the founder of LC Studio Productions, has spent her career staging productions that come to life both on-screen and in person, where strategy, storytelling, and execution meet. Picture a show where C-suite executives are the lead actors, the brand is the script, and the audience is everyone from consumers to business partners. Her role? Casting the right team, directing the production, making sure the lines land, and yes, reminding people that Post-its are not, in fact, a filing system. Lauren brings all the pieces together so that when the curtain rises, the story doesn't just play. It sticks. During her 17 years at AMC Networks, Lauren built and led an internal creative studio that doubled as a powerhouse production crew for five core brands and streaming platforms. She produced everything from record-breaking campaigns and B2B activations to all-hands meetings that looked suspiciously like late-night variety shows. (Think executives who never thought they'd sing suddenly nailing a parody number with surprising confidence.) Along the way, she earned a reputation as the connective tissue, linking strategy to execution, creativity to business goals, and vision to reality. Awards, industry recognition, and happy executives were part of the outcome, but the real thrill was watching teams she mentored flourish in the spotlight. When she's not orchestrating corporate blockbusters, Lauren borrows inspiration from theater, music, and pop culture while also fronting a rock band. For her, work has always been about building the right ensemble, setting the stage for success, and giving people a reason to lean in. Whether it's a breakthrough campaign, film festival, upfront, social impact PSA, or an executive keynote, Lauren believes the show must not just go on; it should leave an impression worth remembering.

Affiliate marketing is far from dead. In fact, it's evolving faster than ever. While many have written it off as an outdated model, the smartest affiliates are quietly cashing in by adapting to shifts in algorithms, AI, and consumer behavior. In this week's podcast, Greg sits down with Niels Zee, affiliate entrepreneur, author, and co-founder of Afframp. Niels breaks down what's working in 2025 and how top affiliates continue to rack up big wins. Niels shares how the Google Helpful Content Update completely reshaped his entrepreneurial journey, pushing him to rethink strategies and embrace adaptability. He reveals why pivoting and staying flexible are the real superpowers for affiliates, and how to scale faster with tactics like negotiating above-market commission rates and using Google Ads to supercharge campaigns. We also dive into how to build long-term sustainability instead of chasing short-term wins, and how to evaluate offers that are actually worth promoting.

ANDREWS: Margaret teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a private leadership development firm. Her MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) course has had a wait list every time it's been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. Margaret's expertise is grounded her own experience—a previous boss once told her that while her business results were great, her interpersonal skills were highly lacking. The exact phrase he used was, “you're not self-aware.” To change, Margaret looked for insight from famous leaders to management studies to disciplines like philosophy and psychology. At the end of the day, she found that the basis for powerful, effective leadership comes from within—from understanding yourself and then managing yourself toward the leader you want to become—also known MYLO. Margaret has taken her MYLO approach and distilled it into her first book, MANAGE YOURSELF TO LEAD OTHERS: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding (Basic Venture; September 16, 2025).
