From the brutal truth about Facebook ads and shared leads to why AI can't legally cold call, he breaks down the four-part system that turns any contractor into their own lead generation machine.

Spencer Martin of Beyond the Peloton / WEDU / Peacock's Tour de France team & Andrew Vontz, co-host of the Beyond the Peloton podcast & creator of the Choose the Hard Way podcast & newsletter talk about why 15 minute training sessions count and how we get it done on the road, at the playground with the kids or at home. We're both dads, bike racers and recovering perfectionists who have found 15 minutes is plenty of time to get in an impactful workout. Marketing might persuade you to think you need an hour, a $20,000 bike, and a $12 recovery shake to stay fit. You don't. We talk about how to train when you're traveling, at your kid's soccer practice or living out of a GoRuck bag. Andrew shares why he always has a TRX and a GoRuck bag in his truck wherever he goes and brings it with him on the road. Spencer shares his Drago-style hill sprint workout secret and why carrying your child might be the ultimate force multiplier to build strength. This episode is part of an experimental series of short episodes exploring real-world functional training for real people with busy lives who are committed to staying fit. Whether you're racing Unbound, BWR, Mid South, Overland, Gravel Worlds, or just a busy parent who enjoys running, riding, lifting, hybrid training, Hyrox, or being able to get off the floor after a Netflix binge without injuring yourself, your fascia and breathwork will thank you for listening to this stunning episode.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if your faith crisis unlocked millionaire secrets? In this captivating episode of Dropping Bombs, I bring you solar sales powerhouse Tyler Bastian—who went from knocking doors at 13 with a squeegee to building a $50M empire at VITL Power (half-acquired by Freedom Forever). The real story isn't just the money—it's how he turned devastating family tragedies (losing his brother, sister, and father) into unstoppable mental fortitude that made him a door-to-door legend. Tyler reveals why solar isn't dead (despite the haters), how his 15-year-old son banks $100/hour washing windows, and the brutal truth about sales: if you're not making $20K/month, you're selling the wrong sh*t.   Here's the no-BS playbook: Door-to-door sales teaches rejection immunity and financial freedom faster than any college degree. Tyler breaks down why Utah breeds D2D champions (Mormon missions = rejection boot camp), how to handle "no soliciting" signs the right way, and the mindset shift separating six-figure earners from quitters—it's not about avoiding rejection, it's about controlling your energy recovery time. If you're trapped in a low-wage grind, swapping your precious time for scraps, here's your wake-up call: step up to commissions, master your mindset, and attack every door like it's your golden ticket.

Send me a Text!I'm sharing the story I used to keep to myself—how I hit burnout, gained over 55 pounds, and lost touch with the version of me I truly wanted to be. It wasn't dramatic… it was daily.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/   Ever wonder how the elites turn market chaos into millions overnight? In this straight-shooting Dropping Bombs episode, Joel Kraut—former Wall Street options trader turned real-estate operator—pulls back the curtain on going from Black Monday's $10M day to pioneering a BRRR-style playbook that everyday investors can actually run. He strips away guru fluff and explains why most people never tap real-estate goldmines, how to build cash-flowing single-family portfolios, and why you must leverage the cycle instead of fearing it. This is Wall Street chaos turned Main Street wealth—delivered by someone who lived both.   Here's the blueprint most gurus skip: automate $500/mo into an S&P 500 index (compounding toward ~$1.8M in 30 years), then accelerate with covered calls. If you've got $50K–$250K sitting idle, this convo shows exactly how to put it to work—and why mentorship collapses your timeline from a decade to 18 months. From personal rock bottoms to mentoring thousands, Joel's message is simple: commitment over interest, mindset over money, and now is the time to buy—before the big players scoop it all.  

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the people of Israel eventually begin to understand the high cost of wanting a king. But, quick fixes rarely end well, and choosing to follow only God would have been the answer.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ “Cancel culture is powerful because we put up with it.” What if speaking the truth—even when it costs you—was the only way to keep your freedom? In this timeless throwback of Dropping Bombs, the late Charlie Kirk—founder of Turning Point USA and host of The Charlie Kirk Show—goes straight at cancel culture, free speech, and the small actions that actually move the needle. Be the same person in public as you are in private. Vote with your dollars. Build your own audience. Don't let silence hand the mob a win. From Jon Gruden to buy-cotts, school boards, city councils, and the slow grind to reclaim your community—this is a blueprint for courage in real life, not just online.   As a powerhouse conservative voice who mobilized millions of young voters, Charlie doesn't hedge on the hot buttons: life begins at conception, boycotts work, and mindset shifts beat outrage every time. A key Trump ally, Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, and bestselling author (The MAGA Doctrine, Right Wing Revolution), he hammers the playbook: build your own audience, support the good guys, and refuse to let the regime win. If you're done with power games, here's your wake-up call: sacrifice, speak out, and make your actions count—because saving America isn't a quick fix.   Note: This episode has been edited from a conversation that originally aired in 2021.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Samuel's sons chose not follow God, and it affected both the community, as well as the nation. Living life the hard way separates us from God, and when trouble comes, we want a quick remedy, compromising our future, and the future of our children.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Ever feel like the corporate machine is stealing your soul? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Glenn Llopis—leadership strategist and best-selling author—blows up the elite playbook that boxes people in and keeps teams running at –60%. Glenn shows why burnout and “quiet quitting” are symptoms, not causes—and why this is the most opportunistic time in history if you awaken your identity. You'll get the power moves to reclaim it: double down on your passion, audit your network for real reciprocity, and run personalization at scale—identity first (then skills), value creation over compliance, and roles built for enterprise-wide ownership. He hands you the lens and the tool: Seer / Sower / Grower / Sharer plus the free Workplace Serendipity Assessment to reveal how you naturally create opportunity.   Glenn gets real with stakes and stories: the janitor-to-executive rise behind a household snack phenomenon, the gut punch of feeling unworthy (and how to beat it), and the rule that decides your future—choices, not excuses. Glenn shows how to measure capacity (what people are truly capable of), see opportunities others miss, and build cultures where individuality accelerates execution instead of getting managed out. If you're done letting the system write your story, this is your wake-up call to break the box, seize the moment, and build your own playbook.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that despite the cost, the Israelites insist on what they want. Like other nations, they want a king to lead them. God eventually grants their request, but it's a sobering reminder for us to choose the easy way versus going against God's plan for us.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend money, and how hard it is to keep it? Solomon did. In Ecclesiastes 5, he describes what happens when people clutch their possessions and gamble everything to get more. The result is insecurity, regret, and anger. But Solomon also shows us a better way—a way of life marked by gratitude, contentment, and joy. In this episode, Stephen Davey walks us through Solomon's two case studies—one man who guarded his riches until he lost them all, and another who viewed life, work, and possessions as gifts from God. Along the way, you'll discover four priceless gifts God has given every believer: the gift of life, the gift of enjoying what you have, the gift of accepting where you are, and the gift of enjoying what you do. Rather than chasing more and losing what matters most, this passage invites you to redeem the gifts God has already given. When you live with gratitude and surrender, you can move forward with joy and anticipate your eternal inheritance with Christ. Don't miss this powerful reminder that the better way is obedience—and the greatest gift is learning to find satisfaction in God Himself. Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if doing hard sh*t on purpose was the fastest way to build a multi-company empire? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Buck Holly—Marine veteran, world champion shooter, and founder of C&H Precision—goes from broke farm kid in Minnesota to leading multi-million-dollar plays in precision manufacturing, software, and performance nutrition. He built gear warfighters trust (red-dot pistol optics, optic mounting plates, limited-run pistols), invented early drone tech as a defense contractor, and hires misfits with grit over pedigree. Buck says it straight: comfort destroys success, real-world exposure crushes racism and homophobia, and the government keeps people divided on race and guns so they never build anything that lasts.   Then he hands you the operator's playbook: buy the machine you'll need next year, overstaff so you never miss demand, and when suppliers squeeze you—build it in-house. He's rolling out AIM Software to replace agency spreadsheet chaos, expanding BullyWerx to manufacture parts and run youth EV kit programs that teach real manufacturing, and pushing Ruck Pack (featured on Shark Tank) to fuel performance without junk. If you're done with fragile supply chains, influencer gear, and borrowed narratives, steal Buck's model—do hard sh*t, make it easy to buy, and build companies that outlast trends.  

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this raw Dropping Bombs episode, Justin Georgopoulos—founder of Trade Launch—shows how he went from butcher-shop shifts to a $6M+ painting company and a seven-figure-a-month GC by 27. He hands you the blueprint most contractors ignore: own demand with simple ads + door-knocking, present quotes at the kitchen table (not by email), price with production standards, and use AI renderings on the spot so buyers see the result and say yes. Most contractors lose deals by emailing quotes. This is how you stop working in the business and start running an asset built on sales, systems, and discipline. Then he gets ruthless about scale: train estimators who close $2–4M/yr, stack selfie-style Facebook ads with canvassing, pre-qual hard, and run tight SOPs/KPIs so jobs deliver without you. You're not a roofer, painter, or GC—you're a sales & marketing machine that happens to build world-class work. If you're stuck on the tools, this is your wake-up call to leverage AI, own the demand, build the machine, and cash out big.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if losing $400K to a crooked partner, battling PTSD, and raising a special-needs son still wasn't enough to stop you from building an $8M empire? In this raw, unfiltered episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Vincent “Vinnie” Biancamano—first-gen Italian, ex-firefighter, and founder of Hot Shot Hardscape & Pools—on how he went from his dad's basement and maxed-out cards to becoming one of the fastest-growing custom pool builders in Scottsdale and nationwide.   This isn't HGTV—it's the brutal truth about backyard resorts. Vinnie exposes why most pool contractors cut corners, why the cheapest bid usually becomes the most expensive mistake, and how six-inch-on-center steel cages, soil engineering, and waterproofing separate luxury builds from disasters. His message is simple: if you want bargain basics, call someone else—but if you want a backyard resort that looks like Vegas and lasts like concrete, Hot Shot will fly anywhere to build it. For entrepreneurs, builders, and parents fighting uphill battles, this is your wake-up call to bet on discipline, lead with character, and let results do the talking.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if you could turn your business into a $10M exit in just 24–36 months? In this raw, no-BS Dropping Bombs episode, I sit down with Lance Bachmann, the blue-collar dealmaker who's run the same play six times: partner with great operators, scale fast, then sell to real private equity—and do it again. He's already stacked six eight-figure exits (with more on deck) and his mission is clear: deliver life-changing checks, not empty promises.   Lance drops the traps most owners miss—“search funds” posing as PE, debt-loading deals, and why you should skip earn-outs unless the upfront is real—and the operating discipline that makes buyers line up: daily KPIs by 6:02 AM across every company, and the mindset shift that your roofing (or any trade) business is first a sales & marketing machine. He also shows how conferences and masterminds multiply valuation through relationships you can't buy. If you're chasing a $5M–$10M outcome instead of a lifetime “maybe,” this is your wake-up call.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ "We're about to enter the most opulent era in human history... but only if you survive the shift." What if the AI boom isn't about innovation—but about wiping out the middle class? In this bombshell episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Perry Belcher—marketing legend, co-founder of DigitalMarketer and Traffic & Conversion Summit, nicknamed “The Billion Dollar Man” for generating billions in sales.   Perry drops hard truths about the AI apocalypse barreling toward us: how Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI are slashing $150K jobs for million-dollar machines, and why it's creating an opulent era for the rich while erasing everyone else. Drawing chilling parallels to historical slavery for economic dominance, he exposes how Big Tech is engineering control—not opportunity.   But here's the twist—you can survive the shift. Perry breaks down insider hacks on branding, aesthetics over copy, and pressure prompting AI so you outsmart the system instead of being crushed by it. From his $750M Bezos regret to why design trumps everything in 2025, this is the raw playbook for anyone who refuses to get left behind.  

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if 90% of entrepreneurs are doomed to fail in 2025... but you could beat the odds? In this explosive episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Ryan Pineda—ex–pro baseball player turned real estate mogul, investor, and digital disruptor—who went from broke rookie to building multiple 7- and 8-figure companies before age 35.   Ryan doesn't sugarcoat it: talent won't save you, hustle alone won't scale you, and why most people stay broke. From flipping hundreds of homes and launching a 200-agent brokerage to building Wealthy Investor and his newest play, Mastermind 19, Ryan's blueprint is simple—stack recurring income, leverage brand, and make your money work harder than you do. He even drops bombs on why YouTube golf may mint more millionaires than the PGA Tour—and how faith, free will, and discipline are the ultimate edge in business and life. Ryan also drops truth bombs on Tai Lopez's alleged Ponzi scheme involving bankrupt businesses—discussing investor risks, accountability, and why due diligence is key in a rigged economy.   This isn't motivation—it's a wake-up call. If you're tired of watching others win while you grind in circles, Ryan's story proves you don't need a league, a lottery ticket, or luck. You need the right playbook—and the balls to run it.
