Hello Misfit Nation! Welcome to another episode of The Misfit Entrepreneur.  Before I jump in, if your new to this watching the show on YouTube, hit the subscribe button below, give this video a like and comment as well; we do our best to respond to all comments as timely as possible. Yes, I'm back. It's been a couple of weeks since I released a new episode, and today's show is a little different—but maybe one of the most important I've ever done. Why? Because over the last five weeks, I've been on a journey—a journey of healing, of physical and mental challenge, of patience, and of rediscovery. And I want to share some of the incredible lessons I've learned along the way. You may or may not know, I had a pretty major setback with my back. A disc extrusion at L3-L4 compressed a nerve and literally made it so I couldn't stand, walk, or sleep without pain. I went from top-tier Ironman athlete—training 15 to 20 hours a week—to someone who couldn't even put on socks without pain shooting down my leg. And I want to be honest—it was humbling. It shook me. But in that experience, I found a deeper level of discipline, resilience, and focus than I've ever tapped into before. And that's what I want to talk about today. Because the lessons I've learned in healing my body translate perfectly to building a business, growing a team, and leading in life.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Josiah "JJ" Hartling. If you've ever wanted to understand the mindset and strategy behind sustained high performance, JJ is the guy to learn from. He is the author of Stride and the founder of Compel Global, where he helps leaders and organizations harness their full potential through intentional action and discipline. But what really caught my attention is JJ's philosophy on the power of relentless momentum. In Stride, he talks about how small, consistent actions—taken daily—are what separate the extraordinary from the average. He shares how elite performers don't just wait for inspiration; they create it through habits and systems that keep them moving forward, no matter the obstacles. As he puts it, “Success isn't about speed—it's about stride. The right rhythm, maintained over time, beats raw talent every time.” That quote alone got me fired up to have him on the show.

Welcome to another solo edition of the Misfit Entrepreneur! I want to talk about something that I've mentioned a number of times on the show, but most people overlook—and that's sitting down to ask themselves, “What do I truly want?” I've had more people reaching out asking me for my thoughts on how they better design their life and find true meaning and purpose. I think people are starting to realize that too often, we chase results without really knowing our own core values. And if you're not clear on what you believe in, you're not going to get what you want. So, in this episode, we are going to dive deep into how building your very own “personal operating system” can change your life. We'll look at why knowing your core principles matters, how I built mine, and I'll give you a simple five-step process to do this for yourself.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Dave Rosenberg. If you have ever wanted know what it means to be radically accountable, Dave is the guy to learn from. He is a former F-14 naval officer (think Top Gun) who founded Locked On Leadership, a premier leadership development firm who has worked with well over 100 organizations helping them to learn what it means to lead and build high performing teams. If that is not enough, he is also a multiple black belt across several martial art disciplines. One thing that really cause my attention was that during his time in the military, Dave had a lot of leadership roles, but in one role he spent over 100 days leading a team of sailors during preparations for Desert Storm. As he says, “That was one of the most intense leadership experiences of my life. Morale was a constant challenge, and I quickly learned that motivation wears off, but inspiration lasts. The right words at the right time made all the difference in keeping my team focused, engaged, and mission-ready.” It was this quote that really peaked my interest to have him on the show. ​www.LockedOnLeadership.com To see the full show notes and Misfit 3 for this episode, go to www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com.

Today's question comes from Stalla Bella. And she asked, how can I break the cycle of needing to hire more staff to scale my business, but not having the funds to hire, while also not being able to generate more funds without additional staff? What strategies can I use to overcome this challenge?  Kate discussed the challenges of scaling a business without sufficient funds and emphasized the importance of financial hygiene, building a 3-month buffer, and investing in staff iteratively. She suggested starting small with staff, using subcontractors, and focusing on roles that directly impact money. Kate also encouraged the audience to join the Misfit Entrepreneur group on Facebook for more discussions and to submit their questions for a daily podcast.

He is a serial entrepreneur who's had businesses in Construction Trades, Contracting, Mail Order, Pharmaceuticals, Real Estate, & Business Coaching.

You may have heard of him, not so much from what I I've shared, but as the host of two very popular podcasts, “Profit Tool Belt” and “Cabinet Maker Profit System.” He's also the author of the book Construction Millionaire Secrets.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Ed Hajjim. Ed is a long-time Wall Street executive and entrepreneur with over 50 years of experience. Most people that hear his origin story are amazed that he ended up where he has. But, in reality, Ed has one of the best stories that is the truest testament to the American Dream and what is possible that I have ever heard. And I'm excited for him to share it today. But first, I mentioned 50 years' experience. Here is a little bit of Ed's pedigree… Ed has held senior management positions with the Capital Group, E.F. Hutton and Lehman Brothers before becoming chairman and CEO of Furman Selz. He was the co-chairman of ING Barings, Americas Region; chairman and CEO of ING Aeltus Group and ING Furman Selz Asset Management; and chairman and CEO of MLH Capital. Presently, he is chairman of High Vista, a Boston-based money management company. In 2008, after 20 years as a trustee of the University of Rochester, he began an eight-year tenure as chairman of the university's board. Upon assuming that office, he gave the school $30 million—the largest single donation in its history—to support scholarships and endow the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through his Family Foundation, he has made generous donations to organizations that promote education, health care, arts, culture and conservation. Ed is the author of several books including, the Road Less Traveled: An Unlikely Journey from the Orphanage to the Boardroom.

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives. Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I'm going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don't hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Dane Espegard.  This conversation today holds a special place for me as Dane is division leader for Vector Marketing.  Some of you may know Vector or even worked for them as they are the company behind Cutco knives.  I have talked about this before, but I initially cut my teeth in selling and paid for my college selling Cutco.  Everyone that works for them is a contractor building their own business, whether a salesperson, district, division manager and so on.  To get to running a division means you are one of the best at developing people, especially young people.  And over 2 decades, Dane has built a division that has sold over $51 million in cutlery!  A $50+ million-dollar business selling knives primarily through high schoolers and young adults.  If you can do that, you are doing something right.  So, you can understand why I've invited Dane on the show to share his secrets for building a great business and organization.   It's great timing too as he has released the book, The Dream Machine: A Leader's Guide to Creating Teams of High Performers Who Achieve Extraordinary Outcomes.

How did she do it and go on to build such a great company re-inventing the way flowers are bought?  Well, it's those lessons and principles that I want to dig in with her in this episode.

I have been wanting to do a show for a while on where things are going with the US economy and where we fit into the history of the rise and decline of empires because there are some striking parallels going on right now – especially to Rome. As a business owner or entrepreneur, where we are going affects you – not just the inflation we are seeing, but the dollar being challenged as a reserve currency and other happenings.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Chris Wright. We've had multiple guests on the show talking about the growth of AI and the benefits of it, but what about the potential downsides? In a world where AI can create videos and deep fakes of anyone in seconds or access individual's data from social platforms and other sources and use it: how do you protect yourself and keep control of your data, personal information, and other valuable online assets? Those are exactly the questions I had been asking myself when I was introduced to Chris Wright. Chris is a former US Army attack helicopter pilot, entrepreneur, and founder of the AI Trust Council. The AITC is building a pro-human social networking platform that helps users distinguish real from fake online. Its goal is to give users control of their meta data to create passive income and provide a mechanism to help steer the direction of A.I. The council aims to ensure humans are empowered with the tools necessary to establish trust to build a pro human future. I think this is one of the most important topics for entrepreneurs to understand and find opportunity in over the next decade and Chris is on the bleeding edge, so I asked him on the discuss how we can not only protect ourselves, but also maximize our potential in the age of AI.
