Podcasts about Work ethic

Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________  #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________  Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Why does relaxing feel so hard? Why does sitting on the couch for 20 minutes feel like a moral failure? We break down the guilt of "unfinished" downtime, the pressure to turn every hobby into a side hustle, and why rest isn't something you have to earn. Plus, a listener question on feeling worthy that isn't tied to what you can do for others. We also share some workout recs that came in for Amy's weightlifting journey, plus a voicemail from a listener who wants Kat to know just how powerful (and even euphoric) an unmedicated birth experience can be, straight from someone who's done it twice.

Michigan's Growing Pains bred and grew the Banana Taffy, entered it last minute, and beat every California grower in the Proper Smoke League.Tom and Seth of Growing Pains came up through Michigan basements, illegal caregiver traps, and the gray market years before a single license existed in the state. They built a 300-light indoor operation, bred their own genetics, and then flew to California and won. This is the full story.In this episode, JP sits down with the Proper Smoke League champions to unpack what it actually took to get here. They break down why the Banana Taffy nearly did not get entered, how harvest timing and their in-house dueling process shaped a Michigan craft cannabis operation that now competes with the best growers in the country, and what separates a craft cultivator from a production farmer in the current market. If you have ever wondered how Michigan cannabis growers stack up against California, you will have your answer by the end of the first hour.Tom tells the real GMO origin story on record for the first time: three Chem Cookies seeds popped by his buddy Billy in a Michigan basement, the corn-stalk structure that gave it the name, and why Ann Arbor dispensaries refused to sell anything called GMO and renamed it Garlic Cookies. They also get into the Motorbreath 15 history, the genetics game-changer moment that shifted Seth's entire growing approach, and what the cannabis industry loses when people consume the product wrong. This episode covers the craft, the business, and the culture that built Growing Pains from the ground up.Good PizzZa documents real cannabis culture, the growers, the breeders, the legacy operators, and the stories that do not get told anywhere else.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. This week on Voices From the Bench, we finally sit down with someone we've been wanting to have on the show for a LONG time—Philip Gold! Philip grew up in the dental laboratory, quite literally pulling teeth out of formaldehyde bottles in his father Raymond Gold's lab in Atlanta. His father started the laboratory in 1946, and Philip eventually found himself following in those footsteps, although not without first taking a seven-year detour working for Williams Gold. That experience gave him the opportunity to visit laboratories all over the country, learn from some of the best in the industry, and see firsthand how different labs operated. Philip eventually returned to the family laboratory in 1980 and began the process of taking over from his father. What followed was a career built around learning, adapting, building teams, and—most importantly—relationships. Philip shares what it was like stepping into a leadership role at a young age, earning the respect of experienced technicians, and learning that being a leader isn't about knowing everything yourself, but understanding the work well enough to help the people around you succeed. He also talks about selling the laboratory to National Dentex with the goal of giving the business and its people an opportunity to continue growing, only to eventually find his way back into the laboratory world with By Design Dental Studio alongside his daughter Katie and Denise. And if you know Philip, you know he's never stopped learning. He currently holds six CDT certifications, including ceramics, crown and bridge, partials, implants, dentures, and digital. His story about preparing for the digital practical exam is a perfect example of his determination—his first practice run took seven and a half hours for an exam designed to be completed in just over five. So he reorganized, practiced again, changed his workflow, and eventually got it down to under five hours. And of course, Philip isn't pursuing certifications just for himself. He wants to set an example, motivate the next generation of technicians, and encourage more people in the laboratory to continue learning. We also get into the importance of customer service, why relationships are at the heart of this industry, and why sometimes the best thing a laboratory can do is simply pick up the phone and help. Philip shares his philosophy that when something goes wrong, you drop everything and make it right. We talk about giving back to the industry, the people who helped shape Philip's career, and how the dental laboratory community has always been willing to share knowledge when you're willing to ask. And yes… somewhere along the way we also hear the greatest “okey-doke” story in dental laboratory history. Special Guest: Phillip Gold.

Episode 005 — Stop Raising Dependents: Teaching Work Ethic and Responsibility In this episode of Raising Lions with Pastor Joseph, we talk about how parents can unintentionally create dependency by doing too much for their children. The goal of parenting is not simply to care for children while they are young, but to gradually prepare them to carry responsibility for themselves. In This Episode Why constantly rescuing children can weaken responsibility The difference between helping and enabling dependence Why work is not punishment, but part of God's design How chores and household contribution build character Why responsibility should increase as a child matures Practical responsibilities for young children, preteens, and teenagers Why small failures can be valuable teaching opportunities How to begin again if your teenager is already 15, 16, or 17 Why privileges should be connected to responsibility How to teach teenagers the relationship between work and money Why parents should stop paying for every want The difference between needs, privileges, and wants How part-time work can teach accountability and discipline The four stages of transferring responsibility: I do it for you We do it together You do it while I supervise You do it yourself A practical 30-Day Responsibility Reset for your home Key Takeaways Responsibility must be trained before it is required. Children do not suddenly become responsible adults when they turn eighteen. Independence should be developed gradually throughout childhood and adolescence. If you carry every burden for your child, do not be surprised when they never develop the strength to carry one themselves. Parents should provide love, guidance, protection, and support while also allowing children to experience age-appropriate responsibility and consequences. Work ethic is learning to do what needs to be done even when you do not feel like doing it. The home should be a safe training ground where children learn diligence, contribution, stewardship, perseverance, and accountability. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 2:15 Proverbs 6:6–11 Proverbs 10:4 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Colossians 3:23 30-Day Responsibility Reset Week 1 — Audit: Identify what you are still doing for your child that they are capable of doing themselves. Week 2 — Transfer: Give them two or three clearly defined responsibilities. Week 3 — Stop Rescuing: Reduce reminders and allow reasonable consequences to teach. Week 4 — Add Financial Responsibility: Give older children an age-appropriate area where they begin managing money or paying for personal wants. At the end of the month, evaluate their progress and begin adding responsibility as their capability grows. Final Challenge Ask yourself: What am I currently doing for my child that they are fully capable of doing for themselves? The goal is not to raise children who depend on us forever. The goal is to raise capable, responsible adults who know how to work, serve, manage their lives, and honor God with what He has entrusted to them.

Frank LaRosa says the problem with young financial advisors is not work ethic, it is training. Frank opens with a story about a young advisor he has been mentoring, a twenty-three-year-old working on the asset management side at a wirehouse who was outperforming his targets but getting dinged for small administrative mistakes. Frank explains the advice he gave him and why building your own book of business might be the harder but more rewarding path compared to joining an established team. Stacey widens the conversation into something bigger, the age gap opening up in the industry between advisors in their late fifties and sixties and the wave of twenty-three to thirty-year-olds coming in behind them, with almost nobody in the middle. Frank frames it as a barbell problem, pointing out the gap in the middle where mid-career advisors should be and explains why it is creating real opportunity for young advisors, even if most of them do not fully realize it yet. Frank does not soften his opinion on where the real failure sits. He argues that big firms preach hard work while their own people clock out at five and that most of the industry has quietly abandoned the old school training programs that actually produced successful advisors. He breaks down what real training used to look like, why cold calling still works and why rushing new advisors toward designations like the CFP before they understand the business is a mistake he has watched play out for years. The episode wraps with a direct challenge to firm owners and independent practitioners. If you are bringing young people into this business, you owe them a real system and enough time to succeed, not just a desk and a quota.   Questions answered in this episode include: Should a young financial advisor join a team or build their own book of business? What is the age gap problem happening in the financial advisor industry right now? What is the barbell approach and why does it matter for advisor recruiting? Why do old school training programs work better than what most firms offer today? What mistakes do firms make when training young financial advisors? How many cold calls should a trainee financial advisor be making every day? Why is it a mistake to push new advisors toward designations like the CFP too early?   Chapters: 00:58 Introduction: Nobody Is Training Young Advisors Anymore 01:59 The Mentoring Story That Changed Everything 03:19 Wirehouse vs Building It Yourself 08:34 You Don't Know What Hard Work Really Is 17:05 Why Firms Need to Bring Back Old School Training 21:42 Getting Younger Blood Back Into the Business 24:05 The Barbell Problem in Financial Advisor Recruiting 29:10 How to Reach Frank and Stacey   Learn more about Elite and our resources: - Elite Consulting Partners: https://eliteconsultingpartners.com - Elite Marketing Concepts: https://elitemarketingconcepts.com - Elite Advisor Successions: https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com - JEDI Database Solutions: https://jedidatabasesolutions.com - Elite Wealth Management Insights Report: https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report - Listen to more: https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elite-consulting-partners/

"Never in my life have I felt so grounded, so strong, so centered. Austin, Texas, is my home. This city—this community—is my family. My work, everything I have worked so hard to build and everything I have worked so hard to become, finally has a safe place to nest and expand.I didn't realize until very recently that I had never felt truly at Home—until now.Now that I know what it feels like to come Home—to safety, rejuvenation, beauty, and peace—I realize what I have finally created. Not only a home for myself, but an oasis for my beloved community.A sacred thread running through my identity has always been Work Ethic and Follow-Through. Another word that comes to mind as I reflect is Integrity. When I say I will do something, that means it's done. No matter what it takes, I reach the finish line. And bringing Ayurveda to the masses has been the greatest and most rewarding use of that gift.I do it for God. I do it for Love. I do it to set a precedent for the next girl or boy dreaming of a career in Ayurveda—or pursuing another noble and worthy cause, whatever that hero's journey looks like for them. I want to give them the ability to see it and believe that it is possible.It took me a long time to embrace my role as a Leader. To accept my own innate worthiness. It took exactly as long as it took. But here we are.For context, I grew up feeling deprived of Love. I was starving for it throughout my 20s and well into my early 30s, which drew me into all kinds of unhealthy relationship dynamics—with myself and romantic partners.But my parents were kind enough to acknowledge my work ethic. I could sense that it made them respect me. So I ran with that—quite literally. From my first New York City Marathon at 18 to the eight-year marathon of becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor.This season begins at a new threshold. We are no longer asking whether Ojas Oasis can work. The clinic, the podcast, the online store, the merchandise, the partnerships, and this growing community have answered that question.Now we are asking: How far can it expand? After a 90 minute hot Vinyasa class this morning, I got my answer to that question. It can expand as much as I can hold and allow it to expand. Which means, everything that has happened prior to this season, built incredible tolerance and strength into my vessel. Which means, great power can flow through it. Life humbled me enough and purified me enough, to realize that great power is a great responsibility, gifted to those who can use it to help others. The leaders I have seen fall from the greatest of heights, fell the moment they tried to hold on to power, vs let it flow and let it go as it chooses. I have experienced life without love, without money, without friends, without certainty. Therefore, the fear of losing or the fear of dying, has been conquered. Because I have already lost 1000 times, and died 1000 times.In order to serve you all as deeply as I intend to, it requires constant up-leveling on my part. I am always looking at where I can grow, improve, and transmute my ego.This is what I call Dharmic Equity: the trust, capacity, and enduring value built when ambition is governed by service. It is not power we hoard; it is value we steward.9 seasons and a billion miles later, we are and continue to be proof of concept.Thank y'all for staying by our side as we pave the path into the next season.  For our true fans and listeners, our first edition merch is now available: an Ojas Oasis t-shirt in 3 gorgeous colors: navy blue, ghee yellow, and blush pink. 100% cotton, available both in the clinic and online at www.ojasoasis.com/shop A simple reminder to keep your cup full, protect your Ojas, and your inner peace." - SashaSend us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

Send us Fan MailIn S2E37, we accidentally start with the fastest outro-intro combo ever before getting straight into Robby waking up to emergency poop pains and both of us comparing unfortunate shit-yourself stories. From there, we get into payday beers, no-judgment rules, Ian bouncing back from a rough work week, and Robby realizing that working with Hannah may not be the issue as much as his own delayed hearing and processing in a loud bar. We also talk about people being confidently wrong, the weird contradiction of having a strong work ethic but being lazy at home, video game burnout, World of Warcraft achievements, digital gratification, Robby's old four-wheeler, Ian disappearing mid-recording, and Robby carrying the end of the episode solo with dog updates, Whatnot plugs, no wasp attacks, and a surprisingly peaceful moment watching trees move in the wind. Support the show

“If you do nothing, you will get nothing.” Former IndyCar champion Sam Schmidt joins host Alycia Anderson for a powerful conversation about spinal cord injury recovery, quadriplegia, adaptive technology, disability advocacy, neurorehabilitation, resilience, and life after paralysis. After a 180-mile-per-hour crash changed his life in an instant, Sam transformed an unimaginable diagnosis into a mission rooted in recovery, innovation, and purpose. “If you don't try, you won't know.” Sam shares how he went from winning his first IndyCar race in 1999 to surviving a devastating high-level spinal cord injury and waking up dependent on a ventilator. When doctors predicted a short life in a nursing home, his family refused to accept that prognosis. Their relentless advocacy connected Sam with intensive spinal cord injury rehabilitation that helped him breathe independently, rebuild his health, and begin creating a future with no finish line. Two important themes emerge from Sam's story: never accept one person's prognosis as the final answer, and learn how to advocate for the rehabilitation, equipment, and healthcare support you need. Sam and Alycia explore the realities of insurance advocacy, accessible healthcare, caregiver support, mental health, aging with disability, and long-term spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Sam explains how he negotiated for the equipment, therapy, and resources that supported his independence while challenging a healthcare system that too often limits recovery before it has truly begun. “Racing is my passion. DRIVEN Neuro is my purpose.” The conversation also explores Sam's memoir, No Finish Line: A Racer's Journey of Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose, his championship-winning racing career, and the growth of DRIVEN Neuro, a nonprofit expanding access to activity-based neurorecovery, adaptive fitness, neurological rehabilitation, wellness programs, and disability community support for people living with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions. Sam's story is more than a comeback. It is a call to action about self-advocacy, perseverance, accessible innovation, teamwork, and finding purpose after a life-changing injury. As Sam reminds us, progress may look different for every person, but possibility begins when we choose to take action. Racing, Recovery, Advocacy, and Purpose: The Big Takeaways from Sam Schmidt

Send us Fan MailChores can feel like daily friction, but they're also one of the clearest ways kids learn responsibility, confidence, and how to live with other people. We start with a simple question about least favorite childhood chores, then move into the real parenting challenge: how do you build a healthy relationship with work without turning your home into a battlefield or doing everything for your kids because it's faster? We walk through age-by-age expectations for chores and household responsibilities, from toddlers who want to “help” to school-age kids who can handle more independence, and into the tricky middle school and high school years where motivation changes and schedules explode. Along the way, we connect chores to belonging, family teamwork, problem solving, and the long-term development of work ethic. We also talk about why it's worth letting kids participate even when it slows you down, and how practical life skills help teens leave home as capable, self-sufficient adults. We dig into teen overwhelm and overscheduling, including how to have a real conversation about priorities, time management, rest, and the need for downtime. Finally, we share what work mentorship looks like at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, including how ownership, encouragement, and learning through hands-on projects can build workplace initiative and leadership. If you want practical parenting advice grounded in brain-based development, this conversation will give you a clearer plan for chores, responsibility, and raising adults.

Dr. Beckett interviews the Bush family of Waco: dad Ben and sons Ryan and Sterling about running a family sports card business built around Whatnot and frequent card-show buying. Ben explains they have seven children, with five family members involved: Ryan and Sterling run the Whatnot shows, Ben moderates, their sister handles shipping, and their mother manages administration. Their first show setting up was in Dallas in September 2022, and eventually shifted full time as their Whatnot channel grew. They emphasize high-volume low-end sales, disciplined buying with checks and balances, and a respectful, no-yelling hosting style rooted in the golden rule.   01:40 From Concrete to Cards 03:09 Whatnot Growth Story 04:45 Family Workflow 06:15 Buying vs Selling at Shows 07:29 Work Ethic and Going Full Time 10:44 Low End Cards Strategy 14:09 Customer Respect on Whatnot 15:57 Golden Rule Closing

This episode is a raw, unfiltered recording from a live Zoom call Balazs did with 850 leaders inside Julia's Enagic community. It wasn't planned as a podcast episode — it was a real, in-the-trenches training call, and it goes deep on the things most people want to know but rarely hear answered honestly.Balazs shares what he actually did in the early seasons of his Enagic business — the obsession, the grind, the mindset he brought from four years of door-to-door sales, and why slow periods never really took hold because he simply wouldn't allow them. He breaks down the identity evolution that happens at every rank, what it really looks like to replace yourself with leaders, and how he knew when it was actually time to step back.He also gets into blocking out noise, the moment his business kept growing while he did nothing for 30 days, and what it felt like when the people who doubted him finally said they were proud of him.If you're in the building phase right now — this one's for you.In this episode:Why self-awareness is the foundation — and how most people are lying to themselves about how hard they're actually workingThe "psycho" work ethic that had Balazs running double conversations simultaneously and outproducing everyone around him in his first yearHow he used referrals, car pools, and constant follow-up to build momentum before the tools and tech existedThe shift from being "the guy" in every presentation to letting the system do the selling — and why it tripled his close rateWhat replacing yourself with leadership actually means — and the real indicator that you're ready to slow down (hint: it's not your rank)The 30-day burnout moment after hitting dash 3 — and how that became his first real proof the business was working without himHow fatherhood shifted his approach and why he planned for presence before his kids arrivedIdentity evolution at each rank — what changes, what your new role becomes, and why it has to shift or growth stallsBlocking out the noise: what to do when your family doubts you, your social media looks cringe, and everyone's watching to see if you'll quitWhy the promised land is actually real — and what it feels like when the people who didn't believe in you finally say they were wrongDon't forget to like, share, and subscribe!Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/globalprosperityshow

Women and money is a conversation most people only have in private, if at all. Alicia Umpierre is a patent attorney with a Ph.D. in chemistry. She built her career with no family blueprint and no financial network to draw from. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten draws out the story behind the credentials. What emerges is the women and money conversation you know but rarely hear spoken out loud. Alicia grew up in Southern California not thinking about finances. No one around her had a Ph.D. She didn't even know what one was until college. Without mentors, she says she might still be testing wastewater in a lab in Ontario, California. People told her what was possible before she knew to ask. Her patent attorney career path didn't come from a plan. She followed what felt right. She left behind what didn't. A career change to law came from recognizing a dead end, not a vision. She passed the patent bar in two months, went back to school for her J.D. while raising a toddler, then had her second son during law school, and built a career most people don't even know exists. What Alicia is still working on is teaching kids about money the way she wishes she'd been taught. Her own financial goals now center on a question many women know well: how do you build wealth as a woman when you know what you have, but don't have a trusted network to help you decide what to do next? She watched her immigrant father work without rest his whole life. She doesn't want to do the same. Syama built Wealth Catalyst because women and money deserved a better conversation. If you're ready to be in the room where that conversation happens in person, the Freedom Tour salons are gathering women across 32 cities this year, and the Wealth Catalyst Summit comes to San Francisco this October.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. This week, Elvis and Barb continue their coverage from exocad Insights 2026 in beautiful Mallorca, Spain, where the conversations are just as valuable as the lectures. The episode starts with Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, who shares his perspective on educating the next generation of dentists in an increasingly digital world. The discussion explores how students are adapting to technology, why foundational analog skills still matter, and the challenge of preparing future clinicians for workflows that continue to evolve at a rapid pace. It's an insightful look at where dental education is headed and how digital dentistry is becoming second nature to new graduates. The conversation then shifts to one of the most memorable encounters from the event as Elvis and Barb sit down with Alyson Bravo, a passionate dental technician from Brazil who has traveled across the globe to attend exocad Insights. What starts as a discussion about digital workflows quickly turns into a story about chasing dreams, making connections, and experiencing the international dental community firsthand. Alyson talks about discovering digital dentistry, teaching himself advanced design techniques, and the excitement of finally meeting people he has only known through podcasts, social media, and online education. The episode wraps up with returning friend of the podcast Tobias Specht from Ivoclar. Fresh off several major product announcements, Tobias gives listeners an inside look at the collaboration between Ivoclar and exocad and how customer feedback continues to shape product development. He discusses the integration of Ivotion into the exocad workflow, the importance of training and education, and how Ivoclar works with customers around the globe to refine new products before they ever reach the market.Special Guests: Alyson Bravo, Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, and Tobias Specht.

The work that drains you isn't a discipline problem. It's a sign you've been ignoring. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill dig into what happens when a firm owner's instincts no longer match what the business actually needs. Michael makes the case that the parts of the work you dread, the growth you can't seem to unlock, and the partner you keep clashing with are all pointing at the same thing: a truth about how you're built that you've been working around instead of working with. Here's what you'll learn: How to tell whether you're a visionary or an integrator, and why forcing yourself to be both will burn you out When optimizing a business that already works stops paying off, and what to do to actually grow it How to keep a partnership from breaking when you and your partner no longer share the same appetite for risk Stop white-knuckling the parts of your business that drain you and start building toward the version that doesn't. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:37) Family life & summer camp tales (00:07:49) Q1: Visionary or integrator?

Episode 4148 │ June 2026 Gen Z doesn't have a work ethic problem. The institutions do. Gen Z won't follow systems that offer pointless work. FMX proves it. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson builds the case through the lens of Freestyle Motocross — where physics don't negotiate, the bike doesn't care about your feelings, and the consequence of insufficient preparation is a collarbone — that Gen Z's refusal to perform enthusiasm for meaningless institutional work is not laziness but clarity. The generations loudly condemning Gen Z built the gig economy, automated away the jobs they're telling Gen Z to aspire to, and created the algorithmic platforms Gen Z then turned into legitimate careers — and then called them lazy for doing it. When work earns their commitment, they are extraordinary; the indictment of Gen Z is really an indictment of what is being offered. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What does a real work ethic actually look like — and why does FMX prove Gen Z has one that most of their critics have never matched? What is the institutions' legitimacy problem — and why do Gen Z workers refuse to grant commitment to systems that cannot justify themselves beyond tradition and compliance? Who actually broke the box first — and what do the generations condemning Gen Z's work habits have to answer for before the indictment sticks?

Going viral is not the same thing as building a real business. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why chasing the algorithm can become one of the biggest distractions for entrepreneurs, and why real long-term success comes from discipline, consistency, and strong business fundamentals. Because let's be real… If your income depends entirely on whether a platform decides to push your content… You are not in control. The platform is. In this episode, you'll learn: Why viral views do not automatically create a profitable business How chasing trends can pull entrepreneurs away from the fundamentals Why weak sales systems get exposed when more attention comes in How owning your audience and customer data gives you real leverage Why fulfillment, retention, and customer experience matter more than hype Platforms change. Algorithms shift. Trends disappear. But work ethic, consistency, and strong business systems never go out of style. Too many entrepreneurs focus on: Views Likes Trends Virality Algorithm hacks But elite operators focus on: Conversions Retention Customer relationships Systems Execution Long-term value No chasing hype. No depending on lucky breaks. No building a business around attention you do not control. Just real infrastructure, direct communication, and consistent value delivered every single day. The truth is simple: The entrepreneurs who win online are not the ones who chase every trend. They are the ones who outwork the noise, master the basics, and build something that lasts.

This week, Jason is joined by world-renowned dancer, entrepreneur, and Dancing With The Stars legend, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, for a conversation about career longevity, entrepreneurship, financial lessons, family, and the relentless work ethic that has fueled every chapter of his life.Before becoming one of the most recognizable faces in ballroom dance, Maks immigrated to the United States from Ukraine with his family in search of opportunity. Arriving in Brooklyn without speaking English and with little more than determination, he quickly immersed himself in the growing ballroom dance community that would eventually become the foundation for an extraordinary career.Maks reflects on his rise from competitive dance champion to one of Dancing With The Stars' most iconic professionals, sharing how the show evolved into a cultural phenomenon spanning multiple generations. He explains why the current success of Dancing With The Stars isn't an accident, how social media transformed the show's reach, and why today's professional dancers are becoming stars in their own right.Beyond television, Maks opens up about the business side of his career. He shares lessons learned from building a nationwide dance studio company, launching new ventures, investing in businesses, and navigating costly entrepreneurial mistakes along the way. From a failed restaurant venture that never opened to learning hard lessons about money management and lifestyle inflation, Maks reveals the financial realities behind life in entertainment.Jason and Maks also discuss the importance of diversification, building businesses outside of television, and why financial success isn't just about making money — it's about learning how to keep it. Maks explains how he and his wife, fellow Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd, continue balancing entrepreneurship, parenthood, and multiple growing businesses while raising three young children.The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Maks reflects on his upbringing, his parents' sacrifices, the emotional moment his father expressed pride in his accomplishments, and the perspective he carries from staying closely connected to the ongoing war in Ukraine.Throughout the episode, Maks shares the mindset that has guided him through success, setbacks, criticism, and reinvention. Whether discussing dance, business, family, or personal growth, one theme remains constant: an unwavering commitment to hard work.From immigration and ballroom dance to entrepreneurship and fatherhood, Maks reveals what it truly takes to build a lasting career while continuing to evolve long after the spotlight shifts.Maks reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyVideo: Marc ColcerGuest: Maksim Chmerkovskiy
