  • When Losing Everything Changes Everything

    When Losing Everything Changes Everything
    Mar 27 2026
    In today’s episode, I join the Behavior Bitches podcast to share the moment my greatest fear came true and how it ultimately reshaped my life. After losing more than $100 million and going bankrupt, I had to confront the ego, habits, and beliefs that led me there. I talk about the lesson my mom taught me in that painful moment, why receiving is just as important as giving, and how community and shared values create real opportunity. We also discuss why surrounding yourself with the right people matters, the danger of doing business with “dicks,” and how responding to fear with humility, gratitude, and accountability can completely change your trajectory.

    Reinventing Healthcare Starts With Dignity
    Mar 26 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Nadia Tedeschi, founder and CEO of Mylo Medical, whose approach to innovation starts with dignity. After witnessing firsthand how outdated medical equipment impacts patients and caregivers, she set out to redesign a system that hasn’t changed in over 400 years. We talk about how her product improves hygiene, reduces labor strain, and lowers costs while restoring a basic human experience in healthcare. Nadia shares what it takes to turn frustration into invention, how to think through both design and business at the same time, and what patience really looks like when building something with massive upside.

    Building a Brand That Lasts
    Mar 25 2026
    In today’s episode, I sit down with former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman to talk about life after football and what it really takes to carry success beyond the field. We get into how passion drives performance, why so many athletes struggle after retirement, and how to find something that gives you the same fire that once came from the game. Shawne shares lessons on building and protecting a brand, the value of licensing, and why humility keeps everything in balance. We also talk about fatherhood, legacy, and the importance of staying grounded while continuing to grow.
