When you're both having a bad day at the same time, who picks who up? 😬 In this episode, I'm getting real with you guys about what happens when both partners are down in the dumps at the same time. Between my Instagram getting restricted, constant travel, and Kirsten dealing with pregnancy nausea, we found ourselves in that rare situation where neither of us had the energy to lift the other up. I dive into the difference between masculine and feminine approaches to stress (my tendency to work more vs. taking a step back), and why it's impossible to be happy 100% of the time in any relationship. The real growth comes from learning how to coexist during those challenging moments when you're both at your worst. So if you and your partner struggle when you're both having a bad day, I'm giving you the raw truth about communication, creating space, and approaching each other with love when you're both running on empty. Because sometimes the strongest relationships aren't built on constant happiness – they're built on how you handle the moments when you're both grumpy AF. 🙌 Top Quotes: "The relationships that last are the ones that learn how to coexist in the moments where, because if I'm only happy 60% of the time and you're only happy 60% of the time, then what are we doing in that crossover?" (02:19) "That's the difference between the masculine and the feminine. For me the masculine answer is work more work more work more. And the solution is like more feminine, like fucking relax, bro. Like take a fucking step back and just breathe." (06:59) "If I'm really stressed out, I try my best to like, tell her 'I'm super fucking overwhelmed right now'... Because if you don't communicate, this is where I'm at right now. And then all of a sudden you just fucking snap over nothing, which can happen easily."

Are you burning the candle at both ends? The hidden cost of entrepreneurial hustle ⚠️ In this episode, I'm getting real about my recent burnout and the chaos that followed. After weeks of non-stop travel, speaking events, and high-pressure sales situations, I hit a wall - physically, mentally, and energetically. What followed wasn't just internal exhaustion, but external manifestations too (hello, restricted Instagram account!). The entrepreneurial hustle culture glorifies grinding 24/7, but I'm calling BS on that mentality. Because the truth is, none of us are robots. That momentum you're desperately trying to maintain? It might be the very thing holding you back from your next level of success. I'm breaking down exactly how I recognized my burnout, what it cost me, and the simple shift that helped me get back on track. If you're feeling that weight on your chest and cloudy thinking that comes with pushing too hard for too long, this episode is your permission slip to decompress without guilt. Top Quotes: "You're not a robot. And you need to take time to decompress. And the time that you think that you're taking away from your business, aka recharging your energy, is actually the very same thing that's going to catapult your business to the next level of success." (4:38) "I'm a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And so are you. You're a very powerful person. Positive and negative. And the energy that I devote usually is, this is the best fucking day of my life." (1:56) "Sometimes that roadblock that you're facing, all you need to do is take a step back. And just breathe. Decompress. And then you realize, all you gotta do is take two steps to the right and you can just walk straight past the roadblock with no problems."

When Instagram blocks your account: how to keep growing with follower ads 🚀 In this raw and tactical episode, I'm breaking down exactly what happened when Instagram restricted my account from reaching non-followers for an entire year. Because here's the truth: when you're getting 10.7-14 million views per month and suddenly lose 50% of your reach, you need a backup plan. From calculating your exact cost per acquisition to determining the perfect targeting strategy, I'm revealing my complete framework for using follower ads to maintain growth even when Instagram tries to shut you down. Plus, I share why you shouldn't even consider running these ads unless you're already at $5-10k/month. Top Quotes: "I'm a big believer in universal energy... when I feel good, good shit happens. And when I don't feel good, bad shit happens." (0:48) "If I spend $28, I get 28 followers. I'm going to book one sales call out of that... I need to get six calls booked, which means I need to start about 168 conversations to get one sale." (6:45) "I wouldn't even consider running a follower ad unless you were doing five to ten thousand dollars a month... Once you're at five to 10k month, I think it's a fucking necessity."

Because here's the truth: success leaves clues.

And in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's working right now. Top Quotes: "I follow the 80-20 rule... So 80% of the time I do a certain thing and I break the rule for 20% of the time." (1:13:50) "If you solve this problem, you're gonna book more calls... I can smell it, I just need to solve this one problem." (1:15:07) "The universe is testing you... I love this. Okay, cool.

How to handle haters and negative energy without losing your cool 💪 In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing a recent encounter with racism at my local grocery store and breaking down exactly how I chose to respond. Because here's the truth: there will always be negative people trying to bring you down, but YOU get to decide how their energy affects you. From dealing with internet trolls to handling in-person confrontations, I'm revealing my strategy for maintaining composure and not letting other people's negativity derail your success. Plus, my wife Kirsten joins me to share her (slightly more aggressive) perspective on handling haters. Top Quotes: "I get to decide how I'm going to show up. Always. And I get to decide how I'm going to respond. Regardless of what anybody says to me about anything ever, I'm just going to maintain my composure." (13:29) "Nothing comes from those back and forth 'I'm right, you're wrong' conversations. If the other person doesn't have the awareness about what they did... nothing is going to come from those conversations." (14:01) "If it's not getting you closer to your goals, why are you participating in it?"
