EP771 - Toby Potter on Mastering Wealth Through Discipline, Not Hype

In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to Toby Potter.  Toby talks to us about Mastering Wealth Through Discipline, Not Hype. Toby Potter is a speaker, entrepreneur, and unflinching truth-teller built from the ashes of rock bottom. After losing everything — money, marriage, purpose — he didn’t rebuild with motivation; he rebuilt with fire. His story isn’t one of easy wins — it’s forged from pain, grit, and relentless discipline. Today, Toby equips men to reclaim their edge, restore their vision, and build lives they’re proud of. He’s not for the crowd chasing comfort or fake hustle. He speaks to the broken but not done — the ones who still hear the call to rise, lead, and fight for something real. With a background in real estate, capital raising, and high-stakes negotiation, Toby brings practical strategies wrapped in emotional warfare. His workshops and keynotes fuse tactical wealth-building with raw inner work. Because Toby knows: if the man isn’t built right, the empire will collapse. He’s coached contractors, entrepreneurs, faith-driven men, and underdog leaders across the country — helping them kill their excuses, sharpen their discipline, and step fully into the fire of their potential. Whether he’s speaking on stage or coaching one-on-one, Toby’s message is simple and searing: comfort is the enemy, and the man you were born to be is on the other side of war. Toby Potter doesn’t motivate. He resurrects.
