The Value Race

I’ve been away for a few weeks, and there’s a reason for that. It’s not what you might think. I’ve been at my limit, grinding it out and struggling to find even 20 minutes to record, let alone the mental bandwidth to share my current state. In this episode, I’m being honest about the reality of entrepreneurship that doesn’t make the highlight reel. We’ll discuss why high performers struggle to let...

Look... you feel like you're too busy, too stressed, too caught up in the daily grind to change your life. But here's what'll blow your mind: the problem isn't that you can't change.

I visited a dealership doing 300 units a month while I'm grinding to hit 30. You'd think I'd come back discouraged, right? Wrong. Here's what hit me: we're not that different. Our foundation's actually stronger. We just haven't been in the game long enough. Look, I've been questioning everything lately. A year and a half of resistance will do that to you. Ma...

Look, I'm gonna be real with you... I didn't even know who Charlie Kirk was three days ago. But watching people celebrate a man getting murdered in front of his KIDS? That broke something in me. And before you come at me about politics or whatever—just stop. This ain't about left or right. This is about me spending 10 years locked up for attempted murder, then watching "normal&...

In this episode of The Value Race Podcast , I open up about a powerful lesson I recently revisited with my mentor, Arthur Hughes (who’s still serving a life sentence in Florida). You’ve probably heard the advice: “Don’t look back, only focus on the future.” But here’s the truth: that’s not just bad advice, it’s unbiblical. The last two years in business have been some of the hardest I’ve faced. Af...

Look... I counted every single day. 3,650 days behind bars. Yeah, I'm that guy who literally counted down a DECADE of his life in a Florida prison. But here's the thing that'll blow your mind...

You know that feeling when you're building momentum... eight years of grinding, everything clicking, staff trained up, leads flowing, property deals happening... And then it all just... stops.
