Hormozi Boardroom Tea — My Vegas Recap | Ep 149 08.04.2026 24:45
This episode is basically me debriefing my Hormozi boardroom day in Vegas in real time. Not a polished recap. Not “here are my takeaways.” Just what I saw, what stood out, and what I’ve been thinking about since leaving that room. Because I’ll be honest I didn’t expect to walk out feeling the way I did. There were a few moments in that room that made me pause a bit and look at my own business diff...

In this episode, I break down the real signs your business wouldn’t survive without you and what to fix before it becomes a problem. We...

You’re Allowed to Want What No One Around You Has | Ep 141 11.03.2026 17:54
Just because no one around you has it doesn’t mean it’s unrealistic. It usually just means your nervous system hasn’t seen it yet. In this episode, I break down why big desires — like a private chef, private flights, or a different standard of living — often get labeled as “unrealistic,” even when they clearly exist in the real world. We talk about why manifestation falls apart for most people (an...

The Numbers You Must Know Before You Go on Dragons’ Den | Ep 137 25.02.2026 21:42

How to Hit Your 2026 Financial Goals | Ep 133 11.02.2026 22:06

There Are Only 3 Ways to Increase Profit (And You’re Avoiding One) | Ep 131 04.02.2026 19:43
Cash flow feels complicated because founders make it complicated. In this episode, I break down the truth most people avoid: there are only three ways to increase profit. Sell more. Charge more.

We talk about the real system gaps that quietly drain cash, why founders hit ceilings without realizing...
Money Magnetism Starts in the Nervous System, Not Your Bank Account | Ep 129 28.01.2026 13:33
Money magnetism isn’t about manifesting more. It’s about feeling safe enough to hold what you already make. In this episode, I talk about what I see again and again when I review women’s finances. Late invoices, underpaying themselves, constant stress around cash flow. Not because they’re bad with money, but because they’re operating in survival mode.
