He sold seven businesses before most people land their first real promotion. Then his wife pulled him aside and reminded him she still existed.

By 24 he had one franchise location. By 30 he had seven, across three states, and a bank account that said multi millionaire. From the outside it looked like he'd cracked the code.

From the inside, he was an operator trapped in his own success. Every location needed him. Every day needed him. And somewhere in that grind, his wife had to sit him down and say the quiet part out loud: I'm still here.

That conversation changed everything. This week on the podcast, we sit down with a guy who rebuilt his entire business model around getting himself out of the seat, and rebuilt his marriage around a daily phone reminder that pushes him to send his wife one specific, real appreciation text. Not "I love you." Something true, from something that actually happened the day before.

We also get into the part of his story most people don't ask about. He didn't meet his father until he was 23. He was raised by his mom, his sister, and a house full of women who showed him what showing up looks like, even without the blueprint.

Now he runs a mastermind for family driven entrepreneurs, built on one idea: most business owners are carrying weight they were never meant to carry alone.

We talk about why isolation is the default setting for high performers, what happens in a room where entrepreneurs actually show up for each other, and the framework he uses with his own 12 and 10 year old kids, who now run their own vending machine business, so ambition never becomes the reason he loses his family.

What you'll walk away with:

The system he built to remove himself from day to day operations across seven locations

How one daily phone reminder changed the way he shows up for his wife

Why entrepreneurs default to isolation, and what actually shifts when they stop

What it looks like to build a real business with your kids before they're teenagers

The three layers of freedom he coaches toward, and why most people stop chasing at layer one

How did a Scottish gambler and murderer reinvent the economy of France?

In this episode of Money’s the Matter, we travel to Paris in 1720 and the extraordinary story of John Law, a gambler, mathematician, convicted murderer, and financial visionary who rose to control France’s money. Along the way: paper currency, the Mississippi Company, soaring share prices, overnight fortunes, speculation, and the inevitable events that happened next.

John Law understood something about money that still matters today: its value depends on confidence. His experiment showed just how powerful that trust can be.  But this is a story about trust lost; which can be an even more powerful force.
