I asked Joe Hegner, a PIMCO alum who now runs his own hedge fund, what the pension funds and central banks he advised get wrong, and his answer was not what I expected. He explains how the same portfolio can look safe or dangerous depending on who sets the assumptions, and why the downside he thinks is least likely gets extra weight in his own fund. We also get into the helicopter over Athens that tracked down Greek tax dodgers by their swimming pools, and why he doubts the EU lasts another decade. The moment that stuck with me was his dad, a former Wall Street CEO, telling him right out of college that he knew nothing and needed 10 years first.

Mortgage consultant Anthony Marinaccio, 23 years in lending and still writing his own loans, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: he does the same volume of business today in under six hours a week that used to take him sixty. We got into the system behind that, from cutting 253 referral agents down to 14 to the consultant who stopped taking his money and told him he was at the wrong company. But the part that stayed with me was a man who built all of that, coming home at the end of a long day to photograph his own housework as proof, and what it finally took for him to file. He was winning awards and getting written up in Forbes while hating every day of it, and what he did next took almost every referral partner he had with it.

Sebastian Ness, the 25-year-old CEO who built Sure Leverage Funding out of the wreckage of a competitor that went under overnight, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: some of his traders have strung together 50 or 60 payouts in a row without ever breaching an account. We got into how his risk team catches "reverse hedging," where a trader bets both sides of the same trade across two different platforms, and how his wife's credit card, not his, funded every account he traded before Sure Leverage even existed. But what stayed with me was him telling me, flat out, that two different people broke into his house trying to get into his Bitcoin wallet, and that he still doesn't see the point of holding the coin at all.

He doubled a company's revenue to $150M once. Then he got called into an office and told it was his last day. If that has ever happened to you, you already know the feeling. Chris Mader ran an $85M company to $115M as interim CEO. The board had already promised him the job in writing. Then the founder needed $4M in payroll cuts, and Chris got the call anyway. I asked him how you rebuild after doing it exactly right and still losing the seat. Chris was Player of the Year in the minors. The next year he led his team in every offensive category and still got released. He turned that into MTA Consultancy, built on a rule you will recognize: he will not work for a leader he cannot believe in. You probably cannot walk away from a bad boss tomorrow. Chris built a business so he never has to again.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Chris Mader Get his book, “ Make the Adjustment”: https://bit.ly/4xDPGRL Listen to " Make the Adjustment Podcast " on all your favorite platforms!

I tore up my Wharton MBA on camera a couple of months ago, so I was curious what Joshua Lindsey would say about his. He was making 50 thousand dollars a week at 25, had already helped put close to 30,000 ATMs across the Western United States, and then went back and paid his own way through an Ivy League executive program at 28. He hung the paper on the wall and told me he still isn't sure it did anything for him beyond letting him tell his friends he'd done something too. We get into how he went zero to 12 million in his first year on his own, what it cost him when his partners went rogue, and why he thinks a first-time entrepreneur is better off buying a business than starting one. If you're weighing a degree against a few years of actually doing the work, start here.

When Ruh Fahim sat across from me, every blood panel he'd ever taken came back "fine," yet he'd once had brain fog so bad he couldn't finish a sentence. We got into how the real problem wasn't in his labs but in the walls of his house, the food on his plate, and a story he'd carried since childhood.

In this episode, I talked with Frank Lipinski, who bet on himself instead of college, built real wealth in crypto by twenty, and learned that money solves far fewer problems than most young men assume. We break down the simple twenty-minute-a-day habit that can lift you into the top 5% at almost anything, the brutal math that makes college one of the worst investments around, and the dating illusions guys cling to. He also shares the loss of his father, gone just six weeks after diagnosis when Frank was nineteen, and how it changed the way he values time, money, and everything in between.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Listen to "Entrepreneur Podcast” on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4hKw8GB  Connect with Frank Lopinski Website: https://bit.ly/4cOoBD5  YouTube: https://bit.ly/4cnS2vC  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4cJIcnS  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4g4aU57  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:12 - Meet Frank Lipinski 01:59 - Why he skipped college 04:00 - The FaZe house that inspired him 05:00 - Failed businesses and a Facebook ban 07:07 - Conflict with his dad 09:30 - Discovering crypto in 2017 12:00 - Why college is the worst ROI 13:46 - AI, jobs, and the talent stack 17:45 - Taking a year off after crypto 23:43 - Moving to Scottsdale 25:10 - Med spa business and dating 33:40 - The dating market truth 46:27 - Losing his father at 19 53:01 - Marriage, kids, and tradeoffs 59:38 - Rapid-fire questions 1:01:13 - Why success can make you miserable Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4wpqfCN Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4v6rnKm  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4v2ALyr  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4gP3hjI  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4y2VZze  X: https://bit.ly/4v3Xfza  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4awQRJv  SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

Ohio State head wrestling coach Tom Ryan,  the man who brought the Buckeyes their first national title, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: hand him almost any seventh grader, and if that kid fully commits, he'll be winning 75% of the time by his senior year. We got into the system behind that, from the "marbles in a jar" principle to walking on at Iowa when Dan Gable didn't even know his name. But the part that stayed with me was how a man nothing in wrestling could break found his way through the hardest loss a parent can face, and the "chosen suffering" philosophy that carried him.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Tom Ryan Website: https://bit.ly/4wnppWD  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4wkPzJG  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4wkPB4g  X: https://bit.ly/4g34WQN  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4wip0og  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:23 - Meeting at Iowa wrestling camp, 1983 05:04 - Cut from basketball, finding wrestling 08:38 - Jay Robinson and 120 workouts in 30 days 09:35 - Why wrestling rewards preparation 10:43 - The marbles-in-a-jar principle 11:35 - Leaving a full ride at Syracuse 17:28 - Walking on at Iowa, Gable, the Steiners 22:13 - First head job at Hofstra, two scholarships 26:31 - Why great coaches were great wrestlers 29:21 - The three C's: competence, connection, character 31:32 - Losing his five-year-old son 35:41 - Ohio State as a new beginning 45:35 - Wrestling as training for business and life 50:07 - Recruiting: green flags and red flags 52:20 - Logan Stieber and emotional control 55:06 - Writing "Chosen Suffering" 1:00:07 - Suffering as a synonym for love 1:04:07 - The research behind his faith 1:11:22 - Competing with a hand sewn shut  Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4wpqfCN Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4v6rnKm  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4v2ALyr  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4gP3hjI  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4y2VZze  X: https://bit.ly/4v3Xfza  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4awQRJv  SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

I always thought the thing keeping people stuck was their circumstances, until I realized most of us are the wardens of our own prison, holding the keys the whole time. In this one, I sat down with Kyle and Chase to get honest about victim mentality, why 20 minutes a day can put you in the top 5% at anything, and the blind spots that quietly wreck successful people. If you've been waiting for something outside you to change, this is the conversation I wish I'd had at 30.

Rob Koll is one of the winningest coaches in college wrestling history, and he lived inside the Foxcatcher mansion with John du Pont before the murder that shocked the sport. In this one, he told me things I've never heard him say publicly: the gunshots in the walls, why he finally left, and how he built a dynasty at a school that gave zero scholarships.

I sat down with Adriana Martin, who landed in the U.S. at 21 with nothing but five jobs and a $6-an-hour gig babysitting two windup toys at a mall door. What blew me away was how she taught herself to sell anything for free, studying QVC hosts at three in the morning, and turned that one skill into a career on TV. We get into the wedding-tip trick that changed her whole approach to money, the moment she realized she was an entrepreneur, and why her dad's prediction that she'd "be back in three months" is exactly what kept her going. If you've ever felt stuck trading hours for a paycheck, this one's for you.

You might think self-sabotage is a discipline problem. That if you just wanted it badly enough, you'd stop repeating the pattern. But the truth is the opposite: your brain is sabotaging you on purpose, because it's doing exactly the job it evolved to do. In this conversation, coach Michael Mahoney breaks down what he calls "the game of the mind", the constant hum of worry, fear, anxiety, and doubt that most people mistake for reality.

I used to think the people who turn their lives around are the ones with the most willpower, but Johnny Parsons convinced me it's the opposite. When I sat down with the voice behind Discipline & Legacy, I wanted to unpack one of the most stubborn lies we tell ourselves: that we are whatever we've always been. Johnny spent his twenties and early thirties cycling through addiction, jail, lost custody of his son, and a family that had every reason to give up on him, but what got me was that his turning point wasn't a program or a slogan. It was a single idea: who you were yesterday has no veto over who you decide to be tomorrow.

My guest today sold the same company four times and built over a billion dollars in exits doing it, in pest control, of all industries. David Royce walks me through how he kept his "golden goose" (the sales force and executive team) every time he sold, rolled the cash into the next venture, and rebuilt without ever giving up equity. We get into how that took him from zero to 500 million in eight years, why fast growth nearly bankrupted him first, and the 5 am text that pulled his father out of hospice.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with David Royce Website: https://bit.ly/3R7BpNm  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4vDqY3f  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4eDttfK  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4gdSvU2  Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 02:10 - Growing up and early life 02:27 - Dad ran public companies then lost everything 03:56 - Stumbling into pest control by accident 04:51 - Zero sales for five days then top rookie 05:03 - How he learned to sell 05:41 - Making $225K in one summer 06:49 - The light bulb moment 08:06 - Almost bankrupting the company 09:57 - Managing cash while growing fast 10:22 - Sales psychology that changed everything 13:01 - Lessons from three exits 13:14 - Sell the book keep the team 15:16 - Other industries where this works 16:25 - Building the same team across companies 17:50 - White collar culture in a blue collar industry 18:11 - The book that changed everything 20:39 - Green and red flags when hiring 21:55 - Hire slow fire fast 22:46 - Why he recruited missionaries 23:50 - Sold the company and what's next 25:33 - Having two daughters 26:37 - Teaching kids resilience 27:10 - Losing their home in the LA fires 29:06 - Staying in the middle politically 31:24 - Social media and brainwashing 32:05 - How he thinks about legacy 33:20 - Is college still worth it? 37:05 - Private school vs homeschool 40:06 - How he thinks about AI 43:54 - When AI becomes dangerous 45:12 - AI and the future of medicine 46:26 - AI as a better therapist 50:10 - Flying his dad out to save his life 53:23 - 30 Acts of Kindness app 55:17 - Chick-fil-A vs McDonald's 56:22 - Servant leadership and developing people 59:02 - Servant leaders vs visionary jerks 1:01:11 - Where to find David Royce Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman Podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
