159 | Everything Is Math: Reverse-Engineering Not Giving a F**k - with John Whiting

John Whiting, CEO of Bulletproof Entrepreneur and Rodric’s own coach, brings a raw, data-driven take on scaling coaching businesses and life itself. 

From dropping out of college golf to pro sales, to building a company that helps online coaches scale to $50K–$100K/month in profit, John shares how tracking ratios, reverse-engineering results, and asking better questions create competitive advantage. 

They discuss why most people resist certainty (because it ends the “game”), how to define bigger goals beyond money, and why many entrepreneurs resist their own magic. 

John explains his charge clearing process for decision-making and the mindset shift that keeps him aligned: “What would I do if I didn’t give a f*** what anyone else thought?” 

If you’ve ever wanted practical math for success mixed with existential philosophy—and some humor about not sucking—this episode will flip your brain.
