Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or someone chasing that next level, this podcast uncovers what it actually takes to turn an idea into momentum.Julian shares what most founders don’t: the pressure, the risk, and the moment he placed a $25,000/month payroll bet on himself before the business even opened. From fixed costs north of $60K/month to the decision to hire a six-figure employee with no revenue yet in sight, Julian breaks down what it means to “burn the ships” while staying disciplined in the chaos. He talks openly about hiring mistakes, cutting the wrong people quickly, filling every role himself when needed, and how ignoring early operational fires almost cost them everything.But the heart of this episode is Julian’s inner engine — a lifelong, fearless belief that he can figure anything out. He explains how “delusional optimism,” a lack of fear conditioning, and a willingness to take calculated danger became the foundation of Overtime’s momentum. From scaling on social, connecting with major influencers, navigating regulation, and doubling revenue month after month, Julian shows how mindset drives execution… and how execution builds empires.This is a raw, honest deep-dive into risk, belief, and what it really takes to scale a business from nothing.📲 Follow Elliott on IG: @elliottcaldwell https://www.instagram.com/elliottcaldwell/  🏡 Follow The Rise Collective: @the_rise_collective_ https://www.instagram.com/the_rise_collective_/ 🌐 More about The Rise Collective: https://rise-collective.com/  🔑 Explore BnB Turnkey: https://bnb-turnkey.com/  📩 Subscribe to the STR Report newsletter: https://thestrreport.com/  📲 Follow Julian:Instagram: @juulianbecerra https://www.instagram.com/juulianbecerra?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==📲 Follow Overtime Men’s Health:Instagram: @otmenshealthhttps://www.instagram.com/otmenshealth?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Tiktok: @otmenshealthhttps://www.tiktok.com/@otmenshealth?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: @otmenshealth https://youtube.com/@overtimemenshealth?si=sLCcjME44nsEruTA
