Lightspeed Investing Podcast

Just wrapped up my 3rd guest appearance on The MillionaireByMorning's Podcast with my guy Rashad Thirlkill. Always a great time having real conversations around business, futures & commodities, networking, personal branding, and where the world is heading with AI. One of the biggest things I shared on this episode is this: if you are an entrepreneur, you need to start building your personal brand now. The next few years are going to change everything. AI will disrupt a lot of industries, but one thing nobody can replicate is YOU. Your story, your values, your experiences, your relationships, and the way you communicate all matter more than ever. We also talked about why networking is still one of the highest ROI skills in business, why getting in the right rooms matters, and how awareness and adaptability are becoming the real competitive advantages moving into 2030. Appreciate Rashad for having me back again. Looking forward to episode #4 already because May is packed with business trips, events, and new experiences to share. Keep making moves, keep making money, and keep making meaningful memories. 🚀 Watch the full interview on 👉 YouTube Also on 📱 LinkedIn If you've got a story to share, we'd love to feature it on the Lightspeed Investing Podcast.  Book a call here https://calendly.com/emmc022204/30min #Millionaire #Podcast #PersonalBranding #EntrepreneurMindset #FuturesTrading #CommoditiesTrading #Networking #AI #BusinessGrowth #WealthBuilding #Leadership #Entrepreneurship

Just wrapped up a great conversation on the ITUTv Podcast with Prof. Zae Holmes. We covered a lot of ground, but it all came back to one thing. How people actually perform when pressure is real. I shared my transition from pursuing surgery into building in the markets, and how discipline from sports, medicine, and business all point back to execution. Not theory. Not motivation. Just what you consistently do when conditions are not perfect. We also talked about something a lot of people miss. It is not just about what books you read, but how you apply them based on the stage of life you are in. Growth is not about collecting information. It is about applying the right principles at the right time, with honesty about where you currently are so you can actually move forward in the right direction. At the end of the day, whether in trading, leadership, or life, structure matters. Systems matter. And being able to operate with discipline and clarity under pressure is what separates noise from real progress. At Lightspeed Investing, we do not just teach trading. We build independent operators who understand risk, probability, and precision execution.

Just wrapped an incredible conversation on the Millionaire By Morning podcast with Rashad Thirlkill. We got real about my journey from pre-med and pursuing surgery to stepping into the world of investing, what actually drives wealth creation, and why proximity, mentorship, and self-awareness matter more than most people think. We also talked about breaking out of the traditional career path, building skill sets that actually separate you from the crowd, and how to position yourself in rooms where real opportunities happen. Watch the full episode on YouTube Also on 👉 LinkedIn One thing I opened up during the episode… I don't normally do this, but I'm allowing Rashad to extend a few exclusive guest passes to sit in on one of our live trading sessions.

Just wrapped up my second conversation on The MillionaireByMorning's Podcast with Rashad Thirlkill. Every time I get back on, it is less about "catching up" and more about sharing how fast things evolve when you stay in motion. In this episode, we talked about what has been driving my recent growth, from building a new luxury assets division to the importance of getting in the right rooms, investing in yourself, and creating real leverage through relationships. At a certain point, it is not about balancing life and work anymore. It becomes about integrating everything into one aligned path. One thing I emphasized is this. The world will always give you distractions. Markets, news, uncertainty. But when you are clear on your purpose and your trajectory, you stop reacting and start executing. We also touched on what we are doing at Lightspeed Investing and how we approach the markets as doers first. If you want to see how we actually operate in real time, not just theory, that is something we take seriously. If you are serious about building skill sets, creating leverage, and putting yourself in environments that force growth, this conversation is for you 🎙️ YouTube Also on 📱 LinkedIn #investing #entrepreneurship #wealthbuilding #mindset #personaldevelopment #networking #financialfreedom #luxuryassets #growth #leadership  

Most people think marketing is about building a brand first. John Dwyer sees it differently. In Episode 103 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast, I sat down with John, founder of the Institute of Wow, to break down what actually drives results in today's market. From his early days studying consumer behavior at Woolworths to generating millions in revenue through simple but powerful campaigns, John shares how direct response marketing flips the traditional model. Instead of hoping people eventually trust your brand, you give them a reason to act now and let results build the brand for you. We also talked about how the core principles haven't changed, only the speed of execution has. With the right idea, you can go from concept to cash flow faster than ever. The difference is not in the tools. It is in how you think. If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, this one will challenge how you approach growth. If you want to connect with John directly, you can reach him at [email protected] or visit theinstituteofwow.com. He also shared a campaign you can study or even use yourself at leadscontest.com.

Episode 102 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and I had a great conversation with my good friend Pete Grimes joining me from Miami. Pete shares how he went from a high-level marketing career to building a business around helping professionals turn their life's work into a book that actually opens doors. What stood out in this episode is how he reframes the idea of writing a book. It is not about royalties or selling copies, it is about positioning, credibility, and the opportunities that come from having your message clearly articulated and out in the world. We also get into how many successful people already have everything they need to create impact, they just do not know where to start, and how simplifying that process can unlock a whole new level of influence and fulfillment. If you have ever thought about sharing your knowledge, building your personal brand, or creating something that lasts beyond your day to day work, this is a conversation worth listening to 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eJAM5ya9 Pete also shared a few free resources and tools to help you get started, including ways to validate your message and even build the foundation of your book quickly.

Episode 101 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live. Had a great conversation with Nathan Gwilliam, founder of PodUp and PodAllies, and we went deep into what it really takes to build a business around a podcast today. Nathan shared his journey from building and selling multiple ventures to creating an all-in-one platform for podcasters, and we talked about why most people struggle to stay consistent, how to actually monetize beyond ads, and what separates those who treat podcasting like a hobby vs those who turn it into something meaningful long term.

🚀 Episode 100 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is LIVE Hitting this milestone feels special, and even more so with Chad Gracey joining us for this conversation. In this episode, Chad breaks down a completely different way of looking at the sports world, not as gambling, but as a strategy-driven opportunity using arbitrage and disciplined execution. We talked about how he started at 18, how the landscape has evolved with legalized sportsbooks, and how everyday people are using structured systems and data to potentially create consistent side income. What stood out to me is the mindset shift. This is not about emotion or picking winners. It is about playing the probabilities, managing risk, and thinking like an investor. If you're curious and want to go deeper, Chad is offering a free masterclass where he walks through everything in more detail. You can check it out at skool.com and search "Sportsbook Economy," then join the masterclass. Once you're in, send him a message directly and mention this podcast so you can connect with him.

🎙️ Episode 99 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live. I sat down with Kelly Cox to talk about his journey from being a VP in a conveyor company to stepping into the world of futures and commodities trading. What stood out to me most was not just his progress, but the mindset shift he had to go through. Like many high income professionals, he started off skeptical. After doing his own research and sitting in on live sessions, he realized this was real, but also understood it would require commitment and discipline. Now he's fully immersed, putting in the reps daily, and building a skill set he plans to carry for life and pass down to his family. What I respect about Kelly is that he treats this like a craft. He's not chasing shortcuts. He's focused on learning, improving, and creating a future where his time and income are fully in his control. If you're someone who's been on the fence, take this as a reminder. The opportunity is there, but it's up to you to decide if you're going to step into it or not.

Most people hear "hedge funds" and immediately tune out. It sounds complicated. Exclusive. Not meant for them. That's exactly why we had this conversation. On my guesting with Caitlin Cynthia Durning on the End of Mind Podcast, where we broke down what actually happens inside the fund space, how we operate at Lightspeed, and why this entire world is still invisible to most professionals. We talked about the difference between real estate, private equity, venture capital, and trading… why liquidity matters… and how a high-income skill set can completely change how you approach income, time, and control. At the end of the day, this isn't about hype. It's about understanding a space that was never taught to us in school, and deciding if it's something you want to explore further. If you want to see how we actually do this in real time, we're giving complimentary access to our live sessions, just message me directly and I'll get you set up.

Caitlin and I had a great time sitting down, this is a conversation that was long overdue. We talked about my journey from the medical field into entrepreneurship, how Lightspeed Investing was built alongside a group of medical professionals who became investment professionals, and why futures, commodities, and options trading continues to be one of the most misunderstood spaces in finance. We also got into hedge funds, why this part of the financial world is rarely discussed in traditional education, and how access to the right mentorship and skill set can completely change someone's financial trajectory. At the end of the day, money is simply a byproduct of the right inputs. When people learn a high-income skill set, it can become supplemental income, a full-time income, or even a full career depending on how far they want to take it. If you'd like to learn more or continue the conversation, feel free to look me up and connect with me here on LinkedIn. I'm always happy to talk about leadership, entrepreneurship, and investing with people who are curious about building something bigger. And of course, go check out Episode 96 with Caitlin.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the Finish Strong: Start Fresh 2025 Summit last November 18. That room meant a lot to me. I shared my personal journey from nearly becoming a surgeon to stepping into the hedge fund and private investment space, and why true wealth isn't about income, titles, or working harder. It's about leverage, precision, and time freedom. I talked about how the ultra-wealthy actually build wealth, why most people are never exposed to these conversations, and how futures and commodities, when navigated correctly, can become a high-income skill that gives you back control of your time and life. My mission has always been simple: democratize access to information that's usually reserved for a very small circle, and prove it live, not just talk about it. If any of this sparked curiosity, you're always welcome to sit in on our weekly sessions. We teach at night, and we go live in the mornings to show exactly how it's done in real time. No obligation. No pressure. Just exposure and awareness. If you don't see us do what we say we do, you can walk away.

Episode 95 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and this is a client success testimonial I'm incredibly proud to share. I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Fakhry, an internal medicine physician who has walked through burnout, doubt, and a breast cancer diagnosis, and still chose to fully commit to learning futures trading with discipline and patience. We talked about what made her take that leap, how trading eventually clicked for her the same way medicine does through repetition and structure, and how she now trades consistently around a full clinic schedule with clarity, confidence, and a bigger vision of freedom for herself and her family. Stories like this are exactly why I love sharing our clients' journeys, because this is what's possible when you stay grounded in your why and keep showing up.

We also explore the compounding effect of consistent effort and how aligning your vision with your actions opens opportunities others might miss.

Neil has spent nearly two decades building and scaling physical product brands across Amazon, Shopify, TikTok and retail.

Episode 90 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live. This one's powerful. I sat down with Charles I Alvarez, Founder of Cornerstone Growth Solutions, to unpack how he turned a $70K account into over $1.2M in just six weeks through our system. What stood out most wasn't the numbers—it was the mindset behind them. Charles shared how years of running a successful consulting firm still left him feeling like his financial future was out of his control. What he discovered inside our environment wasn't just a way to grow capital fast—it was a system that rewards discipline, emotional control, and personal growth. He found something he loves doing every day, something that depends only on him. As he put it, "Find something you love and put your whole heart into it. If that doesn't describe where you are now, I challenge you to give this some serious consideration."

🎙️ Lightspeed Investing Podcast | Episode 89 with Robert Heath, Sr. In this episode, I sit down with Robert Heath Sr., a former teacher, attorney, and Marine Corps officer who now helps high-achieving professionals realign their lives with purpose as an Alignment Architect. Robert shares his powerful journey from playing it safe to embracing alignment—learning that living cautiously often leads to regret, while living with purpose leads to fulfillment. We talk about how fear, perfectionism, and the pursuit of "safety" can keep us from our true potential, and how to shift from sacrifice to investment—not just in our careers, but in ourselves. This conversation hit home for anyone who's ever looked "successful" on paper yet still felt misaligned internally. Robert's story is a reminder that fulfillment isn't found in doing more—it's found in doing what actually matters. 📺 Watch the full episode on LinkedIn Also on 🎬 YouTube Wanna share your story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast?

When burnout forces you to rethink everything, the path forward can feel uncertain. I walked away from a medical career I had spent nearly a decade building. It wasn't an easy choice, but it was the one that led me to purpose, freedom, and the life I was truly meant to live. I had the opportunity to sit down with Jill Hart on The You World Order Showcase Podcast to talk about that journey, from pursuing surgery to leading a global investment firm, and how finding alignment between purpose and performance can completely redefine success. We talked about building wealth with integrity, learning to think differently about money, and how strategic persistence can turn any setback into momentum for something greater.

🎙️ Lightspeed Investing Podcast | Episode 88 This week I sat down with Jay Conner, a seasoned real estate investor who has built his career around a powerful strategy most people have never considered: private money. Jay shared how a financial crisis with his local banker forced him to rethink how he funded deals, and that turning point unlocked a path that has allowed him to raise millions in private capital without begging banks or chasing loans. His journey is proof that the right relationships and the right questions can completely change your trajectory. In our conversation, he breaks down how ordinary people can step into the role of private lender, why this model is safer and more profitable than most realize, and how it's possible to dominate even in small markets. Jay was also kind enough to give away a free copy of his bestselling book Where to Get the Money Now. It normally sells for $20 on Amazon, but you can get it directly from him at JayConner.com/book.

Episode 87 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and this one's a deep dive into building wealth with intention. I sat down with Scott Royal Smith, founder of Royal Legal Solutions, and we explored how he went from a kid pushing lawnmowers to creating a family office that helps high achievers protect and grow their wealth. We discuss why most people struggle with asset protection, taxes, and investing, and how having the right systems, guidance, and mindset can completely change the game.

Grateful to have been featured on the Lead Stronger Longer Podcast with Stephana Johnson. We spoke about the realities of burnout, why so many high-performing professionals face it, and how it can become a turning point rather than a dead end. My own journey from aspiring surgeon to CEO taught me that setbacks are often the doorway to alignment, resilience, and purpose. One part of our conversation that stood out was revisiting the Championship Mindset and the timeless wisdom of Og Mandino: "Let your books be your mentors." Those words shaped how I rebuilt my life and business. Stephana is doing powerful work helping leaders create impact without sacrificing vitality.

Episode 80 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live! This week I sat down with Leslie Hocker, a former Division I college swimmer turned entrepreneur, who carved out a career in a male-dominated industry before building a business in the wellness and longevity space. Leslie's journey is filled with lessons that every entrepreneur and leader can relate to. We talk about why competing against yourself is the ultimate mindset advantage, how pivots fueled by self-belief can change your entire trajectory, the value of mentorship and learning how to fail forward, and why comparison is the thief of joy along with how to measure progress on your own terms. Her story takes us from the pool to petroleum land management, from corporate executive to launching one of Houston's first Pilates studios, and ultimately to a thriving entrepreneurial career helping people look, feel, and perform their best.

🎙 Episode 75 is live — Oil & Gas Investing with Paul H. Graham (Part 2) In this episode, we go beyond the surface. Paul—founder of Sandstone Group—returns to unpack the real structure behind oil & gas investing and why most professionals never hear the full story. This isn't a pitch. It's a masterclass in how capital flows, what accredited investors should be asking, and how to think like a principal—not just a participant. 💡 We get into: ✔️ Why oil & gas isn't going away—and how firms are using reserves as collateral to structure real deals ✔️ How select strategies can legally offset up to 100% of active income ✔️ The five types of oil & gas investing—and why Sandstone avoids some entirely ✔️ How Sandstone vets operators like a private equity advisory group—before capital is ever raised ✔️ What most CPAs and high-income earners misunderstand about this space (and what it costs them) ✔️ Why Paul's team often invests their own capital into deals before bringing them to others This episode is also a reminder: you don't need to be born into this space. You need the right people, real due diligence, and the courage to lean into your strengths—not someone else's playbook. If you're earning over $200K, advising clients, or looking to diversify beyond typical asset classes—this is a conversation you won't hear from mainstream finance. 🎬 Watch Episode 75 on 👉 LinkedIn 🎧 Also on Youtube If you want to connect with Paul directly, the best way is through LinkedIn—just send him a message and mention you heard him on the Lightspeed Investing Podcast.

🎙 EPISODE 74 IS LIVE Paul H. Graham | From Shark Tank to the Investor's Guide to Joy (Part 1) This one goes deeper than deal flow. I sat down with Paul—entrepreneur, investor, capital raiser, and co-author with Shark Tank's Kevin Harrington—to unpack the real conversations happening behind closed doors in the world of eight- and nine-figure founders. But we didn't just talk money. We talked meaning. 🔎 What happens when high achievers hit their financial goals—but still feel empty? 📈 Why most professionals build for ego before realizing they should've built from alignment 🧠 The mindset difference between 6-, 7-, and 9-figure operators 📣 Why the "talk to 100 people" principle might change how you build your next offer, hire, or even make a life decision 📕 And what led Paul to create The Investor's Guide to Joy—a physical guidebook to living and leading with more intention (not just metrics) This episode isn't hype.

🎙 Lightspeed Investing Podcast – Episode 67 (Part 2) | Featuring Clint Harris There's a stark difference between buying what looks good on paper—and building lasting value where others see decay. In Part 2 of my conversation with Clint Harris, General Partner at Nomad Capital, we go beyond the surface and into the strategy that's turning abandoned big-box stores, textile mills, and roach-infested warehouses into high-performing self-storage assets. This isn't theory—it's applied investing at scale. Clint outlines the three foundational principles his team uses to de-risk, scale, and consistently outperform in self-storage: 🔹 Why feasibility studies are non-negotiable 🔹 How vertical integration separates survivors from speculators 🔹 The critical importance of planning your exit before you enter We also dig into: — The psychology behind early vs. late-stage capital — Structuring deals to double investor returns—tax-free — Why cap rate projections alone won't protect your downside — And how disciplined execution turned a $1.5M acquisition into a $17M facility He closes with a hard truth most investors need to hear: "Most people are out of wood before they've built a single bridge off the island." 🎧 Watch Episode 67 – Part 2 with Clint Harris on 👉 LinkedIn 📺 Also on YouTube 🤝 Ready to Share Your Story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast? 📅 Schedule your call with our host, Philip: 📞 https://calendly.com/lightspeedinvesting #lightspeedinvesting  #selfstorage  #realestateinvesting  #adaptivereuse  #passiveincome  #verticalintegration  #scale  #investormindset  #podcastdrop  #investwithpurpose  #financialindependence        

🚨🎙️ Episode 66 is LIVE: From Cardiac Sales to $150M in Self-Storage (Part 1) with Clint Harris Clint Harris didn't wait for the perfect off-ramp. He built it. After 16 years in cardiac medical sales—implanting pacemakers and consulting alongside surgeons—he knew the travel, long nights, and lack of control weren't sustainable. He pivoted—intentionally. First house-hacking a duplex. Then scaling to 14 Airbnbs. Eventually, converting abandoned big-box retail into climate-controlled self-storage units—now managing $150M in assets through Nomad Capital. In Part 1 of our conversation, we unpack how Clint's vertically integrated model transforms distressed retail into high-performing real estate that appraises at 3–4x the total cost basis. 🔹 Why banks reward occupancy over rates—and how to use that to your advantage 🔹 The self-storage math: a $1K rent increase → $240K property value bump 🔹 Why vertical integration is essential to survive today's interest rate climate 🔹 The truth about "replacing your income" vs. buying back your freedom 🔹 What makes self-storage one of the most inflation-resilient CRE assets Clint put it simply: "Risk is a muscle. If you want outsized returns, you need to build it—not avoid it." If you're in healthcare, burned out, or simply looking for a smarter way to deploy capital—this is a tactical episode worth your time.  📺 Watch Episode 66 on 👉 LinkedIn 🎧 Also on YouTube 🌐 Visit nomadcapital.us to learn more 💡 🤝 Ready to Share Your Story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast? 📅 Schedule your call with our host, Philip: 📞 https://calendly.com/lightspeedinvesting #lightspeedinvesting  #selfstorage  #realestateinvesting  #passiveincome  #alternativeassets  #burnout  #trading  #nomadcapitalist  #risk #verticalintegration  #physicianfinance  #buildwealth #purpose 

🚨🎙️ New Episode Now Live: Lightspeed Investing Podcast Ep 65 - Shanan Terale (Part 1) Most professionals stay in the lanes they were trained for. Shanan Terale didn't. She's a Columbia grad, a JD/MBA, and a corporate finance attorney in NYC who's worked with billion-dollar family offices and Wall Street institutions. But recently—she pivoted. She stepped off the traditional track and into building something of her own. In Episode 65, Part 1 of our conversation, Shanan opens up about what pushed her to explore entrepreneurship, why the rules of corporate law weren't enough, and how growing up as a first-gen student from Ohio gave her a unique lens on finance, structure, and risk. 🧠 We dive into:  🔹 What most people misunderstand about family offices  🔹 The unseen weight of being "the first" in your family  🔹 Why formal education is only half the battle  🔹 What aerial arts taught her about entrepreneurship (yes, really) This episode is for anyone who's ever felt the pull to do more—even when the resume says you've already made it. 📺 Watch on 👉 LinkedIn 🎧 Also on YouTube 🤝 Ready to Share Your Story on Lightspeed Investing Podcast? 📅 Schedule your call with our host, Philip: 📞 https://calendly.com/lightspeedinvesting #lightspeedinvesting  #finance  #futures  #womeninfinance  #entrepreneurship  #wealthstrategy  #leadership #founder
