  1. EP 221: The Million-Dollar Opportunities Happening Behind Closed Doors

    Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our latest Deal Maker Alliance and Deal Maker Family event, where over 100 entrepreneurs came together to share what's working, what's not, and where the real money is being made. We're talking million-dollar business strategies, an emerging AI...

  2. EP 220: Everyone Has a "Million Dollar" Idea, But Very Few Actually Execute

    In this episode, I'm calling out something I see at every level of entrepreneurship: Everybody has ideas. Very few people actually execute them. You don't need the perfect website. You don't need the fancy office. You don't need another piece of software, a bigger warehouse, the perfect CRM, or...

  3. EP 219: While You're Waiting ... The Clock Is Running

    In this episode, I'm talking about something none of us can buy more of: Time. Life has a way of punching you in the face with reality. One minute you're building businesses, chasing goals, raising your family, and handling a hundred things at once. The next minute, you get a phone call or text...

  4. EP 218: PSA: Emotional Reactions Can Cost You Millions

    In this episode, I'm giving you a real-life lesson on relationship capital — sparked by an email I received literally minutes before recording this show. Here's the truth: you can spend years building your reputation, your network, and relationships with the right people… and destroy…

  5. EP 217: The Real Flex Isn't Money -- It's Having Options

    In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest lies entrepreneurs have been sold: That success is measured by how hard you hustle.

  6. EP 216: Why Being the "Black Sheep" is Your Biggest Entrepreneurial Advantage

    In this episode, I'm sharing why being the black sheep in your family, your business, or your circle of friends might be the greatest advantage you'll ever have. After spending the Fourth of July with my family, I found myself reflecting on something I know so many entrepreneurs experience…

    more
  7. EP 215: If Your Vision Doesn't Scare You, It's Too Small

    In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs stay stuck for years: Their vision is too small.

  8. EP 214: The Birthday Lesson I Wish Someone Told Me 30 Years Ago...

    In this episode, I'm sharing the biggest lesson I've learned after 48 years on this planet. As I celebrate my 48th birthday, I'm reflecting on the advice I wish someone had given me 30 years ago — advice that would have saved me years of overthinking, hesitation, and waiting for the "perfect"…

  9. EP 213: How To Dominate Any Industry, and In Any Market

    In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what it takes to dominate any industry — in any market — no matter what's going on around you. And here's the truth… It's not AI. It's not marketing hacks. It's not some secret strategy. It's doing the simple things that almost nobody is willing to do...

  10. EP 212: Get $10,000,000 Cash, Tax-Free... But There's Just One Catch

    *]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))]...

  11. EP 211: The Brutal Truth About Why Your Business Is Stuck

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the brutal truth about why your business is stuck — and it's probably not what you want to hear. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not your CRM. It's the fact that you're drowning in noise instead of focusing on signal. I see so many entrepreneurs...

  12. EP 210: The Day I (Almost) Fired Everyone...

    In this episode, I'm sharing a feeling every CEO knows all too well — the moment when you want to fire everyone and just do it all yourself. I woke up frustrated, anxious, and ready to blow things up after realizing things in the business weren't getting done the way they should. Communication...

  13. EP 209: 95% Talk Big. 5% Execute. Which One Are You?

    In this episode, I'm back after seven months away from the mic — as I've been hard into a brand new industry. And I just got back from our Deal Maker Alliance event in Nashville — where we raised over $113,000 for charity in just 30 minutes. I've got one big question for you: What did you want to...

  14. EP 208: Clarity, Cash, and Conversation: What I Discovered Over Lunch with 2 Billionaires

    In this episode, I'm diving deep into why most people stay stuck—foggy about their goals, unclear on their direction, and spinning their wheels doing "work" that doesn't actually move the needle. I'll break down how to take control of your life by getting radically honest about what you don't…

  15. EP 206: The Alpha Male Lie: Why Most Business Coaches are Broke... Fake... and Full of It!

    In this powerful episode, Mark Evans DM takes a hard look at the modern "alpha male" narrative—and calls BS on it. Success isn't about yelling the loudest, flashing material wins, or living up to some social media-fueled idea of masculinity. It's about authentic leadership, personal growth, being…

  16. EP 207: You Can't Think BIG Around Small Minded People...

    In this episode, I'm breaking down why your environment is either fueling your business or flat-out killing it. I'll share the hard truth: if you're still hanging around small thinkers, undercharging, and trying to do it all alone—you're not building a business, you're babysitting a job. It's…

    more
  17. EP 205: You Don't Have To Get It Right, Just Get It Going: Just Launch The D*mn Thing!

    In this episode, I'm calling out the ones hiding behind "busy work" instead of getting real results. Too many guys spend their days planning, tweaking PowerPoints, and waiting for the perfect moment - while the winners are out there talking to people and closing deals. I share hard truths and…
