The Unstoppable CEO with Dr. Paul Reed

From a Condemned House to the NFL — and a Life He Actually Wants to Live What happens when the very thing that was supposed to hold you back becomes the fuel that pushes you further than anyone expected? In this episode of The Unstoppable CEO, Dr. Paul Reed sits down with Mkristo Bruce — former All-American and Pac-10 standout at Washington State, NFL veteran, and now a multi-business entrepreneur running a mortgage company, a gym, and flying planes on the side. Mkristo grew up in a condemned house with no heat and no running water — and turned that into a relentless, chip-on-the-shoulder drive that carried him from the projects to the Combine, and from the locker room to building thriving businesses. This conversation goes far beyond football. Mkristo and Paul dig into the daily disciplines behind sustained success, what it really takes to raise emotionally strong kids, and why slowing down to enjoy what you've built might be the hardest — and most important — skill of all. In this episode you'll discover: How growing up without running water shaped an unshakeable competitive drive The story of being told by a college coach he'd "never play in the Pac-10" — and the redemption moment that followed Why physical discipline is the foundation every other discipline is built on The simple daily habit (making your bed) that sets the tone for everything else What Mkristo secretly checked in job interviews that had nothing to do with the resume The "web to web, eye to eye" principle he's instilled in his kids since they were toddlers A powerful lesson in handling rejection, straight from his 21-year-old son's own job search Why losing key employees taught him the real cost of moving too fast and forgetting to "pour into people" The moment his son asked him a simple question that changed how he measures his own success Memorable Quotes "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't put in." "Either work harder or want less." "Web to web, eye to eye." "All things build all things."

In this episode of The Unstoppable CEO, Dr. Paul Reed sits down with his longtime friend Billy Sticker — entrepreneur, AI strategist, and author of The Blessed Entrepreneur. Since 2015, the companies Billy has founded, including ChiroCandy and HireZim, have helped more than 2,000 businesses generate over $450 million in revenue. But for Billy, business has always been about more than numbers. He builds companies as a way to live out his faith, steward his gifts, and help other leaders grow with clarity, purpose, and lasting Kingdom impact. Billy and Paul get into family, faith, mindset, and the future of AI in business — including a car-rally story that turns into one of the most powerful lessons on trust and communication with God you'll hear this year. In this episode you'll discover: Why Billy refuses to play the lottery — even when the jackpot is life-changing The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why one without the other is dangerous A car-rally story that reframes how God speaks to us about pace and direction How to actually build the habit of listening for God's voice in everyday decisions Why Billy believes AI won't replace great leaders, but will replace leaders who refuse to adapt How his sons are already carrying the mission forward through their own ventures, including Church Candy The two books Billy says changed his life — and why one of them "sounds new-agey but isn't" Why solving expensive problems for the right people is the real formula for great income Memorable Quotes "The vehicle you're in was created to go faster than you're comfortable driving it."

What if growing an extraordinary practice wasn't about adding more—but eliminating almost everything that doesn't matter? In this episode of The Unstoppable CEO, Dr. Paul Reed sits down with legendary chiropractor, mentor, speaker, and author Dr. Tim Young for a conversation about simplicity, mastery, leadership, and what it really takes to build a practice and life that lasts. Dr. Young practiced for 30 years and built Young Chiropractic into an extraordinary adjustment-focused practice. Over a 27-year period, the practice averaged more than $1 million in annual collections—with the chiropractic adjustment at the center of everything. His philosophy? Stop overcomplicating it. Know who you are. Know what you do. Become exceptional at your craft. Communicate your message with conviction. And then show up consistently enough for the results to compound. Paul and Tim dig into the principles behind that philosophy—and why those same principles extend far beyond the four walls of a practice.
