#84 Why Trading Your Time for Money Is Keeping You Broke | Adriana Martin

I sat down with Adriana Martin, who landed in the U.S. at 21 with nothing but five jobs and a $6-an-hour gig babysitting two windup toys at a mall door. What blew me away was how she taught herself to sell anything for free, studying QVC hosts at three in the morning, and turned that one skill into a career on TV. We get into the wedding-tip trick that changed her whole approach to money, the moment she realized she was an entrepreneur, and why her dad's prediction that she'd "be back in three months" is exactly what kept her going. If you've ever felt stuck trading hours for a paycheck, this one's for you.

#83 Here's Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging Without Even Realizing It| Michael Mahoney

You might think self-sabotage is a discipline problem. That if you just wanted it badly enough, you'd stop repeating the pattern. But the truth is the opposite: your brain is sabotaging you on purpose, because it's doing exactly the job it evolved to do. In this conversation, coach Michael Mahoney breaks down what he calls "the game of the mind", the constant hum of worry, fear, anxiety, and doubt that most people mistake for reality.

#82 He Told Me One Sentence That Finally Made Me Get Sober | Jonathan Parsons

I used to think the people who turn their lives around are the ones with the most willpower, but Johnny Parsons convinced me it's the opposite. When I sat down with the voice behind Discipline & Legacy, I wanted to unpack one of the most stubborn lies we tell ourselves: that we are whatever we've always been. Johnny spent his twenties and early thirties cycling through addiction, jail, lost custody of his son, and a family that had every reason to give up on him, but what got me was that his turning point wasn't a program or a slogan. It was a single idea: who you were yesterday has no veto over who you decide to be tomorrow.

#81 He Built Billion Dollar Companies By Selling Everything Except The Team | David Royce

My guest today sold the same company four times and built over a billion dollars in exits doing it, in pest control, of all industries. David Royce walks me through how he kept his "golden goose" (the sales force and executive team) every time he sold, rolled the cash into the next venture, and rebuilt without ever giving up equity. We get into how that took him from zero to 500 million in eight years, why fast growth nearly bankrupted him first, and the 5 am text that pulled his father out of hospice.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 [https://bit.ly/46vct60] Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS [https://bit.ly/46J08MS] Connect with David Royce Website: https://bit.ly/3R7BpNm [https://aptivepestcontrol.com/]  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4vDqY3f [https://www.instagram.com/thedavidroyce/]  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4eDttfK [https://www.facebook.com/david.royce.9615]  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4gdSvU2 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-royce-22539425/]  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 02:10 - Growing up and early life 02:27 - Dad ran public companies then lost everything 03:56 - Stumbling into pest control by accident 04:51 - Zero sales for five days then top rookie 05:03 - How he learned to sell 05:41 - Making $225K in one summer 06:49 - The light bulb moment 08:06 - Almost bankrupting the company 09:57 - Managing cash while growing fast 10:22 - Sales psychology that changed everything 13:01 - Lessons from three exits 13:14 - Sell the book keep the team 15:16 - Other industries where this works 16:25 - Building the same team across companies 17:50 - White collar culture in a blue collar industry 18:11 - The book that changed everything 20:39 - Green and red flags when hiring 21:55 - Hire slow fire fast 22:46 - Why he recruited missionaries 23:50 - Sold the company and what's next 25:33 - Having two daughters 26:37 - Teaching kids resilience 27:10 - Losing their home in the LA fires 29:06 - Staying in the middle politically 31:24 - Social media and brainwashing 32:05 - How he thinks about legacy 33:20 - Is college still worth it? 37:05 - Private school vs homeschool 40:06 - How he thinks about AI 43:54 - When AI becomes dangerous 45:12 - AI and the future of medicine 46:26 - AI as a better therapist 50:10 - Flying his dad out to save his life 53:23 - 30 Acts of Kindness app 55:17 - Chick-fil-A vs McDonald's 56:22 - Servant leadership and developing people 59:02 - Servant leaders vs visionary jerks 1:01:11 - Where to find David Royce Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv [https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv] Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK [https://bit.ly/4jclYvK] Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 [https://www.instagram.com/realdaveguttman/] TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm [https://www.tiktok.com/@realdaveguttman] Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx [https://www.facebook.com/thedavidguttman] X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR [https://x.com/RealDaveGuttman] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drguttman/https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 [https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2] SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman [https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman] Podcast platforms: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV [https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV] Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v [https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v]
