What’s Actually in Your IV? | Rian Pillitteri

Not every IV clinic provides the same level of care, and choosing one based only on location may be a mistake. In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard sits down with Dr. Rian Pillitteri, Owner and Medical Director of IV Splash Hydration & Wellness, for a detailed conversation about IV therapy, NAD, peptides, pain management, weight-loss medications, medical-spa safety, and physician-led wellness. Dr. Pillitteri is also a practicing emergency physician. He explains how IV Splash combines a spa-like experience with medical oversight, including licensed clinical staff, personalized treatments, emergency precautions, and IV bags prepared where clients can see what is being administered. Eric also shares his personal experiences with low energy, frequent illness, chronic joint pain, injuries, aging, travel-related sickness, and preparing to become a father. The conversation explores the treatments people commonly seek for energy, hydration, recovery, pain relief and wellness, but also emphasizes the importance of understanding the potential risks and speaking with qualified medical professionals. Dr. Pillitteri discusses NAD and NR therapy, vitamin drips, IV hydration, PRP, CBD infusions, trigger-point injections, infrared sauna therapy, exosomes and weight-loss medications. He also warns listeners to be cautious with experimental treatments and medications obtained without appropriate medical supervision. In this episode: What makes IV Splash a physician-led medical spa Questions to ask before choosing an IV clinic Why clients should know who is inserting the IV Where IV ingredients and medications come from NAD versus NR IV therapy for hydration and energy Why people commonly feel dehydrated Pain-management options without narcotics PRP and trigger-point injections Infrared sauna and recovery CBD administered through an IV Stem-cell exosomes and the limits of current evidence Semaglutide, tirzepatide and weight-loss medication safety The risks of experimental retatrutide Why weight-loss drugs require medical supervision Building a medical-spa business without outside investors Why local relationships and Google reviews drive growth The role of emergency physicians in protecting patient care This episode is for anyone considering IV therapy, NAD, peptides, weight-loss medication, or other wellness treatments, and for healthcare professionals interested in entrepreneurship and patient-centered care.

He Built 9 Clinics, Then Started Over | Craig Selinger

Craig Selinger never planned to become a chiropractor. After losing his father at 13 and facing uncertainty about his family’s future, Craig began viewing money as security. That mindset eventually led him toward finance and Wall Street, but something about the career felt incomplete. His own experience recovering from a serious hockey injury introduced him to chiropractic care and changed the direction of his life. In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard sits down with Craig Selinger, Founder and Chiropractor at Lake Worth Injury & Wellness, to discuss his journey from Wall Street to healthcare, building nine chiropractic offices, and why he eventually returned to hands-on patient care.  Craig also breaks down common misconceptions about chiropractic treatment, including the belief that one adjustment should permanently fix years of pain. He explains why recovery requires consistency, patient education, lifestyle changes, and an understanding of what caused the problem in the first place. Eric shares his own experiences with chronic neck pain, severe knee arthritis, a herniated disc, surgeries, injuries, and medical anxiety. The conversation explores chiropractic care, acupuncture, posture, back pain, injury recovery, and the importance of taking responsibility for your health.

Why His Employees Never Want to Leave | Mauro Comuzzi

It is how Mauro leads the people responsible for creating it. During the conversation, Mauro shares the “coffee bean” leadership principle: pressure can harden you, weaken you, or allow you to transform the environment around you. That philosophy has shaped how he treats his employees, serves his customers, and carries the responsibility of leading his family. Eric and Mauro also discuss why relationships still outperform many marketing strategies, how a branded shirt opened the door to a multimillion-dollar client, why speed creates a competitive advantage, and Mauro’s long-term vision of potentially giving his employees ownership in the company they helped build. In this episode: Growing The Paving Lady from 22 to more than 115 employees The coffee bean leadership principle Why employees choose leaders, not only paychecks Building culture before having formal systems and processes How relationships generate major business opportunities The importance of repeat customers Why speed matters in sales and business Faith, manifestation, and God’s timing Carrying on a father’s legacy Why Mauro declined private-equity opportunities His goal of eventually creating employee ownership The real responsibility of leadership This episode is for founders, executives, managers, and anyone who wants to build a company that grows without losing its soul.

The Success Trap Nobody Warns You About | Roberto Carabetta

Success can become the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard sits down with Roberto Carabetta, Founder and Managing Principal of Maravida Senior Living, for an honest conversation about money, entrepreneurship, risk, reputation, real estate, leadership, and why comfortable people often struggle to reach the next level. Roberto’s journey started behind the counter at a bank, where he watched landlords deposit rent checks and began asking questions. At 20 years old, he purchased his first condo. That decision eventually led him from banking into construction, from working beside his father to building his own company, and from a comfortable life in Canada to pursuing larger opportunities in South Florida.  Today, Roberto acquires and operates senior living communities in Central Florida but this conversation is not simply about real estate. It is about recognizing when comfort has become a ceiling. Eric and Roberto discuss why early success can sometimes delay entrepreneurship, how sales creates nearly unlimited earning potential, why reputation can be more valuable than money, and what it takes to develop the confidence to make a major move before you feel completely ready.  In this episode: *  Why comfort can be more dangerous than failure  *  Roberto’s first real estate investment at age 20  *  Leaving banking to work in construction  *  Building a business after leaving the family company  *  Moving his family from Canada to South Florida  *  Investing in and operating senior living communities  *  Living below your means while building wealth  *  Why sales has no income ceiling  *  How reputation becomes your greatest asset  *  The relationship between physical discipline and mental clarity  *  Learning to take calculated risks  *  Why your network can help you rebuild from almost anything  Whether you are building a company, investing in real estate, considering a career change, or feeling trapped by a life that is “good enough,” this episode will challenge you to consider what might be waiting beyond your comfort zone.
