Ozempic Nation: The Truth About GLP-1s, Peptides & Rapid Weight Loss w/ Sheldon Martin | E46

Ozempic. Mounjaro. Retatrutide. GLP-1s are completely changing the conversation around obesity, addiction, metabolic health, and weight loss. Some people think these drugs are one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern medicine. Others think we’re moving way too fast. What made this conversation especially interesting for me is I’ve actually used GLP-1s with patients in bedside healthcare for almost 10 years throughout my nursing career, so it was cool being able to approach this from both a healthcare and real-world perspective. In this episode, Sheldon Martin and I break down how these drugs actually work, the diseases they’re changing, side effects, muscle loss, the underground peptide market, and we debunk some of the biggest conspiracies surrounding GLP-1s and peptides.

From ICU to Empire: How I Walked Away from Nursing to Build Millions in Real Estate w/ Anna Mendoza and Ashley Cleary | E45

I did everything I was supposed to do. Went into nursing, built a solid career, made good money, had job security. But over time I started realizing I was really good at making money and terrible at actually growing it. I was capped, burned out, and knew I was not building the life I actually wanted. This episode is from my interview on The Millionaire Blueprint with Anna Mendoza and Ashley Cleary, where I break down how I went from ICU shifts to walking away from the bedside and going all in on real estate development. We get into the mindset shift, the early moves I made while still working, and how I started raising capital and scaling into real ground up projects in San Diego. No fluff, no quit your job tomorrow talk. Just the real story of what it takes to step out of a safe path and start building something bigger. If you have been feeling stuck or know you are capable of more, this one will hit.

How One Burnt Out Doctor Replaced His Income With Car Washes w/ Jay Johal | E46

In this episode, I sit down with Jay, a physician I actually used to work with, who followed the traditional path, built a high income career, and still found himself burned out and stuck trading time for money. We both saw the same realities inside healthcare, the long hours, the pressure, and the feeling that no matter how much you make, you are still tied to your time. We break down what led him to make a pivot most people would never consider, stepping away from medicine and getting into car washes. He walks through how he took underperforming assets, turned them into subscription based businesses, and built a portfolio that now out earns his physician income. We also get into the part nobody talks about, tax strategy, ownership, and how changing how you earn completely changes your outcome. If you are in healthcare or feel stuck on the path you chose, this episode will open your eyes to what is actually possible.

From Pediatric Nurse to Future Hotelier — Lorenzo Mercado’s Journey | E44

Lorenzo Mercado is a pediatric nurse working 24 to 36 hours a week while building toward his long term goal of becoming a hotel owner. Like a lot of people in healthcare, he is not trying to escape overnight. He is playing the long game, using his W2 income to fund his real estate journey while stacking experience along the way. In this episode, we talk about what that actually looks like. From early mornings in the gym to 12 hour shifts at the hospital, to spending his off days analyzing deals, talking to brokers, and working toward his first hotel acquisition. Lorenzo opens up about losing money on flips, what he learned from those experiences, and why he is more focused than ever on building something real in real estate. We also get into the mindset behind doing both. Why he is not rushing to leave nursing, how income stability allows him to be patient, and how working in healthcare has shaped the way he thinks about hospitality. If you are juggling a career and trying to build something on the side, this episode will show you what it really takes to stay disciplined, focused, and committed to the long term vision.
