How EJ Built a $20M+ Childcare Empire Using SBA Loans (Full Breakdown)

In this powerful episode of Success Formula, host Shawn sits down with EJ, a franchise childcare entrepreneur who has built a multi-million dollar empire by doing one thing differently than his competitors: staying obsessively hands-on. Starting with zero experience in 2018, EJ purchased his first school for $6.45M using SBA financing and a strategic real estate play that most business owners completely miss. Today, he operates multiple locations generating hundreds of thousands in annual revenue while simultaneously benefiting from property appreciation. But here's what separates EJ from average operators: he's not chasing passive income. Instead, he's invested heavily in top-tier talent, created systems that scale, and maintained the kind of customer service and transparency that turns struggling schools into thriving institutions. In this conversation, we break down the financial mechanics of SBA loans, the dual-profit model of owning both the business and the real estate, why paying premium salaries for exceptional staff actually maximizes profit, and how state regulations impact your bottom line. We explore EJ's operational playbook for scaling from one location to multiple schools, including how to fill new facilities with families, what to look for when acquiring existing schools, and why the best operators are never truly passive. You'll discover the teacher-to-student ratios that matter, insurance considerations that have tripled in recent years, pricing strategies that work in competitive markets, and the real estate appreciation play happening underneath your business operations. Beyond childcare, EJ also opens up about his latest ventures: a luxury short-term rental property on four and a half acres in Galveston that sleeps 48 people comfortably, and an upcoming hotel acquisition outside of Round Top, Texas. Whether you're interested in the childcare industry, franchise models, commercial real estate investing, or just understanding how elite operators think, this episode delivers actionable intelligence you can apply immediately.

Why Your Doctor Is Wrong About Testosterone, Peptides & Longevity | Dr. Ashley Madsen

What if the reason you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and stuck has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with what is happening inside your cells? In this episode of the Success Formula Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ashley Madsen, a leading expert in regenerative and functional medicine, for an unfiltered deep dive into the world of peptides, hormone optimization, NAD therapy, red light therapy, and the future of longevity medicine.  We break down what peptides actually are and why they are not new despite the media hype. We talk about BPC-157, SS31, GHK-Cu, growth hormone secretagogues, and which ones are coming back on the market after FDA reclassification. Dr. Madsen explains why most people should not start with peptides before fixing foundational issues like micronutrient deficiencies, thyroid function, and testosterone levels.  We also get personal about how a testosterone level of 90 nearly derailed everything and what the path back looked like. Whether you are a busy entrepreneur, someone struggling with brain fog, or just trying to feel like yourself again, this conversation is packed with actionable insight you will not hear in a typical doctor visit.  Dr. Madsen also shares her work with Lumara Collective building regenerative homes designed around longevity principles.  Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/ashleymadsenofficial/ Website- https://ashleymadsen.com/ Tune in every Tuesday at 10 AM for another inspiring success story, along with the proven formula to help you achieve your own goals.

Navy SEAL Veteran Taylor Cavanaugh: Why 99% Quit When It Gets Hard

What does a Navy SEAL, French Foreign Legionnaire, recovering addict, and high performance coach all have in common? In this episode, they are all the same man Taylor Cavanaugh, and his story will permanently rewire how you think about discipline, failure, and the life you are settling for right now. This is not a highlight reel. This is the raw, unfiltered truth about what it takes to rebuild your life from absolute zero. Taylor went from being kicked out of multiple military branches to becoming one of 13 men who completed SEAL training out of over 400. He went from a fentanyl addiction and homelessness in Hawaii, sitting in a car with a shotgun, to building a thriving coaching business from a French Foreign Legion barracks room. He has earned the right to tell you what discipline really means. In this episode, Shawn and Taylor tear apart the comfortable lies most people tell themselves and replace them with a brutally honest, actionable blueprint for transformation. You will learn why being disciplined-ish is more dangerous than not trying at all, why your rock bottom is actually your greatest asset, and why the people giving you advice have probably never done what you are trying to do. They also go deep on the one morning habit that has become a non-negotiable for both men, how to replace bad habits without leaving a dangerous void, and why radical ownership means owning every mistake as your own fault and is the most empowering decision you will ever make. If you are sitting in a hard place right now and wondering whether things can actually change, this episode is your answer.

Why Most Parents Are Accidentally Raising Weak Kids (And How to Stop It) | King Randall

What if everything you thought about raising confident kids was completely wrong? In this episode of the Success Formula Podcast, we sit down with King Randall, the 26-year-old founder of the X for Boys program, a 100% free, faith-based nonprofit that is doing what the school system, government programs, and even some parents have failed to do: turning boys into men. King started this program at just 19 years old, right out of his dining room, with 20 kids, zero government funding, and one powerful mission to make sure no young man ends up lost, imprisoned, or purposeless because nobody taught him the basics. In this powerful conversation, we break down why modern parenting is producing an entire generation of emotionally fragile, skill-less young men. King shares how he uses real-world scenarios, structured routines, controlled hardship, and the lost art of basic etiquette to build unshakeable character in boys as young as six. We also get into why single mothers need to stop doing it alone, how social media is not the villain most parents think it is, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and why giving your child everything they want is one of the most dangerous things you can do. If you are a parent, mentor, coach, or anyone who cares about the next generation of men, this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and give you a practical blueprint you can start using this week. King's three-step formula: Routine. Hardship. Consistency. Write it down.
