Why Failure Is Part of the Process

Why Failure Is Part of the Process

In today’s episode, I sit down with Greg Lutzka, two-time X Games gold medalist, entrepreneur, television host, and executive producer, to talk about the lessons that skateboarding teaches far beyond competition. Greg shares how falling hundreds of times while learning tricks prepared him for success in business, investing, and life. We discuss his hit Fuel TV series Next Gen Skateboarding, his mission to create opportunities for young athletes, and the mindset required to keep improving no matter your level of success. Greg also explains why learning to represent yourself, build relationships, and create opportunities can be just as valuable as mastering your craft.

The Reality of Entrepreneurial Freedom

In today’s episode, I sit down for a candid conversation about the reality of entrepreneurial freedom and why it’s far different from what most people imagine. I share lessons from losing more than $100 million, rebuilding my life, and redefining success beyond money, titles, and comparisons to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. We discuss the difference between owning a business and owning a job, the importance of understanding your timing and risk tolerance, and why true freedom comes from aligning your life with your values. I also explain my daily non-negotiables, the power of sleep, faith, family, and consistent habits that create lasting progress over time.

Building Wealth Without Losing Yourself

In today’s episode, I sit down with Tilman Fertitta, chairman, CEO, and sole owner of Fertitta Entertainment, which includes Landry’s, the Golden Nugget, and the Houston Rockets. Tilman shares how he turned a $6,000 loan into a multi-billion-dollar empire by protecting his credit, respecting money, and never living outside his box. He talks about taking Landry’s public, buying it back, building a culture that keeps leaders around for decades, and why owning an NBA team in his hometown means more than almost anything he’s accomplished. We also talk about gratitude, philanthropy, family, and the decision-making skills that drive lasting success.

The Pursuit of More Than Enough

In today’s episode, I sit down with William Naylor to talk about the pursuit of happiness, the dangers of external validation, and the lessons I learned after losing everything. I share how building wealth, status, and access to the highest levels of sports and entertainment left me feeling disconnected from who I truly was, and how a complete shift in perspective changed my life. We discuss abundance versus scarcity, the arrival fallacy, and why young people struggle with comparison in the age of social media. I also break down the importance of non-negotiable habits, detachment from outcomes, and aligning your actions with your purpose.

The Difference Between Discipline and Devotion

In today’s episode, I sit down with Alvaro Nuñez to discuss what separates people who thrive under pressure from those who break under it. We explore the difference between discipline and devotion, why non negotiable behaviors create consistency in uncertain circumstances, and how preparation shapes performance. I share my perspective on burnout, explaining why interference, not effort, drains our energy, along with practical ways to reconnect with intuition, faith, and purpose. We also talk about decision making when evidence is incomplete, the power of asking for help, and the lessons that setbacks, mistakes, and challenges can teach when viewed through a different lens.
