#33 - JT Teeters (2)

JT Teeters returns to It Sucks, I Love It for his second appearance to break down the massive leap he made in his second year at Aptive. After producing $220K in personal revenue as a rookie, JT stepped into leadership and built a downline that generated over $1.8 million in revenue. In this episode, we dive into the lessons he learned during his first year as a team leader, what it took to lead the highest rookie RPR team at Aptive, and the systems he put in place to help his group perform at an elite level. JT also shares how faith has played a central role in shaping his team’s culture, guiding the way he leads, develops people, and builds something bigger than just sales numbers. If you’re interested in leadership, culture building, and scaling performance in high-pressure environments, this episode offers a real look at what it takes to grow fast and lead well.

#32 - Marcus Martin & Caleb Linnehan

We sit down with Caleb Linnehan and Marcus Martin, who have both worked at Aptive for over 3 years. This episode takes a different turn from the usual sales conversations, focusing instead on personal discipline and health. Caleb breaks down his experience completing his first 75 Hard, while Marcus shares why he’s been a long-time advocate of an animal-based diet (3+ years and counting). Together, we discuss how diet and exercise directly impact performance, the role of physical discipline in achieving professional goals, and the foundations of setting standards that actually stick. The conversation centers on practical ways to improve energy, focus, and resilience — not just to perform better at work, but to become a more capable, well-rounded person overall.

#31 - Charlie Fessler-Krebs

This week we sit down with Charlie Fessler-Krebs, who’s been knocking doors since 2020 and leading teams for the past five years. Charlie has grown into a leader who’s experienced the real highs and lows of leadership in the door-to-door world. After a challenging 2025, he’s focused on getting back to the fundamentals that drive long-term success in this industry.

#30 - Jackson Roper

In this episode we sit down with Jackson Roper, Alpha’s top rookie, who produced over $380,000 in serviced revenue and is positioning himself for a big 2026. Jackson’s path hasn’t been easy - from playing college football while undersized, to breaking his back and being told he might never run again. Instead of letting that setback define him, Jackson rebuilt his health and returned to full athletic performance and began a prosperous career in sales. Now married, with a baby on the way, he talks about how increased responsibility has changed how he thinks about work, discipline, and long-term goals.

#29 - Jake Rivera

In this episode, we sit down with Jake Rivera, a door-to-door sales leader who’s been in the industry since 2021 and has steadily built his career through discipline, patience, and long-term vision. Before door-to-door, Jake’s grind started early, selling shoes and working various jobs throughout school before finding his stride and establishing himself at Aptive. In 2024 and 2025, Jake hit Divisional, generating over $3 million in downline revenue, and now has his sights set on even bigger goals heading into Summer 2026.
