Description
Due To My Role is where PE Guy sits down with substantial founders, comedians, and the most interesting people on the internet to talk money, power, taste, and how it really all works behind the scenes. We get into how they made it, how they spend it, who they know, and where they actually hang when the cameras are off.
Expect conversations about real exits, private equity, absurd lifestyles, exclusive clubs, quiet flexes, catastrophic mistakes, and the decisions that separate operators from spectators. If you want polite success stories, this isn’t that. If you want the unfiltered version of money, influence, and identity — welcome to the table.

Johnny Hilbrant (aka PE Guy) sits down with Heather McMahan for a conversation that starts funny, gets real fast, and ends somewhere most business or comedy interviews never go. What begins as a conversation about comedy quickly becomes a look at how Heather actually runs her career — treating stand-up, touring, podcasting, and specials as a real operating system, not just creative output. She talks candidly about building multiple income streams in an oversaturated creator economy, why she c...

From there, the discussion turns to what’s happening behind the scenes in journalism today — the decline of corporate me...
In Episode 003 of Due To My Role, Johnny Hilbrant (aka PE Guy) sits down with former professional tennis players John Isner and Sam Querrey to talk about what actually happens after elite sports — when the career ends, the prime earning window closes, and identity has to be rebuilt from scratch. They break down John’s historic 11-hour Wimbledon match that changed the rules of tennis forever, Sam’s blunt take on being priced out of the US Open as a spectator, and how corporate money and influ...
In Episode 2 of Due To My Role, Johnny Hilbrant (aka PE Guy) sits down with Brady Perrigo, CEO and designer of Del Toro Shoes, to break down how he took a struggling luxury footwear brand and rebuilt it into an 8-figure business worn by NBA players, Wall Street operators, and celebrities — without paying for placements. Brady walks through how a decade in banking and private equity prepared him for the turnaround, why Del Toro’s move into loafers was a total accident that paid off, and...
