Real estate competition can be brutal, and sometimes the fiercest rival ends up becoming your greatest ally.Mario Ayala’s story runs through call centers, aggressive training at Saratoga Homes, high-stakes coups for builder accounts, legal battles, and even a billboard war outside my office window. What began as fights and lawsuits eventually transformed into respect, friendship, and now collaboration as Mario launches his own home-building company.In this episode, we unpack the truth behind rivalries in real estate, why most brokerages collapse under pressure, and what it takes to reinvent yourself when the market is shifting fast. We get into the lessons and the surprising reason enemies can sometimes make the best business partners.This one is for anyone who feels stuck in the brokerage grind, questions the future of real estate, and wonders how to turn setbacks into a launchpad for something bigger."I'm always the type that if I have something to learn from someone, no matter who it is, I'll listen." ~ Mario AyalaConnect with Mario Ayala:Websites: https://mario-ayala.com/ and https://mrghomebuilders.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrg_homes/ Connect with Preston Brown:- Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach
Some careers are built on luck.

We get into why trust is earned slowly, how to handle “train wreck” problems without losing confidence, and what it takes to run multiple businesses without burning out or losing your values.This one’s for anyone who feels undervalued at work, knows they’re capable of more, and wants the playbook for stepping into real leadership."I've learned that as a CEO, and getting people to buy into what you're trying to do, you need to listen." ~ Viviana RonquilloConnect with Preston Brown:- Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

It’s the one decision that could either protect or wipe out your entire business. Brad Weimert learned that the hard way and then turned it into an empire.Brad is the founder of Easy Pay Direct, the company entrepreneurs call when Stripe locks up their money and critical cash flow disappears.

He crashed. Rebuilt. Crashed again. He felt the pressure of performance, the intensity of leadership, and the pain of identity loss when the algorithm tanked his company’s growth mid-acquisition. And yet… he came out of it wiser. Less obsessed with money, more focused on joy, presence, and impact.In this episode, we dig into the real stuff, like what it’s actually like to lose millions after expecting a $100M exit, what changes when you hit financial freedom early, why building a business with your wife changes everything, and how to stop squeezing the life out of life.If you’ve ever built something and felt empty… or wondered what comes after the exit… or wanted to build wealth without losing yourself… this episode is for you.“I didn’t really make any money until I started giving it away.” ~ Brandon PoulinConnect with Brandon Poulin:📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realbrandonpoulin 👤 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/realbrandonpoulin 🎙 Podcast: Big Business Mistakes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/big-business-mistakes/id1678354329 Connect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

No investors. No fancy office. Just grit, systems, and a shared refusal to live life on someone else’s terms.In this episode, we get real about what it takes to scale a business while building a marriage that actually works. We go deep into business efficiency, partner dynamics, industry disruption, and why listening—not selling—is the key to making millions.They didn’t just build a company. They redefined what a lean business looks like. And somehow, through all of it, they came out stronger—both in love and in the bank.If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to scale with your spouse, you need to hear this.“ When you do what you love to do and serve the right clientele, you don't have to worry about money.

They start in backyards, in broken places, and with people who refuse to accept the hand they were dealt.Carlos Reyes gets that.He didn’t just talk about ownership—he earned it. From watching his mom hustle across the border and flipping bread and bagging groceries as a child, Carlos turned a story of absence, survival, and sacrifice into a mission of empowerment for an entire generation of entrepreneurs.In this episode, we dig into identity, grit, and what it really means to build wealth with intention. Carlos opens up about what it was like crossing the border through a fence, being separated from his mother, building real estate empires, and why Mexican Americans must reclaim ownership, not just of business, but of self-worth, legacy, and the future of American industry.This one’s got edge, purpose, and power.

They think making money is the goal, but no one ever shows them how to keep it.That’s where today’s guest comes in.Justin Maxwell isn’t your typical tax guy. He doesn’t just look at numbers—he looks at your entire financial structure and re-engineers it so you don’t just survive the IRS… you thrive.This episode is a must-listen if you're a six or seven-figure entrepreneur still operating like a W-2 employee and wondering why your wealth isn’t compounding the way it should. Justin breaks down why most entrepreneurs are set up to lose and how to flip the script by building a real wealth team, turning your income into assets, and protecting yourself from future financial landmines.We talk about taxes, cashflow vs. asset businesses, financial trauma, and how orthodox beliefs about money may be silently draining your future.“Entrepreneurs hate being seen as W-2 people.

Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter!👉 https://yourfirstmillionmadeeasy.com/businessbreakthrough Most of us are hustling so hard, we forget to ask one crucial question:What kind of energy are we actually building our business with?In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve rarely shared publicly. Not tactics. Not tools. Not formulas. Energy.The day my business truly took off wasn’t the day I cracked a new strategy. It was the day I changed the energy I was bringing into the room. Because I built my first businesses on fear—fear of being broke, fear of being cheated, fear of not being enough. And guess what? That fear showed up in my business, in my team, in the lawsuits, in the chaos.But something happens when you start leading with love, joy, and purpose instead of pain. When you stop proving and start being. When you stop clinging to hierarchy and start connecting with your heart.I’m talking about a complete identity-level shift, from a high-achieving entrepreneur to a heart-centered creator.This episode is for the ones ready to stop managing by crisis and start creating from a deeper, truer place.“Whatever energy got you here, thank it. Honor it. But move through it.” ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

The markets are moving, the Fed is fumbling, and we’re about to enter one of the most strategic windows for building wealth we’ve had in years.Not only am I stacking real estate like crazy right now, but I’m also watching how the bond flight, housing pressure, and global power shifts are creating ripple effects you can capitalize on if you stop waiting for perfect conditions.Here’s the truth: you're not gonna win this next round of wealth building by sitting on the sidelines hoping Powell figures it out. And you're definitely not gonna win by waiting for the next headline to tell you what to do.So I’m breaking it down—why housing’s getting hammered (but why that’s good news), how Trump vs. Powell might just become your favorite economic catalyst, what’s really going on with China, Ukraine, India, and the markets, and the plays I’m personally making right now with my own money."What's the best time to buy? Between now and the next six to nine months, and after that, you're probably gonna lose your opportunity to get the best bottom dollar deal." ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

Labor data you’ve probably never heard explained like this, the debt traps most entrepreneurs are walking straight into, and why I think we’re not facing a full-on recession, but something even trickier. A stall.Because if you’re running your business on yesterday’s game plan, or you’re hoping the Fed or the next President is gonna magically turn everything around, you’re setting yourself up to lose.This is what you need to know about interest rates, credit bubbles, broken labor data, commercial real estate risk, stock market overconfidence, and how to position your money where it actually has a shot at growing in an inflation-driven economy.I’m not just talking theory here. These are the plays I’m personally making to hedge for chaos and lean into opportunity at the same time."Getting prepared for a potential economic downturn in 2025 is something every entrepreneur should be doing. You wanna ensure you're not caught in the chaos if something comes up." ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

That’s why I pulled my own chief technology officer, Zach Abrams, out from behind the screens and onto the mic. Zach took my companies from software chaos (think six-figure bloatware bills and zero accountability) to a tight, data-driven machine that grew our home-building division 67% in the worst housing market in 35 years.We dive into the nitty gritty of when to hire a tech team, how to vet the right people, and why forcing adoption is the only way to make those expensive investments actually pay off.Zach also shares his take on the future of AI, what it means for the job market, and how businesses can stay ahead of the curve without blowing their budgets on unnecessary bells and whistles.“These tools are going to augment every industry.

You can be successful and still feel not enough. You can save lives every day—and still wonder if you’re failing as a husband, father, or friend.In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Dr. Richard Farnam, a top-tier gynecological robotic surgeon, YouTube educator, and self-proclaimed lifelong learner.But this episode isn’t about fancy titles or flashy accolades.It’s about the real stuff. Like growing up poor in rural Wisconsin, wrestling with a scarcity mindset that doesn’t quit, and realizing that being the best surgeon in the world doesn’t excuse you for being a shitty dad or an absent husband.We talk about burnout, what most doctors get wrong about money, why success without family is empty, and how mastery, gratitude, and curiosity can save more than just your bank account.Dr. Rich also breaks down how robotic surgery revolutionized women’s healthcare, the truth about doctors and wealth, and why niching down is the most underrated key to financial freedom, both inside and outside of medicine.“ Being the top best surgeon does not excuse you from being the top best husband and the top best father.” - Dr. Richard Farnam.Connect with Dr. Richard Farnam (a.k.a.
