I thought I was interviewing Brett Swarts about capital gains tax strategy, instead, I got a masterclass on how financial planning reveals our deepest values about life, legacy, and what truly matters. His story of forgiving his father at 14, working nights at Cheesecake Factory while building an empire, and raising five kids with intentional daily questions showed me that the best wealth strategies aren’t just about deferring taxes, they’re about designing a life aligned with your soul. Sometimes, the most profound business conversations happen when we stop talking about business entirely. What’s one conversation that unexpectedly shifted your entire perspective on success?

Wisdom has nothing to do with age. This has been proven by Max Inhouse, a 19-year-old entrepreneur who built a successful business serving 320+ clients. He chose to build something over college, proving that real-world experience often trumps traditional education when you’re genuinely curious about solving problems.

What if the secret to finding real success isn't climbing higher, but serving deeper? My conversation with Mark Bustos,  the celebrity hairdresser who cuts hair for both A-listers and homeless individuals, completely shifted my perspective on what it means to build a meaningful career. You'll learn why the most successful people often find their greatest fulfillment not in what they achieve, but in how they choose to serve others.

When I asked this ex-Marine who went from homelessness to training Hollywood stars where his strength comes from, his answer cut straight to my core: ”I have a responsibility to do something with my life because, I lost friends who don’t have the opportunity now to do things that I’m able to do.” His resilience isn’t rooted in personal ambition or military training — it’s anchored in survivor’s responsibility, in honouring those who can’t pursue their dreams. True strength, I realised, isn’t about being unbreakable, it’s about breaking in service of something infinitely bigger than yourself.

Justin Cross’s True North retreats cut through the noise by demanding something radical — actual commitment through rigorous applications, physical challenges, and vulnerability without judgment.

24-year-old CEO of RescAlert, Jakob Carmichael, just reminded me why age is irrelevant when you’ve found your purpose — he’s built an AI emergency response platform while many of us are still overthinking our next move. What struck me wasn’t his success, but his clarity. He saw Hurricane Harvey responders wasting resources because their systems couldn’t communicate, so he locked himself in his room and built a solution. Sometimes, the youngest voices carry the biggest wisdom, and the question isn’t whether you’re experienced enough to start, but whether you’re brave enough to begin with whatever problem you’re uniquely positioned to solve.  Connect with Jakob Carmichael: Website: https://bit.ly/4kpYhA8  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3GzW3QX  Instagram: https://bit.ly/408pT5L  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4ldPTVz  Facebook: https://bit.ly/44gTnRk  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4eAshrM  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:48 Jakob Carmichael’s Back Story 09:12 Operating a Business as a 21-y.o.

I just finished an incredible conversation with Megan Weddle — a top salesperson who turned a potential disaster into career-defining success through one simple act. Picture this: She’s sitting in a cafe with her company president when the client texts, “Sorry, we need to cancel today.” Most people would’ve just accepted it, but Megan called the client and said something that changed everything, “Please help me. I need your help today.” That moment of raw vulnerability didn’t just save a meeting, it built the foundation for a relationship that generated massive business for years.

Can you build massive wealth while staying true to biblical principles, or do you have to sell your soul to succeed in business? My guest Bridger Rogers answers this question definitively after his own journey from spiritual wandering back to faith-centered entrepreneurship. He shares his vision of becoming "the biblical Andrew Tate," bringing traditional masculine values and authentic leadership back to a generation of men trapped in what he calls "paycheck dependence syndrome." This conversation explores the intersection of faith, wealth building, and purposeful living in a way that challenges conventional wisdom about success.

What happens when a successful Afghan family loses everything overnight and must rebuild from nothing in a foreign country? In this powerful interview, I sit down with my mother-in-law Zahra Raheb to explore one of the most remarkable survival stories you'll ever hear. From Soviet invasion and refugee camps to single motherhood and military service in combat zones, Zahra's journey reveals how ordinary people develop extraordinary resilience when life strips away everything familiar. We uncover her unique philosophy on raising independent children, why she believes complaining destroys progress, and how witnessing death in war zones transformed her perspective on daily problems. This raw conversation challenges viewers to reconsider their own obstacles and discover the mental frameworks that turn victims into survivors.

“I’m not my old story. I’m not the old me.” — Powerful insights gained from my conversation with Jesse Deutscher. His story tells of the courage to completely transform your life, especially when addiction has defined you for decades. What resonates most is Jesse’s honesty about the messy middle — the therapy, the failed partnerships, the struggle to build legitimate businesses while breaking old patterns. He didn’t just get clean, he rebuilt his entire sense of self.

What makes a great leader in today’s shifting landscape? In this episode, I’ve had a fascinating conversation with serial entrepreneur-board member Chris Dalton, about purpose-driven leadership, ‘It is not a role, it’s a relationship.’ This shift in perspective is powerful and timely, as it challenges us to view leadership as an emergent property of connection, not hierarchy. He also shared the importance of empowering, not just your business partners, but also your employees, and how this can have a tremendous positive impact on your business goals.

What happens when you finally listen to your heart instead of following expectations? In this episode, Moncy Trejo, CEO and Founder of Exposure Digital, explores the courage it takes to pivot from a “secure” career path to pursuing your genuine passion. Moncy spent seven years studying physical therapy to fulfil her mother’s dream of having a child in healthcare, only to discover her true calling was in social media entrepreneurship. We also talked about the complexity of working with your spouse, the power of recognising when something isn’t right (even when you’re “good” at it), and how following your instincts can lead to unexpected success. Take a moment to reflect on your own journey right now — Are you following someone else’s script or writing your own story?   Connect with Moncy Trejo: Website: https://bit.ly/4k3LK6k  Instagram: https://bit.ly/3Ffxd8l  Facebook: https://bit.ly/3EYLw16  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:48 Moncy Trejo’s Back Story 05:05 Juggling Three Jobs 06:16 Growing Up with an Absent Father 11:45 Running Exposure Digital with Her Husband 19:20 Navigating Challenges in a Male-Dominated Industry 22:55 No Overlapping of Roles in the Business 25:40 Pieces of Advice for Her Younger Self 29:30 Mentorship and Coaching 33:48 Hopes and Dreams for Exposure Digital 35:51 Staying on Top of Industry Trends 38:19 Prioritising Health (Despite the Busy Schedules) 43:53 Overcoming Health Issues  48:05 Family Plans 49:36 Faith and Connectedness with God 51:48 Misalignment with Negative Clients 56:56 Business and Personal Purpose 1:01:27 Connect with Moncy Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 9AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman: Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X.com: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
