  • Master Your Mind and Words: Sara Gilbert on NLP, Language, and Human Behavior
    Apr 7 2026

    In this episode of the Built By Love Podcast, host Daniel Bussius sits down with business strategist and psycholinguistics expert Sara Gilbert to explore how language shapes behavior, decisions, and ultimately success in business and life.

    Sara breaks down the true meaning of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and how it goes far beyond communication into understanding human behavior and breaking limiting patterns. She explains why strategy alone is not enough, and why the real bottleneck for most entrepreneurs is not execution—but the beliefs and internal dialogue driving their actions.

Sara also introduces the concept of psycholinguistics and how understanding the gap between what people say and what they actually mean can transform leadership, sales, and client relationships.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What NLP really is and how it helps change behavior patterns
    • Why strategy fails without addressing mindset and belief systems
    • How language reveals hidden doubts and internal resistance

    • How to communicate more effectively with clients and teams

  • Why Success Can Feel Empty: John “JR” Rennie on Faith, Entrepreneurship, and Finding Your True Calling
    Mar 24 2026

    In this powerful episode of the Built By Love Podcast, host Daniel Bussius sits down with entrepreneur and ministry leader John “JR” Rennie to discuss the deeper questions many successful business owners eventually face: Why does success sometimes feel empty, and what is the real purpose behind the drive to build something great?

    JR shares his journey from founding and running a successful ERP software company for nearly three decades to experiencing a devastating business setback that ultimately redirected his life toward ministry. Through that experience, he discovered that the leadership, perseverance, and drive that make someone a great entrepreneur can also be part of a much larger calling.

    The conversation explores the hidden struggles behind entrepreneurial success, the sacrifices business owners often make for growth, and why many leaders eventually realize that money, status, and material success cannot fill the deeper desire for purpose and meaning.

    JR also explains how psychometric assessments can reveal the unique design and calling each person has, and why leadership gifts are often meant for something greater than personal success alone.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    1. Why many entrepreneurs feel unfulfilled even after achieving financial success
    2. The hidden cost of chasing status, money, and recognition
    3. How leadership and entrepreneurial drive can point to a deeper purpose
    4. The difference between building wealth and building a meaningful life
    5. How discovering your personal design can transform how you live and lead

    This episode challenges entrepreneurs to rethink success and consider how their gifts, leadership, and influence can be used for something far more meaningful than simply building a business.

  • Dennis Yu on Why AI Can’t Replace Trust, Reputation, and Real Proof in Marketing
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode of the Built By Love Podcast, host Daniel Bussius sits down with digital marketing pioneer Dennis Yu, live from CES, to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions business owners have today: believing that AI tools and tactics can replace trust, reputation, and real-world proof.

    Dennis explains why marketing techniques and technology are meaningless without strong “ingredients” like relationships, credibility, and demonstrated results. Drawing from real examples at CES and decades of experience building massive data systems for companies like American Airlines, Yahoo, and early-stage Facebook, he makes the case that raw, unpolished, human content now outperforms highly produced, AI-generated material.

    The conversation dives deep into:

    1. Why AI is a tool, not a shortcut
    2. The difference between techniques and true marketing ingredients
    3. How personal branding is built through reputation, not self-promotion
    4. Why podcasts are one of the most powerful forms of borrowed credibility
    5. How raw content, real relationships, and proof of experience drive trust and sales
    6. Why showing what others say about you matters more than what you say about yourself

    Dennis also breaks down how entrepreneurs can use long-form content as the foundation for clips, ads, and distribution, and why trust—not attention—is the real currency in modern marketing.

    This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, service-based business owners, and marketers who want to stand out in an AI-saturated world by doing the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing.

  • Ruben Rojas on Love as a Choice, Emotional Leadership, and Turning Art Into a Business
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of the Built By Love Podcast, Daniel Bussius and Richard Varga sit down with artist and entrepreneur Ruben Rojas (Live Through Love) for a Valentine’s Day themed conversation that goes far beyond romance.

    Ruben breaks down why so many people—especially men—struggle to talk about emotions, vulnerability, and love, and how modern culture has reduced love to a soft concept instead of recognizing it as strength, discipline, and a daily decision. He explains why “love is a verb,” why integrity with yourself matters more than appearances, and how social media fuels anxiety through curated lives and comparison.

    The conversation also explores the intersection of creativity and entrepreneurship. Ruben shares what it really takes to build a brand as an artist, how he overcame the false belief that you can’t be both an artist and a businessperson, and why purpose—not profit—is the foundation of work that truly resonates. He also speaks candidly about family, time, and why being present with your children is a form of wealth most people underestimate.

    This episode covers:

    1. Why love is strength, not softness
    2. How to lead with purpose, gratitude, and emotional honesty
    3. The real cost of comparison and curated social media “wins”
    4. Why men struggle to talk about emotions and why that must change
    5. How artists can embrace business without losing the soul of their work
    6. The difference between fans and customers and what actually sustains a brand
    7. Why being present at home is a strategic life decision, not a tradeoff

    This conversation is a powerful reminder that success without connection is empty—and that choosing love consistently is one of the hardest and most impactful leadership skills you can develop.

  • Finding What Matters Most - One Man's Incredible Journey That Changed Everything
    Jan 27 2026

    In this episode of the Built By Love Podcast, Daniel Bussius and Richard Varga sit down with adventurer and explorer Mario Rigby for a conversation about presence, discipline, and what you learn when life strips away comfort and convenience.

    Mario shares powerful stories from walking solo through remote regions where there is no road access, no easy way back, and no room for error. He describes what it’s like to be truly committed to a journey—where turning around could mean running out of food long before reaching civilization, and where the landscape demands humility, planning, and mental control.

    The discussion explores how modern life can distance us from our humanity, why technology often turns us into curators instead of participants, and what changes when your day is guided by light, nature, and survival rather than notifications and noise. Mario explains the mindset required to manage the internal voice that says “stay safe” and how he balances structure with flexibility so he can stay disciplined without becoming rigid.

    This episode covers:

    1. What you learn about priorities when you can’t bring everything you want
    2. Why limitation creates deeper gratitude and appreciation
    3. How to train your mind to step into discomfort and the unknown
    4. The difference between rigid discipline and natural flow
    5. Why presence matters more than performing a story for the world
    6. How living simply reshapes what you value and what you carry

    This is an essential conversation for entrepreneurs and high performers who want more clarity, more resilience, and a more grounded definition of success.
