Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the Finish Strong: Start Fresh 2025 Summit last November 18. That room meant a lot to me. I shared my personal journey from nearly becoming a surgeon to stepping into the hedge fund and private investment space, and why true wealth isn't about income, titles, or working harder. It's about leverage, precision, and time freedom. I talked about how the ultra-wealthy actually build wealth, why most people are never exposed to these conversations, and how futures and commodities, when navigated correctly, can become a high-income skill that gives you back control of your time and life. My mission has always been simple: democratize access to information that's usually reserved for a very small circle, and prove it live, not just talk about it.

If any of this sparked curiosity, you're always welcome to sit in on our weekly sessions. We teach at night, and we go live in the mornings to show exactly how it's done in real time. No obligation. No pressure. Just exposure and awareness. If you don't see us do what we say we do, you can walk away.

Episode 95 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and this is a client success testimonial I'm incredibly proud to share. I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Fakhry, an internal medicine physician who has walked through burnout, doubt, and a breast cancer diagnosis, and still chose to fully commit to learning futures trading with discipline and patience. We talked about what made her take that leap, how trading eventually clicked for her the same way medicine does through repetition and structure, and how she now trades consistently around a full clinic schedule with clarity, confidence, and a bigger vision of freedom for herself and her family. Stories like this are exactly why I love sharing our clients' journeys, because this is what's possible when you stay grounded in your why and keep showing up.

🎙️ Episode 94 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is out.

I brought back my neighbor from Springfield, Missouri, ⚡Neil Twa⚡, CEO of Voltage, for part two of our conversation. Neil has built and scaled e-commerce brands at a level few people ever reach, and this round goes deeper into how he thinks about product discovery, profit structure, brand development, and using Amazon as a real testing ground before expanding across channels. Neil lays out a practical way to train your mind to spot opportunities, evaluate them by the numbers, and build a brand that compounds over time instead of getting trapped in emotional decision making. It is tactical, grounded, and backed by the exact systems he uses inside his private equity portfolio.

Episode 93 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is now live, and today I sit down with someone whose journey carries real depth and substance. Caitlin Cynthia Durning, CEO of Meraki Media Management, walked into the world of investing at fifteen under circumstances most people would never expect. She turned that experience into a foundation that carried her through college, entrepreneurship, and ultimately into building a data driven digital marketing agency that continues to make waves. We talked about discipline with money at a young age, learning to study markets long before it became fashionable, how intuition and data can coexist in business, the realities of entrepreneurship, and what she envisions for her next decade. Her perspective is sharp, grounded, and valuable for anyone building something meaningful.

Episode 92 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, featuring Robert Heath, Sr., founder of the Legacy Leadership Consulting Group. This is part two of our conversation, and we dive into the power of alignment, how your beliefs, purpose, and daily actions determine the results you get. Robert breaks down how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary outcomes when they get aligned, move from a scarcity to an abundance mindset, and integrate their work and life in harmony rather than chasing the myth of balance. We also explore the compounding effect of consistent effort and how aligning your vision with your actions opens opportunities others might miss.

Robert challenges high achievers to reconsider their beliefs about success, fulfillment, and leadership, and he shares practical insights on how to create systems that let you pour into others from a full cup. For anyone looking to accelerate results without burning out, this episode is worth a listen 👉 LinkedIn

🎙️ Lightspeed Investing Podcast Episode 91 is now live.

I sat down with ⚡Neil Twa⚡, CEO of Voltage, for a conversation that cuts through the noise in e commerce. Neil has spent nearly two decades building and scaling physical product brands across Amazon, Shopify, TikTok and retail. In this first part of our talk, he breaks down what people consistently misunderstand about the business, why most beginners limit their own potential before they ever launch, and what it really takes to build a brand that becomes a meaningful asset over three to five years. His perspective on capitalization, risk, and the mindset required to win in this space is something every entrepreneur should hear.

Neil also shared a simple next step for anyone who wants to see whether e commerce is a real fit. Visit voltagedm.com to access their free training and learn how their Greenlight Method helps people identify profitable physical product opportunities.

Episode 90 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live.

This one's powerful. I sat down with Charles I Alvarez, Founder of Cornerstone Growth Solutions, to unpack how he turned a $70K account into over $1.2M in just six weeks through our system. What stood out most wasn't the numbers—it was the mindset behind them.

Charles shared how years of running a successful consulting firm still left him feeling like his financial future was out of his control. What he discovered inside our environment wasn't just a way to grow capital fast—it was a system that rewards discipline, emotional control, and personal growth. He found something he loves doing every day, something that depends only on him.

As he put it, "Find something you love and put your whole heart into it. If that doesn't describe where you are now, I challenge you to give this some serious consideration."

If you'd like to connect with Charles directly, you can find him on LinkedIn.

🎙️ Lightspeed Investing Podcast | Episode 89 with Robert Heath, Sr.

In this episode, I sit down with Robert Heath Sr., a former teacher, attorney, and Marine Corps officer who now helps high-achieving professionals realign their lives with purpose as an Alignment Architect.

Robert shares his powerful journey from playing it safe to embracing alignment—learning that living cautiously often leads to regret, while living with purpose leads to fulfillment. We talk about how fear, perfectionism, and the pursuit of "safety" can keep us from our true potential, and how to shift from sacrifice to investment—not just in our careers, but in ourselves.

This conversation hit home for anyone who's ever looked "successful" on paper yet still felt misaligned internally. Robert's story is a reminder that fulfillment isn't found in doing more—it's found in doing what actually matters.
