Garrett Cole started as a summer intern. Twenty-five years later, he's a vice president on the board of a company that does $50M in annual revenue.

At 18, he was told his real estate business plan would never work. He shelved it for two years, then picked it back up and started buying houses. In this episode, Garrett shares how giving away his last $1,000 led to his career, how he learned to hear God's voice, and what to do with a dream you've set aside.

A new playbook for getting clarity around money, meaning and momentum.

Cops run toward what everyone else runs from. But who’s checking on them when they get home?

Matt Stone spent 15 years in law enforcement. He saw things most of us never will, and he carried them home. He lost friends to suicide and overdoses. And for a long time, he didn’t say a word.

Then he found a way to start talking. On the golf course.

Matt is the founder of Playin Thru, a podcast and nonprofit built to break the stigma around men’s mental health. He takes the conversation out of the therapist’s office and onto the course, where guys actually open up. He’s played rounds with everyday men and pro athletes like Dontrelle Willis, Ryan Dempster, and Theo Fleury, having the conversations most men avoid.

In this episode we talk about:

• What 15 years on the job did to him
• Why men open up on a golf course when they won’t anywhere else
• Why men wait so long to ask for help
• How to show up for a friend who won’t open up
• What stewarding your mind actually looks like
• How you can get involved in what Playin Thru is building

If you’re a first responder, love one, or you’re just a guy who’s been holding it together a little too long, this one’s for you.

It’s okay to not be okay. But don’t stay there.

Her whole job is finding the best people on earth. Adidas, Nike, now Specialized.

You'd think someone at the top of that game would tell you to chase the title. She says the opposite. Chase the calling. Protect your peace. Be who you were made to be, and don't wait for things to come to you.

This is Shine Thomas. If you caught the episode with her husband Ranji, you already know this family. Part two does not disappoint

Im very excited about this guest Ranjy Thomas! Top artists save him in their phone as Uncle Ranjy. A few of them thought it was a term before they found out it was a person. His fingerprints are on some of the biggest names in music and ministry, and he refuses to send an invoice for most of it.

In this one he gets into anticipating the need, walking with people in their lowest moments, and why he plays for the decade instead of the single.

A new playbook for getting clarity around money, meaning and momentum.

If you're building something, a business, a nonprofit, a family, this one's for you.

Loren and his wife Rachelle started with a two-bedroom rental and one question: How do you actually love your neighbor? No plan. No blueprint. Fifteen years later they've housed nearly 1,000 women and children coming out of the hardest situations you can imagine.

It started with a 13-year-old knocking on their door two days before Christmas.

In this conversation Loren talks about the girls who kept showing up, one after another, before anyone was calling it trafficking. The FBI call that caught them off guard. The $8 million check he stared at wondering if he'd sold his soul. And the question God asked him in the car after school drop-off that changed how he saw all of it.

We get into what it means to serve your city with no agenda, why the best things you build never start from a slick plan, and how to know your neighbor when you don't even know their name anymore.

One of the most gifted musicians & creatives I know, John-Paul Gentile opens up in this episode about the brokenness of his own story — and how he turned it into relentless belief in the people around him. It’s a raw, joyful conversation about survival, talent, and choosing to champion others.

A new playbook for getting clarity around money, meaning and momentum.

Noah Elias has spent 35 years building the kind of creative career most people think isn't possible. He's painted for Disney, Lucasfilm, and Lexus. He was voted one of the top 25 artists in the world. He's built companies, written books, and coached entrepreneurs for decades.

But this conversation isn't really about the résumé. It's about what's underneath it.

We talk about the question most successful people can't answer, why he was his own worst bully for years, and what changed when he stopped performing for God and started trusting him. He breaks down the difference between a coach and a mentor, the three phases of life he takes every client through (consumer, producer, investor), and why he blocks 5 to 10 every morning as the most important work he does.

We also get into money. Why you can't live a radical life of generosity while you're broke, what a gospel patron is, and how he thinks about turning everything he's been given into something that multiplies.

If you've ever felt like your work is who you are, this one's going to poke at that.

In this episode:

• The desert question: who are you without the title
• Fear and shame, and why he wrote Fear Hunters
• Coaching is for a season, mentors are for life
• Performing for God vs. trusting him
• The 5 to 10 a.m. root system
• Consumer, producer, investor
• Gospel patrons and generosity
• AI, trust, and why depth wins from here

Mark is one of the most quietly remarkable people I’ve ever known and in this conversation he shares the kind of wisdom that only comes from lived out experience.

We go deep on identity. What proximity to large sums of money actually does to a person. The real cost of mastery. Why most people are knocking on doors they were never meant to open and one question that reframed everything for me:

“Every person lives their life from an identity — whether they admit it or not. It will affect everything you are and every decision you make.”
