  • Be Somebody’s Lighthouse
    22 Oct 2026

    Why am I doing all this? Because somewhere close to you, someone is headed for the rocks and can’t see them. In this episode I talk about being a lighthouse for the people around us, staying faithful to the dream, and why it’s never too late to learn what you need to learn. The second best time is right now.

    If you’ve got a song in your heart, play it. You never know who you’ll inspire.

    Get seen. Get sparked. Get moving again.

  • Listen Until It Makes Sense | Millionaire Mindset
    15 Oct 2026

    Where do you turn when you're searching for answers and the clock is ticking?


    This week I share an author, speaker and podcaster who showed up in my feed and models exactly what I've been looking for: faith, business and a late-career mindset, all in one person. He gives away a lot of free content, and there's no buy-in required.


    I explain why I'm following him, how I plan to take what he teaches and put it into action through the Spark Lab, and a simple challenge for you: listen until it makes sense, then decide what you'll do in the next 24 to 48 hours.


    If you're near retirement age, running a small business or side hustle, or just feel stuck, this one's for you.
    Keep moving. Get sparked.

  • Stacked Against Me
    7 Oct 2026

    In this episode:

    • How a 97-database, three-server migration pushed me into AI, deep and fast
    • Why I work a full-time job, a pizza route and care for my 89-year-old father, and still say you can start
    • Where to start: Claude, ChatGPT and the people worth following, like Dan Martell
    • Why financial freedom, not retirement, is the real question at 62

    I couldn't clone myself, so I got an assistant. This week I share how I went deep into AI with 35 years in IT, a sick father, a part-time job and a debt mountain, and why every reason not to start is a reason to start. Get acquainted with AI, then come back and tell me what you did.
