#77 How to Hire Right (Most Founders Get This WRONG) | Maddie Thompson
At 13, Maddie Thompson cold-messaged 150 fashion brands, got one reply, flew to Calgary with her mom, and spent three years having her designs manufactured and sold in stores before she could drive. That same willingness to do the obvious thing everyone else overthinks is exactly how she scaled Mad Social Agency to 30 people and 120 clients in six years with no degree, no investors, and no roadmap.

#74 Stop Saving Your Kids From Failure | Trystan Trenberth
You think rescuing your kids is love? Trystan Trenberth spent years thinking the same thing, until a therapist friend's single question forced him to see that his daughters didn't want him to solve their problems. They wanted to be heard. Trystan unpacks why failure isn't off the road to success but is the road, and how that same contrast principle reshaped his approach to fatherhood, fitness, and the overfunded whole life insurance strategy he uses to build wealth today.

#72 Why Being a Business Owner Doesn't Make You an Entrepreneur | Vince Ricci
There’s a moment Vince Ricci describes where time froze: a gun in his back outside his own home, his wife and newborn daughter inside, and two armed strangers waiting for him to open the door. Untrained and outnumbered, he made a choice that went viral hundreds of millions of times over. But the real story isn’t the shootout; it’s what he learned about getting “civilized,” the Rocky-esque warning about what comfort does to a fighter, and why he believes every man has an obligation to stay dangerous for the people he loves.

#71 How to Overcome Addiction Through Faith | Roger da Silva
There’s a moment in most people’s lives when something so raw and undeniable happens that they can no longer pretend the old version of themselves is working. For Roger da Silva, that moment came at two in the morning in one of Rio’s most dangerous neighborhoods, high and staring at a man running toward him screaming “Lucifer.” In this deeply personal conversation, Roger walks me through a spiritual journey that began with a baptism at 14, detoured through addiction and near-death, and ultimately arrived at a life built on faith, family, and purpose.
