E66 | When did you last say "I love you" to a friend? jūn. 7, 2026 492 This episode didn't come easy, because it was difficult to find the right words.

E63 | The Networking Mistake Nobody Talks About (And How to Fix It) maijā 16, 2026 712 Everyone talks about following up after networking events. Fewer people talk about why most of that follow-up goes nowhere — and almost nobody talks about the real opportunity that most business owners walk past every single time.

The statistics are sobering: young men are four times as likely to kill themselves, three times a

E60 | How I Use Ancient Symbols and Tesla's Numbers to Help Midlife Entrepreneurs Find Clarity apr. 25, 2026 1393 Most of us try to build a business with words. A mission statement. A vision document. A goal-setting template. But what if the most important things you want to build toward do not actually live in language at all? In this episode, I open with something unexpected — a summary of myself generated by an AI after a week of working together. What came back was not just a professional profile. It was

What E57 | What Happened When a Simple Call Turned Into a Political Conversation martā 29, 2026 1325 A simple birthday call turned into a conversation about politics—and a reminder of how quickly people form strong opinions about complex decisions. In this episode, I reflect on that moment and take it further by working through a detailed and highly opinionated article by a Latvian journalist. I walk through her arguments, her historical references, and her perspective on Iran, global conflict, a
