Do you have a gift or talent — but no idea how to turn it into income? This episode is for you.

Linnsey sits down with David D. Simons — founder of Kingdom Social Media — to break down how he went from getting expelled in high school to building a digital agency that has generated millions in client results.

David opens up about growing up in a strict Ghanaian household with only four “acceptable” career options, walking away from engineering to pursue digital media, and what happened when he lost both his job and his biggest client within weeks of each other.

They unpack what it really looks like to build from scratch — the grind, the discipline, the faith, and the risk behind entrepreneurship — plus the practical frameworks David uses to help speakers, coaches, and consultants monetize what they already know.

Because most people don’t fail from lack of talent.

They fail because they never learn how to distribute their gift.

Building a following is one thing. Turning it into a career is another.

Linnsey sits down with Dayna Marie — TikTok creator with 6.8M followers — to talk about what it really takes to blow up on social media, stay relevant, and actually make money doing it.

Dayna opens up about the reality of content houses, how she went from behind-the-camera videographer to one of the early TikTok creators, and why consistency matters more than talent when it comes to growth — plus how influencer income really works, when the money starts, and where it actually comes from.

They also get vulnerable about the messy side of influencer life: public relationships, cheating culture in LA, dating when you’re more successful than your partner, and what “secure love” looks like when you finally find someone who’s on your level.

Building a brand? Selling a product? Want a stronger network? Push play.

Linnsey sits down with Bruce Cardenas — former Marine, LAPD officer, and celebrity bodyguard turned brand-builder — to unpack how relationships and sweat equity helped take Quest from kitchen-made protein bars to a $1B cash sale, and how he repeated the playbook with Legendary Foods.

This episode delivers priceless insight on what actually moves product (spoiler: it’s not “marketing” the way most people think). Bruce breaks down the power of leading with value, building real relationships, and the hard lessons he learned when cash flow nearly wiped him out. This is a lesson every founder needs to hear before learning them the hard way.
