The quality of your life is defined by the quality of your focus!

In this episode of the Coach Launch Podcast, Matthew White sits down with seasoned operator and straight-talking entrepreneur Jerry Brazie to unpack what it really takes to build a resilient, profitable business without hiding behind excuses.

Jerry went from abject poverty and street violence to building, buying, and running more than a dozen companies that have generated over $450 million in revenue and employed thousands of people. He’s lost fortunes, made them back, survived lawsuits, market swings, bad partnerships, and brutal hard resets—and he’s still building.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why “Everything is my fault” became Jerry’s core mindset for success
• How “Shut up and listen” changed his life and income
• The power of peer groups/masterminds for serious founders
• Why most entrepreneurs are leaving massive money on the table
• How to use radical accountability to avoid multi-million dollar mistakes
• The truth about “do what you love” (and what actually works instead)
• Why health is a performance multiplier for high-level entrepreneurs

If you’re a business owner, founder, or high-ticket entrepreneur who carries the weight of payroll, tough decisions, and leading a team through uncertainty, this episode will give you perspective, challenge your excuses, and show you how to build stronger, more resilient businesses.

The quality of your life is defined by the quality of your focus!

What if your business actually served your life—instead of consuming it?

In this episode of Coach Launch Podcast, Matthew interviews battle-tested entrepreneur and business coach Chris Shurian, founder of Bootstraps and Battle Scars and Founders Exchange. With nearly four decades of real-world experience, Chris has built and scaled multiple businesses, including a $15M construction company, resorts, hotels, and restaurants—and now coaches entrepreneurs on how to scale their business without burning out.

Chris shares how he:

• Bootstrapped his first construction company from “me and a truck” into multiple companies with 50–60 employees
• Survived the 2008 recession, lost almost everything, and rebuilt in hospitality and restaurants
• Successfully exited a restaurant business in one of the toughest industries in the world
• Turned his bootstraps and battle scars into a business coaching practice helping founders, CEOs, and owners

You’ll learn how Chris helps entrepreneurs and business owners:

• Build systems and processes so the business runs without them doing everything
• Scale their business while improving customer experience and culture
• Hire for personality and train for skill to create high-performing teams
• Identify blind spots by interviewing staff and customers and turning feedback into action
• Win back time, clarity, and mental space, not just revenue

Today, through Bootstraps and Battle Scars and Founders Exchange, Chris works directly with founders who are “successful on paper” but overwhelmed, isolated, and stressed. He helps them fix money, time, stress, and leadership challenges using practical frameworks, not theory. He’s also working on his upcoming book, distilling decades of entrepreneurial lessons into tools any founder can apply.

If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, or business owner who wants to scale your business with systems, improve leadership, and create a business that truly serves your life, this episode is for you.

Most coaches and solo entrepreneurs secretly fear the tax man—and quietly worry they’ll never feel truly safe with money. In this episode of Coach Launch, Matthew White sits down with tax strategist and financial healer Bill Fauth to show you why taxes don’t have to be the enemy and how your mindset might be the real bottleneck in your business.

Bill shares his powerful journey from severe childhood trauma and deep distrust of authority to becoming a respected tax expert, financial planner, and PSYCH‑K facilitator. You’ll hear how decades of therapy, spiritual work, and finally high-speed subconscious reprogramming helped him transform his relationship with fear, self-worth, and money—and how he now helps solo and micro business owners do the same.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the IRS actually wants you to be successful—and how the tax code is packed with “tax candy” for small business owners.
• The crucial difference between tax compliance and tax strategy, and how Bill’s Financial Physical reveals missed deductions and wealth-building opportunities.
• How unhealed childhood wounds, low self-worth, and imposter syndrome quietly cap your income and limit what you believe you’re allowed to receive.
• Practical ways to start making taxes and inflation your friends, including hiring your kids, using Roth IRAs, and owning assets that grow with inflation.

If you’re a coach or solo entrepreneur who wants to stop fearing tax time, clear your money blocks, and build real financial freedom, this episode will change the way you think about both money and yourself.

The quality of your life is defined by the quality of your focus!

On this episode of Coach Launch with Matthew White, Matthew sits down with Steve Anderson—risk strategist, tech expert and author of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller “The Bezos Letters: 14 Principles to Grow Your Business Like Amazon.”

Together, they unpack how Jeff Bezos used risk as a growth strategy rather than something to avoid. Steve explains why so many once-great companies (like Blockbuster and Kodak) died, not because they took too much risk, but because they didn’t take the right kind of risk at the right time.

You’ll hear:

• How Amazon built a culture of “successful failure” and constant experimentation
• Why Bezos banned PowerPoint and replaced it with six-page narrative memos to drive deeper thinking and better decisions
• The Anderson Growth Principles and the four cycles every business goes through: Test, Build, Accelerate, Scale
• How Steve is now helping small and mid-sized businesses use AI as a strategic thought partner—not just a writing tool—to spot patterns, reduce risk, and decide what’s next
• Practical ideas for using your own data (support tickets, customer feedback, etc.) to design new offers and keep clients longer

If you’re a coach or business owner who wants to think like Bezos, leverage AI intelligently, and turn risk into massive growth, this episode is for you.

When is “passive” real estate truly passive, and how do you keep risk low without sacrificing returns? In this episode of the Coach Launch Podcast, Matthew talks with real estate investor Ian Noble about how he helps busy business owners and professionals build low-risk, hands-off income through curated real estate deals.

Ian explains his model of co-investing in mobile home parks and private lending, how he vets operators and opportunities, and why he only brings deals he is personally invested in himself.

You will learn how Ian protects investor capital, why he turns down high-risk, high-gloss opportunities, and how he structures deals so passive investors are prioritized.

The conversation explores what to look for in an operator, how to think about risk appetite, and why saying “no” to the wrong people and projects is one of the most powerful wealth strategies.

If you are a business owner, professional, or investor who wants your money working harder than you are, without taking on another full-time job as a landlord, this episode will give you a clear and practical lens on low-risk passive real estate investing.

The quality of your life is defined by the quality of your focus!

In this episode of the Coach Launch Podcast, Matthew sits down with TEDx speaker, author, and creative business strategist Paul Pape—known in his industry as “Santa for Nerds.” With clients like Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, and The Tonight Show, Paul has spent over 20 years turning imagination into tangible “magic items” for fans, studios, and collectors around the world.

Paul shares how he went from theater set design to running a thriving custom art studio in Omaha, Nebraska, creating one-of-a-kind pieces for major films like the Harry Potter series, television, museums, and thousands of individual clients. Along the way, he discovered that the real problem creatives face isn’t talent—it’s understanding business.

That realization led Paul to create Gamify Business, a revolutionary RPG-style framework that turns traditional business concepts into an engaging “game” where you are the main character. He walks through how creatives and entrepreneurs can build a “character sheet” for themselves, assemble a complementary “party” (team), and tackle real-world monsters like scope creep, undercharging, and burnout.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why the “starving artist” identity is destructive—and how to replace it with a powerful new story
• How to confidently charge what you’re worth and stop negotiating your value
• The mindset and math behind premium pricing (and why raising your prices often improves your clients)
• How to use storytelling—not just numbers—to attract clients, investors, and opportunities
• Why understanding your strengths and weaknesses is essential to building the right team
• How to gamify goals, rewards, and motivation so business feels like an adventure, not a grind
• The danger of giving away too much for free, undervaluing your time, and ignoring your contracts
• Why valuing the people who support you (like VAs and contractors) directly impacts your growth

If you’re a creative, coach, or entrepreneur who’s tired of undercharging, overgiving, or feeling stuck, this episode will give you a playful yet deeply practical way to rethink business—and start winning your own game.
