At 18, Marco Duarte left hisfamily in Guatemala on a full athletic scholarship and moved to the United

States - knowing almost no one, barely speaking English, and learning to swimin a very different kind of deep end.

Then, when most people would have settled, he moved again - this time to South Africa, a country he had never lived in, to build a business from scratch.

He now runs Duarte Media, a performance marketing agency in Cape Town helping small and medium businessesget real, trackable results from Google and Meta ads.

In this conversation, Marco gets into:

→ Why getting comfortable oncamera is the #1 move for entrepreneurs with a small ad budget

→ The difference betweenbusinesses that just run ads and businesses that actually grow from them

→ What it truly costs to chaseyour dreams across continents

→ A single line from a movie hehated that completely changed how he approaches fear

→ Why every opportunity has awindow - and windows close

This one hits different. Marco is the real deal - roots intact, cheap pen in pocket, and a philosophy that will stay with you long after this episode ends.

"What you're notwilling to sacrifice becomes the sacrifice."

At 25, Tyler Dunagin was managing a quarter billion dollars in real estate assets for someone else.

He had the title, the income, and the career path everyone said to want.

Then he drained his 401k, bought a box truck, and started flipping apartments.

His parents asked: "Are you sure?" He said: "It's too late. Already did it."

Today Tyler runs Turn Serve - an Inc 5,000 listed company, ranked 2nd fastest-growing in its space - plus a platform of brands and a patented bathroom product he invented himself.

And he did it without connections, without a business degree, and without a plan that looked good on paper.

In this conversation, Tyler gets into:

→ Why your "why" is allowed to start selfish, and why that's actually the right place to start

→ The counterintuitive habit his coach forced on him that unlocked his best thinking

→ Why far less qualified people are doing far more than you - not because they're smarter, but because they simply decided to start

→ How curiosity beats credentials every single time→ What it really means to leave a legacy (hint: it's not the house or the trust fund)

This one will hit.

What if everything you thought about financial planning was wrong?

In this episode Mike Milligan - founder of One Oak Financial, Amazon bestselling author, and one of the most compelling voices in personal finance today - had a conversation with me that goes far deeper than money.

Mike shares how watching his grandmother sell collard green sandwiches as a child sparked a lifelong love for business and wealth-building. He opens up about the devastating loss of his brother Jonathan at 41 - and how that moment redefined his entire mission. And he pulls back the curtain on the financial industry, revealing exactly how to tell if your advisor is truly working for you or just chasing a commission.

This episode covers:

-Why financial education is the most powerful tool you have

-How to vet a financial advisor (and the questions most people never think to ask)

-The "mirroring" sales technique used against you, and how to spot it

-Why a real financial plan fits on one piece of paper

-How to start building a one of a kind life - at any age

Whether you are just starting out or approaching retirement, this conversation will change the way you think about money, time, and legacy.
