  • How to Transform From Entrepreneur to CEO
    Nov 20 2025

    What does it really take to transform someone from an aspiring entrepreneur into a decisive, purpose-driven CEO? In this episode of Problems to Profit, host Preston Brown sits down with Neil Twa to break down his unconventional yet deeply effective approach to leadership transformation.

    Neil shares why most entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad strategy—but because they haven’t built the person who can lead the strategy. From mindset recalibration to identity work, emotional discipline, and the courage to create boundaries, Neil reveals the foundational elements required to build a leader capable of sustaining real success.

    Preston and Neil dive into the psychology of confidence, why self-trust is the highest form of currency, and how solving internal problems often unlocks external breakthroughs. This conversation takes you behind the curtain of Neil’s coaching philosophy—one centered on truth, accountability, and calling people to rise to their highest potential.

    Whether you're just starting out or scaling to the next level, this episode will challenge you to look inward, own your growth, and become the kind of CEO your business actually needs.

  • From $1.2M Loss to Lifelong Lessons: Jeremy Newsome on Turning Failure into Profit
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, Preston Brown sits down with trader, educator, and Real Life Trading founder Jeremy Newsome — a man whose journey from selling blackberries as a kid to building a multimillion-dollar stock education empire is as raw as it is remarkable.

    Together, they dive into what it takes to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs, why financial mastery is simply “second-grade math done consistently,” and how to protect your downside while creating infinite upside. They explore the emotional side of entrepreneurship — the guilt, the grind, and the grace it takes to own your story when failure hits hard.

    It’s a conversation about redemption, resilience, and redefining what “profit” really is. Whether you’re in business, investing, or rebuilding from loss, Jeremy’s journey is proof that every problem carries a return — if you’re willing to do the math.

  • The Business of Being You: Maya Elious’ Story
    Oct 30 2025

    What does it take to turn a teenage side hustle into a seven-figure coaching empire? In this episode of Problems to Prophets, host Preston Brown sits down with branding strategist and CEO Maya Elious to uncover how she built her business from the ground up—starting with MySpace pages in high school and evolving into one of today’s most respected voices in personal branding and entrepreneurship.

    Maya shares how she discovered her gift for messaging, why she believes clarity is currency, and how true branding is less about logos and more about identity. From her early struggles as a first-generation college dropout to coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs to raise their prices and own their value, Maya’s story is a masterclass in alignment, resilience, and purpose.

    Together, she and Preston unpack what it really means to build the CEO before the business, the difference between a coach and a consultant, and why the best brands aren’t afraid to be polarizing. This conversation dives deep into identity, values, and the psychology behind pricing, influence, and impact.
