If your team avoids confrontation, you're not addressing real problems. You're just letting them pile up until something breaks.

Tikis and I walk through a real conflict that happened hours before we recorded—how we handled it, why we didn't let emotions run the conversation, and how we resolved a major issue in under an hour.

We break down the difference between confronting the problem and attacking the person. Why playing the blame game is a complete waste of time.

And how high-performing teams use tension to pull each other up to a higher standard instead of tearing each other down.

If you're struggling with accountability on your team, avoiding hard conversations because you don't know how to handle them, or dealing with performance issues that never seem to get resolved—this episode will give you a framework that actually works.

Your marketing stopped working and you don't know why. Your ads aren't converting like they used to. Your messaging feels off. You're hiring people but nothing's moving.

Welcome to 2026—where the old playbook is officially dead.

In this episode, Tikis and I break down why most founders are struggling right now and what actually separates the ones who scale from the ones who don't survive. We're talking about the shift from survival mode to dialing things in.

Why targeting doesn't matter anymore but your messaging matters more than ever. How AI exposes broken foundations instead of fixing them.

And why if you can't sell with cold traffic, your brand isn't as strong as you think it is.

If you're hitting a ceiling, burning ad spend with nothing to show for it, or wondering why what used to work doesn't work anymore—this is the conversation you need to hear.

A few years ago, I was grinding it out like everyone else.

Chasing leads, closing deals, trying to figure out how to scale without losing my mind or my margin.

I made every mistake you can think of. Hired the wrong people.

Trusted my gut when I should've trusted the data. Burned cash on ideas that sounded brilliant at 2 AM but crashed by sunrise.

And then something clicked. I started building systems.

Real frameworks.

Decision-making processes that actually worked when the pressure was on. I stopped winging it and started winning it.

Now? I run a sales automation company that's helping businesses close more deals with less effort.

But here's the thing... I'm still in the game. I'm still making decisions, testing strategies, and yeah, still screwing up sometimes.

The difference is, I'm learning faster. Moving smarter. And I'm not keeping any of it to myself.

Every week on this podcast, I pull back the curtain on what's really happening in my business. The wins.

The losses. The $400K mistakes that taught me more than any course ever could. I break down the frameworks we use, the systems we've built, and the hard lessons that cost real money.

This isn't motivational content. This isn't theory from someone who sold a company ten years ago and now just talks about it.

This is what's happening right now, in real time, in the arena.

If you're building something real and you want the truth about what it actually takes... the strategy, the execution, the failures, and the comebacks... then you're in the right place.

Let's get to work.

Watch the full episode now and learn how we turned a $423K mistake into our biggest lesson yet.
