  • Airbnb Horror Stories vs Long-Term Wealth | Harlan Miller, HG Property Management
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, host Eric Winegard sits with Harlan Miller, Owner of HG Property Management, a veteran property manager and real estate broker who’s been in the industry since 1998, with experience owning and managing real estate across Minneapolis, Phoenix, and West Palm Beach.

    Harlan specializes in property management for real estate investors, with a niche focus on condos in Palm Beach County. They break down what “professional management” actually looks like: protecting the owner, delivering five-star maintenance for tenants, and running a tight operation grounded in Florida Statute 83, lease enforcement, and fair housing best practices.

    They also dive into:

    Why most real estate is still owned by “mom-and-pop” investors

    The mindset shift that happens when people buy their first home

    The “puzzle vs chess” analogy for doing business the right way

    Why Harlan is bullish on West Palm Beach (development, leadership, and growth)

    Long-term rentals vs short-term rentals (including Eric’s Airbnb horror stories)

    Tenant screening, eviction process, and how to reduce risk as an investor

    If you’re a real estate investor—or thinking about buying your first rental—this one is packed with practical insights.

  • How to Rebuild Yourself: Fitness, Hormones, Identity & Winning Again | Clifton Mack
    Feb 12 2026

    In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric sits down with Clifton Mack, founder of Alpha Male Clinic, to unpack one of the rawest transformation stories we’ve had on the show.

    Clifton opens up about hitting a dark place, dealing with depression and weight gain, and the moment of public rejection that flipped the switch. What followed: a complete mental and physical overhaul, 45 pounds lost in 56 days, and a mission-driven business built around helping men regain confidence, health, and purpose.

    We also talk about what real “alpha” energy actually is (and what it isn’t), why strong friendships matter more than “networking,” and how lifestyle + accountability beats any quick fix.

    In this episode:

    • The rejection moment that changed everything
    • How Clifton lost 45 lbs in 8 weeks (and the discipline required)
    • “FU motivation,” stacking wins, and rebuilding self-respect
    • Why “networking” is broken—and what to do instead
    • Brotherhood, leadership, and leveling up your environment
    • The program Clifton recommends before anything else

  • Personal Branding That Sells: The Power of a Pro Headshot (w/ LuAnn Warner-Prokos)
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, we sit down with LuAnn Warner-Prokos, a double master's accredited, award-winning fine art portrait and personal branding photographer based in Boca Raton, Florida. With 14+ years of experience, LuAnn shares what most entrepreneurs miss: your personal brand starts with how people see you—and why a professional photographer can completely change your confidence, presence, and first impression.

    We get into the real psychology behind being camera-shy (yes, even confident business owners), how expert posing + lighting + wardrobe guidance can instantly level up your image, and where AI can help… but can’t replace what matters most (hint: the eyes, micro-expressions, and authenticity).

    We also dive into LuAnn’s signature campaign, the 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience, and how it’s helped women reclaim confidence, celebrate where they are, and be seen in a new way.

    If you’re an entrepreneur, executive, or business owner trying to grow on social media — LinkedIn or beyond—this one will change how you think about photos, branding, and showing up.

  • How Keith Collins Tripled a $20M Insurance District to $60M in 4 Years
    Jan 30 2026

    In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard sits down with Keith Collins — agency owner, former agency business consultant, and current Farmers Insurance District Manager — to unpack what it actually takes to build and scale a real agency.

    Keith shares how he helped grow a district from roughly $20M in premium to over $60M in just four years, why most people confuse being a great insurance advisor with being a great business owner, and what separates those who burn out in year one from those who build teams, systems, and long-term freedom.

    We also get into:

    • Why sales is the gateway skill (and why it’s not taught enough)
    • The truth about entrepreneurship: discipline, rejection, and “always being on.”
    • What the first 3 years really look like when you start an agency
    • Staffing, marketing, and infrastructure: the real levers that create scale
    • Reverse-engineering success using numbers, KPIs, and a repeatable blueprint

    If you’re a driven professional considering a career pivot — or you’re already in sales and want a path to ownership — this conversation will give you a clear, honest look at what’s possible and what it costs.
