What if the life you were told to chase was never designed to make you free?
Most people follow the script: school, job, retirement… and hope it works out. But 95% never achieve real financial freedom — while 5% build lives of ownership, leverage, and choice.
This podcast documents my real-time journey to become part of that 5%.
After trying college, private university, 20+ jobs, and multiple businesses, I realized the traditional path wasn’t for me. For the last six years, I’ve obsessively studied what separates high performers, entrepreneurs, and financially free individuals from everyone else.
Now I’m applying everything I’ve learned — publicly.
Each week, I share the wins, losses, mindset shifts, business lessons, wealth-building strategies, and uncomfortable truths I’m discovering along the way as I pursue total time and money freedom for my family.
If you’re serious about personal growth, entrepreneurship, financial independence, and building a life with more “get to” do’s than “have to” do’s — this is for you.

🎙 What if I told you the worst excuse in the world is the one you sell to yourself?
Welcome to 5% Radio, where we dive deep into the mindset of success, the inevitability of failure, and the lessons hidden in the pressure of losing. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why winners actually lose more than losers, how to harness failure as fuel, and why change is inevitable but growth is optional.
We kick things off with an inspiring story from Chicken Soup for the Soul about Monty Roberts—the kid who refused to give up his dream, even when his teacher slapped an F on his future. From there, we explore the raw, often uncomfortable truths about losing:
🔥 Segment 1: The Pressure of Losing – How setbacks either break you or build you.
🔥 Segment 2: Why Winners Lose More – The difference between running from failure and learning from it.
🔥 Segment 3: The Loser’s Choice – When the heat’s on, do you quit or lean in?
🔥 Segment 4: Change is Circumstantial, Growth is Optional – Life changes, but you decide if you grow.
🔥 Segment 5: Turning Losses into Wins – Why keeping score matters and how your mindset shapes your outcomes.
We’ll talk about the hard stuff—the excuses you tell yourself, the temptation to quit when things get tough, and how consistency, not comfort, builds character. You’ll hear quotes from thinkers like Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady, and Thomas Edison, and learn why embracing losses is the only real way to win in the long game.
🔑 Key Takeaway:
“If you’re not willing to lose short-term, you’re choosing to lose long-term.”
