Advice We'd Give Our 20-Year-Old Selves - Real Talk About Success, Money & Life

If we could sit down with our 20-year-old selves, this is exactly what we’d say. No fluff. No guru talk. Just 20 years of wins, losses, and hard-earned lessons boiled down into truth.

We break down what actually moves the needle in life and business, from mentorship, money, and mindset to relationships, focus, and freedom.

This episode is raw, direct, and packed with frameworks you can apply today, whether you’re 20 and just starting… or 40 and starting over.

Here’s what we cover:
• How to shortcut success by paying for proximity
• Why money will never fix your problems
• The power of focus and mastering the boring stuff
• How to protect your identity and stop bending to fit in
• The real cost of neglecting your health, marriage, or balance
• Financial habits that buy freedom, not stress
• The exact levers (force multipliers) that scale your life and business

This isn't a theory. This is 20 years of trench warfare condensed into one episode.

Dominate your life, not just survive it.
