sit down with entrepreneurs, business owners, and straight-up hustlers to hear their real stories. The failures, the late nights, the moments they almost quit, and how they pushed through anyway.
If you’re trying to build something, chase a dream, or just figure out what it takes to make it in business, these conversations will hit different. My guests get real about the mindset, the grind, and what separates the people who make it from the ones who don’t.
This isn’t about get-rich-quick BS. It’s about the work, the hustle, and refusing to give up when things get hard.
Nobody's Coming to Save You' - Raw Truth From a Self-Made Creative Entrepreneur
Today I sat down with Joseph - also known as Produkt - the owner of La Bodega Studios in the Bronx. And bro, this conversation was REAL. Joseph built a 5,000 square foot creative space that looks like a full NYC block inside a warehouse. But his journey to get there? That's the real story.Joseph became a father at 15 years old. He was deep in the streets, hustling, almost lost his life multiple times. He watched his mom lose everything and rebuild from nothing. He got told he wasn't good enough as a rapper, so he worked harder. He met my mentor Frank Urban through pure hustle - putting CDs in barbershops for free. And now? He's built one of the dopest creative spaces in New York City.

He Lost It All… Then Built Tampa Bay’s #1 Body Shop
This episode is a real one.
I sat down with one of my best friends Justin Torres, owner of Wrecktified in Clearwater, Florida, and we went all the way back — before the success, before the shop, before the reviews.
Justin breaks down how he went from making $7,000 a week to $700 a week, losing everything, dealing with depression, and watching his cars get repossessed… then deciding to take his last $15,000 and bet it all on himself.
We talk about:
hustling from a young age
becoming a father early and what that does to your mindset
building a business, losing it, and rebuilding from scratch
why failure isn’t a loss — it’s a lesson
and why sometimes the only move is to just jump
This isn’t a highlight-reel success story.
It’s the real side of entrepreneurship — the pressure, the fear, and the belief it takes to keep going.
If you’re building something, rebuilding after a loss, or stuck at a crossroads… this one’s for you.
