Ep. 99 The Container of Legacy: Co-Founding a Business with Your Son, Intentionality, and the Power of Choice with Joe Nicely
What happens when life takes an unexpected detour, and your most cherished roles are put to the test? In this episode of Narrative, host Tim Croll sit down with Joe (Josiah) Nicely—a Marine Corps veteran, financial advisor, business consultant, and dedicated Lego enthusiast. Following a difficult and contentious divorce, Joe found himself facing a separation from his family and a massive shift in how he could show up for his kids. Instead of letting passive circumstances write his story, Joe made an intentional, decade-long decision to put his relationship with his son first. When his son turned 16 and wanted an alternative to typical corporate retail jobs, they decided to co-found their very own Lego store. Shortly after, Joe was laid off from his corporate position—propelling them fully into entrepreneurship. In this transparent and deeply inspiring conversation, Tim and Joe discuss how a business can serve as a "container" for building generational relationships, why nobody else can achieve your personal goals for you, and the critical difference between doing "good things" and building a true, faith-driven legacy. In this episode, you’ll learn: Controlling the Narrative: Moving from passive living to making intentional, weekly life decisions. The Business as a Container: How starting a venture together created the ultimate space for raw collaboration, disagreements, and deep relationship growth between father and son. Shifting from Authority to Collaboration: The challenge of putting down the "Dad card" to actively prioritize and elevate your child’s input as an equal business partner. Wisdom vs. Understanding: Why knowing what is right isn't enough unless you have the understanding to put it into action. A Legacy that Transcends 100 Years: Realizing that career titles fade, but what you actively invest into people will yield generational returns. Stay connect and go deeper at narrative.live

Ep. 98 The Entrepreneur’s Survival Instinct: Pivoting, Building a Legacy, & Navigating Industry Shifts with Phil Kyprianou
What does it take to sustain a business when an entire industry shifts beneath your feet? In this episode, host Tim Croll catches up with longtime colleague Phil Kyprianou, a seasoned entrepreneur, e-commerce veteran, and founder of GothRider Coffee and the Hubbvee agency. From dropping out of school to launch a recording studio to navigating the early internet radio space, performance marketing, and today’s multi-billion dollar coffee industry, Phil has mastered the art of the pivot. Phil pulls back the curtain on the real realities of entrepreneurship: overcoming familial pressures, recovering from sudden 40% revenue drops due to uncontrollable customs shifts, and keeping your mind nimble as an early adopter of AI. Tim and Phil dive into what they call the "survival instinct" in business and challenge the toxic "get rich quick" culture by exploring how to build for longevity, focus on core strengths, and anchor your business in genuine customer relationships. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Reality of Parental Pressure: How a family's protective instincts can create friction when you choose a non-traditional path. The Business Survival Instinct: Recognizing the difference between pushing through a dead end and choosing to adapt your timeline.

Ep. 97 Redefining Your Money Narrative: Flashpoints, Family Legacy, and Financial Intimacy with Gino Barbaro
Description: Why is money one of the most emotional, yet taboo, topics we can discuss? In this episode, host Tim Croll sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and educator Gino Barbaro to peel back the layers of our deeply ingrained financial narratives. Gino shares his own journey from running his family’s traditional restaurant to managing over a thousand apartment units alongside his partner, Jake. Discover how childhood "financial flashpoints" subconsciously dictate our adult financial decisions, how staying small out of fear holds us back, and why running a family requires the exact same systems, culture, and core values as scaling a successful business. Tim and Gino also dive into the concept of "financial intimacy" between spouses and why leaders must learn to connect before they correct. Whether you're struggling with money anxiety or looking to build a legacy for the next generation, this episode offers a refreshing, transparent look at mastering the game of money. In this episode, you’ll learn: How the historic 1971 shift off the gold standard fundamentally altered the middle-class relationship with money. The power of recognizing your childhood financial memories to break free from scarcity mindsets. Why defining your 30-year vision using reverse engineering is vital for planning your life's journey. How to scale your business and your household using sustainable systems and processes. Tips for creating honest conversations around money with your spouse to cultivate real intimacy.
