   From Food Stamps to Profits Prophet: Inside the Mind of Matthew Galpin

   Matthew Galpin didn’t start with an Ivy League degree, a safety net, or a perfect résumé. He started knocking on doors selling frozen steaks, earning forty dollars in two weeks while watching other reps make a thousand a day. That gap lit a fire that took him from food stamps and survival mode to leading clinical research at one of the world’s busiest trauma centers all without a formal degree and eventually to founding Profits Prophet, a no‑fluff sales school built on scars, not theory. In this conversation, we go way beyond scripts and closing tips. Matthew opens up about the insecurity that drove him into sales, the moment he realised nobody was coming to save him, and the brutal lessons he learned in hospital corridors, military units, car lots and cold‑call boiler rooms. We talk about the quiet cost of being “the dependable one,” what resilience actually looks like when no one is watching, and why he believes sales is service and service is sacred. Host - Raghav Goyal Guest - Mathew Galpin 🔍 In this conversation, we dive into: If you’ve been enjoying the conversations here, it would mean the world to me if you helped keep the show going.

   These 3 skills make me 300,000 $/month - Andres Contreras

   At 16, Andrés Contreras dropped out of school, left home without telling his parents, and bet everything on himself. By 18, he was one of the highest‑earning high‑ticket closers online, co‑building a sales education movement that’s reshaping how young people think about money, work and risk. In this raw, long‑form conversation we go way beyond “how to close more deals”. Andrés opens up about the insecurity and competitiveness that drove him, the night he decided to leave, the drugs and party phase he doesn’t glamorise, and the moment he realised money alone wasn’t going to fix what was going on inside. We also dive into: Why he intentionally made his life harder when everything was already “comfortable” How he used pain and leverage to change his environment, identity and habits The dark side of power, ego and being “the best” in a room full of older people How faith, family and contribution re‑wired his reasons for chasing more What it really feels like to carry adult pressure and responsibility as a teenager The fears he still has at 3 a.m. when the dashboards are off and the room is quiet If you’re young, ambitious, and feel like the traditional path was never built for you, this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home, and might just give you the language for what you’re going through.

   Three AM Show Episode 12: 30 Years In Sales Taught Me This.....Vinit Shah

   Most people either hate sales… or think it’s something you’re just “born good at.” My guest today has spent 30+ years proving both of those ideas wrong. In this episode of The Three AM Show, I sit down with Vinit Shah, a veteran sales leader turned coach and founder, who has: Grown up selling in a family business Led sales teams in larger organisations Now helps founders and sales teams build non-sleazy, systematic sales processes We talk about what sales really looks like when you zoom out from the LinkedIn quotes and Instagram reels and look at the actual journey: rejection, self-doubt, messy pipelines, broken quarters… and the systems that turn all of that into something consistent and repeatable. If you’re a founder, creator, student, or someone who secretly hates the idea of selling but knows you have to do it… this episode is your permission to see sales in a completely different way. 🎧 Listen with a notebook. There are at least 3 questions in here you’ll want to ask yourself after.

   The Three Am Show Episode 10: “How I Almost Quit This Podcast (And Why I Didn’t)”

   I almost quit this podcast. Not because I lost interest… but because life got loud, overwhelming, and heavy.
