Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter!Let’s talk about something most people don’t realize:You can be rich and still feel broke. You can be successful and still feel not enough. You can save lives every day—and still wonder if you’re failing as a husband, father, or friend.In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Dr. Richard Farnam, a top-tier gynecological robotic surgeon, YouTube educator, and self-proclaimed lifelong learner.But this episode isn’t about fancy titles or flashy accolades.It’s about the real stuff. Like growing up poor in rural Wisconsin, wrestling with a scarcity mindset that doesn’t quit, and realizing that being the best surgeon in the world doesn’t excuse you for being a shitty dad or an absent husband.We talk about burnout, what most doctors get wrong about money, why success without family is empty, and how mastery, gratitude, and curiosity can save more than just your bank account.Dr. Rich also breaks down how robotic surgery revolutionized women’s healthcare, the truth about doctors and wealth, and why niching down is the most underrated key to financial freedom, both inside and outside of medicine.“ Being the top best surgeon does not excuse you from being the top best husband and the top best father.” - Dr. Richard Farnam.Connect with Dr. Richard Farnam (a.k.a.

Controversy Is Your Superpower: Why Playing It Safe Is Killing Your Business
Let me ask you something…Would you sit through a movie where nothing goes wrong, no one struggles, and everything turns out just fine? Of course not. That’s not a story—it’s a snoozefest. So why are so many entrepreneurs trying to build a business like that?In this episode, I’m sharing why controversy isn’t something you should avoid. It’s something you should leverage. Controversy is human. It’s messy, emotional, and powerful. And when you know how to use it right, it becomes your greatest asset in business.People don’t follow you because you're polished and perfect. They follow you because you solve real problems, and real problems come wrapped in controversy. The more honest you are about the struggles you help people overcome, the more magnetic your brand becomes.I’m sharing how to use your truth to build trust, how to tell stories that actually sell, and why the most successful entrepreneurs lean into what others run from."People are not gonna follow you because they just love your beautiful, immortal soul. They're gonna follow you because you solve a problem, and you do it in an epic way." ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

Women in Business: The Powerhouse You’re Missing, with Victoria Isais
Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter!Alright, let’s get real for a second.You’ve probably heard the chatter. Hiring women is “risky,” or it’s a legal minefield, or maybe you’ve just been burned by a toxic hire and swore off the idea. I get it. But here’s the thing: that’s a load of crap if you know what to look for.In this episode, I’m sitting down with Victoria Isais, a woman who’s been through the wringer—from abandonment at two weeks old to toxic relationships, five marriages, and a reputation as the “biggest bitch” in town—and came out the other side a millionaire entrepreneur leading tens of thousands of women. Victoria is here to share why women are the secret sauce your business needs, not just for the warm fuzzies but for cold, hard results.We’re talking culture that keeps people loyal, work ethic that doesn’t quit, and a nurturing vibe that turns an office into a tribe. Plus, she’s spilling the tea on how to spot the red flags so you don’t end up with a lawsuit instead of a rockstar employee.“Women are the pillars of our household. So if we’re the pillars of our household, what could we do in your business?” ~ Victoria IsaisConnect with Victoria Isais:📸 Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/queenupnow Connect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

The Business Advice You Need (and What to Ignore)
Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter!Let’s talk about something that’s been bugging me for a while.You’ve seen it. The viral reels, the TikToks, the fake flexes, the business coaches who haven’t built a single thing but want to charge you $10K to “unlock your potential.”Yeah, I’m over it. And honestly, you should be, too.In this episode, I’m breaking down why you need to ignore 90% of the business advice floating around online. Not because advice is bad but because most of it has one goal: to hook your attention and sell you something. Not to help you win.I’m also diving into where I think the future is heading. With AI, quantum computing, and automation, it’s not a matter of if traditional jobs die off—it’s when. So yeah, we need to rethink everything."The sales process is education. The marketing process is entertainment. The clickbait that you see on 90% of social media misses the education piece.
