Wow. Okay. 😂 I’ve made some pretty tough decisions over the years. Didn’t think saying two words would be one of them. The marketing team wins this round.

Sometimes the most expensive business lessons come from what you thought you knew. @EDSecMcMahon shared how an investment outside their expertise led to bankruptcy and a lesson she never forgot. Success doesn’t mean you’ll get every decision right. It’s about learning from the ones you get wrong. Great conversation with @EDSecMcMahon on PodCrash. Full episode in bio. 🎙️

What happens if the Department of Education is eliminated? I went straight to U.S. Secretary of Education @EDSecMcMahon to ask what that would actually mean, what success looks like, and how we get there. Big decisions. Big implications for the future of education. Full conversation on PodCrash. Link in bio. 🎙️ #PodCrash #LindaMcMahon #Education

Before WWE became a global powerhouse, they were selling tickets one at a time. @EDSecMcMahon shared how they built the business from the ground up, relying on trust, relationships and a whole lot of hard work. That’s the side of entrepreneurship people don’t always see. Great hearing this side of Linda’s story on PodCrash.

A college degree should open doors, not create a lifetime of financial pressure. I believe every young person deserves a path to a great career. Education is an investment. The opportunity on the other side should be worth it. Great conversation with U.S. Secretary of Education @EDSecMcMahon on PodCrash. Full episode out now. 🎙️

Nobody builds anything meaningful alone. When I asked Shadi Bakour who he would champion, he pointed to the people behind @drinkpathwater The team. The partners. The manufacturers. The investors. The people who kept showing up and helped move the business forward. That’s the part of success people don’t always see. 👊

For a long time, we’ve treated the skilled trades like a second choice. That has to change. There is real opportunity here. Great careers. Great income. Work that matters. The question is whether we’re willing to show the next generation what’s actually possible. We need to stop overlooking the trades and start championing them.

The best leaders don’t point fingers first. They have the humility to look at themselves, the accountability to own their part, and the discipline to make the team better. That’s the difference between having authority and actually leading. Great conversation with @LeifBabin cofounder and president of @EchelonFront 👊

I asked @LeifBabin Co-founder & President of @EchelonFront Who would you champion? His answer was Debbie Lee. She turned the loss of her son in combat into a mission to serve other military families. That answer says a lot about what real leadership looks like. 🇺🇸 Episode is live now. Click the link in my bio to watch. #podcrash #crashchampions #championmindset

A lot of what I'm good at today came from being bad at it first. You learn. You work at it. You keep showing up. Eventually, the thing that used to be a weakness can become your superpower. Great conversation with @davidmeltzer on Playbook Podcast 👊

You can usually spot an entrepreneur early. At 10 years old, Shadi Bakour wasn’t just sitting in a doctor’s office. He was doing the math on the business. That curiosity never really leaves you. You just find bigger problems to solve. Great conversation with Shadi Bakour, CEO of @drinkpathwater on PodCrash. Click the link in my bio to watch now 🎙️

The best businesses don't start by asking, "What can I sell?" They start by asking, "What does this person actually need?" That's how you create value. That's how you earn trust. #crashchampions #workethic #championmindset

The gold is in what went wrong. I used to think winning meant avoiding mistakes and setbacks. It doesn’t. The obstacles force you to adjust, make decisions, and get better. Things will go wrong. The solution is what you do next. Great conversation with @scottdclary on the Success Story Podcast about growth, building @CrashChampions and a whole lot more. #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #GrowthMindset #SuccessStoryPodcast #CrashChampions

Nobody wanted Patrón. Too expensive. Too different. Too easy to dismiss. @johnpauldejoria stuck with the quality and let the market catch up. Sometimes the right move is not changing the product. It’s having the perseverance to keep going. 🎙️ #PodCrash

A title might get people to report to you. It won’t make them follow you. Leadership starts when people know you care, trust your direction, and choose to give you more than the minimum. That part has to be earned. Great talk with James D. White, live now🎙️ #PodCrash

Sometimes the best business partner is the person you already trust. @johnpauldejoria and Paul Mitchell started as friends, built together, and became 50/50 partners. No complicated formula. Trust the person. Do the work. Figure it out together. 🎙️ #PodCrash #johnpauldejoria #paulmitchell

Still feels like home. No matter how big the company gets, I never want to get too far from the shop floor or the people doing the work every day. That’s where it all started. 👊 #crashchampions

The biggest limits are usually the ones we put on ourselves. @johnpauldejoria built businesses before social media, before smartphones, before any of the tools we take for granted today. His point was simple: there's more opportunity now than ever. Believe bigger. Change your mindset. Great conversation on PodCrash.
