I sat down with Brandon Doyle to break down his experiment giving Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity $1,000 each to invest in the stock market. He explains how he prompted each AI model, made weekly trades based on their recommendations, and turned the whole thing into a competition. We go through the results, including how Claude more than doubled its money, while Gemini lost over half of its portfolio after making increasingly risky bets. We also talk about leveraged ETFs, knowing when to sell, and what this experiment taught Brandon about investing and human psychology.
This is not financial advice!!!
Enjoy!

In this solo episode, I explain why “follow your passion” is terrible advice and share a tactical process for discovering what you’re genuinely obsessed with. I break down eight practical exercises using your YouTube history, spending habits, childhood interests, energy levels, envy, and AI to uncover the patterns hiding in your life. Most importantly, I explain why passion usually follows progress and why taking action is the fastest way to find work you truly care about.
Enjoy!

I sat down with Luke Van Der Veer and we talked about how he built a business renting lead generation websites to local businesses. Luke shared how he went from running an SEO agency to firing almost all of his clients and building his own digital assets instead. We got into how he picks the right local niches, why boring services like towing, tree service, carpet cleaning, and concrete can work so well, and what makes a website easier to rank. Luke also broke down how he finds buyers for the leads, why he prefers flat monthly fees but has recently grown a lot through revenue share, and how he now uses his SEO skills to buy and grow real businesses.

I sat down with Kyle Miklasz, founder of Big Sky Barnhouse, to talk about how he turned an old Wisconsin dairy barn into a wildly successful Airbnb business. Kyle shared how he found the property off-market, put everything on the line to buy it, then used a single $500 Instagram reel to generate around $80,000 in bookings before opening. We also talked about why he focuses on large-group, experience-driven stays instead of generic rentals, how he finds overlooked barns and warehouses, and how his newest Wild Wild Warehouse launch became his biggest one yet. Finally, Kyle broke down how someone with less money can still get into the space through Airbnb co-hosting.

I sat down with Alex Kirby and we talked about how he went from being a pastor making around $35K a year, to building a landscaping business, then turning a simple staffing idea into $100K in sales in his first 100 days. Alex breaks down how he started by texting friends and family, why he believes global talent is such a huge opportunity for small business owners, and how anyone can start placing overseas talent without a big budget, audience, or complicated tech stack. We also talked about finding your first customer, sourcing and vetting candidates, what questions to ask in interviews, how to charge $3K to $7K for placements, and why this works especially well for blue-collar businesses.
