  Cameron Herold: How to Build a Business That Doesn't Own You 04.08.2026 1u 31min

  Most founders start a business to create freedom. Then they build one that cannot function without them.  I started this conversation with a question I have had to ask myself: Why do so many founders say they want to scale, then build a company that cannot function without them? Cameron Herold knows the cost of that contradiction. At 34, his health, marriage, family life, and business were all under extraordinary pressure. He thought he was handling it. Then a stress assessment came back at 435. Cameron says a score of 250 represented a 90% chance of a heart attack. His entire identity had become the business. In this conversation, we explore what Cameron changed after that moment and how founders can build companies that support their lives instead of consuming them. We discuss delegation, executive assistants, second-in-command leadership, personal Vivid Visions, unique ability, coaching, failure, gratitude, and why Cameron's own team told him they liked it when he went away. Cameron Herold is an entrepreneur, author, former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, and founder of the COO Alliance.

  The Hard Decisions You Avoid Are Keeping You Stuck | Nick Anderson 28.07.2026 1u 36min

  Most people aren't stuck because they don't know what to do. They're stuck because doing it requires them to confront the truth. Nick Anderson knows what it means to move through the thing you never thought you could survive. At 10 years old, Nick lost his father to suicide. Years later, his wife was struck by a car while they were taking a walk and did not survive. Nick was left to raise two young boys while battling grief, depression, and a body that had reached 305 pounds. He eventually looked in the mirror and made a decision: "I can't live this life." "I've got to stay alive for my kids." That decision began a transformation that changed his health, identity, relationships, leadership, and career. Today, Nick is the CEO and co-owner of OneAccord, where he helps companies develop stronger leaders, build executable strategies, navigate difficult personnel decisions, and create businesses that can thrive without being completely dependent on their owners. In this conversation, we get into: The stories we tell ourselves about other people and our own lives  Why the only way out is through  What actually makes someone a leader  The difference between strategy and a collection of tactics  Why your strategy must evolve as your company evolves  Outgrowing people who helped build the business  How to approach conversations most leaders avoid  The biggest threat to the value of an owner-led company  Building something meaningful for the people you love  You probably already know the conversation, decision, or change you've been avoiding. The question is how much longer you're willing to let it keep you stuck. Connect with Nick Anderson and OneAccord: https://oneaccord.co https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickdanderson/

Claudio breaks down why so much financial advice misses the mark for entrepreneurs, how business owners can think differently about reinvesting in themselves, and why tax strategy should be tied directly to growth and freedom.

  Ellen Rohr: The Money Lie Keeping Business Owners Broke 26.05.2026 1u 49min

  Most owners are not broke because they refuse to work hard. They are broke because they refuse to face the numbers. In this episode of Everything They Don't Tell You, Josh Zolin sits down with Ellen Rohr for a raw, practical conversation about the money side of business and the personal responsibility that comes with owning the numbers. Ellen breaks down why business is simpler than most owners make it, why sales, profit, and cash are the three numbers every owner needs to understand, and why "charge more than it costs" might be the uncomfortable truth that saves a business.

  John Lee Dumas: Entrepreneurs and Chasing Freedom 19.05.2026 18min

  Entrepreneurs chase freedom, but most of them build themselves a harder job. John Lee Dumas breaks down what freedom really takes: discipline, systems, boundaries, and the courage to say no.   John Lee Dumas, founder of Entrepreneurs On Fire and author of The Common Path to Uncommon Success, joins Josh Zolin for an incredible conversation about freedom, discipline, and what most entrepreneurs misunderstand when they start building a business. JLD explains why entrepreneurship does not automatically create freedom. In fact, it often means trading one boss for hundreds or thousands: customers, clients, listeners, employees, and everyone else depending on the business. The real freedom comes later. After the team is built. After the systems are in place. After the processes are clear. After the entrepreneur stops being the bottleneck. Josh and JLD also talk about defining your perfect day, the role discipline plays in creating freedom, why early-stage entrepreneurs need to say yes, and why later-stage entrepreneurs need to get better at saying no. The most practical question from the episode: "Do I need to be doing this?" Underline the word "I." Because building a business is hard. Building a life that business actually supports is the real work. __ ► Download Your 90 Day ROI Playbook — A value packed free guide created by Josh Zolin that teaches you how to Multiply Your Profits with the Skills No One Trains  https://bitnw.academy/roiplaybook

  Warren Berger: The Question That Makes You a Better Leader 12.05.2026 1u 26min

  Most leaders are trained to have answers. Warren Berger believes the better leadership skill is learning how to ask the right questions. In Episode 21 of Everything They Don't Tell You, Josh Zolin sits down with Warren Berger, author of The Book of Beautiful Questions and A More Beautiful Question, to talk about the underestimated power of questioning in leadership, business, creativity, and life. Warren explains why questions are not just conversation tools. They are leadership tools. The right question can open someone up, reveal bottlenecks, challenge assumptions, and bring people into the mission. The wrong question can shut people down, create defensiveness, and turn a conversation into an interrogation. This episode covers curiosity, humility, listening, follow-up questions, mission questions, the "question sandwich," and why leaders need to stop treating answers as the only currency that matters. If you lead a team, run a business, manage people, or want to communicate with more clarity and depth, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership. __ ► Download Your 90 Day ROI Playbook — A value packed free guide created by Josh Zolin that teaches you how to Multiply Your Profits with the Skills No One Trains  https://bitnw.academy/roiplaybook

  Dr. Robert Glover: The Hidden Cost of Being the Nice Guy 28.04.2026 1u 44min

  Most people think being a "nice guy" means being kind, generous, and easy to get along with. Dr. Robert Glover sees it differently.

This conversation goes way beyond relationships. Dr. Glover explains how "nice guy" patterns show up in business, leadership, marriage, sex, decision-making, conflict, and personal ambition. For founders, leaders, and high-performers, the real danger is not that being nice makes you weak. It's that being nice can become a mask for fear, avoidance, manipulation, and unspoken expectations. Josh and Dr. Glover get into why relationships are not supposed to be easy, why honesty solves more than hiding ever will, why "good at being good" is not the same as being great, and how men can stop living from covert contracts and start living with truth, confidence, and responsibility. In This Episode Why "nice" is not the same as good, kind, or honest The difference between healthy guilt and neurotic guilt How shame and anxiety drive approval-seeking Why relationships become powerful personal growth machines The three covert contracts nice guys live by How nice guy patterns show up in leadership and work Why honesty makes life easier Why men avoid tension, conflict, and directness How to stop hiding what you want What it actually means to become integrated Guest Dr. Robert Glover is the author of No More Mr. Nice Guy and a longtime teacher, coach, and thought leader in men's emotional health, relationships, dating, sex, and personal development.
