21st Century Entrepreneurship ·

2025/11/11

Adam Cerra is a high-ticket sales expert who has closed more than $30 million in offers for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs. We spoke about how he teaches people to “sell without selling” — a process he calls inverse closing, where persuasion is replaced by empathy and guided conversation. As Adam puts it, “You’re not convincing anyone to buy anything. You’re getting your prospect to sell themselves for the offer.” His approach hinges on emotional intelligence — the ability to feel wh...

Dwan Bent-Twyford is one of America’s most recognized real estate investors and educators, known for turning a $75 setback into a multimillion-dollar career. We spoke about how losing her home and car as a single mother became the catalyst for a 35-year journey and over 2,000 completed property deals. Her approach begins with empathy, not transactions. “People before profits,” she said, describing how she focuses on homeowners in distress—those facing foreclosure, divorce, or loss—rather than...

Through his Barrel Strength Leadership framewor...

21st Century Entrepreneurship ·

2025/10/23

Michael Jacobson is the CEO who transformed a struggling flower shop into a thriving, multi-location enterprise generating over $9 million in revenue. We spoke about how he acquired a near-bankrupt business and rebuilt it by blending technology, artistry, and a mission grounded in love rather than profit. “Profit’s a great thing,” he said, “but it’s a means to our greater why.” Instead of chasing corporate slogans about being “number one,” Jacobson focused on culture, human connection, and el...

21st Century Entrepreneurship ·

2025/10/21

Brennan Haelig is a digital marketer turned agency owner, and we spoke about going from sleeping in a 10×10 studio to leading a multi–seven-figure team of 18. “Back in 2018, I was homeless, sleeping in my recording studio,” he recalls, adding, “I remember having 50 cents in my bank account.” The early aim wasn’t millions—it was simply to support himself without “a full time corporate job.” His turning point came when he was let go from a part-time day job and had to go all-in. Growth followed...

2025/10/14

Alex Mehr is a scientist-turned-entrepreneur who built and sold companies generating over a billion dollars in revenue. We spoke about how the speed and accessibility of AI have fundamentally changed what it means to be an entrepreneur today. “The best thing you can do is to become an idea machine,” he says — because execution cycles are now so fast that markets reward creativity and adaptability over long-term focus on a single idea. He calls this new model the “one-two punch”: first, turn a...

2025/10/07

Mark Lee Fox is a former Space Shuttle chief engineer who spent over 16 years at NASA before an unexpected event set him on a new trajectory. “My dog couldn’t come up the stairs one day,” he recalls, describing the moment that led him to explore energy-based healing technologies. Initially skeptical—“I’m a rocket scientist, so I thought that can’t be true”—Fox discovered that NASA had used pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) since the 1970s to counter bone loss in space. Driven by both scien...

21st Century Entrepreneurship ·

2025/10/04

Maria Gallucci is a top 1% realtor in Colorado and the author of Raised in Silence, a book inspired by her life as a child of deaf parents. We spoke about how growing up in both the hearing and deaf worlds taught her that “listening isn’t about hearing, it’s about paying attention,” and how that understanding shaped her career and advocacy for inclusivity. Her journey began when she was just twelve, interpreting for her parents as they bought their first home—without an interpreter present. T...

2025/09/30

Stewart Heath is a certified public accountant with 40 years in business, and we spoke about the lessons he learned from building—and losing—a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio. He explained how chasing aggressive growth left him vulnerable in 2008: “As of June 30th of 2008, I had a net worth upwards of $20 million…90 days later, I was probably underwater $5 million.” The turning point came when he realized reserves and risk controls mattered more than fast expansion. He now focuses o...

2025/09/22

Alan Porter is a retired Blackhawk instructor pilot who turned to financial advising after tragic events in his family. We spoke about how his military discipline—“I knew every nut, every bolt” of the helicopters he flew—shaped his approach to protecting families from financial risk. The turning point came when his daughter-in-law used a little-known life insurance rider during her cancer treatment. “If it had not been for that, my son would be bankrupt.” Since then, Porter has focused on str...

2025/09/18

Adam Hager is a former corporate sales professional who traded his stable 9-5 for a system of building cash-flowing Airbnbs. We spoke about how he scaled from pitching his very first landlord to managing over 40 properties while spending just “one to two hours a week max on managing.” His turning point came when he discovered Airbnb arbitrage—leasing properties and relisting them—combined with business credit to cover startup costs. “The very first person I ever pitched their property to actu...
