The Spinoso Podcast

Today, I’m sharing a story about my brand-new Lamborghini Revuelto and how a small mistake turned into a massive lesson in trust, leadership, and communication. I took the car to a trusted shop for some paint protection film, and while it sat there, the battery died. No big deal, right? But instead of calling me or Lamborghini, they tried to fix it themselves… and jumped it using the wrong port. What followed was a series of bad decisions, a fried battery system, and worst of all, no one told me the truth until I found out the hard way. This wasn’t just a car issue; it was a...

The Dark Side Of Ambition (PART 2) - EP 209 show art The Dark Side Of Ambition (PART 2) - EP 209

The Spinoso Podcast

Ambition is essential if you want to build something that lasts. It’s what drives legacy, growth, and impact—but if you’re not careful, it can also destroy your health, relationships, and identity. In this episode, we’re talking about the double-edged sword of ambition. We’re pulling back the curtain on what happens when you let the hustle take over your life, and sharing real stories about burnout, identity loss, and the price we’ve paid trying to chase more, do more, and be more. This isn’t about quitting ambition—it’s about managing it, so it doesn’t manage you.  ...

The Spinoso Podcast

As a kid, I was obsessed with cars, monster trucks, hot rods, supercars, all of it. I told my dad I wanted to be a mechanic one day, and he gave me a perspective I never forgot. He told me there was honor in that path, real, honest work—but then he asked me something that changed everything: “Do you want cars to be your livelihood… or your hobby?” That question shifted my entire trajectory. Fast forward to today, and I finally bought my dream car, a blue Aegir Pearl Lamborghini. Not leased. Not borrowed. Custom-built, piece by piece. And as it rolled off the truck, it wasn’t just a...

The Spinoso Podcast

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on something that doesn’t make the highlight reel: the dark side of ambition. Ambition is often praised and glorified; it drives success, fuels late nights, and builds empires. But what people don’t talk about is the cost. That relentless drive can leave you physically wrecked, emotionally burned out, and disconnected from the very people you’re building everything for. I’ve lived it. I've sacrificed health, relationships, and even my own peace chasing goals that, in hindsight, didn’t always matter. We get real about how unchecked...

One of the biggest mental blocks I see in entrepreneurs, especially early on, is around pricing. We hesitate to charge what we’re really worth, not because the market won’t bear it, but because we’re still thinking like our old selves. I’ve been there too. Most of us come from backgrounds where money was tight, and when it comes time to price our services, we imagine what we could’ve afforded years ago. But here’s the truth: you're not your customer, and your old financial situation should have nothing to do with your current pricing strategy. In this episode, I talk about how...

Leadership Sucks Sometimes: 5 Truths You Just Have To Accept - EP 204 show art Leadership Sucks Sometimes: 5 Truths You Just Have To Accept - EP 204

The Spinoso Podcast

Today, we're diving deep into the realities of leadership, what it looks like behind the curtain, after the motivational quotes and Instagram highlights. Before we get into it, I share a quick story about planning a birthday party for my one-year-old that went from low-key to full-on Project X with mechanical bulls, robot dancers, and mariachi bands. It’s a hilarious reminder that sometimes, leadership at home can mirror leadership in business plans, and plans can grow quickly; if you’re not careful, things can spiral out of control. However, the key takeaway is that leadership is about...

The Spinoso Podcast

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain. I’ve built the businesses, hit the numbers, bought the cars, the house, the watch—and I’m on pace for eight figures in personal income. But here’s the part no one tells you: sometimes I wake up and feel nothing. Not because I don’t love the game, but because once you’ve “made it,” the hunger changes. You’re not chasing anymore—you’re maintaining. And that gets dangerous. Success without purpose becomes pressure. You stop being driven by vision and start being driven by fear—fear of losing what you built. That’s not...

There’s a scene in Gladiator where Maximus destroys his enemies in the arena, throws his sword, and roars to the stunned crowd, “Are you not entertained?” That moment hits different. He wasn’t performing—he was fighting for something real while everyone else watched for blood. And honestly, that’s how I feel sometimes as an entrepreneur. There’s this constant pressure to be loud, to go viral, to entertain. And sometimes, I just want to scream the same thing.

I’m not in this game to dance for likes. Yes, I run a personal brand. Yes, I post content. But I do it with purpose and detachment. I’m not chasing vanity metrics—I’m running real companies with real teams that generate real revenue. This isn’t about clout. It’s about building something that lasts. I want to help others avoid the landmines I’ve stepped on. But I refuse to let social media dictate my value.

Because let’s be clear—content doesn’t build wealth. Operations do. Margins do. Team culture does. You want to impress me? Don’t show me your reels. Show me your systems. Show me your leadership. Social media will trick you into thinking applause means success. But I’ve seen too many people with followers and no cash flow. If you’re doing this for attention instead of execution, you’re not building—you’re just performing. And this isn’t the Coliseum.
