Lessons In Honesty From A Fried Lambo - EP 210
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
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 Lamborghini Lesson - EP 208
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 Dark Side of Ambition -EP 207
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...

Caring: The Curse and The Key - EP 206
The Spinoso Podcast
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
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...

When Money Doesn't Motivate - EP 202
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...

Culture Is Driven By Mission - EP 201

info_outlineToday, 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 communication breakdown. I don’t think they were trying to be shady. I think they were trying to protect me from bad news. But in doing so, they made the situation worse and broke trust. And that’s the point. If you work with high-level people, honesty and speed matter more than perfection. Mistakes won’t get you fired. Covering them up will. Leaders can’t fix what they don’t know. And when you wait too long to speak up, that silence becomes more damaging than the problem itself.
If you’re a leader, listen closely: you train your team with your reactions. If your people are afraid to be honest, you’ve trained them to lie. That’s not leadership, it’s fear. On the other hand, when someone brings you a problem and a plan, and you respond with calmness and support, that’s how you build loyalty and a strong culture. The test of any team or business isn’t whether people make mistakes, it’s whether they trust you enough to tell you when they do. Honesty might be expensive, but dishonesty will cost you everything.
