Built, Not Given | Pressure Reveals the Leader with Jeremy Sopko
Haus Talk
In this episode of Haus Talk, I sit down with Jeremy Sopko for a conversation about what it really takes to build something meaningful — in business, in leadership, and in life. Jeremy doesn’t sugarcoat the journey. We talk about the grind behind the scenes, the setbacks nobody posts about, and the discipline required when the excitement wears off. This isn’t about overnight wins. It’s about long seasons of consistency, faith, and staying committed when results aren’t immediate. We unpack what separates people who talk about growth from the ones who actually pursue it — the habits,...

When Quitting Isn’t an Option With Brian Folkerts

This Is What Winners Do with Nick Purler

Brad’s story is incredible. He went from being an NCAA Division I wrestler and MAC Champion to building one of the top wealth management practices in the country — all while walking through trials...

We talk about our journey—years of adversity, early-morning routines, and the shared values that shaped who we are today. From 5 a.m. wake-ups and workouts to affirmations with our daughters before school, Ember and I open up about what it really means to lead by example both at home and in business.
I also share one of the most defining chapters of my life—walking away from a toxic environment, facing a corporate lawsuit, and learning how to lead through pressure without losing my purpose.
This first episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a declaration. A reminder that high performance isn’t measured by titles or status, but by consistency, faith, and the daily choice to give your best when no one’s watching.
