EP773 - Michael Erath on Essential Strategies for Leaders to Build Elite Teams
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to Michael Erath. Michael talks to us about Essential Strategies for Leaders to Build Elite Teams. Michael Erath doesn’t just teach entrepreneurs how to build elite organizations—he’s lived it, lost it, and built it back stronger. In his late 20s and early 30s, he scaled a business to a $45 million global enterprise. However, in 2009, the housing market crash and a fraudulent business partner’s actions devastated his success. Flat on his back, with nothing left, he did what real entrepreneurs do—he fought back. Today, Michael empowers entrepreneurs to build the life they always imagined. A seasoned entrepreneur, Inc. 5000 CEO, and battle-tested business coach, he knows what it takes to break through plateaus, eliminate chaos, and create a company that runs with precision. Michael’s latest book, Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations, lays out a clear, no-BS blueprint to build something extraordinary. For leaders who refuse to settle—for those who want both a thriving business and a life rich with purpose—Michael and his Five Obsessions Framework deliver the clarity, strategy, and execution to make it happen

His workshops and keynotes fuse tactical wealth-building with raw inner work. Because Toby knows: if the man isn’t built right, the empire will collapse. He’s coached contractors, entrepreneurs, faith-driven men, and underdog leaders across the country — helping them kill their excuses, sharpen their discipline, and step fully into the fire of their potential. Whether he’s speaking on stage or coaching one-on-one, Toby’s message is simple and searing: comfort is the enemy, and the man you were born to be is on the other side of war. Toby Potter doesn’t motivate. He resurrects.

EP750 - R.T. Custer on taking on the big guys as a challenger brand
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to entrepreneur R.T. Custer. R.T. talks to us about taking on the big guys as a challenger brand. R.T. Custer is an entrepreneur, dreamer, and champion of American manufacturing. As the founder of Vortic Watch Company and Colorado Watch Company, R.T. has spent over a decade proving that high-quality watches can be made in the USA. His companies transform antique pocket watches into modern wristwatches and produce American-made mechanical watches at scale. But his vision goes beyond watches—he’s building Vortic, Inc. to be the backbone of American watch manufacturing. Through his American Dreamers YouTube channel, R.T. shares his journey and interviews entrepreneurs who believe in making things here—not there. When he’s not running his companies, R.T. is a devoted father to his two sons, Sawyer and Wesley, and an advocate for small business owners and entrepreneurs who dare to take the road less traveled. He’s on a mission to show his sons exactly what his dad told him: “you can do anything you put your mind to.”

EP748 - Chris Duprey on how leader training is non-existent today and why that needs to change
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to leadership expert Chris Duprey. Chris talks to us about how leader training is non-existent today and why that needs to change. Chris Duprey has built his career—and his life—on the belief that every person has untapped potential waiting to be discovered. A former Army officer turned business leader and coach, Chris thrives on helping others uncover what’s possible within themselves, guiding them toward breakthroughs that create lasting impact. His journey began in the 82nd Airborne Division, where a pivotal lesson from his mentor taught him the power of listening and being present. That moment set him on a lifelong path of self-awareness and leadership, emphasizing disciplined initiative and fostering a culture where people could find their own solutions. Chris carried those principles into his role as a company commander, where he focused on developing paratroopers into leaders and bringing out their best. After transitioning from the military, Chris led teams in the business world and earned his graduate degree at Quinnipiac University. Along the way, he was deeply influenced by mentors like Adam Barlow, who instilled a relentless drive for excellence, and Marcus Sheridan, who demonstrated the transformative power of communication and energy. Chris’s work is also shaped by his studies in mindfulness and leadership, from books like 10% Happier to Start With Why. Today, as a partner at The Question First Group, Chris helps leaders and teams have better conversations, build deeper connections, and achieve breakthroughs. His mission is simple: to create leaders who create other leaders. Whether he’s working with a sales team or guiding an executive, Chris’s goal is always the same—to help people be just a little better today than they were yesterday. Outside of work, Chris channels his creativity as a musician, playing bass guitar and writing lyrics for his band. He’s also a devoted father, whose kids constantly remind him of the importance of explaining the “why” behind any action. Inspired by his own father’s warmth and belief in him, Chris strives to make others feel valued and included—whether at a backyard barbecue or a boardroom meeting. Chris believes that with self-awareness, intentional communication, and a commitment to growth, anyone can achieve extraordinary things.

EP746 - Jeremy Delk on finding your “why”
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to serial entrepreneur Jeremy Delk. Jeremy talks to us about finding your “why”. Jeremy Delk is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and author known for his ability to disrupt industries and drive innovation. With over two decades of experience, his ventures have generated hundreds of millions in revenue and created numerous high-paying jobs across various sectors, including biotechnology, healthcare, consumer brands, technology, and real estate. As the founder and CEO of Delk Enterprises, he has built a diversified portfolio that continues to make a significant impact. Born and raised in Bardstown, Kentucky, Jeremy grew up in a blue-collar household. Despite his small-town roots, he always had big ambitions. At just 17, he began day trading, quickly earning tens of thousands of dollars daily. However, by the time he was 19, he suffered a massive financial loss, losing nearly $2 million in four days. This early setback became a defining moment in his journey, teaching him resilience, adaptability, and the importance of learning from failure. Determined to succeed, Jeremy joined Fidelity Investments, becoming one of the firm’s youngest institutional equity traders in Boston and New York. But the corporate world couldn’t contain his entrepreneurial spirit. He soon left to establish Delk Enterprises, a venture capital firm that has since played a pivotal role in launching and scaling multiple successful businesses.
