This is Why Most People Never Get Rich
Most people are playing the wrong game. I used to think everyone should start a business. I don't think that anymore. In this episode with Al Elliot, we talked about why chasing the wrong career or business can leave you miserable, even if you win. I shared the story of a friend who did everything right, top law school, high-paying job, but realized he hated his life. We talked about how to pick the right game, why trying to change the world too early is a losing move, and how spotting real talent can change everything.

The Hard Truth About Success.
In this episode, Nick Huber and Adam Lush (@MindBranches) discuss life, business, and success during a live X.com Spaces conversation. They pull back the curtain on why most people underestimate their stress tolerance, how confidence is built by doing hard things, and why pride is the silent killer of great decisions. Nick explains why trying to invent something revolutionary is usually a losing game and why doing the simple things exceptionally well is the real path to wealth. Throughout this live X Spaces, Nick also answers audience questions in real-time, breaking down exactly why most people fail, how to pick winning opportunities, and the one mindset shift that separates successful entrepreneurs from those who fail or quit.

Why Urgency Beats Strategy Every Time
In this episode, I sat down with Ryan Hawk to talk about the one thing that separates winners from everyone else, urgency. You don’t need another meeting, you need to make a decision and get it done by lunch. I also shared the story of how my VP of Finance called me out on a bad deal, and why creating a culture where your team can challenge you is non-negotiable.

How I Learned to Love Sales (After Hating It)

How I Learned to Love Sales (After Hating It)
In this episode, I talked with Ryan Hawk about one of the biggest wake-up calls of my career: if you don’t like sales, you’re in trouble. I used to think I could just be the visionary. The builder. The guy behind the scenes making things happen. But that only works in theory. In reality, every meaningful result in life requires sales, whether it’s getting someone to join your team, invest in your business, or just believe in the idea. Early on, I hated rejection, avoided uncomfortable conversations, and thought I could just “build” without ever having to sell. But the truth is, sales is everything in business, in leadership, and life. The good news is that you can train yourself to love sales. I did. It’s uncomfortable at first. But once you build that muscle, everything else in life gets easier.

How to Make Better Decisions
04/20/2025
How to Make Better Decisions
In this video, I talk to Ryan Hawk about how decision-making is something you get better at by actually doing it, not just reading about it. I share how my dad let me make small, low-risk decisions as a kid, which helped me build that skill early. Now I’m doing the same with my own kids. We also touched on what I learned from college sports and how trying to protect people from every struggle they face can backfire over time. You can’t outsource judgment. You can’t simulate pressure. The only way to build that muscle is to make the call, see what happens, and learn from it. Most people are so afraid of being wrong that they never get enough experience to get good. But if you start when the stakes are low, you build real confidence over time.

Why Hiring Is A Lot Like Hunting
In this episode I talked to Ryan Hawk about how hiring is a lot like hunting. You’re not passively reviewing resumes, you are actively searching for top talent and trying to recruit them to your team. The hard truth is that most people are incompetent, and if you tolerate C-Players, eventually your A-players will leave. I also shared a story from a mentor of mine, Chris Powers, that changed how I make hiring and firing decisions.
