In this episode, I sit down with Matt Ragland to talk about the ideas behind my new book and why I believe most people have been sold the wrong vision of entrepreneurship. We discuss the difference between flashy startup culture and building real wealth through practical businesses, why sales is one of the most important skills you'll ever develop, and how confidence can be a greater advantage than intelligence.

We also dive into delegation, hiring internationally, and how entrepreneurs can create leverage without taking on massive risk. Matt shares his experience building a digital business, and we explore why trading your time for money is often the fastest path to getting started before scaling into something bigger.

Later, we talk about fear setting, decision making, writing a book, building a life around your values, and the importance of taking action before you feel ready. Whether you're starting your first business, growing a service company, or looking for a more practical approach to entrepreneurship, this conversation is packed with lessons from the trenches.
