  • In this no-fluff, hard-hitting episode of Exit Rich, I sit down with tech entrepreneur and AI powerhouse Joel Stoli — and I’m telling you right now, this is one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had on this show. We dig deep into what it really takes to build a business someone actually wants to buy, how to stop leaving money on the table, and why AI is the biggest game-changer since electricity.

    Joel doesn’t just talk theory — this guy’s built, scaled, and exited companies for serious money. And after two days of him working with my team? I’m saying it now: best decision I’ve made in 2025.

    💥 You’ll hear:

    Why AI is today’s electricity (and how it’ll change everything faster than you think)The #1 thing holding most businesses back — and it’s not what you expectHow to avoid getting ripped off in deals by understanding incentivesWhat makes an irresistible offer in 2025 (hint: it’s all about results as a service)The dark side of search funds — and how they quietly destroy founders

    👉 What do you think is the biggest reason businesses fail to scale: bad offers, wrong mindset, or weak execution? Drop your thoughts below — let’s debate it.

  • You are NOT going to believe this story...

    Today, I'm sitting down with Mike Shelly Jr., and 18 months ago he was living a completely different life, Mike wasn’t even in the roofing business! Fresh out of college, stuck with a finance degree, drowning in student loans, and ZERO clue that his life was about to explode into a completely different stratosphere. Would he just follow the "safe" corporate path like others told him to? The answer is No!

    Fast forward to NOW... This Friday, Mike is officially becoming a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE! 💥How did it happen? Stay tuned to find out..

    We dig DEEP into:-Why college degrees aren't always the ticket to success anymore 🚫🎓-The reality of building a company (spoiler: it’s NOT all sunshine and rainbows) 🌪-The truth about stress, fights, and hard conversations behind the scenes 🥊-How loyalty, culture, and grit can change a family's legacy forever 💎-What it's REALLY like to partner with me — the good, the bad, and the brutal honesty 🔥-Why home services sales is one of the last TRUE goldmines left (and how much money you can actually make 💰)

    Mike opens up about life-changing moments, overcoming adversity after losing his brother, and what it feels like to finally have financial freedom he never thought possible. This episode isn't just about money — it’s about redemption, perseverance, family, and making the impossible possible.

    👉 If you think you’re stuck... If you’re wondering if the risk is worth it... If you want to know what it REALLY takes to build wealth... THIS episode is your wake-up call.

    Hit play NOW — because this story might just change the way you look at your entire life and don’t forget to leave a comment after and share your thoughts and what you’d like to see in future podcast episodes.

  • I’m going to be real with you—this episode is living proof of how powerful social media really is!I had never met Heather Hitchcock in person before this interview. I just kept seeing her pop up on my feed—boss energy, next-level branding, unstoppable faith, and a growing business that stood out in a MALE-dominated industry.

    So what did I do?

    I watched her for over a year before making contact. And when I finally did, I knew one thing: People NEED to hear this woman’s story! 🤯

    In this episode, we talk about:

    -Her raw and powerful journey from a jail to building a thriving company-How faith—not religion—was the turning point of her life-The reality of being a woman in roofing and how she handles it like a total BOSS babe!-Why she almost quit everything this month—and how she bounced back harder-The exact reason I believe the roofing industry needs a cultural reset—and how people like Heather are leading the charge!

    Whether you’re in roofing, construction, or just trying to scale your business with real leadership, this conversation is a must-listen.

    💥LIKE WHAT YOU’RE HEARING?💥 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO HEAR

  • Today, I sat down with my good friend and business partner, Michael Shelly, for a brutally honest, no-fluff conversation about what it really takes to scale, sell, and cash out big.Mike shares how he went from feeling stuck and the emotional struggles he battled wanting more for his family — thinking the window had closed — to waking up a millionaire! We get raw about the grind behind the scenes, the moments where it felt hopeless, and how real leadership isn’t about "handouts" — it’s about accountability.But let me be clear: this didn’t happen because I waved a magic wand. Check out to find out what REALLY happened and how this could happen to YOU too. 💥 I talk about firing top performers who didn’t want to evolve, 💥 How we built a company that grew to $25M in our first year, 💥 Why ServiceTitan was non-negotiable for scaling like maniacs, 💥 And the emotional moment when the noose of financial pressure was finally ripped off Mike’s neck.If you’ve ever doubted whether entrepreneurship can change your life forever... you need to hear this story.👉 We don't sell fairytales. We show you how it's really done.
