What if “word is bond” was the operating system for your love life, leadership and legacy? We dive into a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about building families with intention, founding companies without shortcuts, and protecting your peace while you do both. From the South Bronx to boardrooms, our guest unpacks why he won’t have another child before marriage, how age gaps shape values, and why he refuses to force relationships with a partner’s kids—yet still shows up as a long‑term “bonus” dad when the bond is real.
We pull back the curtain on the CEO myth. There’s a world of difference between a hired executive inheriting systems and a founder who starts with none and wears every hat. Expect real talk about quitting high six‑figure roles, investing life savings into a mission, and drawing hard lines around contracts, releases and NDAs to protect intellectual property and sanity. Integrity isn’t a slogan here; it’s pricing you honour, scope you deliver and deals you walk away from when terms shift. That’s how you build a brand people trust.
We also get personal about pressure and mental health. Burnout never disappears; it moves. The gym becomes medicine, therapy becomes a goal, and self‑knowledge turns into better matches in life and work. Success gets redefined as time‑rich and health‑first: consolidating five ventures into one, prioritising community, and carving out space to fish, laugh and live. Along the way we celebrate the quiet power of consistency—how showing up, even when no one comments, sets standards others adopt in their homes and companies.
If you’re navigating love in your 30s and 40s, leading as a founder, or debating a risky leap that looks reckless to everyone else, this conversation will give you clarity, courage and a compass.
