"King Kongin" Mindset with Rizzo King Kongin
5d ago00:51:43Tap to summarizeYour name is a search result now, and your brand is either being built on purpose or built by accident. We talk with Rizzo “King Kongin”, a marketer and creator who turned a competitive personal energy into a brand and an energy drink, then sold the formulation while keeping the King Kongin identity as a long-term platform.We get into the real origin story: planking challenges, relentless repetition, and the decision to be everywhere with your message. Rizzo breaks down how Master P helped shape the blueprint, what it takes to earn access to rooms with major celebrities, and why “opportunity” is more like a box of puzzle pieces than a finished picture. If you care about entrepreneurial mindset, product marketing, and personal branding, this conversation stays grounded in action and consequences.Then we go where most people avoid: partnerships. We talk about how deals go sideways when roles, budgets, and expectations are not clear from day one. From there, we zoom into AI search, Gemini, YouTube, and short-form video tools, plus the practical reality that AI models learn your reputation from what you publish. If you want to control the narrative around your business, real estate brand, or athlete profile, this is the playbook.Subscribe, share this with someone building a brand, and leave a review with the one idea you want people to associate with your name. ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

Empty Your Backpack with Sam Demma
2w ago00:53:18Tap to summarizeOne torn-up knee can change a whole life, but only if you’re willing to look for the lesson instead of the loss. Sam Demma, Author of Empty Your Backpack, joins us to share how a serious soccer setback became the starting point for a decade of keynote speaking, service, and storytelling built on one principle: small, consistent actions.We dig into the moments that shaped Sam’s message, from picking up trash as a first “small action,” to a flight attendant who turned a paper cup into a phone stand just to help a stranger. That tiny act of kindness turned into a viral story with real-world impact, reminding us that the best leadership skills are often quiet, human, and repeatable. Sam also tells the pandemic-era “Be Someone’s Taco” story, a simple food delivery that became a symbol of hope, a kids book, and a surprising ripple effect in schools.Along the way, we talk practical tools for communication and personal growth: how to capture story moments in real time, why using someone’s name changes the entire tone of an interaction, and the “spilled coffee theory” for what comes out of us when life bumps us. We also get into what Sam sees in students today, especially fear of judgment and the need for someone to go first, plus what it looks like to build a team and buy back your time without losing the joy.Subscribe for more real conversations, share this with someone who needs a spark, and leave a review with your favorite story from Sam’s journey. ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

Co-Buying Can Get You Into Homeownership Faster
3w ago00:25:23Tap to summarizeOUR GUEST THIS WEEK IS: Pete Heim, Realtor One in three buyers may be teaming up to buy a home, and that single stat raises a huge question: is co-buying the future of homeownership, or a shortcut that can blow up later? We dig into what co-buying actually means (non-married co-borrowers, friends, relatives, and partners), why it’s rising, and how it can turn rent money into a real estate investment when affordability is tight and inventory is thin.We also zoom out to what the 2026 housing market looks like beyond the headlines. We talk through National Association of Realtors data on home prices across metro areas, why interest rate shifts ripple through demand, and how the Northeast continues to surprise with pockets that stay competitive. Then we get specific about what we’re seeing in places like Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland: new construction popping up, retirees rethinking where they land, and the real draw of lower taxes and no sales tax.From there, we move into practical buyer strategy. We explain why a fully underwritten approval can beat a basic pre-approval, how offering a short post-settlement occupancy to the seller can make a financed offer feel less stressful, and why targeting listings that have been sitting for 20+ days can be a smarter path than chasing the hottest house on day one. We also unpack the wild equity story: homeowners are sitting on about $11 trillion in tappable home equity, and only a small slice has been accessed, which helps explain how some buyers compete like cash.If you want a clearer read on housing inventory, co-buying risk, cash buyer pressure, and real tactics that can win in a competitive market, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s trying to buy, and leave us a review with your biggest homebuying question. ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

Surviving The Unthinkable with John Ulsh
4w ago01:00:29Tap to summarizeA family drives home from a swim meet thinking about Christmas plans and seconds later everything is unrecognizable. Our guest, John Ulsh, walks us through the head-on collision that nearly killed him and his entire family, the other driver’s death, and the recovery that followed: massive internal injuries, an induced coma, a nursing home stay, paralysis, and a long list of surgeries that kept coming for years.We also talk about the parts people don’t see when they hear a “survival story” headline: survivor’s guilt, chronic pain, the loneliness of nighttime in a facility, and the moment hope feels like it disappears. John shares a near-death experience he still can’t fully explain, then gets painfully honest about what finally helped him move forward, including a simple reason he could actually believe and a willingness to rebuild his identity instead of chasing his old life.One of the biggest pivots comes when his daughter tells him she misses her “old daddy.” That pushes John to take ownership of his rehab, find a new kind of training, and learn a powerful mindset shift: there is pain you can’t control and pain you can control, and controlled pain can become progress. From there, we get into resilience, self-advocacy in healthcare, why he’s fired doctors, how he built a personal “board of directors,” and the lessons behind his book The Upside of Down: A Survivor’s Guide to Turning Setbacks into Success.If you care about overcoming adversity, trauma recovery, chronic pain mindset, resilience training, and turning setbacks into fuel, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation.

Time Is The Only Currency You Spend Blindly - Mitchell Osmond
Apr 3000:42:34Tap to summarizeWe sit down with Mitchell Osmond of the Dad Nation Podcast and get brutally honest about what it means to be a present dad in a noisy world, where work, phones, and stress quietly steal the only thing we can’t earn back: time.We talk about the stats that reframe everything: how fast your time with your kids drops as they grow, and why that “one focused hour” each day can shape a child’s confidence for life. Mitchell breaks down the two questions kids ask under the surface, “Am I enough?” and “Do I have what it takes?” and how a father’s encouragement, belief, and consistent presence can keep them from searching for worth in all the wrong places. We also get into the father-daughter dynamic, including how the way we treat our wives becomes the blueprint our daughters normalize.Then we zoom out to marriage and communication, because strong families are built on strong partnerships. Mitchell shares a clear framework for what wives often need to feel secure: seen, heard, and safe, along with simple active listening tools that lower defensiveness and rebuild connection. We also unpack emotional disconnection, the quiet drift that damages relationships long before any big blowup.If you want actionable fatherhood advice, practical marriage help, and a reset on what matters most, this conversation is for you.

RadarQR For Real-World Dating with Less Creeps
Apr 2300:36:19Tap to summarizeSwiping has trained us to judge people like trading cards, then wonder why dating feels hollow. Brad sits down with Amberlei Ann Oates, the Founder and CEO of RadarQR, to talk about a bold alternative: build connection where chemistry actually lives, face to face, in public, with better tools to break the ice.Amberlei shares how being single in San Francisco pushed her to “flip the script” on modern online dating. Instead of spending hours swiping just to earn a first meeting, RadarQR helps you meet in the real world first and use a QR code profile to bridge the awkward moment safely. We get into why rejection fear holds so many people back, why men often feel frozen about approaching, and how authenticity shows up in the details a photo cannot capture like voice, humor, kindness, and the way you treat others.We also dig into how the app works: QR cards you can hand out, profiles with photos and videos, and a hotspot map where you can choose to check in and see who else is open to meeting people nearby. That opt-in visibility matters, because Amber brings a military intelligence lens to privacy and safety, explaining why sharing phone numbers or social accounts can expose far more personal information than most people realize. The conversation expands beyond dating into friendships, community, and networking at conferences, plus how local hotspots can benefit from real foot traffic instead of more screen time.If you want a dating app alternative that prioritizes real-world connection, safer social discovery, and mental health, you’ll want to hear this. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tired of swiping, and leave a review with your take: should meeting in person be the default again? ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

Transcribe →What Would the Rockefellers Do with Garrett Gunderson
Apr 1600:33:41Tap to summarizeMost money advice tells you to grind harder, save more, and wait. We don’t buy it. Brad sits down with author and entrepreneur finance expert Garrett Gunderson to talk about a different target: financial independence, where cash flow covers your life and work becomes optional. Along the way, we get real about the cost of living on “someday,” and why building wealth should improve your quality of life now, not just your net worth later.Garrett shares what he learned studying generational wealth and the Rockefeller strategy, including the practical moves families can borrow even without billionaire money: trusts that carry instructions, life insurance used for liquidity and tax-efficient legacy planning, and a modern version of a family office where advisors actually coordinate. We also dig into the human side of wealth, like investing in heirs through family retreats, building shared rituals, and writing a family constitution in your own words so values travel with the assets. (I LOVE THIS)Then we take on retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, and the hidden drains Garrett calls the Four I’s: IRS, interest, investments, and insurance. The GE pension story is a sharp lesson in stability, sequence-of-returns risk, and what happens when greed replaces good structure. We also talk “investor DNA,” why taking bigger risks isn’t the same as getting better returns, and why investing in yourself is often the highest ROI move you can make. (key take away)If you’ve ever wondered how to create generational wealth, protect your assets, and still enjoy the life you’re building, this conversation gives you a clear starting point.

Transcribe →NFL Player to Hand Written Notes with Rick Elmore
Apr 900:30:49Tap to summarizeOUR Guest this Week: Rick Elmore *We apologize for the sound quality with this weeks guest*You know that split-second reaction when you spot a handwritten envelope in a pile of junk mail and bills? We’re chasing that moment of attention and what it means for modern marketing with Rick Elmore, former NFL defensive end and the founder and CEO of Simply Noted.Rick walks us through the real economics of the NFL, why “not for long” is more than a joke, and how an identity crisis after football pushed him into sales, an MBA, and eventually entrepreneurship. The turning point is surprisingly simple: handwritten notes get opened, remembered, and trusted, but almost nobody has the time to write them at scale. So Rick tested the idea, proved the response, then built the infrastructure to make it real, including custom handwriting robots that put actual pen on paper.We also get practical about scaling a self-funded business: production capacity, engineering costs, and the painful lesson that what gets you to a few million in revenue will not get you to the next level. Then we go full modern with direct mail tracking, QR code attribution, and Rick’s bullish take on AI for small business, including how he runs AI SDRs to book meetings. The big takeaway: as AI increases distance, relationship marketing and trust signals like handwritten mail become even more valuable.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the show with a friend who builds relationships for a living, and leave a review if you want more founder deep-dives.

The Shot That Changed Everything with Kris Jenkins
Apr 300:30:37Tap to summarizeOne shot can freeze time and then speed your whole life up. Kris Jenkins, the Villanova guard who buried the legendary 4.7-second buzzer beater to win the 2016 national championship, joins us for a real, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what that moment felt like and why it wasn’t luck. We talk about the game’s momentum swings, the pressure of the last possession, and the instant he knew the ball was going in because the “work was already done.”From there, we zoom out to the part people forget: what happens after the highlight goes viral. Kris shares how quickly the fame hit, what it’s like waking up to major media attention, and how he kept his friendships and mindset steady when the world suddenly wanted photos and autographs. We also get into a wild layer of the story, facing his brother on the opposite side of the championship game, and how that changes the emotional weight of winning and losing.Kris also brings his perspective into today’s college sports reality, including NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). We unpack why athletes deserve to be paid, why the system can still go too far without guardrails, and why financial literacy and long-term thinking matter when money shows up early. He shares how he now uses these lessons in public speaking for athletes and organizations, focusing on leadership, dominant teams, finding your role, and meeting your moment.

You Can Build A Brand With One Great Conversation
Apr 200:36:41Tap to summarizeOur Guest This WEEK: Jeremy SchreifelsMost people don’t fail at podcasting because they lack talent, they fail because they pick the wrong topic and they can’t stay consistent long enough for trust to compound. That’s why this conversation with Jeremy Schreifels hit so hard for us. Jeremy is the executive producer and founder of Box Seven Media, and he brings a musician’s ear to podcast production, audiobook creation, and video content that actually connects.We get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting trends like video podcasting and why recording on a platform like Riverside gives you options later. Jeremy breaks down why a single strong episode can fuel your podcast marketing system with 35 to 40 pieces of repurposed content, something you simply can’t squeeze out of one blog post or one social post. We also talk about the real reason shows fade out after episode 8 and again after episode 21, and how passion and curiosity are the only sustainable fix.Then we go deep on audiobooks: why they’re life-changing for people who don’t love reading, why author-read audiobooks carry more emotion, and how listening at 1.2x speed can keep your attention locked in. Jeremy also shares a smart creator move: add bonus audio that never appears in print. We wrap with leadership ideas we keep thinking about, from “change your questions, change your growth” to the “peeps in your Jeep” lesson on surrounding yourself with the right people, plus Jeremy’s push for true royalty-free theme music so creators don’t get flagged.Subscribe for more real conversations, share this with a friend who’s thinking about starting a podcast, and leave a review if it helped.
