Interview with Steve Mckenna

Interview with Steve Mckenna, who is an entrepreneur who started working full-time in my family's business at 17.  He put myself through university on nights and weekends, and went on to build three companies to multi-million dollar revenues across B2B and B2C industries.
Steve has been recognized with multiple ABEX Awards for business and marketing excellence, served as President of the North American Floor Covering Distributors — an organization representing several billion in annual sales — and most recently generated over $100 million in active pipeline from scratch in under 120 days as a Fractional Sales Director.
Today he runs Grnded Agency, (pronounced Grounded Agency) where I help businesses solve the problem most entrepreneurs never crack: turning cold traffic into paying clients — predictably and at scale.

He has a quarter century of stories and experience to share and wants nothing more than to inspire, motivate and help people win while providing them with the best experience possible, not only in real estate, but more so in their lives.

Interview with Max Emma

Interview with Max Emma, is a Certified Franchise Executive with over two decades of hands-on experience in the franchise world. From providing bookkeeping services to over 100 franchise brands across the U.S. through BooXkeeping, to building his own bookkeeping franchise, to guiding aspiring entrepreneurs as a franchise consultant, Max is a seasoned expert in all things franchising.
His journey is anything but conventional. As an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, Max arrived in the U.S. over 32 years ago, barely speaking English. Through his own creative “know-how,” he mastered the language, graduated with honors, and climbed the ranks of corporate America—only to leave it all behind 23 years ago to follow his entrepreneurial calling.
Max’s path hasn’t always been smooth. After facing significant challenges, including bankruptcy, he rebuilt and now leads three thriving businesses, all rooted in franchising and entrepreneurship. His story resonates with resilience, reinvention, and the power of betting on yourself.

Interview with George Rivera

Interview with George Rivera, who helps 7, 8, and 9-figure founders buy back 10-20 hours a week and scale profits, without becoming the bottleneck. He’s the creator of the Father-First Owner OS and author of Buy Back Time Formula.
George watched his dad miss his games and later regret it, and he gave George one piece of advice: “Don’t miss Leo’s games.” After grinding through 80-hour weeks, George rebuilt his companies to run without the founder using three levers, people who own outcomes, systems that create consistency, and AI that multiplies efficiency... the core of his $10K/Hour Filter.
George shares how to end key-person dependency, delegate outcomes (not tasks), and pass the Two-Week Vacation Test, because no one on their deathbed says, “I’m glad I skipped my kid’s game for a client meeting.”
