🎧 Part 2 is LIVE!

This week on Hack Yea!, Kim and I continue our powerful conversation with Andrew Stepper on how compounding isn’t just money — it’s momentum.

In this episode, we explore:
✅ Redefining wealth as freedom and purpose
✅ 5-minute habits that transform careers and finances
✅ Why “enough” isn’t a number, but a balance point

Andrew’s wisdom hit home for me: “Three years from now, you’ll wish you started today. So start now.”

Hacksters — this one’s a blueprint for building not just wealth, but worth.

🎧 New episode is live!
On today’s Hack Yea!, Kim and I sit down with my good friend (and finance whisperer) Andrew Stepper to talk about the cheat code that powers both money and life: compounding.

Able to interview someone who’s walked alongside me for 9+ years — a person I can proudly call a true friend, a wise guiding light, and a brother-like figure — made this episode incredibly special.

We cover:
✅ Money mistakes that turn into lessons
✅ How to double down on your strengths at work
✅ Why the smartest growth often comes from subtraction, not addition

Andrew put it best: “Focus on simplicity, because simplicity compounds — in money and work.”

If you’ve ever wondered how small steps today become massive leaps tomorrow, this is your episode.

In this episode, Kim and I dive into:
🔑 Why trust is not weakness, but strategy
🔑 How micromanagement kills morale (and retention)
🔑 Hacks you can apply today to give your team space AND accountability

One line I loved from our chat: “If I have to be the smartest person in every room, I’m in the wrong rooms.”

Give this one a listen and let us know—where could you trade a little control for a lot more trust?

🚨 New Hack Yea! Episode is LIVE 🚨

Today Kim and I explore what it really means to lead with humility in our latest episode: “Hierarchy to Humility.”

We’ve all seen how authority alone can stifle collaboration, silence voices, and chip away at trust. But leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about presence, empathy, and creating a culture where people feel safe to bring their best ideas forward.

In this episode, we break down three leadership hacks:
✅ Lead Like a Human First
✅ Make Space for Every Voice
✅ Create Safety, Not Just Strategy

This is one of those conversations that made me reflect deeply on my own leadership journey — and I think it will for you too.

✨ New episode dropping Thursday!

This week on HACK YeA!, Gary and I are diving into a topic that touches every workplace: moving from Hierarchy to Humility in leadership.
For too long, titles and org charts defined how people showed up at work. But the best leaders aren’t standing above their teams — they’re standing beside them.

In this conversation, we’ll share:
🔑 Why humility builds stronger trust than authority ever could
🔑 How leaders can create space for every voice
🔑 Why safety is just as critical as strategy

This one is just me and Gary — raw, real, and rooted in our own leadership journeys. 💡

🎙️ Episode drops this Thursday, 8/21 — follow along and let us know: What does humble leadership look like to you? In the meantime, check out www.hackyea.com and subscribe to our youtube channel. See you Thursday!

https://youtu.be/m5oHI_C_w4E?si=NWc8EoZtPmIAC_edWhat happens when presence meets purpose?

🔥 In Part 2 of our sit-down with my former mentor and rockstar exec Arti Lyde, we unlock what it really takes to lead at the helm — and bring people with you.

Arti doesn’t just talk about leadership — she lives it.
She’s been in rooms where bold ideas needed bold storytelling.
She’s been the “only” in the room and turned that into strength.
And she’s coached the next generation to do the same.

💥 This week’s drop is a masterclass in executive presence:
— Not louder. Just clearer.
— Not perfection. Just impact.
— Not shrinking. Just expanding space for others.
