What a massive episode. 🎙️🔥

I just wrapped up the podcast with Justin Neely, and I am absolutely blown away by his journey, his resilience, and his elite mindset.

We covered it all: his sheer domination from the 8th grade through high school, the devastating ACL injury that sidelined him for two years, and the relentless daily grind it took to recover and get back to top form. Justin’s resume speaks for itself:
🏀 Freshman of the Year at Albany
🏀 6th Man of the Year at UNC Greensboro
🏀 Now heading to Colorado to win it all his final year

But here are the two biggest takeaways from our conversation that completely shifted my perspective:

1️⃣ College Sports = Professional Sports. The amount of money flowing through D1 basketball right now is staggering. We discussed how top-tier college hoops is essentially a professional league at this point.

2️⃣ Soccer in the U.S. is missing our best athletes. Justin played Varsity soccer for exactly ONE year in high school—and led his team to a state championship. It proves my point entirely: if America’s elite, explosive athletes chose the pitch instead of the hardwood, we would completely dominate the world stage.

This is an absolute must-listen episode. Stay tuned for the official drop date! 🎧

So I have several more reels I will be sharing on Eva Diaz’s amazing episode, but I need to be completely transparent about why I do this. 🎙️💯

I started The Grind and The Glory with one mission: to give people a platform to tell their story, share their hustle, and grow their brand. I don’t do this for me. I do this to help open doors for others.

But let’s keep it real: producing a high-level podcast takes a massive amount of time, my own money, and effort from an entire team. When guests cancel last minute or don’t respect the process, it’s a slap in the face to everyone involved.

If I invite you on the show, it'’ because I see value in your story and want to share it with the world. All I ask is that you respect the time. Everyone I have had on the show has been amazing.

But there are some that have zero respect for what I do unfortunately. I won’t say names but it is what it is.

(And hey, if I'm spending 30,000 years in purgatory like I said, at least I can tell the big guy I tried to serve others while I was here! 🤣)

Episode 14 is officially in the books, and it is an absolute masterclass on the Miami aesthetics industry. 🎙️💉

I sat down with Eva Diaz, APRN of Aquamarine Med Aesthetics (Botox | Sculptra | Radiesse | Med Spa 🪬), to pull back the curtain on what it takes to build a thriving practice in one of the most competitive markets in the world.

We didn’t hold back on this one. We broke down:
🔹 The actual medical difference between Botox and fillers
🔹 Some hilarious truths about what happens when clients go overboard
🔹 The transparent reality of pricing and how the business operates

Huge shoutout to Eva for dropping pure value, and to her Social Media Content Manager, Fabiola, for coming through the studio to watch the process!
