Kalen Marie Cotto is an Army Veteran, a mom, and the founder of KMC Digital. She just wrote a book called The Revenue Runway — and she did not wait until she had it all figured out to write it. She wrote it while she was still building her client base, still raising her kids, and still figuring out digital marketing in real time.

We got into three things that matter if you are trying to start or grow something without a pile of money: how she tests ideas on a budget before going all in, what AI is actually doing to small business marketing right now and what you should do about it, and why she thinks most entrepreneurs quit on themselves before the market ever gets a vote.

Kalen talks like someone who is in the fight, not someone who already won it. That is exactly why this conversation is worth your time.

🟢 NEW EPISODE ALERT and this one matters deeply.

This week on The Decision Hour, I sat down with Matt Cahill, Army veteran, combat medic, and the founder of GREEN STAR Families of America. Matt's story will stop you in your tracks.
After facing his own mental health struggles post-service, Matt turned his pain into a mission creating the Green Star movement to honor the families who have lost loved ones to veteran su***de. We talked about the story behind the banner, the push for national recognition through HR6022, and what's already happening at the state level.

If you care about veterans, mental health, or the families who carry a grief most people never see, this episode is for you. 🎙️

Most people think Bitcoin is just about money. Hannah Pralle thinks it's about something much deeper and after this conversation, I do too. 💡

Hannah is a songwriter turned author, and her new book Rigs Are from Mars, Nodes Are from Venus is unlike anything I've read. We talked about how distorted monetary systems affect real people, what Bitcoin reveals about human nature and relationships, and why the analog and digital worlds actually need each other more than ever.

This episode is funny, thought-provoking, and genuinely different. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. 🎙️

🎙️ New episode is LIVE and this one hits differently.
I sat down with Navy veteran and UGC creator Trish Leto, and she brought the heat from start to finish. Trish went from maintaining CH-46 helicopters in the Navy to working in mortgage underwriting and then completely changed the game by building a career in user-generated content creation.

Here's what blew me away: you don't need a big following. You don't need fancy gear. You need the products already sitting on your shelf and the willingness to show up authentically.

Trish breaks it all down, how to build a portfolio, how to pitch brands, and how to get PAID for the content you're already creating in your everyday life. She also gets real about her sobriety journey and how decisive action changed everything for her.

This episode is equal parts business masterclass and personal inspiration. 🎯
