Every great investor starts with curiosity.

In Episode 105 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast, I sat down with Shane Seo, a successful entrepreneur and investor whose journey has taken him from building Taekwondo schools to scaling real estate, private equity, and an innovative hybrid film fund.

What I enjoyed most about this conversation wasn't just talking business. It was exploring the mindset behind long term success. We discussed mentorship, taking calculated risks, building multiple income streams, creating meaningful partnerships, and why the right people can accelerate your growth faster than trying to figure everything out alone.

One thing Shane said really stood out to me: "A good investor is always learning." I couldn't agree more.

If you're looking to think bigger about investing, entrepreneurship, and building lasting wealth, I think you'll get a lot of value from this episode 👉 Youtube

🎙️ Lightspeed Investing Podcast Episode 104 is now live with Nick Tietz, Founder of ILT Academy.

Nick and I had a great conversation about entrepreneurship, raising capital, building businesses that actually solve real problems, and why the founder is often the most important investment an investor makes.

What I appreciated most was Nick's commitment to helping what he calls "underestimated entrepreneurs." The people who may not come from Silicon Valley, may not have a million-dollar exit, but are serious about building something meaningful and creating real impact in their communities.

We also talked about the rapid evolution of AI and how entrepreneurs can use it as a practical tool inside their businesses, not as a replacement for human talent, but as a way to become more productive, efficient, and effective.

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, investor, or someone exploring how AI can help you grow your business, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation 👉 check out on LinkedIn

Just wrapped up my 3rd guest appearance on The MillionaireByMorning's Podcast with my guy Rashad Thirlkill. Always a great time having real conversations around business, futures & commodities, networking, personal branding, and where the world is heading with AI.

One of the biggest things I shared on this episode is this: if you are an entrepreneur, you need to start building your personal brand now. The next few years are going to change everything. AI will disrupt a lot of industries, but one thing nobody can replicate is YOU. Your story, your values, your experiences, your relationships, and the way you communicate all matter more than ever.

We also talked about why networking is still one of the highest ROI skills in business, why getting in the right rooms matters, and how awareness and adaptability are becoming the real competitive advantages moving into 2030.

Appreciate Rashad for having me back again. Looking forward to episode #4 already because May is packed with business trips, events, and new experiences to share.

Keep making moves, keep making money, and keep making meaningful memories. 🚀

Just wrapped up a great conversation on the ITUTv Podcast with Prof. Zae Holmes.

We covered a lot of ground, but it all came back to one thing. How people actually perform when pressure is real. I shared my transition from pursuing surgery into building in the markets, and how discipline from sports, medicine, and business all point back to execution. Not theory. Not motivation. Just what you consistently do when conditions are not perfect.

We also talked about something a lot of people miss. It is not just about what books you read, but how you apply them based on the stage of life you are in. Growth is not about collecting information. It is about applying the right principles at the right time, with honesty about where you currently are so you can actually move forward in the right direction.

At the end of the day, whether in trading, leadership, or life, structure matters. Systems matter. And being able to operate with discipline and clarity under pressure is what separates noise from real progress.

At Lightspeed Investing, we do not just teach trading. We build independent operators who understand risk, probability, and precision execution.

Just wrapped an incredible conversation on the Millionaire By Morning podcast with Rashad Thirlkill.

We got real about my journey from pre-med and pursuing surgery to stepping into the world of investing, what actually drives wealth creation, and why proximity, mentorship, and self-awareness matter more than most people think. We also talked about breaking out of the traditional career path, building skill sets that actually separate you from the crowd, and how to position yourself in rooms where real opportunities happen.

Just wrapped up my second conversation on The MillionaireByMorning's Podcast with Rashad Thirlkill.

Every time I get back on, it is less about "catching up" and more about sharing how fast things evolve when you stay in motion.

In this episode, we talked about what has been driving my recent growth, from building a new luxury assets division to the importance of getting in the right rooms, investing in yourself, and creating real leverage through relationships. At a certain point, it is not about balancing life and work anymore. It becomes about integrating everything into one aligned path.

One thing I emphasized is this. The world will always give you distractions. Markets, news, uncertainty. But when you are clear on your purpose and your trajectory, you stop reacting and start executing.

We also touched on what we are doing at Lightspeed Investing and how we approach the markets as doers first. If you want to see how we actually operate in real time, not just theory, that is something we take seriously.

If you are serious about building skill sets, creating leverage, and putting yourself in environments that force growth, this conversation is for you 🎙️ YouTube

Most people think marketing is about building a brand first.

John Dwyer sees it differently.

In Episode 103 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast, I sat down with John, founder of the Institute of Wow, to break down what actually drives results in today's market. From his early days studying consumer behavior at Woolworths to generating millions in revenue through simple but powerful campaigns, John shares how direct response marketing flips the traditional model. Instead of hoping people eventually trust your brand, you give them a reason to act now and let results build the brand for you.

We also talked about how the core principles haven't changed, only the speed of execution has. With the right idea, you can go from concept to cash flow faster than ever. The difference is not in the tools. It is in how you think.

If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, this one will challenge how you approach growth.

If you want to connect with John directly, you can reach him at john@theinstituteofwow.com or visit theinstituteofwow.com. He also shared a campaign you can study or even use yourself at leadscontest.com.

Episode 102 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and I had a great conversation with my good friend Pete Grimes joining me from Miami.

Pete shares how he went from a high-level marketing career to building a business around helping professionals turn their life's work into a book that actually opens doors. What stood out in this episode is how he reframes the idea of writing a book. It is not about royalties or selling copies, it is about positioning, credibility, and the opportunities that come from having your message clearly articulated and out in the world. We also get into how many successful people already have everything they need to create impact, they just do not know where to start, and how simplifying that process can unlock a whole new level of influence and fulfillment.

If you have ever thought about sharing your knowledge, building your personal brand, or creating something that lasts beyond your day to day work, this is a conversation worth listening to 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eJAM5ya9

Pete also shared a few free resources and tools to help you get started, including ways to validate your message and even build the foundation of your book quickly. Best place to connect with him is on LinkedIn, just clicked his name 'Pete Grimes' and you will find everything there.
