Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with business broker, entrepreneur, and What’s Your Deal? host Matt Uhler for a conversation about faith, accountability, coaching, and the habits that shape a meaningful life. We talk about the difference between mentors, teachers, and coaches, why non-negotiable time changed my perspective on health and family, and how fear and uncertainty interfere with our energy and decision-making. I also share lessons from losing over $100 million, rebuilding my life with faith, and creating a mission centered around helping others make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun. Along the way, we unpack discipline, sleep, consistency, and the importance of stopping before reacting.

with you, it's a blessing. So thanks for taking the time to do this.

Absolutely. It's an honor. And one of the things, you know, the title of my podcast is what's your deal. And a lot of times that's business and buying and selling and all of that, which you've done an enormous amount of. But the other thing as I've gotten to know that I appreciate so much, is just the guy behind the name.

0:56.3

And the human element that you bring to what you do is just something I really, I want to pour more into for people to understand.

1:04.5

Well, I appreciate that.

bumps and bruises about humility along the way. It was a lot more than just making a lot of money.

1:17.1

I had to also combine this idea of helping a lot of people. I've always had fun. It's just

1:22.4

what kind of fun am I having today? It's much more healthy than the fun I was having in the past.

1:27.5

Well, every time I've seen you, you are having fun and spreading the joy, honestly.
