In this episode of Lead Empowered TV, we sit down with veteran finance executive Jeff Glick, who brings over 30 years of experience across hedge funds, private equity, SPACs, family offices, and high-growth ventures. Jeff has seen it all—from early-stage startups to global investment platforms—and he shares a candid look at one of the most overlooked drivers of business value: financial structure. Too often, companies focus on growth while neglecting the internal systems, controls, and policies that ultimately determine how investors and acquirers value them. We explore why strong companies still end up being undervalued, what separates well-run organizations from those that struggle under pressure, and how founders can build financial teams that do more than “report the numbers”—they actively shape strategy and growth. Jeff also shares practical insights from his career in helping companies scale, raise capital, and prepare for successful exits, including the habits and leadership decisions that consistently show up in the most investable businesses. If you’re a founder, operator, or executive looking to strengthen your financial foundation and unlock long-term value, this conversation delivers a clear message: sustainable growth isn’t just about top-line revenue—it’s about discipline, structure, and the systems you build behind the scenes.

Are you tired of mainstream business advice telling you to simply "change your mindset" to find success? In this exclusive session, Angela Skurtu—host of the AASECT.org award-winning show Open Bedroom Doors —reveals why running a thriving enterprise requires a far more holistic approach. Drawing from over 20 years of experience guiding clients through some of the most taboo, terrifying, and complex facets of human psychology as a sex therapist , Angela bridges the gap between human biology and corporate strategy. She explains how our nervous systems, interpersonal relationship dynamics, and personal identities directly dictate how we perform as CEOs and business owners.

Angela breaks down her comprehensive, systemic Built to Last business model. Structured around the practical framework of test it, do it, prove it, own it, and leave it, the model addresses five essential dimensions of a healthy business:

Mind (Test It): Shifting internal perspectives to practice self-kindness while intentionally building a resilient skillset to test new ideas, navigate failures, and bounce back rapidly from mistakes.

Body (Do It): Learning to recognize physical body cues and actively manage your nervous system's instinctual fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses when confronted with business stress, shifting systems, or imminent burnout.

Heart (Own It): Mastering human relationships by learning how to properly market, sell, and hire across four core corporate personality types: the highly structured Compliance Captain, the people-pleasing Silent Avoider, the doubt-leading Skeptical Firewall, and the highly creative Shiny Object Sprinter.

Soul (Own It): Developing a definitive, three-page brand document that clarifies your unique "People, Purpose, and Principles". This document establishes your tagline, positioning statement, and goals, serving as a vital guiding light to help you see the long game during tough operational setbacks.

Spirit (Leave It): Transforming your operational framework into a sustainable business legacy that grows entirely beyond you through intellectual property, asset protection, and leadership mentoring.

Emotional strength is not about controlling what you feel, it’s about not letting what you feel control who you become!" by Sanet Van Breda

Emotional strength is one of the most underestimated forms of power. It’s not about avoiding emotions or pretending everything is fine. It’s about facing what you feel without losing control, without reacting impulsively, and without allowing temporary emotions to dictate permanent decisions.

Most people are not held back by circumstances, they are held back by how they respond to them. Stress, frustration, fear, and doubt are part of life. The difference is in how you handle them. Emotional strength is built in the moments no one sees. When you choose to pause instead of react. When you stay grounded instead of overwhelmed. When you take responsibility instead of placing blame.

This is where maturity lives. This is where leadership is formed. Because when you learn to manage your inner world, you stop being controlled by it and that’s when your outer world begins to shift.

This week on Crunching Your Growth, Phil Masiello sits down with Thom Hill, founder of Iron & Resin, to talk about what it really means to build a brand with grit, authenticity, and staying power.

Thom’s entrepreneurial story is anything but ordinary. From buying a small screen-printing shop with all the money he had after a chance sidewalk encounter, to building multiple apparel brands distributed in thousands of retailers nationwide, Thom created businesses rooted in surf, moto, adventure, and a deep belief in quality over hype.

But the road was far from smooth.

After personal and business upheaval led to the closure of multiple brands and the loss of nearly everything he had built, Thom was left with one key asset: the intellectual property for Iron & Resin. From that foundation, he rebuilt the brand with purpose — and has grown it steadily since relaunching.

In this episode, Phil and Thom discuss brand building through lived experience, why quality and durability still matter in a disposable world, what founders can learn from setbacks, and how resilience can become one of the most valuable assets in business.

This is a powerful conversation for entrepreneurs, brand builders, and anyone who understands that real growth is rarely a straight line.

This week on Crunching Your Growth, Phil Masiello sits down with Michael Monaghan, Partner and Portfolio Manager at the Founders 100 ETF (FFF), to talk about what makes founder-led companies different — and why that difference matters to investors, operators, and entrepreneurs alike.

With more than 20 years of experience spanning Goldman Sachs, Sanford Bernstein, UBS, private equity, and his own run as founder and CEO of a defense technology company, Michael brings a rare perspective from both Wall Street and the founder trenches. In this conversation, he shares how his entrepreneurial journey shaped his investment philosophy, why founder-led businesses tend to outperform, and what separates visionary builders from traditional hired executives.

Phil and Michael also explore innovation, capital markets, long-term value creation, and why the companies still led by their original founders may hold a unique edge in today’s economy. It’s a sharp conversation for founders, investors, and anyone interested in what really drives enduring growth.

Join Jeff & Michal discuss our identity as either darkness or light as we explore what God is and what we are. Can expansion of consciousness really be as simple as Listening, Receiving and Grounding? Is German New Medicine, while revolutionary to leaving survival-mode, actually a low-consciousness system? Is there something much higher that God is bringing us to realize, beyond a deeply embedded victim program running in our DNA? Discuss this and more on this crazy episode!

Michal had a long and painful journey with chronic illnesses. Doctors described her as a “mystery” and were unable to identify what was going on with her for years. Like so many, she had to fight for proper testing and even then she still felt that something was missing.

Eventually, she found out that she had autoimmune and genetic disorders and began her journey of “managing” her symptoms through diet, lifestyle, and other holistic methods. In order to feel even remotely normal, she could eat very few foods, take many supplements every day, and avoid all of her triggers.

What did this look like for her? It meant living with a water purifier, air purifier, all non-toxic products, and holding her breath when exposed to scents or perfumes. She required weekly chiropractic and massage appointments. She had tons of products, modalities, and methods for symptom management.

It took years before Michal realized that this obviously meant she was still UNHEALTHY!

Healthy people don’t have to do all this to manage symptoms. Alongside a trusted mentor, and through her own journey from bedridden with autoimmune, genetic, and environmental illnesses to fully healthy (with no need for restrictive diets, supplements or ongoing therapies!), Michal developed a passion for teaching others to do the same.

With over 14 years of personal experience, Michal leads a team of functional medicine and holistic practitioners that believe in finding and addressing the root cause of the problem, rather than providing band-aid approaches and protocols. Using a breakthrough approach centered around nervous system regulation, Chronic Illness Solution specializes in helping those with autoimmune, genetic, and pain disorders.

Michal is now an international speaker and trains other practitioners in various healing modalities.

If you’re still waiting for confidence to show up before you execute, you’re already losing. The world’s laziest advice tells you to “just be more confident”—but that’s pure fantasy. Real confidence is earned the hard way: with relentless practice, disciplined self-awareness, and the courage to seek and absorb feedback, even when it hurts.

Total Disruption is hosted by Dr. Jake Clendenning and Michael Libercci—two high-level operators who don’t believe in sugarcoating the truth. This episode pulls apart false narratives about confidence, growth, and high-performance communication, with no room for excuses.

Confidence is not an ingredient you can buy, summon, or fake. It is forged in the crucible of disciplined practice and sharpened by high-quality feedback.

Dr. Clendenning and Michael Libercci dismantle the myth that confidence is a feeling you wait to have, revealing that the only way to build it is through repetition, preparation, and deliberate exposure to real-world situations—no shortcuts, no magic formulas.

The core argument: Every moment—on stage, in a meeting, even in daily life—is a stage. Someone is always watching, and how you show up is your “interview” every single time. Growth requires seeking out uncomfortable feedback, refusing the cheap comfort of affirmation, and committing to genuine self-evolution.
Confidence grows in the aftermath of action and feedback, not in the waiting room of intention.

KEY INSIGHTS
• Feedback is love, not criticism: High performers understand that feedback is not a threat—it’s the single greatest lever for growth. The quickest way to stay average is to avoid critique.
• “Just be confident” is lazy coaching: Telling someone to “just have more confidence” is as useless as it gets. Growth comes from training, repetition, and deliberate practice—not wishful thinking.
• Every space is a stage: Whether you’re an athlete, leader, or introvert, you’re always on display. Your presence and actions are always an audition for your next opportunity.
• Internal roleplay is unreliable: Rehearsing scenarios in your head locks you in a one-sided narrative. Use tools and frameworks that simulate real opposition, not an echo chamber.
• Action is the prerequisite to confidence: Only those willing to execute, reflect, and adapt will ever cross the threshold from insecurity to unstoppable.
• Emotional alignment controls outcomes: You set the tone for every conversation or negotiation. Arriving in a state of curiosity and mutual respect unlocks results; showing up triggered or defensive guarantees failure.
