14 - How Caleb Katz Turned Athletic Discipline into Entrepreneurial Drive 27:06

11 days ago27:06

27:06

“Fear disappears after the first step. Doubt? That lingers every day — and that’s where the real battle begins.” – Caleb Katz Built for the Court What happens when a former college athlete decides to build something off the field — in a space where the rules aren’t clear and the pressure never lets up? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Caleb Katz, a Midwest-based attorney and business owner, who went from chasing football wins to building a growing law firm from scratch. We talk about what made him take the leap, and why doubt was louder after the jump — not before. Fear Ends, But Doubt Sticks Around Caleb shares something that hit deep — fear only lasts for a moment, but doubt is what keeps showing up every day after you make the leap. Whether you're starting your own firm, launching a side hustle, or still dreaming about escaping your 9-5, what Caleb reveals about self-belief, discipline, and decision-making will make you question the way you handle your own doubt. The Grind You Don't Post About This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real story of what it means to run a business when no one’s calling, when the bills are due, and the pressure’s all on you. Caleb breaks down the myth of overnight success and reveals how he keeps showing up — even on the slow days. If you’ve been wondering what the day-to-day really looks like for a young entrepreneur, don’t miss this part. What Staying In Your Lane Really Looks Like There’s power in picking your lane and mastering it. Caleb shares how he focused in on a niche area of law, scaled slowly, and built systems that support his growth. If you’ve been juggling too many ideas, his story might be the nudge you need to simplify and go deep, not wide.

“We lost everything… but we didn’t lose each other, and we didn’t lose our faith.” A Dream Built On Faith Mike and Carmen Kosychek didn’t set out to build an empire—they just wanted enough to buy back time with their kids. One rental property, one goal. But what started as a simple plan quickly spiraled into a high-stakes journey through real estate, radical choices like homeschooling, and a complete life upheaval most people would never see coming. The Crash And the Courtroom When the economy crashed, everything crumbled. Tenants stopped paying, the market flipped, and they faced foreclosure and bankruptcy—all while trying to do the “right” thing. They brought their kids to court, not out of desperation, but to teach them what resilience really looks like. This isn’t a story about failure—it’s about what happens when you lose everything and still keep going . What They Lost, and What They Found If you've ever wondered what it feels like to start from zero again—this episode gives you that raw, real perspective. Mike and Carmen share what no one likes to talk about: shame, guilt, and being left out of every system meant to help. But what they found on the other side? It's the kind of hope you didn’t know you needed. If the information in these episodes have helped you in your business journey, please subscribe to the show and leave an honest review.

12 - The Devil's Two Biggest D's 10:42

6 weeks ago10:42

“The devil lurks behind the door of your doubt, just waiting to throw you off tune.” Wrapping Up a Season of Resilience Welcome to the final episode of this season of Built for the Cold. It’s been a season of real talk — diving into death, disease, disappointment, demotion — the heavy hitters that test our resilience. And now we close with two of the most dangerous forces working against us: doubt and drifting. My goal today is to challenge you, encourage you, and help you walk away with the fire to face them head-on. If you’ve made it through this season with me, you’re not just a listener — you’re part of the Built for the Cold family. The Battle with Doubt Doubt has a way of showing up right when things are going well. You could be crushing it in your work, feeling strong in your relationships, or finally stepping into your purpose — and then comes that quiet whisper: “Are you sure you’re good enough? Do you really deserve this?” That’s not just ordinary insecurity, that’s a spiritual attack. I shared in this episode a moment from an Elevation Worship concert where Pastor Steven Furtick used a guitar as a powerful metaphor — the devil doesn’t smash your instrument, he just detunes it. And when your heart is out of tune, you start living out of rhythm with who you are. That’s why tuning your heart to the right source — God, the universe, or your highest calling — is everything, because when you’re aligned, doubt loses its grip. The Trap of Drifting Drifting is just as dangerous, maybe even more, because it works so quietly. It’s when you slip into autopilot, letting the days blur together with no clear intention. You start going wherever life pushes you, without really checking if you’re living on purpose. Weeks turn into years, and one day you look up and wonder, “How did I end up here?” I’ve watched it happen over and over — talented, driven people lose focus because they let small distractions pile up. Drifting pulls you further and further from the life you were designed to live. An Invitation to Take Action This is why you have to stay armored up. Not just with grit or willpower, but with spiritual alignment. Whether it’s prayer, faith, community, or something that connects you to your purpose, you need to keep your heart in tune. The devil doesn’t need to take you out in one blow — he works through a thousand tiny cuts of doubt, fear, and distraction. Guard your heart, remember your identity, and refuse to go it alone. As we close out this season, here’s my challenge to you: have the courage to reach out. If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t wait. Invite them to coffee, check in, and start a conversation. Healing and breakthrough often start when we’re willing to open up. Let’s be the kind of people who refuse to play the victim and instead rise up stronger.

11- Drugs and Vices 9:54

8 weeks ago9:54

9:54

"Sometimes the drugs in your life aren’t alcohol or substances — they're anything that pulls you from your purpose." When the Drugs Aren’t What You Expect In this episode of Built for the Cold , I dig into the not-so-obvious vices that can pull us off course. It's not always alcohol, weed, or harder substances. Sometimes it’s TV shows, video games, people-pleasing, betting, even the gym. Anything that keeps you from your God-given purpose is a drug you’ve got to recognize before it owns you. Facing My Own Distractions I open up about my own struggles—how materialism, sports obsession, and even fitness once became my escape from facing deeper emotional pain. Recently, I felt called to give up watching sports completely, and it’s been wild how much more energy, peace, and clarity I’ve experienced since. True purpose demands space—and sometimes silence—for God to speak. Living on Purpose, Not on Numb The devil’s goal is to numb you through distractions. But real strength comes from facing life head-on, not running from it. If you’ve been caught in a vice, there's a bigger life waiting for you on the other side of letting it go. Don't numb yourself. Wake up. Step into your calling. If the information in these episodes have helped you in your business journey, please subscribe to the show and leave an honest review.

10 - The Harsh Reality of Divorce 26:09

26:09

"When two people start to not be on the same path, it’s death by a thousand cuts." Opening the Door to a Hard Conversation This episode is one of the hardest I've ever recorded. After 11 years together, my wife and I have made the decision to divorce. It’s painful, it’s messy, and it’s real. I’m not here to place blame—only to share my side of the journey and how resilience is built in the coldest moments of life. When Paths No Longer Align Divorce doesn’t happen overnight. It’s small cracks over time, a slow drifting apart. We fought for it, extended grace to each other, but at the end of the day, we realized we were on two very different paths. Staying together would have been forcing something that wasn’t meant to be. Honoring the Good We Shared T is still one of the kindest, most beautiful souls I've ever known. She showed up for my family and for me in ways I'll never forget. Our years together mattered—and nothing about our separation changes that truth. Built for the Cold This podcast is about being real with life’s toughest seasons. Divorce is one of the coldest. But resilience isn’t born from comfort—it’s built in the hard places.

“You don’t have to be okay all the time—but don’t give up.” - Joe Wanner When It All Feels Like Too Much I’ve had more than one moment in life where everything felt like too much. The pressure, the rejection, the pain—it piled up. And there were times where I really thought about ending it. I didn’t see a way forward. The weight of it all was just that heavy. The first time I felt that low was at 17. I had just gotten cut from basketball, was struggling at home, and felt completely alone. I walked out along the road thinking, “Would anyone even notice if I was gone?” Then, out of nowhere, I got a text from a friend saying she loved me and so many others did too. That message pulled me back. Literally saved my life. It Doesn’t Just Go Away It happened again in college. Family losses, breakups, financial stress—it all hit hard. I kept performing, kept showing up, but inside I was numb. I didn’t even process it until years later when I finally sat down with a therapist. What kept me going? One or two people who reminded me I wasn’t alone. Keep Showing Up I’m not a therapist. I can’t give clinical advice. But I’ve been through it. And I’m still here. If you’re struggling, don’t stay silent. Talk to someone. Take the next small step. Just getting through today is enough. And sometimes, that’s all you need to do.

7 - Debt Part 1 18:25

18:25

“Yeah, I don’t see anyone in our family becoming that successful.” - My grandmother Breaking the Chains of the Past In this first of a two-part series, Joe Wanner opens up about his early financial struggles and how they fueled his determination to break generational poverty. From being born into a large Filipino immigrant family to being the oldest of six, Joe’s childhood was full of love but short on money—and he didn’t realize it until comparisons with his peers began to surface. From Payless to Privilege Middle school and high school exposed Joe to economic disparity. While classmates wore Jordans and received iPods, Joe showed up in Shacks from Payless and $10 gifts. A pivotal moment came at his 8th-grade graduation, overhearing a family member doubt anyone in their family could ever be successful. That moment lit a fire in Joe’s soul—and he decided the legacy would change with him. Sacrifice and Grit Joe shares the incredible sacrifices his parents made to get him into a top private school through financial aid. While other students arrived in BMWs, Joe caught two buses before sunrise just to make basketball practice. He recounts how these humbling experiences strengthened his resolve to succeed financially and reshape his future. Conclusion This episode is a raw and real look into the early life experiences that shaped Joe’s hunger for financial freedom. It’s not about playing victim—it’s about using the past as power. Get ready for Part II, where Joe dives into the debt and struggles of early adulthood.

“I was three months behind on rent, living off peanut butter and graham crackers, but I told myself — this is going to make a great story one day.” The Cost of Ambition In this powerful continuation of Joe Wanner’s financial journey, Part II of the “Debt” series dives deep into the college years and young adulthood that tested his grit like never before. From working weekends in high school to fund gas and insurance, to being publicly showcased in a financial aid video while catering the event, Joe was constantly reminded that he came from less—and that drove him to want more. Hungry and Hustling Joe recounts moments of literal hunger, where his family’s lack of understanding around athletic nutrition led to skipped meals, and how he’d confide in close friends about not having enough food. By the time he entered college, he was used to hustle. From work-study cafeteria jobs to selling his Xbox, TV, and favorite Nikes to attend a business conference, Joe was all in on building a better future—even when that meant sleeping in frat house sewer water during spring break. Drowning in Debt but Not in Defeat Through network marketing, unpaid internships, and car payments he could barely afford, Joe shares his rawest financial lows. Living three months behind on rent, surviving on scraps, and walking past restaurants knowing he only had $7 to his name—these moments didn’t break him. They sharpened his purpose and solidified his resolve. Built Through the Struggle What sets this episode apart is Joe’s honesty in the discomfort. From building dreams on bus rides to working in gyms with no AC while wearing a suit, he makes it clear: the price he paid was steep, but it was necessary. Hope was his currency when money ran out—and the belief that one day, his story would serve someone else. Conclusion Joe’s journey from broke and behind on rent to building businesses, paying for his wedding in cash, and having millionaires on speed dial is a testament to what’s possible when you reject victimhood and embrace purpose. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like their financial situation is too much to overcome—because Joe proves it’s not.

Ever poured everything into a goal—hard work, sweat, and sacrifice—only to come up short? Maybe even get demoted instead of promoted? That gut punch can feel like failure, but sometimes, what looks like a setback is actually setting us up for something greater. No victim mentality here! Today, I dive into the concept of demotion—whether it’s being cut from a team, passed over for a promotion, or losing something you thought was yours. I share personal experiences and insights on how these moments aren’t the end but rather a test of resilience. True growth often comes from adversity, and how we respond defines our next move. Let’s talk about how to turn disappointment into momentum and redefine what success really means. 00:00 Facing Demotion and Dismissal 03:19 Overcoming Setbacks in Sports and Education 06:30 Navigating Professional Challenges 09:16 Resilience in the Face of Adversity 12:18 Finding Purpose Through Pain Make a Cold connection with exercise physiologist, sales coach, and much more @JoeWannerOfficia l on Instagram…
