In this episode, I’m joined by Danny Miranda, someone who has profoundly impacted my life and my journey as a podcaster. Danny was the first person who made me think, "If he can do it, I can do it," and he helped me believe in myself and my dreams. We tell the story of how my life changed after his Men's Retreat in ATX.
In this episode, Danny shares:

How to find your passion and direction, even if you’re feeling lost.
Practical steps to identify and pursue what truly lights you up.
His own journey from uncertainty to living his dream of helping others.
The importance of self-love and how it can unlock your potential.

This One Thing Held Me Back My Entire Life (How It's Getting Fixed) | Ep. 163 21:15

2 days ago21:15

21:15

This week, I opened up to the team about something that’s held me back my entire life: self-confidence. I share a story about my football career, the ride home from my last game, and the sick feeling of knowing I never fully believed in myself. Ran into a friend from college couple weeks back and he asked me why I’m not scared to do what I’m doing now. I thought back to a conversation I had with my dad just a week before, when he told me his biggest regret: not taking more risks when he was young. That hit me hard. In this episode, I talk about how that moment shifted my perspective and why I refuse to make the same mistake. I’ve already made the hard choice to bet on myself—so why waste energy doubting now? We don’t have time to not believe in ourselves. If you’ve ever held back because of fear or doubt, this one’s for you. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

In this episode, I take you inside what’s really going on—no filters. I share one of the proudest moments I’ve had on this job and open up about what I’m struggling with right now. This episode is me talking to myself as much as I’m talking to you. If you’re in a tough stretch, this might hit home. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

How I Broke Down the "Secret to Success" for My Guys | Ep. 161 13:49

16 days ago13:49

13:49

In this episode, I share the “Secret to Success” —a simple piece of advice I gave to my younger roommate and some of the rookies on our team this week. I also open up about a friend in my car group who’s facing serious adversity. He’s got every reason to quit—but he also has the chance to write a story most people only dream about. Because if you don’t quit… you can’t lose. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!) Instagram: Claytonnelson_ Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5 TikTok: Clayton_Nelson YouTube: ClaytonNelson…

What I Learned About Forcing vs. Flowing | Ep. 160 17:20

23 days ago17:20

17:20

I talk about two big lessons I learned recently—one about chasing goals, and one about leadership. I write my top ten goals every day, and this week I actually achieved one. But when it happened, it didn’t feel how I thought it would. That moment taught me a lot about timing, surrender, and why sometimes you’ve got to let things happen in God’s timing—not force them. The second lesson came from leading my car group this summer. I’ve been realizing just how powerful responsibility and accountability really are and how it's been impacting me. If I want to lead others well, I’ve got to show up better myself and I share how i'm going to do that. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

Coming into this summer feels completely different. Last year, I was the rookie questioning everything: Is this for me? How am I going to figure this out? Now, I know what to expect. We have a lot of rookies on the team and a lot of them are coming to me for advice and I know exactly how they feel right now. I share my story of how I relate to them and what that moment meant for me. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

Caleb Moller: What Made Him Walk Away from College Soccer for D2D—and How He Became a Top Rep | Ep. 158 41:57

6 weeks ago41:57

41:57

This episode features Caleb Moller — one of the top athletes in all of Meraki and one of the biggest reasons behind our winning culture. Caleb opens up about his journey from playing college soccer to dropping out and going all-in on door-to-door sales. He shares why he made that decision, what it cost him, and how he’s finding meaning and growth in the D2D world. We talk about his ability to stay consistent, keep promises to himself, and push through even when it’s hard — a superpower that’s helped him level up. Caleb also gets real about hitting an emotional wall just last week and how he bounced back. His story is a powerful reminder that even the strongest leaders struggle. If you’re a rookie heading into your first summer, this one’s full of gold. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

This week, I take you inside a 1v1 competition I had with another top rep — a battle that came down to the very last day. I ended up losing, but what happened next was way more important than who won. I share the biggest lessons I took from the experience, how I bounced back, and why sometimes the losses shape you more than the wins. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

ROOKIE SUMMER | Week 12: How Long Would You Keep Knocking Without a Win? | Ep. 153 17:32

7 weeks ago17:32

17:32

After two strong weeks, I came into this one expecting momentum — but instead, I bagelled all week. No sales. No wins. It got to the point where my closer had to come knock with me to see what was going on. But late Friday night, everything flipped. Last door of the day: same-day close. First door Saturday morning: same-day close. Then another later that day. This episode is about believing in your inputs even when the results aren’t showing up yet. When you stay consistent, your breakthrough isn’t a matter of if — it’s a matter of when. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

This week, I break down a game-changing training from Zack Andersen about “finding your aces” — and how it shifted the way I look at my day-to-day inputs. I share how this idea helped me realize that the best days often come out of nowhere… but only if you’ve been showing up and intentionally putting in the work. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)

ROOKIE SUMMER | Week 10: How to Stop Focusing on the Outputs | Ep. 151 10:36

10:36

This week, I share how I’ve learned to let go of chasing results and started locking in on the process. I break down the difference between a learning season and an earning season, and how that shift helped me take emotion out of the outcome. When you stop obsessing over the outputs, everything gets more fun- and you actually grow faster. If you’re putting in the work but not seeing it all pay off yet, this one’s for you.

This episode is part of my ROOKIE SUMMER series — a recap from my first summer knocking doors, recorded in real time. In Week 9, I hit The Drop. It’s that moment when all the effort, all the hours, and all the reps finally catch up—and the results start pouring in. It doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because you stayed consistent when it wasn’t easy. In this episode, I share what The Drop looked like for me, how it felt to finally see the work pay off, and why your drop is coming too—if you keep showing up and stacking those inputs. This one is for anyone still grinding, waiting for their breakthrough. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)
