From Addict to 8-Figure Mentor — Scaling, Sobriety & Fatherhood | Dean Kazora | Ep 073

Welcome to The Infinite Income Podcast with Tanner Chidester — founder, CEO, investor, and online coaching expert.

In this episode, I sit down with Dean Kazora — former addict turned 8-figure sales mentor — to unpack the raw, unfiltered truth about scaling a real business, staying sober, and leading your family without losing your soul.

We cover how Dean built a $3M+ sales agency by ignoring the online business hype, why most coaches should never scale, and how addiction, fatherhood, and personal growth shaped the man he is today.

If you want honest advice on building a business that doesn’t ruin your life — and becoming a man people can actually trust — this episode delivers.
