What do you get when you mix grit, vision, AI, and a little shark obsession? You get McKenzie "Macka" Pemberton Whiteley.

In this episode of Purpose Driven Progress, I sit down with serial entrepreneur Macka, whose grandfather once said he'd end up in jail or become a multimillionaire — he's halfway there.

We dive into:

• The highs and lows of real entrepreneurship (and why it's not for everyone)

• Building sales and marketing systems that scale

• The power of AI in prospecting and business growth

• What most people get wrong about LinkedIn outreach

• And how a four-year follow-up turned into a rapper wearing Macka’s $5,000 custom tracksuit 👀

Whether you're a founder, salesperson, or creative, this conversation will challenge the way you think about hustle, patience, vision, and building systems that don’t burn you out.
