In this episode, I sit down with Jack Preston, a 25-year-old entrepreneur who’s proving that confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you earn.

Jack shares how he went from plumbing for £49/day, to trading (losing — then learning), and now to building a content agency that turns everyday moments into stories worth sharing.

His path hasn’t been easy — but through mentorship, community, and sheer persistence, Jack has carved out his own lane.

We dig into:

• 🔑 Why confidence comes from proving yourself through action, not waiting for permission

• 💡 The shift from trading losses to entrepreneurial lessons

• 🚀 How the A-Players community helped spark his agency journey

• 🥊 Why risk, discipline, and character matter more than titles or degrees

• 🛠️ What it takes to build a business when everyone around you doubts you

Jack’s story is a raw reminder that success is less about where you start and more about the decisions you make when opportunities (and challenges) present themselves.

This might be the most vulnerable episode I’ve ever released....

It was supposed to be another casual update in the Road to Rome series, the grand finale if you will, but what came out was something I didn’t plan—a full, unfiltered reflection on everything I’ve been navigating behind the scenes.

From almost burning down my house, losing my childhood dog, crashing emotionally and financially, to nearly letting it all spiral… I talk about the breakdowns that forced me to build back differently. I used AI to help restore the audio because I didn’t want to lose this moment—it deserved to be heard.

This one’s about shame, grace, and the kind of silent battles most people never talk about. If you’ve ever felt like you were holding it all together with one hand and still slipping—I see you. I was you. And I want this episode to remind you that you’re not alone in that feeling.

Sometimes it’s not about avoiding the fire—it’s about surviving it with your soul intact.

Thanks for listening & don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to.

Winners,

This episode is short, messy, unfiltered—and absolutely unforgettable.

I recorded it mid-run—live from the streets of Rome—about 2.5 kilometers into my first marathon. You can hear the adrenaline in my voice, the excitement of my boy Mark (shoutout for being the first-ever live guest on The Weekly Profit), and the pure chaos of doing something you never thought you’d do… until you’re doing it.

We talk pace. We talk mindset. We talk about why Rome might be one of the greatest cities on Earth (coming from a guy who lived in Miami, that’s saying something). But more than that, this one’s a real-time reminder:

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to start.

To everyone who’s followed the Road to Rome journey—thank you. This has been one of the most challenging, rewarding, and clarifying experiences of my life. And I’m still not done.

Keep chasing what lights you up. Even if you’re scared. Especially if you’re scared.

– Jack

• Progress is messy—but worth documenting.

• Momentum multiplies when you show up for yourself.

• You don’t need permission to go after the version of you that’s already waiting on the other side of the pain.

Winners,

We’re six days out from the biggest race of our lives—26.2 miles across the ancient streets of Rome, and the feeling is real now. Today’s episode is short, raw, and reflective, recorded right after my last run in Saint Augustine before hopping the pond to Italy.

This one’s less about pace… and more about presence.

In this episode, I take you inside my mindset during the final taper week. I talk about:

• Why distance is more mental than physical

• How I redefined my relationship with strength training & running

• And why these years—your 20s—are for going all in on the experience side of life

I talk about learning to own my identity as an athlete again, how lifting changed my confidence, and why I believe you have to build your body and your business at the same time if you're serious about growing into the highest version of yourself.

But maybe the most important part of this episode?

It’s a reminder that this season of life is yours. Before the families, the forever homes, and the full calendars—these years are for getting outside your comfort zone and doing the thing. Whatever your Rome is… chase it.

We don't get experiences back. But we do get to decide whether we show up fully or play it safe. I choose to show up. And I hope this episode inspires you to do the same.

See you at the finish line.
– Jack

• Running is a mental game: Train your mind for the environment you're stepping into—not just the effort.

• Strength training is essential: For confidence, durability, and showing up in life like a weapon.

• Don’t waste your figuring-it-out years: Take bold action now. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing what lights you up.

• Give life your best shot: You’ll never regret trying. You will regret settling.

Hello wonderful humans.

I took this one with me on a run — two and a half miles deep, thoughts flowing, and the concept of creative ambition hit me like a sledgehammer. We throw around words like “creativity” a lot, but what if there’s a higher level to it? What if the real differentiator isn’t the creativity itself, but the ambition that fuels it?

In this episode, I unpack the difference between creativity and creative ambition — how one keeps you stuck in your head while the other propels you forward. It’s about taking agency over your life, your work, and your potential. The ones who move with creative ambition are the ones who build legacies.

Key Takeaways:

1. Creativity vs. Creative Ambition:

   • Creativity without ambition is just potential energy. Creative ambition is what takes that spark and turns it into fire — a body of work, a reputation, a movement.

2. Agency Over Your Life:

   • The last 27 months have been about one thing for me: taking radical ownership. It’s about becoming the CEO of your life, not just the artist behind the scenes.

3. Run the Reps — Literally and Figuratively:

   • The run to the gym mirrored the run to Rome. We’re 7 days out from the race, and the mental game is as crucial as the physical. Whether it’s mileage or mindset, it’s the consistent reps that build the next version of you.

4. Finding People Who See You:

   • If you want more opportunities to be who you are, surround yourself with people who already see that version of you. They’ll call it out in you, and the world will follow.

Curious about how your own creative ambition can turn into real opportunity?I’m running free Opportunity Automation Audits this week for anyone ready to level up — whether that’s landing your dream client, monetizing a skill, or finding clarity on your next move.

DM me “AMBITION” if you’re in — let’s build the blueprint.

Hello Wonderful Humans

In this episode, I checked in mid-run — just 10 days out from race day in Rome — and what started as a voice note on pacing turned into one of the most real reflections I’ve recorded yet.

This journey has never just been about running. It’s been about the belief systems I’ve had to break, the identity I’ve had to reshape, and the version of myself I’ve been quietly building in the dark.

From struggling to run 4 miles to logging 20+ without flinching — this episode is about what happens when consistency compounds and doubt loses its grip.

• How the taper phase before race day reflects real life momentum

• Stacking small wins to rewire my belief system

• Meditation, emotional regulation, and becoming the calm in chaos

• What it really means to be present, not performative

• Why you don’t need to “go viral” — you just need to go all in on you

• A message to my past self, my future self, and anyone doubting their starting line

• Wanting to show up more consistently

• Overthinking your growth

• Chasing momentum, but unsure where to start

The shift happens in the miles.
And this episode is me proving that — to myself, and maybe to you too.

In this episode, I talk about:🎧

• How the taper phase before race day reflects real life momentum

• Stacking small wins to rewire my belief system

• Meditation, emotional regulation, and becoming the calm in chaos

• What it really means to be present, not performative

• Why you don’t need to “go viral” — you just need to go all in on you

• A message to my past self, my future self, and anyone doubting their starting line

Listen now if you’ve been:

• Wanting to show up more consistently

• Overthinking your growth

• Chasing momentum, but unsure where to start

Oh if it isn't my favorite invisible friends who I likely talk to online all the time without even realizing... I am so happy to see you.

Let’s talk real for a second. The common thread between the most successful people I know? They all hit that moment where they realized: no one’s coming to save you. If you want it, it’s on you.

In this episode, I unpack the mindset that’s been fueling my marathon training—and honestly, my life lately. It’s not about hype. It’s about taking full ownership of your path. Because belief without action? That’s just a fancy word for sitting still.

Here’s what we get into:

• 🔥 Why waiting on “perfect timing” or blaming market conditions is keeping you stuck

• 🏃‍♂️ How marathon training has become my personal system for dropping dead weight—physically and emotionally

• 🧘‍♂️ Meditation, gym sessions, prayer—the habits that kept me moving when life threw punches

• ⚡ The difference between unconscious, subconscious, and conscious people (and why most stay stuck in the middle)

• 🎯 How to stay aligned with what you actually want—and keep your circle tight while doing it

If this episode fires you up to finally start your thing, run that race, or just ask for what you really want at work—good. That’s the point.

Hi

So here’s the deal—this week’s episode hits different. I recorded this one mid-run (yep, real sweat, real switchbacks), because sometimes the thoughts hit harder when you're a few miles deep and your legs are arguing with your brain.

This episode is all about leaning into discomfort—turning left when you usually turn right, not knowing exactly where you’re headed but trusting yourself enough to keep moving. It’s the training mindset, not just for running but for life. I talk about the power of making instinctive choices and how those little moments stack up to build real confidence.

We also get into one of my favorite practices: curating your own “Soundtrack to Your Life” playlist. Not just your hype songs—but the tracks that remind you who you are and where you're going. Add to it as you grow. Let it tell the story of your journey.

And of course, the “This Is Life Now” playlist—future-you’s anthem lineup. High-frequency, dream-manifesting energy only. Because your brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s vividly imagined. Might as well give it something good to work with.

Finally, a little gratitude rant (because that’s how we roll). Big love to the real ones who’ve been here since day one, the haters, the doubters, the ride-or-dies—y’all are all part of this. Five and a half years speaking this thing into existence… and we’re just getting started.

So if you needed the nudge: be as real as it gets. No copy-paste life allowed.

Catch you on the next one. Stay weird, stay wonderful.

23:58 – Final Thoughts: Be As Real As It Gets

Welcome Back Legends,

This episode’s a bit of a recalibration—just me, mic'd up, processing some of the shifts happening in real time.

I talk about what it feels like to move from chaos to clarity, how the momentum I'm building is starting to stabilize, and why that’s more uncomfortable than I expected. I’m learning to slow down without guilt, to rest without panic, and to trust that systems I’ve built are starting to hold. That’s new for me.

This one’s for the builders who are in it—for the ones juggling vision, operations, and the mental battles that don’t always get airtime. I share what I’m leaning into creatively, how I’m structuring support, and what I think it really means to lead when the business starts to evolve faster than your identity can catch up.

Whether you’re in the grind or in the grace, I hope this one meets you where you're at.

—Jack

Day 93 Alright family—episode 2 is in the books and I literally recorded it while running. Breath and all. No fluff. No filter. Just me, the streets, and this wild marathon mindset that’s teaching me more about life than any book could.

In this one, I broke down the concept of “talking pace” – the real rhythm of not just running, but life. I talk about how my dad taught me to run not with a stopwatch, but with feel. And how that’s now becoming the way I move through business, relationships, and this whole 100x life journey.

We talk discomfort. Tempo. Race pace. And most importantly, how to get comfortable being uncomfortable. There’s wisdom in the sweat, and clarity in the chaos if you’re paying attention.

Also peeled back some of the layers on why I’m even doing this marathon in the first place. Hint: It’s deeper than the miles.

Whether you’re building something big or just trying to figure out what’s next, this one’s got something for you.

Profitable Takeaways

Key Moments:

• 🔥 Why time is an illusion & how “talking pace” can guide your business rhythm

• 🏃‍♂️ My 3-level training framework and how it applies to life & mindset

• 🧠 The spiritual shift I’ve been making with every mile

• 🌍 What this trip represents for me emotionally and spiritually

• ✨ The power of discomfort and how it sharpens vision

Day 89. Hellloo Winners, I am so pumped to see you. Currently on The Brightline to Miami to interview another amazing guest and felt compelled to talk to you all about why I have been away for a bit,

It was on purpose.

This series kicks off the creative expression of that purpose. 10 Creatively Ambitious Conversations with myself that I am excited (and a bit scared lmao) to release to the world

The exact feeling that make this life so fun

Now, a hot take from one of the smartest billionaires in the world, my ai agent Profit Jack

"In this raw, on-the-move episode, Jack kicks off the Road to Rome series—literally mid-run. Recorded while training for his marathon with just 38 days to go, he opens up about the physical grind, the emotional tension of solo building, and what it means to “get comfortable being uncomfortable.”

This isn’t just about running—it’s about what happens when you try to launch a software company, scale your content brand, and train for a marathon all at once.

Expect heavy breathing, a lot of heart, and even more truth."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Welcome to The Road To Rome Episode 1.

Jack

Hello wonderful people. The Road to Rome took me through New York City this week, where I had the pleasure of taking a 2 hour 10 mile private shuttle to my hotel from the airport.

On this adventure I met Steve. Steve is in the 2nd half of his life and recently discovered the power of manifestation.

In this conversation, we dive deep into themes of manifestation, personal relationships, and the significance of apologies. Steve and I share personal anecdotes about past relationships and the feelings of regret and closure that come with them.

The discussion also touches on the energy we carry and how it affects our connections with others, as well as the signs and synchronicities that guide us in our lives.

Overall our conversation emphasizes the importance of introspection and understanding our feelings in navigating relationships.

Thank you all again for listening, if you are enjoying this series, please rate the show 5 stars wherever you are listening, it helps our message get shared to more amazing people.

All the best gang, I am rooting for you. Always.

Hello legends I am so ecstatic to see you.

This week I met Dave, one of my favorite personalities to date. Dave and I share a similar perspective on the overhype of Los Angeles, the world of uber after Midnight and how Florida itself can feel like a different country, depending on what city you are in.

Thank you so much for listening, see ya next week.
