In this episode, I sit down with Jack Preston, a 25-year-old entrepreneur whoâs proving that confidence isnât something youâre born with â itâs something you earn.
Jack shares how he went from plumbing for ÂŁ49/day, to trading (losing â then learning), and now to building a content agency that turns everyday moments into stories worth sharing.
His path hasnât been easy â but through mentorship, community, and sheer persistence, Jack has carved out his own lane.
We dig into:
đ Why confidence comes from proving yourself through action, not waiting for permission
đĄ The shift from trading losses to entrepreneurial lessons
đ How the A-Players community helped spark his agency journey
đĽ Why risk, discipline, and character matter more than titles or degrees
đ ď¸ What it takes to build a business when everyone around you doubts you
Jackâs 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.

Welcome Back Winners,This week, I sat down with good friend & fellow A-Player, Andrew Brennan Smith, and the conversation was one of those rare ones that keeps circling back in your mind hours later.We talked about changeânot as something to fear, but as the very thing that sharpens us. Andrew shared how he pivoted from a traditional career into the online business world, the mindset shifts that made it possible, and the hard truths of running an agency (hint: itâs not as glamorous as it looks on Instagram).One thing that stood out to me was how he defines success. Itâs not about going viral or chasing the next shiny metricâitâs about keeping promises to yourself, showing up for the people you serve, and building something real.We also explored what a marathon can teach you about discipline, resilience, and your own limits⌠and why living as a digital nomad isnât just about freedom, but about learning to adapt anywhere.If youâve been questioning your path, waiting for the âperfect moment,â or wondering what it takes to turn an idea into something tangibleâthis episode is your reminder that investing in yourself will always be the best bet you can make.đ§ Interested in more aligned opportunities?

This might be the most vulnerable episode Iâve 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 didnât planâa full, unfiltered reflection on everything Iâve 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 didnât want to lose this momentâit deserved to be heard.
This oneâs about shame, grace, and the kind of silent battles most people never talk about. If youâve ever felt like you were holding it all together with one hand and still slippingâI see you. I was you. And I want this episode to remind you that youâre not alone in that feeling.
Sometimes itâs not about avoiding the fireâitâs 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, unfilteredâand absolutely unforgettable.
I recorded it mid-runâlive from the streets of Romeâabout 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 youâd do⌠until youâre 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, thatâs saying something). But more than that, this oneâs a real-time reminder:
You donât have to have it all figured out.
You just have to start.
To everyone whoâs followed the Road to Rome journeyâthank you. This has been one of the most challenging, rewarding, and clarifying experiences of my life. And Iâm still not done.
Keep chasing what lights you up. Even if youâre scared. Especially if youâre scared.
â Jack
Progress is messyâbut worth documenting.
Momentum multiplies when you show up for yourself.
You donât need permission to go after the version of you thatâs already waiting on the other side of the pain.

Winners,
Weâre six days out from the biggest race of our livesâ26.2 miles across the ancient streets of Rome, and the feeling is real now. Todayâs episode is short, raw, and reflective, recorded right after my last run in Saint Augustine before hopping the pond to Italy.
This oneâs 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 yearsâyour 20sâare 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?
Itâs a reminder that this season of life is yours. Before the families, the forever homes, and the full calendarsâthese 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.
â Jack
Running is a mental game: Train your mind for the environment you're stepping intoânot just the effort.
Strength training is essential: For confidence, durability, and showing up in life like a weapon.
Donât waste your figuring-it-out years: Take bold action now. You donât owe anyone an explanation for doing what lights you up.
Give life your best shot: Youâll never regret trying. You will regret settling.

Hello wonderful humans.
I took this one with me on a run â two and a half miles deep, thoughts flowing, and the concept of creative ambition hit me like a sledgehammer. We throw around words like âcreativityâ a lot, but what if thereâs a higher level to it? What if the real differentiator isnât the creativity itself, but the ambition that fuels it?
In this episode, I unpack the difference between creativity and creative ambition â how one keeps you stuck in your head while the other propels you forward. Itâs 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:
Creativity vs. Creative Ambition:
Creativity without ambition is just potential energy. Creative ambition is what takes that spark and turns it into fire â a body of work, a reputation, a movement.
Agency Over Your Life:
The last 27 months have been about one thing for me: taking radical ownership. Itâs about becoming the CEO of your life, not just the artist behind the scenes.
Run the Reps â Literally and Figuratively:
The run to the gym mirrored the run to Rome. Weâre 7 days out from the race, and the mental game is as crucial as the physical. Whether itâs mileage or mindset, itâs the consistent reps that build the next version of you.
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. Theyâll call it out in you, and the world will follow.
Curious about how your own creative ambition can turn into real opportunity?Iâm running free Opportunity Automation Audits this week for anyone ready to level up â whether thatâs landing your dream client, monetizing a skill, or finding clarity on your next move.
DM me âAMBITIONâ if youâre in â letâs build the blueprint.

Hello Wonderful Humans
In this episode, I checked in mid-run â just 10 days out from race day in Rome â and what started as a voice note on pacing turned into one of the most real reflections Iâve recorded yet.
This journey has never just been about running. Itâs been about the belief systems Iâve had to break, the identity Iâve had to reshape, and the version of myself Iâve been quietly building in the dark.
From struggling to run 4 miles to logging 20+ without flinching â 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 donât need to âgo viralâ â 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 â to myself, and maybe to you too.
In this episode, I talk about:đ§

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.
Letâs talk real for a second. The common thread between the most successful people I know? They all hit that moment where they realized: no oneâs coming to save you. If you want it, itâs on you.
In this episode, I unpack the mindset thatâs been fueling my marathon trainingâand honestly, my life lately. Itâs not about hype. Itâs about taking full ownership of your path. Because belief without action? Thatâs just a fancy word for sitting still.
Hereâs what we get into:
đĽ Why waiting on âperfect timingâ or blaming market conditions is keeping you stuck
đââď¸ How marathon training has become my personal system for dropping dead weightâphysically and emotionally
đ§ââď¸ Meditation, gym sessions, prayerâthe 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)
đŻ How to stay aligned with what you actually wantâand 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 workâgood. Thatâs the point.

Hi
So hereâs the dealâthis weekâs 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 discomfortâturning left when you usually turn right, not knowing exactly where youâre headed but trusting yourself enough to keep moving. Itâs 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 âSoundtrack to Your Lifeâ playlist. Not just your hype songsâbut 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 âThis Is Life Nowâ playlistâfuture-youâs anthem lineup. High-frequency, dream-manifesting energy only. Because your brain doesnât know the difference between whatâs real and whatâs vividly imagined. Might as well give it something good to work with.
Finally, a little gratitude rant (because thatâs how we roll). Big love to the real ones whoâve been here since day one, the haters, the doubters, the ride-or-diesâyâall are all part of this. Five and a half years speaking this thing into existence⌠and weâre 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.

Welcome Back Legends,
This episodeâs a bit of a recalibrationâjust 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 thatâs more uncomfortable than I expected. Iâm learning to slow down without guilt, to rest without panic, and to trust that systems Iâve built are starting to hold. Thatâs new for me.
This oneâs for the builders who are in itâfor the ones juggling vision, operations, and the mental battles that donât always get airtime. I share what Iâm leaning into creatively, how Iâm 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 youâre in the grind or in the grace, I hope this one meets you where you're at.
âJack

32:10 â Closing reflections and whatâs next on the road
Day 93 Alright familyâepisode 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 thatâs teaching me more about life than any book could.
In this one, I broke down the concept of âtalking paceâ â 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 thatâs 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. Thereâs wisdom in the sweat, and clarity in the chaos if youâre paying attention.
Also peeled back some of the layers on why Iâm even doing this marathon in the first place. Hint: Itâs deeper than the miles.
Whether youâre building something big or just trying to figure out whatâs next, this oneâs got something for you.

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.
