Your Standards at Home Show Up at Work - Caleb Storts
Jan 10, 2026

Most people talk about winning.

This conversation is about the cost of trying to win too fast — and what it takes to build a life that can actually hold the weight of the business.

In this episode of The Journey, Ricardo sits down with Caleb for a raw, practical talk that moves from the realities of scaling a lawn care/home service business (systems, hiring, leadership, money) into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: relationship standards, emotional discipline, and the seasons where you feel “locked in”… but you’re actually breaking your foundation.

Competitors Aren’t the Enemy - Parker Hodge
Jan 03, 2026

Most people think the hard part is getting clients.

The harder part is keeping trust—especially when you leave town, the phone won’t stop ringing, and your business starts exposing every crack in your life.

In this episode, Parker Charles Hodge and I talk through what it actually looks like to build a lawn care/landscaping business in real life: the seasons that blindside you, the marketing mistakes you only make once, and the moment you realize growth doesn’t just require more work—it requires better leadership.

The Truth I Spent Years Avoiding
Jan 03, 2026

There’s a moment in your life where the version of you that the world sees…

and the version of you that you know behind closed doors

no longer match.

That’s the Mirror Stage.

It’s the season where you start noticing the truth about yourself — your intentions, your insecurities, your need for approval, the way other people’s expectations steer your decisions without you realizing it.

This isn’t a chapter about rising.

It’s a chapter about seeing.

Seeing where your confidence was borrowed. Duration: 00:14:44

The Long Road to Being Undeniable - Bristol Banchek
Dec 27, 2025

This episode is a deep conversation with Bristol about mastery, discipline, and what it really takes to build a career — and a life — you’re proud of.

From falling in love with the craft, to hitting ceilings, to teaching others how to level up, this isn’t a highlight-reel conversation. It’s about the slow, earned process of becoming undeniable.

We talk about:

• Mastery before money

• Discipline over motivation

• Teaching others without ego

• Loneliness at higher levels

• Confidence built through repetition

• Identity, self-trust, and responsibility

The Lonely Chapter
Dec 20, 2025

Every man has a season that happens in silence.

A season with no applause, no validation, no audience.

A season where the world gets quiet enough for you to hear your own doubts… and your own potential.

The Lonely Chapter is where transformation begins.

You’re not who you used to be, but you’re not who you’re becoming either —

you’re suspended in the middle, building a life no one sees yet.

It’s the early mornings, the empty rooms, the internal battles.

It’s the grind...

The Price Nobody Warns You About - Michael Bekele
Dec 13, 2025

Michael Bekele returns for a deep, unfiltered conversation about growth, discipline, pressure, and the responsibility that comes with becoming more than you used to be.

This episode isn’t about hype or shortcuts.

It’s about what happens after ambition, when motivation fades and the weight of consistency sets in.


We talk about:

• The pressure of growth

• Discipline over motivation

• Loneliness at higher levels

• Identity, ego, and self-trust

• The real cost of mastery

Building Yourself When No One Is Watching
Dec 06, 2025

There are seasons in a man’s life that don’t make it onto a calendar.

No dates. No celebrations. No applause.

Just quiet work, silent battles, and a version of you nobody else ever meets.

This video is the beginning of that journey.

We start with The Lonely Chapter —

the season where nothing feels certain,

where you’re stuck between who you used to be

and who you’re desperately trying to become.

The grind is invisible. The progress is slow.

What Discipline Really Is
Nov 29, 2025

Everyone throws the word “discipline” around like it’s easy.

Like it’s simple.

Like it’s just “showing up.”

But in this video, I’m breaking down the real side of discipline — the part nobody posts on Instagram.

This is the kind of discipline that’s built at 5AM, when the bed is warm and the world is quiet.

The kind that shows up in business when the day goes wrong, clients cancel, stress piles up, and quitting feels easier than starting.

The kind that doesn’t look glamorous or mo...

What I Learned After 50 Episodes
Nov 22, 2025

Fifty episodes. Most creators don’t make it past twenty-one… but I pushed through that wall on purpose. Not to brag, but to prove to myself that this podcast isn’t a phase — it’s something I love, something I’m committed to, and something I’m still getting better at every single time I hit record.

Over these 50 episodes, I’ve met 19 guests — all from different backgrounds, different levels of success, different battles. But they all share one thing:

A desire to be better.

Not one of them was “comfortable” with where they were. And that’s...

From Me To You

This one’s personal.

No fancy edits, no gimmicks — just lessons and frameworks that shaped me.

🔹 A lot of people wait for perfect conditions to start, not realizing that starting is the perfect condition.

🔹 If you live in the future, you’re anxious. If you live in the past, you’re depressed. If you live in the now, you’re happy.

🔹 Life is like the gym — there’s always someone ahead of you and someone who’d kill to be where you are.
