The Strategy Behind Making Decisions Like a Millionaire
I'm Paul Alex and today we're going to be diving into a game changer topic. How to make decisions like a millionaire. Here's the deal. Millionaires don't think like the average person. They don't react emotionally and they don't waste time on small decisions. Instead, they focus on strategies that drive results. Let me break down how you can start making high level decisions starting today.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Strategy Behind Making Decisions Like a Millionaire
First, you got to think long term, not short term. Millionaires don't focus on instant gratification. They play the long game. Before I left law enforcement to launch my first business, I wasn't thinking about quick wins. I was focused on building something that would last. Every decision you make should align with your bigger vision.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

You got to ask yourself, will this move help me in 5, 10, or 20 years? If it's not building the future you want, it's not worth your energy.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Strategy Behind Making Decisions Like a Millionaire
Whether it's investing in a new business, hiring a teammate, or scaling a product, they analyze the numbers and let the data guide their choices. If you're making decisions based on how you feel in the moment, you're gambling. It's not strategy, so you gotta remove the emotion, trust the facts, and execute. Lastly, delegate low-value decision-making.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Hustle Mentality Can Ruin Your Business
And if you're not careful, it'll actually burn you out, hold you back, and keep your business from reaching its true potential. So let me break it down for you. First, hustling alone isn't scalable. When I started, I was putting in 80 to 100 hour work weeks, doing everything myself, guys. It worked to get my business off the ground. I called it six months of hell. But I realized something.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Hustle Mentality Can Ruin Your Business
If your business can't run without you, you don't have a business. You have a ticking time bomb. You can hustle to start, but you need systems and a team to actually grow. Second, the hustle mentality kills creativity.

So if you're too busy hustling, you'll miss the bigger opportunities. You have to rest and reflect. Rest and reflection aren't weaknesses. They're actually weapons. And lastly, it's not about just grinding, guys. It's about efficiency. The goal isn't to work harder than everyone else. It's to outthink and outmaneuver them.

Success isn't guaranteed, even with all the resources in the world. But when you're resourceful, you develop the confidence to handle anything that life pushes your way. You know you can figure it out, no matter how tough it gets. That's a mindset no amount of money can replace, okay? So what's the bottom line here?

You don't need a massive budget, a perfect plan, or a long list of connections to win. You need a mindset to make things happen with whatever you got.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Resourcefulness Beats Resources Every Time
So let me tell you why being resourceful is the ultimate game changer here. First, resources are limited, guys, but being resourceful is limitless. You can only stretch money, tools, or time so far, but when you're resourceful, you find ways to solve problems no matter what's in front of you. When I started my first business, I didn't have millions to invest. I had grit.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Resourcefulness Beats Resources Every Time
I had to be creative and I have to have the willingness to figure it out. If you rely only on what you have, you're going to hit a wall no matter what. If you rely on what you can do, you'll break through it. Second, being resourceful forces growth. When you don't have all the answers, you learn to adapt. You learn to innovate and you learn to pivot.

When you control your emotions, you control the outcome. And lastly, it drives growth for you and your team. Leaders with emotional intelligence empower others, guys. They know how to motivate, give constructive feedback, and inspire others to reach their potential. Your ability to lead people isn't about how much you know.

Why Emotional Intelligence Is the Key to Leadership
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be diving into a topic that separates good leaders from great ones, emotional intelligence. So if you think leadership isn't just about making decisions or giving orders, you're missing the point here. Leadership is about people and emotional intelligence.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Emotional Intelligence Is the Key to Leadership
Your ability to understand, connect with, and influence others is the secret weapon that every great leader uses. So let's break this down. First, emotional intelligence builds trust. People don't follow titles. They follow leaders they trust. When I started leading teams, I learned quickly that if I can't connect with people on a human level, then I won't be able to inspire loyalty.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Emotional Intelligence Is the Key to Leadership
Emotional intelligence means listening, understanding their struggles, and showing that you care about their success. Trust is the foundation of every strong team. And emotional intelligence is actually how you earn it as a leader and as a business owner. Second, it helps you navigate through tough situations. As a leader, you're going to face challenges, conflicts, failures, and tough decisions.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Business Lessons You Can’t Afford to Ignore
First, cash flow is king. I don't care how great your product or service is. If your cash flow is weak, your business is on life support. Early on, I learned that revenue is not the same as profit. It's easy to get caught up in big numbers, but in reality, it's what's left after the bills are paid. You gotta track your numbers like your life depends on it because it does.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Business Lessons You Can’t Afford to Ignore
If people trust you, they'll buy from you again and again, and they'll tell you others to do the same thing. Long-term success comes from repeat customers and strong referrals. And lastly, you gotta adapt or die. That's just the reality of the game, guys. The market doesn't care about your feelings or your comfort zone. What worked last year may not work today.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Business Lessons You Can’t Afford to Ignore
The most successful entrepreneurs aren't the ones who just stick to their old ways. They're the ones who innovate, pivot, and stay ahead of the game. Complacency is the enemy. You gotta stay sharp. You gotta stay flexible. You gotta be ready to evolve. Bottom line, these lessons aren't optional. They're essential. You gotta master your cashflow.

Risk is part of the game of life and business. But if you're not willing to take risk, you're not ready to succeed. That's just point in blank. But that doesn't mean jumping in blindly.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Simple Formula for Calculating Business Risks
Smart entrepreneurs know how to evaluate risk and make calculated moves. So let's break down a simple formula to help you assess risk like a pro. First things first, guys, start with a potential upside. Ask yourself this. If this works out, what's the reward? Is it a new stream of revenue, a breakthrough partnership, or scaling your business to the next level?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Simple Formula for Calculating Business Risks
The key is understanding whether the risk aligns with your bigger goals. If the upside doesn't move the needle, it's probably not worth it to you. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, OfficialPaulAlex.com for more motivational episodes. Second, evaluate the downside. This is where most people mess up. They don't think about what happens if it fails. Ask yourself this.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Simple Formula for Calculating Business Risks
What's the worst case scenario? Can I recover from it? If the answer is no, that's not a smart risk. But if you can handle the fallout, that's your green light to move forward. Entrepreneurs don't avoid risk. They minimize the damage when it doesn't work out, guys. And lastly... factor in the probability of success. This is about being honest with yourself. What are your chances this works out?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Simple Formula for Calculating Business Risks
Do you have the skills, the knowledge, or the resources to make it happen? And if not, what can you do to improve the odds? Risk isn't about rolling the dice. It's about stacking the deck in your favor, guys. So the bottom line here, the formula is simple. Upside, downside, and probability. If the upside outweighs the downside, the odds are in your favor. Take the shot.

The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
Focus on the transformation, the results, or the problem you're solving. When people see the value, they stop questioning the price. Price becomes secondary when the perceived value is sky high. So what's the bottom line here? Pricing isn't just about covering costs. It's actually about creating a perception of value that maximizes profit.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

You gotta position your offer right, provide values, and focus on transformation. That's how you win, guys, and that's how you build a successful business.

The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
My name is Paul Alex, and today we're going to be diving into a topic that can transform your business overnight, the psychology of pricing and how to maximize your profit. Let me tell you, pricing isn't just about numbers. It's actually about perception. So if you understand how people think, you can actually position your product or service to feel irresistible while increasing your bottom line.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
So let's break it down. First, people associate price with value. If your pricing is too low, customers will assume your product isn't worth much. On the flip side, When you position your offer as premium, people expect quality and they're willing to pay for it. When I started offering high ticket coaching programs, I realized that charging more actually attracted more serious clients.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
The right price doesn't just sell. It actually builds trust and credibility. Second, offer tiered pricing. This is actually a game changer. When you provide multiple pricing options, like a basic premium and elite package, you let your customer choose what fits their needs. But here's the trick. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
Most people will gravitate towards the middle option because they actually feel safe. So that's why you position your most profitable package in the middle tier. Psychologically, it feels like the best deal. Lastly, Highlight the value, not the cost. Don't just tell people what they're paying for. Show them what they're getting in return.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Blueprint for Scaling from Zero to Hero
So let's break down the blueprint for turning nothing into something extraordinary. First, master one thing before chasing everything. When I left corporate America to law enforcement, to building my businesses full time, I didn't try 10 different things at once. I focused on mastering a single scalable model. Success starts with discipline.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Blueprint for Scaling from Zero to Hero
So you got to find your lane and you got to dominate and then you got to expand. Scaling isn't about doing more. It's about doing one thing exceptionally well. Second, leverage systems, not just efforts, guys. Hustle will get you started, but systems will take you to the next level.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Blueprint for Scaling from Zero to Hero
You can't scale by doing everything yourself, whether it's automating processes, delegating tasks, or creating repeatable frameworks. Your systems need to work harder than you do. A hero isn't someone who does it all. It's someone who builds something that works without them. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes.

So let's break down how you can design a life of freedom by building your own empire. First, you gotta define what freedom means to you. Too many people chase money without a plan, thinking it'll solve everything. But freedom isn't just about stacking cash, guys. It's about having the time and flexibility to live the life on your own terms.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Design a Life of Freedom Through Entrepreneurship
When I transitioned from working 80 to 100-hour work weeks as a cop to running multiple businesses, I didn't just want to make more money. I wanted to create a life where I could work from anywhere, spend time with family, and build something that lasts. Sustainability, right? So you got to know what your why is before you start chasing the how. Second, build systems that work without you.

Deliver more than anyone else. Domination isn't about luck. It's about consistency and grit. And lastly... Know your market inside and out.

Why Success is Not Defined by Popularity
What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex and today we're going to be cutting through the noise to talk about something real. Why success is not defined by popularity. In today's world, it's easy to confuse likes, followers, or fame with actual success. So let me tell you something, success isn't about being known, it's about being impactful.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Success is Not Defined by Popularity
So let's break it down. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. First, popularity doesn't pay the bills, but results do. You can have all the followers in the world, but if you're not delivering value or building something meaningful, it's just vanity, guys. When I started my first business, I wasn't worried about being popular.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Success is Not Defined by Popularity
I was more focused on creating systems that produce real results. Popularity might get attention, and results earn respect. But look... Second thing, success is about impact, not applause. The most successful people I know aren't chasing clout, guys. They're actually solving problems. They're building legacies and they're making a difference.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Success is Not Defined by Popularity
Whether it's for your clients, your team, or your family, the true measure of success is the value you are bringing. Chasing popularity is a distraction from creating impact. And lastly... Popularity is fleeting, guys, but success is built to last. Trends come and go, but a solid foundation, strong relationships, and consistent effort will outlast any viral moment.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Keep Going When Motivation Runs Dry
Spark fizzles out. Let's get into it. First, focus on discipline over motivation. Discipline is what gets you out of bed when you don't feel like it. When I was working 80 hours plus as a detective in law enforcement and building my first business on the side, I wasn't motivated every day, guys. I'm gonna be honest with you. I was exhausted.

Why Challenging Norms Sets You Apart
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be talking about something that separates the average from the extraordinary, challenging the norms. Let me be real with you. If you're doing whatever else everyone else is doing, you're already losing. You're playing it safe, following the herd, sticking to the script. That's how you blend in, not how you stand out.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Challenging Norms Sets You Apart
Let's talk about why breaking the mold is the key to success here. First, challenging norms forces innovation. The biggest breakthroughs happen when someone says, why are we doing it this way? Think about that. Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, none of these game changers came from following the status quo.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Challenging Norms Sets You Apart
When I transitioned from law enforcement to entrepreneurship, I didn't follow the same path as everyone else. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. I built my business by thinking differently, by asking questions no one else was asking. So if you want to stand out, you got to challenge the way things are done.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Challenging Norms Sets You Apart
Second, it creates your own lane. So here's the thing. When you challenge norms, you stop competing with everyone else. You actually carve out your own space. That's how you become a leader instead of a follower. People aren't drawn to copycats. They're drawn to originals. So you gotta stop worrying about what others think and start building something unique for yourself.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Challenging Norms Sets You Apart
And lastly, challenging norms attracts the right people. When you push your boundaries, you attract others who think big, who want more, and who are willing to take risk. These are the people who will elevate your business and your life. But it starts with you having the courage to step outside the box. So if you want to stand out with the greats, you got to act like one.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be talking about a truth that most people in business overlook. Why being real beats strategy every single time. Look, strategy is important, but if your audience doesn't believe in you, no amount of planning will save you. People don't just buy what you sell, they buy into who you are. So let's go ahead and break this down. First, being real builds trust.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Authenticity Beats Strategy Every Time
In a world full of fake smiles, over-edited content, and empty promises, being real is rare. That makes this powerful.

The realness resonated with my people.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

When people trust you, they'll stick with you no matter what. Second, being real makes you stand out. Let's face it, the business world is crowded, guys.

That's just the reality of the game. But being true to yourself never goes out of style.

The Difference Between Visionaries and Dreamers
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be diving into a topic that separates those who talk about success from those who actually achieve it. The difference between visionaries and dreamers. Let me tell you, dreamers are everywhere, but visionaries, they're the ones who make things happen. So let's break down the key differences on how you can shift from dreaming to building.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Difference Between Visionaries and Dreamers
First, dreamers talk, visionaries act. Dreamers love to imagine the possibilities, but they rarely move beyond that. Visionaries, on the other hand, take those dreams and turn them into action plans. When I started my first business, I didn't just sit around and think about what I wanted to do. I took the steps to make it happen. Ideas are worthless without execution.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Difference Between Visionaries and Dreamers
Second, dreamers crave perfection. Visionaries embrace progression. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. Dreamers get stuck waiting for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or the perfect opportunity. Visionaries know there's no such thing as perfect. They start where they are and they improve along the way.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Difference Between Visionaries and Dreamers
When I transitioned from law enforcement to entrepreneurship, I didn't have everything figured out, but I started anyways. Visionaries know progression beats perfection every single time. Lastly, visionaries inspire action in others. Dreamers often keep their ideas to themselves, but visionaries share their vision and rally others to join the mission.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Make Your First Million Without Fancy Tools
So let's get into it. First, you gotta focus on the fundamentals. Before I built multiple businesses, guys, I started small. My first side hustle didn't have flashy marketing or cutting edge technology. I used what I had, my knowledge, my drive, and a phone that makes calls, okay? And my feet. The key to master the basics, you gotta know your product.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

Momentum is like a muscle. It weakens if you stop using it. Success doesn't care about how hard you worked last week. It cares about what you're doing today. That's why I'm relentless, guys. Whether it's 5 a.m. grinding sessions or late night strategy calls, I keep the ball rolling. Consistency isn't just key. It's non-negotiable. Finally, eliminate anything that slows you down.

Businesses that thrive long-term aren't just about profits. They're about purpose.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Purpose-Driven Businesses Thrive
When you build with a mission in mind, you attract better people, create more impact, and grow in ways that pure profit-driven businesses can't. So let's get into it. First, purpose creates loyalty. When your business stands out for something bigger than just making money, people notice that. Whether it's your customers or your team, people are drawn to businesses with a mission.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Purpose-Driven Businesses Thrive
Second, purpose fuels perseverance. Let's be real here. Look, business isn't easy. There are going to be hard days, there's gonna be setbacks, and the moments you feel like giving up, But when you're driven by something bigger than yourself, bigger than money, quitting isn't an option. Purpose gives you the energy to push through when profits alone won't.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Purpose-Driven Businesses Thrive
When you have a mission, you'll find the strength to keep going. Lastly, purpose makes you different. In a crowded marketplace, purpose... sets you apart. Anyone can sell a product or service, but not everyone can make people feel special. When your business is built on a mission, it resonates on a deeper level. People don't just buy what you sell, they buy why you sell it.

The Real Cost of Chasing Perfection
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be diving into a mindset killer that's holding way too many people back, chasing perfection. So here's the truth, guys. Perfection is a myth. The cost of chasing it isn't just wasted time. It's actually wasted opportunities, lost momentum, and dreams left on the shelf.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Real Cost of Chasing Perfection
Look, let's talk about why chasing perfection is the quickest way to stall your progression and how to break free from that. So first things first, guys, perfection delays action.

But every time you stop to tweak, overthink, or obsess over the details, you're slowing yourself down, guys. Successful entrepreneurs don't chase perfection. They actually chase progression. Small, consistent wins will get you farther than trying to be perfect at something, guys, before it ever hits the market. And look, this is the most important part of this pod right now.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Real Cost of Chasing Perfection
Perfection is fear in disguise. Let's be honest here. Most people chase perfection because they're really just scared, scared of failure, scared of judgment, scared of not being good enough. But here's the thing. You'll never know if you're good enough unless you put yourself out there. So success rewards the bold, not the perfect guys.

What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be diving into the cold, hard truth about business. If you ignore market changes, you're already falling behind. The market doesn't care about your comfort zone, your current success, or your past wins. It's consistently evolving. If you're not paying attention, the cost can be catastrophic.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Cost of Ignoring Market Changes
So let's talk about how to stay ahead. First, ignoring market changes leads to irrelevance. Think about companies that refuse to adapt. You remember Blockbuster? Anyone? No, they had a chance to pivot, but they ignored the rise of streaming services. The results, they got crushed. In today's world, if you're not evolving with the market, someone else is.

Lastly, ignoring the market is expensive.

Why Most Marketing Fails and How to Fix It
you're selling to no one, guys. Early in my career, I learned that clarity beats creativity every single time.

So you gotta dial that in, guys, on who you're serving, and your marketing will resonate.

Second, people focus too much on features and not enough on value. Nobody cares about the specs on your product or your service.

You need a system to follow up emails, calls, DMs, whatever it takes guys.

That's a loser mentality. When I left law enforcement and started building businesses, I didn't go around asking for handouts. I showed up, added value, and I provided my worth. You wanna open doors?

So let me tell you why systems are the backbone of every great business. First, systems give you freedom.

Why Systems Are the Silent Heroes of Success
The game changed when I put systems in places, automations, processes, and delegation. With systems, your business actually works even when you don't. Systems make scaling possible. So if your business depends on you to be involved in every single detail, you're going to hit a ceiling pretty fast.

Knowing when to quit can actually be one of the biggest wins in your life and in business. The truth is success isn't just about working hard. It's about knowing where to focus your energy. So let's break that down.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Knowing When to Quit Can Be a Win
First, quitting doesn't mean giving up. It actually means letting go of what's holding you back. I've started ventures that didn't pan out, but instead of clinging to something that wasn't working, guys, I learned to pivot. When I transitioned out of law enforcement, it wasn't because I was running away.

Why Knowing When to Quit Can Be a Win
But ask yourself this question, is this getting me closer to where I wanna be? If the answer is no, it's actually time to move on. Quitting the wrong thing makes room for the right thing.

Building passive income takes strategy, patience, and the right mindset. So let's get into it. First, you gotta start out with simplicity. People think passive income needs to be overcomplicated.

You place credit card terminals, you earn residual income, and every time a customer swipes, that model still generates income for me to this day.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be talking about something that separates the seasoned entrepreneurs from the short-term thinkers, how to create success in every season of business. Whether you're in the startup grind, scaling phase, or maintaining your empire, every season requires a different mindset and strategy. So let's talk about how to navigate them all like a pro.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Create Success in Every Season of Business
First, you got to embrace the grind of the early days. When you're just starting out, it's about the hustle. You're building the foundation. You're wearing every hat and you're learning as you go. In this season, success comes from action. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. Taking risk. failing fast, and pushing through the noise.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Create Success in Every Season of Business
When I launched my first business, there were no shortcuts, just grit, long hours, and belief in the vision. If you're in this phase, remember, the grind doesn't last forever, but the lessons do. Second, focus on systems during the scaling phase. Once you gain your traction, it's time to shift from hustling to building. Create systems that allow your business to grow without burning you out.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Create Success in Every Season of Business
Hire the right people, delegate tasks, and let automation do the heavy lifting. Scaling isn't about doing more, it's about doing smarter. And lastly, stay innovative in the maintenance phase. When your business is running smoothly, it's easy to get complacent. Don't. This is when you double down on innovation, reinvest in your team, and keep evolving.

People go ahead and they invest $5,000, and then they give up. Yeah. They invest $5,000 into a niche or a program to learn either real estate or Amazon or Forex or ATMs or credit card processing.

Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner

Simple, right? Yeah. So around this time, okay, you made $3,500. What year is it? Is this still, you're still 18 or? This, yep, I'm 18. So this is 21. Okay, so 2021 towards the end of the pandemic. Okay, so you make the $3,500. Now what happens next?

Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner
So let me ask you real quick, man. What does it take? because I'm pretty sure people are listening to this, you're probably going to have quite a few people that are in sales right now. And they're probably like scratching their head. They're like, dude, how is it possible that you went from 35 to then 8,000 to then 16,000 and then ultimately 45, 65 before you transition to an executive?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner
Yeah, that makes sense, man. So you going into an executive role, was it like... Did the glove fit right away, man? Or did you have any issues with being an executive and managing people? Because I've built multiple eight-figure companies. I've helped other entrepreneurs build their seven, eight, and even nine-figure companies. And to me, it ultimately comes down to a couple things.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner
Culture, who you're working with. and then the leadership. And that's mainly the key elements to building a great company. So to you, was it like the right fit right away or did you have to learn to lead by example?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner
Yeah, no, absolutely, man. I mean, you're crushing it, obviously. Like I said, I usually just invite people that I actually know personally, and I know they're the real deal. So with that being said, all right, so you're managing this team. It's an eight-figure team. How long do you do that for? Yep, so as the sales director, about three months. Three months. Yep.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner
Yeah. No, 100%. I agree with that. I agree with that. Okay. So let me ask you, man. Did people hold your age against you? I mean, you're managing a bunch of 30-year-olds. Well, people about to be 30-year-olds. I'm pretty sure some of them were over 30. Did you ever have people just look at you and be like, dude, this kid's 19. What does he know?

I would say north of 2,000. Okay. So out of those thousands of applicants that you've actually hired, because we know in sales there's a huge turnover. It's not meant for everybody. But for the people that stay and do extremely well. Yeah. What do they all have in common when it comes to being a great sales guy or gal?

Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
My name is Paul Alex, and today we have a special guest. Okay, our special guest, she goes by the name of Brittany Charm. Now, for all my ladies out there, and even some men, you guys are having issues with dating in 2025. Well, look, red pill, blue pill, it doesn't matter what type of pill you are.

So what you're saying is, People, whether it's men and women, they have too high of an expectation nowadays.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
Okay. And, you know, I guess, like, we always have this conversation. So I guess the thought process of, you know, back in the day, you know, when we were in our local towns, all right? And this is not to talk shit about townies, but it is what it is. And you move to a large metropolitan city like Miami or possibly San Diego, right? Now you're exposed to...
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
beautiful people you're exposed to other people that are either a high level or they live a ridiculous lifestyle and now you have more competition but but i think what you're saying is now in the online space you are open to the entire world
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
Yeah. Yeah. No, that that makes a lot of sense. And, you know, it comes with the whole red pill, blue pill movement. And I always tell people this is like, you know, I actually know quite a few of those podcasters that do like the whole red pill, blue pill thing. And they're great guys. They're great guys. Nothing against them.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
But I think what, you know, they need to clarify is, you know, the people that are watching this. these influencers and content creators, um, they're not at that stage of the game where they can just go blatantly, just go ahead and down anyone because they haven't made it to that point in life where they've achieved greatness. Right. So no, I, I totally agree.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
So my followup question would be, do you do, I know you teach women, okay. Um, how to find high value men, okay? And some men, they might go ahead and be like, what? Like, what do you mean? Because I feel like there's a lot of women in the online space, essentially that, you know, try to attract high value men, but they're like OnlyFans creators. So is that what you're doing?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm

The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
Oh, goodness. Hey, that's why we're married, guys, because we're able to have conversations like this, husband and wife, right? Yeah. So, okay. Now, to go back to your original answer, which I like because, you know, you're articulating yourself well, and I think anybody that's listening to this, they're probably like, damn, she makes a point. But...
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
I sort of want to counter what you said about, you know, men that are looking at a woman of certain status. I feel as men, let's say, for example, we all know that men at their prime are in their 30s. Correct. That's when men develop mentally. They're going to be in the best financial state majority of the time. I'm not saying all the time, guys, but majority of the time they will. And then...
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
For majority of men, right, I feel like they had a disadvantage probably in their teenage years or in their 20s trying to impress girls their age when girls are at their peak, right? And typically, from what I recall, you know, I would have friends be like, yeah, she likes older guys. Even though I never had that problem. But they're like older guys. And I'm like, okay.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
So I see the red pill, blue pill stuff now. And I see kids in their 20s and in their teenage years. And they're like, oh, girls like dudes my age. Like in their 30s, in their 40s now. And I get it because it's the money, their maturity. And the younger generation thinks that guys my age are ready to settle down with them.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
So my question to you is, if a guy has been going through it with females and let's say they weren't the best looking guy, they weren't in shape in their 20s and they're going into their 30s and now they're ultra successful. I like to I like to compare this to what's that famous actor, Michael B. Jordan. Is that what his name is? Yeah. Yeah, from Creed, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
We always have these discussions about, you know, why relationships don't work. which mainly comes out to communication comes down to you know people having issues but brittany for people that don't know you okay um tell us a little bit about yourself your background

The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
Right, but let me explain it. So she used to pick on him in high school, used to call him a nerd, and then he's in his prime. He just did Creed 2 or whatever. She's like, hey, you know, how does it feel to be on the top of your game as, like, one of the most popular actors, right? Yeah. And he was just like, oh, it feels good. But yeah, you remember you were talking shit, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
So I feel for like majority of the guys that are making real money, especially because we're out here in Miami and everybody got money out here. It's like, why would a guy that has suffered in his 20s and his 18s?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025 FT. Brittany Charm
by getting alienated by let's say beautiful women or the top tier women in their teenage years and in their 20s go ahead and give those women now that are the same age as them the opportunity because to be honest i mean i've never had issues with women but if i was one of these guys that was like no disrespect but a nerd or you know didn't get chicks when when they were young

From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
You could be in real estate, you could be a plumber, you could be an electrician, which is big right now. Those businesses, they're huge right now because all the boomers are leaving, right? So you need new operators. Are you college kids out there? To go ahead and take over those businesses. But here's the thing. Majority of those boomers, dude, remember your ex-partners or your ex-bosses?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
Dude, they're boomers. They didn't think, hey, dude, let's pivot to social media and market the shit out of our business and then expand, dude. Everybody has a phone. Everybody has a phone. You know, you can get in front of people, but you got to be smart, dude. That was a great move, bro.

From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
I like to call that lean and mean. Lean and mean, yeah. Which is good. That's how you're built. And one thing that I can relate to you, bro, is that you build a culture. You build the vision and you lead by example. You know, you took care of your people even though there was no income coming in.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
Majority of new business owners, you know, they get the million dollars and everybody's like, oh my God, million dollars. What do a lot of the younger business owners do nowadays? They end up taking the profit and spending it on stupid shit, right? And that's how you run out of business the fastest way, guys. Don't do that. Reinvest in your business like Eddie, okay?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
And then you can scale up to 20 million. So, okay, cool. All right, so you went ahead, you're inspiring these operators and you're making them minority partners. How does that look like? So let's say, you know, I see you on Instagram, okay? And I'm like, hey dude, I just graduated from culinary school, I'm hungry, I'm young, I'm like 20, 21, I wanna be a minority operator.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
To be honest, guys, I think that is the biggest key takeaway here. If you're listening on Apple, Spotify, or you're watching this on YouTube, the biggest key takeaway is it's not the money when you initially start in business. It's actually the mental assets that you consume. Just like you said, dude, you guys are baby sharks.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
You guys are consuming everybody from the different entrepreneurs and networks that you're in right now. Everybody that's like my age or in their 40s. And dude, you're going to be amazing.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
And it's easier. Yeah, it's easier. It's easier to learn than have somebody that came from an existing business that probably didn't know what they were doing or probably failed. And they bring those bad habits. They absorb everything. Exactly. Because you're the expert.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
Dude, that's awesome, dude. You know, we might have to talk after this. But no, I totally get it. And, you know, in business, man, I mean, this is for me, like having able to employ, you know, gratefully over 200 people in the past four years is that, you know, one thing that I learned is it's hard to find people that are passionate.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
You know, you want to be able to find and groom people and basically make them a copy of you. Exactly.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
And have the same heart, culture, drive, passion. Because at the end of the day, what grows the businesses? Conviction. Conviction. You know, you got to be like, we're the best. And we're like, but nobody knows you, but we're still the best. Right. And that's just the way it goes, dude. So let me ask you, man. Okay. So Hibachi. to food trucks, catering.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise
that they need to focus on the main bread and butter. You know, it happened to me last year, dude. I was running two eight-figure companies. I was running a high six-figure company.

How to Engineer Success Without Burnout
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be tackling a challenge that almost every entrepreneur faces, how to engineer success without burning out. Let me tell you something. Success is not about working yourself into the ground. It's about working smart, staying focused, and creating a system that lets you win without losing yourself in the process. So let's break it down.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Engineer Success Without Burnout
First, define what success means to you. If you're chasing someone else's definition of success, you're gonna burn out trying to keep up. For me, success wasn't just about money. It was about freedom, time freedom, freedom to control my time, take care of my family, and build something meaningful. When your goals align with your values, the grind feels worth it every single time.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Engineer Success Without Burnout
Second, you gotta focus on setting up your priority goals. Burnout happens when you're trying to do everything at once. Newsflash, you can't. Focus on the tasks that actually move the needle. In my businesses, I delegate low value tasks and I focus my energy on high impact decisions. The key to avoiding burnout is knowing where to put your time and energy.

She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
the author to this book, Things I Think About and Other Works. This is your very first book, Nadia? That is my very first book. I love it. I love it. And just to give them the cliff notes about this, anybody that's hearing, listening, watching right now, what is your book about?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Yeah. Situations like that, you know, it's human trafficking has has been around for such a long time. And I think up until recently, they just started coming out with movies like The Sound of Silence or The Sound of Freedom. I'm sorry. And it was regarding HSI, Homeland Security, investigating human trafficking of kids in Columbia.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
And then that's when they made it a big thing here and specifically in Miami. But that's when I found out about it a few years ago. And, you know, you got people on social media talking about, oh, stop human trafficking. But realistically, what are you doing?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Besides making a couple posts on social media while you're comfortable at work while these kids are getting trafficked, right? Are you actively going out there and actually trying to help these kids at group homes? Because that's typically what happens, right? I worked vice for a few months after I came back from Narcotics Task Force back around 2018 to 2019.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
And I saw horrific, I mean, exactly what you were talking about, Nadia. Horrific things. Majority of the prostitution that happens in Oakland Our juveniles, our juveniles, and they're ranging.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
I mean, I never heard 12, which is crazy to me, but I would encounter 15 and up so many times during our operations where they actually look like they're in their 30s because of the makeup, the amount of makeup. But then once you wipe that off and you start asking them questions, they're kids, they're kids. And you're like, where's your mom and your dad? They're like, I haven't seen them in months.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Or they do connect with the mom and the dad, but the mom and dad don't care. Right. And they're usually from another city. Right. Right. So at the end of the day, this has been a big, big problem that I think more resources should be put towards. You know, more resources, more officers, you know, and the politics that plays behind this is insane. I mean, I remember when we were going ahead.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
and doing our operations to get, you know, the pimps, the guys that were actually traffic these young girls into this. And The DA wouldn't prosecute because, why? They're so overloaded with cases. So they have to take the ones where it's basically like a layup of, here, literally, we saw him kidnap her and put her in the car, which never happens. You never see that as a police officer, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
It's usually her word against his. And, yeah, it's just not enough in court. Yeah.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
On a daily. On a daily. On a daily. No, for sure. A hundred percent. I mean, I remember being in field training and during my last week of field training, same situation. We saw a juvenile. She was stripped. She was raped. And she was left in the middle of the street. And we roll up. We're like, what happened? You know, she tells the situation and we'll grab the coat, wrap her up.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
and then, you know, get her some assistance. But at the end of the day, this is something that the media doesn't go ahead and broadcast. You know, it's crazy to me. The amount of illegal activities that happens like this, like human trafficking, the shootings, the murders, it's almost like the politics play a big role to cover this up. So it doesn't scare tourists.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
It doesn't scare businesses from coming into the city until they actually come into the city, they get their businesses burglarized.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
taking advantage of and then they end up going right like majority of what's happening to the Bay Area right now right but man that's that's some insane stuff and you know guys you might be listening to this you're like Paul why are you so calm listening to this guys I was in law enforcement you know I know Nadia for quite a while now so I'm
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with a lot of these things that happen in the world. So, okay, Nadia. So let's go ahead on to the next question. How did you actually, and this is a big question because a lot of people are like, didn't you get PTSD from this, Nadia? Like, how are you like coping with this? So let's go into that. Mental health is huge, especially for first responders.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
So a lot of first responders don't get help until it's like too late. And they're like, dude, like, what am I doing? Right. Almost happened to me where I'm like, what am I doing? Like, I'm killing myself for this job. I'm barely seeing my family. My my relationship at that time was crap. You know, you're just going down a spiral. A black hole, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
And a lot of police officers, they find themselves in the same situation. A lot of people don't talk about the suicide rate with police officers as well, which is huge. And that's something that the media doesn't cover, right? So how did you end up coping with all these events that happen in your life? Because you're seeing stuff that most people in this world will never encounter.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
I love that. I love that. And that's the whole point of this podcast. You know, I tell people, yeah, I... Raising her career, law enforcement, you know, ton of different experiences. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to self-help. You got to motivate people. You got to get the right mindset, right? In order to go ahead and kill it in business, you have to get your mind right.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
And I'm a big believer in that. So let's go ahead and get started. First question. Tell us a little bit about your background, where you come from, what motivated you to even start in the military?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
So, Nadia, thank you for sharing that with us. I mean, that's a crazy, chaotic experience that anybody would go through. During those moments where the suspect was shooting at you in the car, what was your thought process? Were you, like, actually getting shot at? Or, like, you didn't react?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Yeah. You were shocked.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Wow. Yeah. So from there, that incident happens. Does he end up getting arrested? Does he end up getting caught? What was the scenario in there?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Wow. Yeah, I mean, this is an insane story, but it gives me some type of, you know, thought process on back then during the time that that happened with the BLM movement, absolutely everything. And it's just to me, it's crazy how a lot of people in society follow a trend that they know nothing about. Right.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Because with the whole BLM movement, I mean, those founders, they ended up scamming everybody that invested into that organization, right? So, I mean, to have somebody go ahead and be an extremist of an organization like that against the police that actually try to help people is insane to me. But I'm glad things worked out. So after that, did you continue police work? What happened next?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark

She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
So that makes sense why you transitioned into entrepreneurship because I think for most people that do great in entrepreneurship are typically people that have that level of discipline and you have to be proactive and you have to be a self-starter, right? And you also have to take in perfect action. You can't be a perfectionist with this. You know this. 100%.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
And I think it's the same thing being that we both have experience in law enforcement. I mean, in law enforcement, you go to a critical incident, you go to any type of situation, and you got to think on your feet.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Police Academy, yeah. Oakland, they train you on some of the most severe and common, you know, penal codes and crimes that happens in the city of Oakland, right? Like robbery and burglary and, you know, all that stuff. Homicide. And shootings and all that stuff, right? Which is common in Oakland. Yeah, but but at the end of the day you still run into something.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
You may not know that's great, right? So you're able to think on your feet so it makes sense why they call that activity in the military Smoking smoking. Yeah, because they're literally smoking out. Yeah the people that are not built for it. Yes.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Yeah, so let me ask you. So how long did you end up serving? In what? In the military.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
OK. So in law enforcement, how did being a law enforcement officer shape the way you view the world now?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
She is a... Military veteran, former police sergeant, man, has done incredible, incredible things in law enforcement, guys. And now she's a serial entrepreneur going into merchant services, a.k.a. the credit card machine business. Nadia, how are you doing today? I'm doing all right, Paul. Thank you for having me. No, absolutely. And Nadia, I forgot to mention, she is amazing.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Yeah. Yeah. No, absolutely. I remember, you know, I had a very similar feeling towards the middle of my career. And I will always use the concept of just imagine if you were in a boat and you were the only one in that boat and the boat was sinking.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
right the boat's sinking and you're trying to with a bucket go ahead and take out the water and you have a little bit of progression but at the end of the day the water's gonna fill up the boat and i feel like that's how it is to be a police officer specifically in oakland because there's so many good cops that do good great work great work great work and they put their passion into it and they're about it and
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
Man, stories, stories for days. For days. But when it comes down to it, it's just... There's not enough. There's not enough cops. There's not enough support. There's not enough morale. There's not enough people backing up the police. And then people realize now, especially in 2025, they're like, why has crime gone up? Why is there homeless tents everywhere?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
She Protected Lives—Now She’s Changing Them with Business: Special Interview w/ Nadia Clark
What's happening to all the cities now besides Oakland? It's happening all over California and all over the United States. Right. So to go into that, let's go deeper into your career. OK, what was something you would say you witnessed in your law enforcement career that still lives with you till today?

How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together. Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up, everybody, and welcome back to Level Up Podcast.

How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
You don't need to work harder. You need to work smarter. Guys, what's the bottom line here? Hustle is about the journey, but knowledge is about what unlocks the next level. Learn the game, focus on what matters, and never stop investing in yourself. Thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, reminding you that grind smart, not just hard. Use your mind, not just your time.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
My name is Paul Alex, and today I want to drop some hard truth on you. Hustle alone won't make you rich. You could grind 24-7, but if you're not leveraging knowledge, you're just running in circles. The real winners in business aren't just hustlers. They're actual thinkers. They use strategy, skills, and knowledge to multiply their efforts.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
So let's talk about how to stop spinning your wheels and start working smarter. First, learn the game you're playing. When I started my businesses, I didn't just dive in blindly. I studied, I learned how the industries worked, who the players were, and what strategies actually made money. Hustle without knowledge is just wasted energy. If you don't understand the rules, how can you win the game?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. Second, you gotta focus on high leverage activities. There's a difference between being busy and being productive. Busy is answering emails and doing tasks anyone can do. Productive is closing deals, building systems, and scaling your impact. Knowledge helps you identify what actually moves the needle.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Leverage Knowledge Instead of Hustle
The hustle is still there, but it's extremely targeted. It's smart hustle, not blind grind. Lastly, invest in self-education. The best investment you'll ever make isn't in stocks. crypto, or real estate. It's in your own knowledge. Every book, course, or mentor I've invested in has paid off tenfold. Hustle may get you through the door, but knowledge gets you the keys to the building.

Okay, so let's take a step back. and talk about the day that you ordered. So you made the most money in your life, dude. $168,000 in 2020. You went to go meet one of your inspirations, Andy Elliott at the time. You tried getting a job with him.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
He was just like, bro, keep focusing on you first. And then are you still working at the Toyota dealership or did you transition to another dealership?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
So you meet Andy. He tells you to get off the drugs and to come back when you're clean, basically. And then you go back to the dealership. The day that you overdosed, what did you overdose on? Fentanyl. Fentanyl. Okay. Let me ask you. How was it possible, and I say this respectfully, man, how is it possible for you to be a functioning drug addict at that time? Like, dude, you're making money.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
There's a lot of people in the United States that are gonna watch this right now, and they're gonna be like, bro, I make $50,000, I'm a lazy piece of shit. But this guy was using drugs and still killing it in sales. Can you explain to us, like, what was your thought process? What were you feeling, dude? Like, was it because it was pure addiction for the drug?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
And, like, just walk us through that thought process.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Do you believe it was because of the environment that you were in during that time? Like friends, being in Florida?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
No, you got blessed, dude, because I'm going to tell you this, man. One of the critical incidents that I had, and it's not to go into your story, but I had a fellow police officer during a raid that we did with this cocaine dealer get hit with a ton of fentanyl that the guy was using. And it took three days. Narcans.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Okay, Narcans, if you guys don't know what Narcan is, it's basically an antidote to help you when you overdose on an opiate, like fentanyl, okay? Just a small grain of fentanyl can kill you, okay? It touches your skin, you inhale it. Dude, it's... The shit that the medical staff at any hospital numbs you with for surgery, for everything, for dental, all that stuff.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Yeah. It was your second chance.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
And for everybody listening and watching right now, the twins, when Tommy's referring to them, they're two great entrepreneurs. They're the vice president of co-presidents of the Elliott Group now with Andy Elliott. And they're great guys. You know, I always say what's up to them. You know, we chit chat whenever we're at the events. But good guys. You work side by side with them.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
And this is from being an illegal in the United States, having good grades, trying to live the American dream, but not being able to, not being able to have a driver's license, not being able to have the same opportunities as people who are born here. Like myself, dude, I was born here. I was blessed to be born here. My parents, they came from Peru, they came from Mexico, they worked hard.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
And that's who the twins are just for clarity purposes, guys. Okay, cool. So you move out there. How long until you actually start working with Andy? Like what was the actual transition? He didn't know we were there. Okay.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

It's pretty impressive, man, because, you know, the events that I've been to at Andy Elliott's facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, and you guys, man, you guys are squared away. You guys remind me of good old days when I was in law enforcement. All my buddies that were like in the military, very, very paramilitary. Like, hey, no joke. You guys are going to get it done. And I like that style.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Not everybody does, but I like that style, right? And with your guys' organization, I mean, what are you guys doing as far as numbers right now? As of right now, we're doing about $300,000 to $500,000 a day. Okay. $300,000 to $500,000? $300,000 to $500,000. $500,000 a day.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Okay. And that's gross revenue because you're going to get people on here. You know how the internet is. You got the haters and then you got the people that love you. So just for clarity purposes, that's gross profit, guys. It's very doable to do this, especially when you have a phenomenal team.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
This is me coming from being in law enforcement to actually going ahead and building two eight-figure companies and a six-figure company. And I've also helped dozens of entrepreneurs do that. So when Tommy's saying $300,000 to $500,000 in sales and gross revenue, it's very possible. There are people here in Miami that make $20 million a month. And this just depends on what you do.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
If you're selling extremely high ticket, you know, like there's a couple guys online right now that are selling like private jets. And they only have clienteles that are billionaires. I mean, ultimately, they're bringing in what? 50 million a month, right? And they're making crazy money.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
But for the average person, before I got into entrepreneurship, and I'm sure before you got into entrepreneurship, this was unheard of, bro.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
I'm such a big believer, dude, especially being a full time entrepreneur for the past four years now. I focus on just basically social media marketing because number one is the path of least resistance. You can take an average person like myself. like Tommy and you could go viral with just one reel. And then all of a sudden that jump starts you and jump starts your business.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
And that can be for any entrepreneur out there, but you have to be willing to go ahead and put yourself out there. Right. And that's what Andy did. Andy put the content out there. He, um, uh, Focused on sales, niche down, which is super smart, dude. Like that's very smart.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Like right now, guys, if you guys are trying to figure it out where you're trying to break into the online space or you want to be like an influencer or a consultant or a business coach, you know, there's a lot of people that make fun of people out there because they think they don't know what they're talking about.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
But when you niche down to a specific industry like auto sales, like with me, I started with ATMs. I was known as the ATM guy, right? Hey, that's the ATM guy, right? Andy, he was known as a car sales guy. But then once you guys reach a certain plateau within the niche, right? Like you killed it. Then you could go ahead and go with, right? And grow the company into multiple different divisions.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Which is what you guys have been able to execute in perfect action, man. I love it. I can relate so much to going ahead and starting with an Excel file. I can relate so much to starting with a notepad because that's how I started. One of my businesses reached 2 million the first year back in 2021.

We had a small office and, uh, Hey, we were just gung ho about growing a business, right? The startup mode, right? We're hungry. We were hungry, right? Because when it's everything new, it's everything. It's exciting. And you want to go build this, this new venture. And then now you get a little bit more money that you're not used to.

And then you're connecting with so many people and you're changing their lives and you're getting that fulfillment. which is cool, right? Compared to making a lot of money on the nine to five.

I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
Well, dude, you didn't take... I was an overcomer. I was going to say, you're an overcomer, dude. You didn't lay down and just go ahead and had a victim mindset once you got a one single roadblock or a single no, right? And when in sales, you have to have tough skin.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich
In sales, you have to be... I'm not going to say aggressive, but you have to be able to hang in there because a lot of this is psychology, right? So... You did that. And then how did you actually connect with Andy?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
I Overdosed and Became a Millionaire FT. Thomas Procopovich

Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
and eventually it all tanked yeah but i moved on to better things from there so from from doing that which is very interesting man because that just shows you how resilient and how much thought you can go ahead and just create a business like that like i never thought that you could broker a security job from another company and then brokered that. That's amazing.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
Yeah, no, that's awesome, man. I love that. I love that. So the big question is, how did you transition from doing those two industries to now going into the dating coach realm? I know you said you've been working on it, but haven't really been putting it out there yet. And now you're going full force. So how exactly did you get into that niche?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
Oh, that's phenomenal, man. I mean, you know, if people need a trainer for fitness, why wouldn't they need a trainer for dating or to level themselves up, right? Like their image, their appearance. And sometimes they need that person that has that level of experience, just like you to go ahead and tell them like, Hey dude, you got to drop some weight. You got to go ahead and fix the way you look.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
Right. and um man what what's interesting man is i think making the move down here in miami from la it's going to be the perfect perfect opportunity for you especially because there's so much people out here that are looking for those specific things um the other thing is when i was around 18 dude i'm 37 right now but when i was 18 i was actually a nightclub promoter for six years
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
So, so, so I remember like back in my promoting days, you know, as a promoter, obviously we would pack the parties thousand people on a Saturday night. Right. And one of our, I guess, strategies was, hey, let like the first hundred girls in for free, right? And then promote it on the flyers and all that. And it worked. It worked like a gem, dude.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
But that would drive all the men to come into, right? Because they see like a line full of girls trying to get in there before 10 p.m. It's just like, dude, that concept. Now you're making money off of promoting and making these restaurants and these places these parties, these nightclubs, just fill them in with hot girls and you get paid for that.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
Dude, that's awesome. Like the transition from like military to entrepreneurship, you know, I had a couple of guests that were also, um, Marine veterans. One of my COOs, he's actually started his new company. It's called crypto for beginners, but he's also in the same position as, uh, as you were, uh, yeah. Like,

It's, it's, it's one of the things that I love about, you know, anybody that was in the military, anybody that was in law enforcement and then just for first responders in general, um, Um, but like, dude, I also heard in the news that there was like a ton of like looters. Is that right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
From the military, what basically pushed you to entrepreneurship, dude? Because typically, let's keep it real. You're in the military for 10 years and you live a lifestyle that is almost like a monk that most people don't want to live. And then they go out of the military and then they go into law enforcement usually. Yeah.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
That's horrible, man. That's horrible. But, um, good thing you went out there, man. I mean, it shows a lot shows what type of person you are, dude. You're still willing to, you know, help the community. And, uh, obviously that comes back from your background and dude, I'm the same way. I'm the same way, dude.

A lot of people got dogs during that time. I remember because that's when I moved to San Diego. But dude, that's very inspiring.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Marine Recon to Millionaire Matchmaker: JD’s Wild Journey to Success
And the reason why I say that, JD, is because, you know, I've talked to hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs that want to start a business. But the number one thing that I see the roadblock with entrepreneurs is is personal. It's personal. It's not the money, dude, because we can all find money. If I was to give you a Ferrari and be like, hey, JD, give me $100,000 for this $500,000 Ferrari.

Why Calculated Risks Set You Apart
Bottom line here, calculated risks are what sets the greats apart. They prepare, they step up, and they don't let fear hold them back. If you want to level up in life and in business, you have to take the shot, guys. But make sure it's the right one. Thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, reminding you that fortune favors the bold, but only if the bold comes prepared.

Why Calculated Risks Set You Apart
What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex and today we're talking about one of the biggest differences between those who stay average and those who actually want to level up. Taking calculated risk. Let's be real here. Success doesn't come to those who play it safe. But here's the catch.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Calculated Risks Set You Apart
It's about knowing when to take the shot and how to stack the odds in your favor. So let's break it down. First, calculated risks aren't about luck. They're actually about preparation. Before I left law enforcement to dive into entrepreneurship, I didn't just wake up one day and say, hey, let's roll the dice.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Calculated Risks Set You Apart
I actually researched, I planned, and I surrounded myself with people who had done it before. So preparation turns risk into opportunities. If you're not doing the work behind the scenes, you're actually gambling. You're not taking a calculated risk. Second, calculated risks separate you from the crowd.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Calculated Risks Set You Apart
Most people are too scared to step outside their comfort zone, and that's why they stay stuck in life. When you're willing to take a chance on an idea, a business, or even yourself, you're already ahead of 90% of the people. Playing small keeps you safe, but it also keeps you invisible. Lastly, failure is part of the process. Even calculated risks don't always work out, and that's okay.

And every attempt brings you closer to the win. The key is to learn, adjust, and keep moving. Calculated risk builds resilience and pave the way to success. So what's the bottom line?

Why the Best Ideas Are Often the Simplest
But in reality, and based on my experience, simplicity equals success, and simplicity wins, guys, every single time. Let's talk about why simplicity is the greatest weapon in business.

The best businesses solve a clear everyday problem.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be talking about a truth that every great leader understands. Leadership. Leadership is a daily practice. Let me tell you something. Leadership isn't a title, and it's definitely not something that you master once and forget about it. Leadership is about showing up every single day, even when it's hard, even when no one's watching.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Leadership is a Daily Practice
So let's break down why consistency and leadership is the key to success here. First, leadership is built on trust, and trust is earned daily. You don't earn people's respect because of a title or a position. You actually earn it through your actions. When I transitioned from corporate America to law enforcement and then finally full-time entrepreneurship, I was running multiple businesses.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Leadership is a Daily Practice
I knew my team wasn't going to follow me just because I was the CEO and founder. I had to prove it every single day that I had their back, that I was committed to the vision. Your actions, not your words, define your leadership here. Lead by example. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, OfficialPaulAlex.com for more motivational episodes. Second, leadership means showing up.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why Leadership is a Daily Practice
Even on the tough days, guys, it's easy to be a great leader when everything's going right, but the real test is how you lead when things get hard. Are you staying calm under pressure? Are you finding solutions instead of excuses? Your team takes cues from you. So if you're inconsistent, guess what? They're gonna be inconsistent too. Leadership is a daily habit, not a once in a while effort.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be tackling a challenge that every entrepreneur faces at some point, how to keep scaling your business without burning out.

You can't level up your business if you're breaking yourself down in the process.

How to Keep Scaling Without Burning Out
It wasn't sustainable. The key is to trust your team and empower them to take ownership. You gotta hire the right people. You gotta train them well. You gotta let them handle the day-to-day. Your energy should be focused on growth, not every single detail. Second, protect your time and energy. Scaling doesn't mean working 24-7. It means working smarter. Time block your day.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Keep Scaling Without Burning Out
Put priority to the most impactful task. And don't be afraid to say no to distractions. Remember, you can't pour into your business if your tank is empty. Take breaks, exercise, and make time for family. It's not optional, it's essential. And lastly, you gotta focus on systems, not just effort. Hustling is great for getting started, but scaling requires system. Automate what you can.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Build a Brand People Love to Share
So let's break down how to make that happen. First, make your brand about them, not you. People don't share brands because of the logo or the tagline. They share because of how that brand makes them feel or solves their problem. When I built my businesses, I focused on serving people first. I made sure my brand wasn't about me. It was about the transformation my customers could experience.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Build a Brand People Love to Share
But when your brand becomes their story, They're gonna share it for you guys. Second, deliver value that exceeds expectations. Look, if you want people to rave about your brand, you can't just meet expectations. You have to blow them out the water, whether it's your product, your service, or customer service. Give them a reason to say, you've gotta check this out. People don't share average, guys.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Build a Brand People Love to Share
They share amazing. So remember this. You gotta over-deliver. And they're gonna do the marketing for you. And lastly, create a sense of belonging, culture. Brands that thrive create communities. People love to feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves. You gotta build a movement. Give them something to rally behind, guys, and watch how quickly they'll bring others into the fold.

And I always tell people this, it's like, You know, I actually know quite a few of those podcasters that do like the whole red pill, blue pill thing. And they're great guys. They're great guys. Nothing against them.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
But I think what, you know, they need to clarify is, you know, the people that are watching these influencers and content creators, they're not at that stage of the game where they can just go blatantly, just go ahead and down anyone because they haven't made it to that point in life. where they've achieved greatness, right? So, no, I totally agree.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
So, my follow-up question would be, I know you teach women, okay, how to find high-value men, okay? And some men, they might go ahead and be like, what? Like, what do you mean? Because I feel like there's a lot of women in the online space, essentially, that try to attract high-value men, but they're like OnlyFans creators. So is that what you're doing?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
I mean, that makes sense. So two follow-up questions that I have for you is, I know that you just explained to us exactly like the type of woman that you actually help. But are you telling me that, like, let's say, for example, you have a woman who works at Walmart, okay? It's not a high-paying job. They're working retail. Are you saying they don't deserve to find love?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
corporate meetings or the events that uh these types of men have and if you're there you can't talk about you know the clients that you have at walmart it's not a common ground so what if what have you got like a supermodel working at walmart like you don't you don't think a pretty girl got an advantage over somebody who's more highly successful but let's say they're not a looker
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
what are you trying to do besides government work and she's like you know what i really try to help help women like in the dating space because there's so many women out there trying to be boss babes and talking up and complaining about you know men and all that and we always have these discussions right we always have these discussions about you know uh why relationships don't work
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
Okay. So that's like basically the new term now is what the kids are saying?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
months or even years she feels like she's in a relationship when really he's just using her body like you know he's swiping a credit card you know what this reminds me of it reminds me of that movie uh bridesmaid you know with that with that uh the main star and then she's she's over there in bed with uh you know the side dude with the porsche exactly porsche and and he's just like gotta go like you know
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
That's hella funny. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Anyways, anyways. Oh, goodness. Hey, that's why we're married, guys, because we're able to have conversations like this, husband and wife, right? Yeah. So, okay.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
Now, to go back to your original answer, which I like because, you know, you're articulating yourself well, and I think anybody that's listening to this, they're probably like, damn, she makes a point. But...
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
sort of want to counter what you said about you know men that are looking at a woman of certain status I feel as men let's say for example we all know that men at their prime are in their 30s that's when men develop mentally they have they're gonna be in the best financial state majority of the time I'm not saying all the time guys but majority of time they will and then
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
For majority of men, right, I feel like they had a disadvantage probably in their teenage years or in their 20s trying to impress girls their age when girls are at their peak, right? And typically, from what I recall, you know, I would have friends be like, yeah, she likes older guys. you know, even though I never had that problem, but they're like older guys. And I'm like, okay.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
So I know I see the red pill, blue pill stuff now. And I see kids in their twenties and their teenage years. And they're like, oh, girls like, you know, dudes my age, like in their thirties and their forties now. And I get it because it's the money, their maturity. And, you know, the younger generation thinks that guys my age are ready to settle down with them.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
So my question to you is, if a guy has been going through it with females, and let's say they weren't the best looking guy, they weren't in shape in their 20s, and they're going into their 30s, and now they're ultra successful. I like to compare this to, what's that famous actor, Michael B. Jordan? Is that what his name is? Yeah. Yeah, from Creed, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex

The dude, like, you remember when that host on the red carpet was picked?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
Right, but let me explain it. So she used to pick on him in high school, used to call him a nerd, and then he's in his prime. He just did Creed, Creed II or whatever. She's like, hey, you know, how does it feel to be on the top of your game as, like, one of the most popular actors, right? Yeah. And he was just like, oh, it feels good. But yeah, you remember you were talking shit, right?
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
So I feel for like majority of the guys that are making real money, especially because we're out here in Miami and everybody got money out here. It's like, why would a guy that has suffered in his 20s and his 18s
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
which mainly comes down to communication, comes down to, you know, people having issues. But Brittany, for people that don't know you, okay, tell us a little bit about yourself, your background.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Only Dating Advice You Need in 2025
by getting alienated by let's say beautiful women or the top tier women in their teenage years and in their 20s go ahead and give those women now that are the same age as them the opportunity because to be honest i mean i've never had issues with women but if i was one of these guys that was like no disrespect but a nerd or you know didn't get chicks when when they were young

The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
Focus on the transformation, the results, or the problem you're solving. When people see the value, they stop questioning the price. Price becomes secondary when the perceived value is sky high. So what's the bottom line here? Pricing isn't just about covering costs. It's actually about creating a perception of value that maximizes profit.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
You gotta position your offer right, provide values, and focus on transformation. That's how you win, guys, and that's how you build a successful business.

The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
My name is Paul Alex, and today we're going to be diving into a topic that can transform your business overnight, the psychology of pricing and how to maximize your profit. Let me tell you, pricing isn't just about numbers. It's actually about perception. So if you understand how people think, you can actually position your product or service to feel irresistible while increasing your bottom line.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
So let's break it down. First, people associate price with value. If your pricing is too low, customers will assume your product isn't worth much. On the flip side, When you position your offer as premium, people expect quality and they're willing to pay for it. When I started offering high ticket coaching programs, I realized that charging more actually attracted more serious clients.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
The right price doesn't just sell, it actually builds trust and credibility. Second, offer tiered pricing. This is actually a game changer. When you provide multiple pricing options, like a basic premium and an elite package, you let your customer choose what fits their needs. But here's the trick. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, OfficialPaulAlex.com for more motivational episodes.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Psychology of Pricing and Maximizing Profit
Most people will gravitate towards the middle option because they actually feel safe. So that's why you position your most profitable package in the middle tier. Psychologically, it feels like the best deal. Lastly, Highlight the value, not the cost. Don't just tell people what they're paying for. Show them what they're getting in return.

Why the Best Ideas Are Often the Simplest
What's up, everybody, and welcome back to Love All Podcasts. I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be breaking down a truth that most people overlook. The best ideas are often the simplest. Here's the thing. Too many entrepreneurs overcomplicate everything, thinking the more complex the idea, the more valuable it is.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Best Ideas Are Often the Simplest
But in reality, and based on my experience, simplicity equals success, and simplicity wins, guys, every single time. Let's talk about why simplicity is the greatest weapon in business. First, simple ideas are easy to understand and execute. Look, if your idea takes 30 minutes to explain, you've already lost your audience. You've lost meals. The best businesses solve a clear, everyday problem.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Best Ideas Are Often the Simplest
Think about it. Amazon started by selling books online. My businesses, they focus on residual income through credit card processing. A simple, scalable concept that anyone can grasp.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Best Ideas Are Often the Simplest
Complexity creates bottlenecks, guys. When your business is built around something overly complicated, it's harder to replicate, teach, or scale. Simplicity creates clarity, and clarity leads to growth. The simpler the idea, the easier it is to multiply your results, guys. And lastly, Simplicity drives focus. When you strip down an idea to its core, you can actually eliminate distractions.

Ask them about their goals, their challenges, what they really need in life or that business opportunity. The more you listen, the easier it is to position your product or service as a solution.

So let me break it down for you. First, lead with value, not the pitch. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. People don't want to hear about what you're selling, which is the vehicle. They want to know how the vehicle helps them. When I started my businesses, I just didn't throw out products or services. I actually listened to my customers.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
How to Sell Without Sounding Salesy
I understood their pain points and showed them how I could solve their problems. When you make it about them and not you, the sale takes care of itself. Second, you have to be real, guys.

Share your story, relate to those challenges, and let them see you as someone who genuinely wants to help them. Being authentic builds trust, and trust closes deals, guys.

Why the Best Ideas Are Worth Waiting For
How many times have you jumped to an idea because you felt pressure to act quickly, only to realize later that it wasn't the right move? I've been there, guys, several times. Early in my journey, I chased every opportunity that came my way, thinking speed was everything. But what I learned is that patience breeds clarity.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Why the Best Ideas Are Worth Waiting For
The best ideas come from when you give yourself the space to think, strategize, and refine. Second, great ideas need time to mature. When I was building my businesses, some of the most profitable moves didn't come from a flash of inspiration. They came from letting ideas evolve. You plant a seed, You water it, you nurture it. Over time, that seed grows into something powerful.

Rushing the process only stunts its potential. And lastly, guys, waiting for the right idea doesn't mean waiting forever. It means having strategy. It's about balancing action with patience. While you're waiting for that big idea, keep working, keep learning, and stay steady. Look, when the right idea comes, you'll know it and you'll be prepared to execute like a beast.

When you feel fear, it means you're stepping out of your comfort zone. That's where growth happens. When I left law enforcement to start my first business, I was scared as shit. What if it didn't work? What if I failed? But I didn't let fear stop me.

Not every metric deserves your attention. Focusing on the wrong numbers can actually distract you from real growth. The key to leveling up is knowing what to measure, why it matters, and how to use that information to dominate.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Method to Measuring What Matters
So first things first, guys, you got to define your goals. If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. Start by asking yourself, what does success look like to me? Whether it's revenue, customer retention, or scaling your team, get crystal clear on your end game. Now, when I launched my businesses, I didn't chase vanity metrics, guys.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Method to Measuring What Matters
I honed in on what would move the needle for my business. Your goal is to determine your metrics. Second, you gotta separate the noise from signals. Not all data is meaningful. You need to focus on the metrics that drive action. For example, if you're in sales, tracking leads generated is great, but tracking leads that converted is what really matters.
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
The Method to Measuring What Matters
In my businesses, I've learned that obsessing over likes and views actually doesn't build me any revenue, but understanding my customer acquisition cost will. Measure what impacts growth, not what looks good on paper. Lastly, you got to review and refine regularly every single day.
