Did you know less than 1% of companies are publicly traded? While most investors obsess over stocks, the ultra-wealthy are quietly building fortunes in the other 99%. Today, we’re unlocking their playbook.
In this episode, I’m talking with Christopher Zook, Founder of CAZ Investments and co-author of “The Holy Grail of Investing,” which he co-authored with Tony Robbins, to explore how the wealthiest individuals invest differently. From private equity and real estate to professional sports ownership, Christopher reveals the strategies they use to create cash flow, reduce risk, and build lasting wealth.
We break down why private markets consistently outperform public markets, the power of true diversification beyond stocks and bonds, and how to align your investments for maximum upside with minimal risk. Plus, Christopher shares game-changing insights into new legislation that could make these opportunities accessible to more investors than ever.
If you’re ready to rethink your approach to investing, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How new rules around accredited investors are opening up private markets to more people, including the ability to invest 401(k) and 403(b) plans in private opportunities.
✅ Why GP Stakes are one of the hottest private equity trends of the past decade, how he became a first mover in the space, and why this investment offers a stronger risk-reward balance and reliable cash flow.
✅ How big family offices and high-net-worth investors think about capital allocation, risk management, and building generational wealth away from the volatility of public markets.
✅ How Christopher is entering the rapidly expanding world of sports investments, why it’s poised for massive growth, and what it means for investors looking to capitalize on this emerging trend.

Today, I’m excited to welcome Geoff Woods back on the podcast to talk all about how you can leverage AI to unlock new levels of growth in your business, outpace the competition, and get more done in less time.
Last time we had Geoff on the show, he was the Vice President at The ONE Thing, where he coached and advised companies with annual revenues from $10 million to $60 billion. He has since left that role (a decision that wasn’t easy) but is now making big waves in the world of AI.
He’s now the author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of The AI-Driven Leader Podcast and the Founder of AI Leadership, where he empowers leaders to harness AI, escape operational overwhelm, and think strategically to accelerate growth.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Geoff’s incredible journey from exiting his role at The ONE Thing to becoming the Chief Growth Officer at Jindal Steel & Power, where he helped skyrocket the company's market cap from $750 million to over $12 billion in just four years.
✅ Why so many people fail to harness AI effectively, dismissing it as a waste of time – and Geoff’s proven system to make AI think strategically for you, delivering mind-blowing results for your business.
✅ Real-world case studies showcasing AI's processing power – and how you can harness AI as a strategic partner to tackle your company’s biggest challenges and achieve unprecedented levels of success.

Today’s episode is a little different. As many of you know, I’m a member of Front Row Dads – a group started by Jon Vroman, as a way to help men level up as husband’s and father’s. As a part of their podcast member takeover series, I was asked to interview a Dad of my choosing. I wanted to pick someone I admire and respect in both business and life, so I decided to interview my good friend, Brad Johnson. While this interview will be released on the Front Row Dads podcast, I couldn’t help but think our audience would appreciate listening to it as well.
For context, Brad is the co-founder of Triad Partners, a business that partners with the top 1% of independent financial advisors, coaching them on how to achieve unlimited growth, freedom, and joy in business and life. Or as they have coined it, “Doing Business. Doing Life.”
Brad and I first met years ago at a Front Row Dads event, and he’s been a great influence on me both personally and professionally ever since. In fact, he’s the reason this podcast exists. He’s the guy who talked me into starting The Lifestyle Investor podcast 5 years ago.
In this episode, we both get pretty personal as we dive into our non-negotiable core values, practical tips for entrepreneurs chasing the mythical “work-life balance,” and the top lessons we’ve learned to successfully grow a business without sacrificing family, health, or happiness.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How to build a team that wants to do business and do life together – AND a culture that attracts great talent in the process!
✅ Work-life balance is a myth – find out why work-life integration is the secret to making your business serve your life, not become your life.
✅ Brad’s #1 piece of advice to become a better spouse – and why you should do THIS as early as possible in your marriage to avoid falling into a doom loop.
