The King’s Code Podcast: Emotional Fitness for Men Entrepreneurs

On this episode of The King’s Code, I interview Gary Agajanian, President of Agajanian Vineyards & Wine Company. After 30 years of steadily growing his winery, his business was seriously threatened by the California wildfires. He came to me looking for guidance to improve his mindset and find the certainty it would take to get his business back on track rather than declaring bankruptcy. He was able to successfully navigate this hard time by looking at his father and grandfather for inspiration. When he found his code to the Edge, he went from being hurt by the storm to becoming the storm. He was able to bring his business back and then continue to grow even bigger than before. Watch this episode to learn how an unstoppable mindset will help you get your business back on track.

On this episode of The King’s Code, I interview Josh Kreitzer, founder of Retail Media. Josh was an early adopter of ecommerce, at the time when it was considered a disrupter rather than the norm. He later found a position at GoPro, and tested an early version of the Amazon search engine. He used his experience with Amazon to found his own company that takes advantage of the Amazon algorythm to promote products and services, even ones that don’t sell on Amazon. In this interview, you will hear the journey he took as an entrepreneur, from the big leap of faith it took to leave a secure position to the ups and downs, to his current successes.

In this episode, of the King’s Code Podcast, I interview Ron McKay, the founder of Hammock Greens, a company that is revolutionizing the way we think about farming. Using cutting-edge technology, Hammock Greens grows fruits and vegetables in indoor hydroponic gardens housed in shipping containers. This sustainable approach uses less water, takes less power, and grows more nutritious produce without the use of pesticides, on top of that, because the food is grown locally, it has a lower carbon footprint and mitigates any supply chain issues.
None of this would be possible if Ron McKay hadn’t discovered his code to the EDGE. Watch this episode of the King’s Code to learn who Ron is, how he discovered the EDGE, and the impact he’s making on the entire world.

On this episode of the King’s Code Podcast, I react to Jordan Peterson being interviewed by Piers Morgan. Peterson is a controversial public figure. Depending on who you ask, he can be a voice to the voiceless, helping men who cannot help themselves; or he is the public figure of a group of angry, horny men who can’t get dates. Olivia Wilde’s movie, “Don’t Worry Darling,” has a character who is a cult leader, and many people interpret the character as a slightly exaggerated depiction of Peterson. In this interview, Peterson got choked up talking about the young men who look up to him. What can we make of this man? Is it all an act? Is he a hero or a charlatan? And what can we learn about the incel movement? Is it a movement of men bringing each other up or are they holding each other down? Watch this video to see my reaction to this viral moment.

On this episode of the King’s Code, I interview Jason Stone.

He shares how to deal with haters and why the haters can be your biggest cheerleaders with the right mindset. Watch this video to learn more about Jason Stone.

This is a reaction video to the interview Andrew Tate did with YouTube podcasters Fresh & Fit. Andrew Tate is blowing up on the internet, according to my son, and I want to see this interview for myself.
In this interview, Tate goes all in proclaiming that toxic masculinity is a phrase made up by angry, man-hating feminists. According to him, all masculinity is perceived as toxic masculinity, and women complaining about men is a first world problem. 
My opinion on Tate himself is that he is very much in touch with his dark warrior. The dark warrior wants to hunt, fight, and have sex, but it’s inevitable that the dark warrior burns everything to the ground because he can’t create, he can only destroy. I believe that being a dark warrior is only one step along the way to becoming a king, which means a complete man who owns his life.
Watch the video to see highlights from the interview Tate did with Fresh & Fit, and my reactions to them.

John Barriga is the founder and owner of Intravenous Me, a popular IV therapy provider in Midtown Manhattan. I interview him about how he came to work with me, and what steps he has taken to turn his life around since we’ve worked together. He first contacted me through my application process. He was, at the time, filled with uncertainty about how to keep his business going during the pandemic, his marriage was suffering, and he knew he had to change something. He was able to turn his life around by taking control of his life rather than sitting back and hiring other people to do the hard work for him. His story proves the importance of hard work and dedication, and to never count yourself out.

Michael Valdes is the President of eXp Global and host of the Global Luxury Real Estate Mastermind Podcast. He is currently the only Latino President of a publicly traded real estate company in the country. He has sold real estate, either directly or through overseeing his agents, in over 100 countries, and logged over a million frequent flyer miles. He created a new business model of selling real estate though the internet rather than through traditional brick-and-mortar offices. In this episode, I interview him to find out the secret to his continued success.

On this, episode 4 of the King’s Code Podcast, I interview Mark Jennison, founder of IAMACOMEBACK. His company is focused primarily on helping otherwise successful men overcome a battle they often find themselves losing: addiction. What makes Mark so different is that he teaches his clients how to tap into their inner strength; in contrast, many rehab programs like AA teach that you are powerless to stop your addiction, and you must learn how to live with that powerlessness. Given that AA’s success rating is 50% at best, and Mark’s success rate is 97%, Mark seems to know what he’s talking about.
But the rehab is only the beginning, because Mark teaches successful men how to apply that same inner strength to every aspect of their lives to increase their capacity and live their best lives in every way possible. Watch this video to learn how Mark’s failures led to his ultimate success, and what he does every day to keep himself in the best physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shape possible.
