In this electrifying episode, Mike dives deep into the raw and unfiltered journey of a man who built businesses in fitness, nutrition, consulting, and even popcorn… all without outside investors.
From sleeping in his car for six months just to keep a dream alive, to opening multiple retail stores, gyms, and launching Rexius Nutrition, Tim's story is one of resilience, grit, and relentless self-belief. Along the way, you'll discover the pivotal role of real human connection — the kind that's built face-to-face, one handshake at a time.
This isn't only about business hustle. It's about legacy. Tim credits his wife, Brittany, as the partner who fueled their explosive growth, reveals why giving employees ownership creates unstoppable teams, and reflects on the family lessons that shaped his vision. And in one jaw-dropping reveal, he shares how ignoring his wife and daughters' advice cost him a fortune…a mistake that forever changed the way he listens, leads, and adapts.
This is the story of a man determined not only to build companies but to leave a mark so powerful that future generations will still be talking about it. If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn ambition into impact, this one's for you.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
