Dave Cousins is an automation strategist and entrepreneur known for helping business owners scale with systems instead of burnout. After leaving the Navy, he discovered that entrepreneurship came with no roadmap—just uncertainty, setbacks, and the realization that hard work alone couldn't build a sustainable business.

His breakthrough came when he shifted from doing everything manually to building automated, scalable processes. Since then, he has developed proven frameworks that have helped multiple entrepreneurs cross the $1M mark—systems shaped by real experience, constant refinement, and results, not theory.

Michael Drake — known online as "Mr. Drake Visions" — is the co-founder of The Credit Team and the creator behind the Credit CEO channel, where he breaks down financial traps, bad advice, and real-world credit strategies in a way people can finally understand.

During the show we discuss:

  • How Dave Cousins and Michael Drake scaled audiences and businesses using systems instead of burnout
  • The strategies behind growing a YouTube channel to hundreds of thousands of subscribers
  • Common myths and overlooked tactics that dramatically impact consumer credit outcomes
  • How to launch and structure a profitable credit repair business
  • The role of automation and AI in scaling operations and improving client results
  • Fast-track strategies for landing the first 50 paying clients
  • Proven ways to monetize credit education, tools, and community to reach seven figures

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
