"You can't be tired, stressed, time-poor, unfocused, and unproductive—and expect to find success. That doesn't work."
In this episode, Billy Rickman shares his incredible journey of business growth, collapse, and reinvention—and how true success is built from the inside out. After rapidly scaling his marketing agency to 65 employees, COVID forced a complete shutdown. Instead of giving up, Billy pivoted to the dental industry, rebuilding his revenue in just 12 months.
We explore:
🔹 Why realignment is necessary—challenges often push you toward your true purpose
🔹 Building first, then success follows—laying the right foundation before expecting results
🔹 The power of knowing your numbers—data doesn’t lie, and it’s the key to making better decisions
🔹 Sales psychology & buyer behavior—how to speak to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic clients
🔹 The mindset shift to success—why stress, exhaustion, and lack of focus block opportunities
If you feel like you're grinding without real results, this conversation will help you see that success isn’t something you chase—it’s something you build within.
Tune in now to learn how to realign, pivot, and create lasting success! 🚀

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
