- Why changing incentive plans every 24 months keeps top reps hungry and collaborative.
- The assistant first rule founders ignore—and how one great VA can unlock your next strategic leap.
- Burnout to builder: how Chris used peer groups, sleep, and ruthless boundary-setting to turn crisis into a coaching empire.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
