In this episode, Paul sits down with serial entrepreneur Damion Lupo — founder of nearly 80 companies, author of 12 books, and co-founder/CIO of FrameTec, closing in on a $1B valuation.
Damien shares the raw truth about starting (and ending) dozens of businesses, losing $20 million in 12 months, going homeless, and rebuilding from scratch. Together, we explore:
- Why “failure” is just feedback and how redefining it will change your entrepreneurial game
- The mindset shift from chasing money to building lasting impact
- How to decide when to quit a venture vs. push through
- The dangers of over-leverage — and how to use debt wisely
- Why resilience, vision, and environment are more important than IQ
- The 10-minute, 10-step plan to reach $10M in 10 years (and why that number matters more than $1M or $100M)
- How to find your calling — even if you think you don’t have one yet
- Why surrounding yourself with the right people is the ultimate wealth hack
- The three relationships every entrepreneur should maintain: mentors, peers, and mentees
Whether you’re scaling, starting over, or simply trying to think bigger, Damion’s story is a masterclass in perseverance, strategic thinking, and self-awareness.
