Tired networking events and constant pitching yourself without sounding like you selling something? In this episode, Steve Ramona shares the exact method he uses to build authentic, high-value relationships that drive real business growth. Learn how asking the right questions—and listening with intention—can turn strangers into supporters, and conversations into opportunities.

Forget everything you’ve learned about networking. In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Founder of the Future Steve Ramona—host of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart—to talk about something most entrepreneurs are getting completely wrong: how we build relationships in business. Steve has built a thriving podcast and community not through pitching or value propositions, but through presence and intention. He’s not interested in surface level polite conversions—he’s committed to connection.

Steve breaks down his ASLA method, a simple but powerful framework that starts with asking, listening, asking again, and taking aligned action. Show up in service—without hidden agendas—and being willing to build trust before making an ask. That’s why people are constantly referring him, inviting him, and wanting to collaborate with him. It’s not magic but how relationships develop when you treat people like people, not prospects.

Maybe your outreach falls flat, or your efforts don’t feel aligned. Steve reminded me that asking isn’t weakness—it’s an invitation for deeper connection. And giving value without expectation? That’s how we build connections that sustain over time.

🎧 Tune in now to hear how you can lead with service and why you don’t need more strategy—you need more heart.

We’ve heard ‘the day I lost it all’ before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles, Vince Covino shares the day his $60M empire collapsed and how that breakdown led to a breakthrough.

This is one of the most emotional, raw, and thought-provoking interviews I’ve had the privilege of hosting. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I welcome Vince Covino—serial entrepreneur, CEO of Warrior Sage, and the creator of the Impact Accelerator Summit. We’ve heard ‘the day I lost it all’ before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles.

Vince opens up about losing his $60 million business, filing for multiple bankruptcies, and watching a life he spent years building completely fall apart, right along with his religious beliefs.

The size of the defeat is massive. And so is the story of awakening, alignment, and what it really means to live an epic life.

Vince was the embodiment of the traditional capitalist—obsessed with shareholder value, exponential growth, and profitability. Until everything collapsed. COVID forced his hand, shutting down locations, freezing income, and devastating a company that had once received a $100 million growth capital offer. As I listened to him describe how he laid off 500 people in 48 hours and tried to hold it all together while quietly losing his faith, I felt the weight of what he’d endured.

Fast forward to today. Vince is a powerful voice in shaping conscious capitalism. He’s helping successful founders align with purpose, raise capital from value-driven investors, and build businesses that don’t just scale—they heal. Through his Impact Accelerator Summit, he’s connecting high-impact leaders with investors who want to see your soul and your spreadsheet.

In our conversation, we talk about the massive shift happening in the investment world and why being vulnerable, authentic, and mission-led is no longer a liability—it’s your greatest asset.

If you're a founder ready to go bigger, but you're not willing to sell your soul to get there, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of multidimensional success and what it means to grow a business that actually feeds your spirit. Tune in now, and then visit VinceCovino.com to learn more about how Vince is leading the charge for a better, more heart-centered way to build wealth.

Quantum leaps aren’t magic—they’re intentional. Dr. Nona Djavid shares the 4-step process to shift your energy, expand your identity, and leap into rapid business growth. Ready to stop playing small?

Every now and then, I meet someone who reframes everything I thought I knew. That’s exactly what happened when I sat down with Dr. Nona Djavid for this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show. We explored something you’ve probably heard about—quantum leaps—but I promise you, not like this.

Nona has this way about her, where she combines her background in neuroscience with her experience as a multi-7-figure business owner. And she talks about it, like it’s no big deal to get there. She definitely got my attention. She shares how she started with just $300 and made a decision that most would call crazy—she invested two-thirds of it into a mastermind. Never mind food or shelter… But that decision wasn’t reckless. It was intentional, energetically aligned, and rooted in her belief. In our conversation, she walks us through the four steps that made her leap not only possible, but inevitable. Listen to the interview and find out what they are.

What I appreciated most is how deeply she understands the energetic dynamics at play in business. We talked about how hustle culture has hijacked our success, how many of us are operating from wounded masculine energy, and how both women and men are burnt out from chasing someone else’s version of success. Especially in this avalanche of uncertainty it’s easy to feel like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not moving forward. That’s why we are talking about this.

Nona’s approach is honest, intelligent, and full of heart. If you’re ready to move beyond burnout and build a business that’s aligned with who you really are, please don’t miss this episode. And if you want to go deeper, she’s offering a free 90-minute training on the exact quantum leap framework we talk about here. Just reach out to her and mention the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future.

Tired of fake, polished marketing that doesn’t connect? In this episode, Penelope Holt shares how spiritual principles like authenticity and alignment can unlock deeper success—for your business and yourself.

There are episodes that inform, and then there are episodes that transform—and this one is the latter. I am sitting down with Penelope Holt who shares deep insights in the world of emotional intelligence, storytelling, and purpose-driven business. Penelope is the author of Business Emotions at Work and she brings decades of experience as a ghostwriter and marketing expert for entrepreneurs who want to build meaningful brands.

Our conversation began with the big question we explore on this podcast: Can business and spirituality coexist? Penelope didn’t just say yes—she explained why they must. She introduces the idea of the “Tao of Entrepreneurship,” a path where aligning with the natural flow of the universe actually fuels your business growth. We talked about how people often chase success by focusing solely on tactics, metrics, and strategy—when in reality, it’s their emotional and spiritual grounding that determines whether they thrive or burn out.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode was when we reflected on loss, including my own experience with the Palisades Fire. Penelope’s take on what really sustains us during devastating moments brought me to tears. She believes—and I agree—that our greatest rewards come not from manipulating outcomes, but from showing up with generosity, honesty, and trust. We talked about what it means to give without expectation, to receive openly, and to live from a place of alignment rather than performance.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your spiritual values have a place in your business, or if you’re feeling called to build something deeper than just a profitable model, this episode is for you. Penelope’s voice is one of clarity and compassion, and she reminds us that authenticity is becoming the most valuable currency in the marketplace. After you listen, I encourage you to dive deeper into her work at PenelopeHolt.com—it’s a resource every conscious leader should know about.

“Founders of the Future” is a movement. In this episode, I break down why today’s leaders must shift from outdated and broken models to a purpose-driven strategy if they want to stay relevant in what’s coming next.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “the future belongs to the bold.” But what if I told you most entrepreneurs aren’t ready for what’s coming next?

In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I share what’s been stirring in me—and why I believe most current business strategies are out of alignment, out of touch, and flat-out broken.

After losing everything in the Palisades fire—my home, my office, my podcast studio—I sat in the ashes, literally and figuratively, and asked myself: What now? That moment of devastation became my wake-up call. It is leading to a deeper understanding of resonance, alignment, and what it actually means to be called to lead. If you’ve been building your business off someone else’s blueprint and wondering why it’s not working, now you know why. You’ve been following systems built for someone else’s purpose.

It's time to change that.

In this episode, I unpack why most “expert” advice is rooted in bro-marketing and manipulative sales psychology, and why that leaves you feeling stuck and disconnected. I share the truth behind building a purpose-driven business that doesn’t burn you out—but instead lights you up from the inside out. If you're still chasing funnels without building a business model around your resonance, you're just spinning your wheels.

I created this episode for the 0.5%—the ones who’ve heard the call, who know they're meant to lead, but need help figuring out how. So if that’s you, tune in. Let’s talk about how you can stop copying and finally start creating the future only you are meant to build.

Funnel hacking looks easy — but it almost never delivers real success. Seth Greene reveals the hidden reasons why copying tactics fails and what you actually need to grow your business for real. Tune in and learn what truly drives lasting growth.

If you think success is just one more funnel away, think again.

In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Seth Greene — best-selling author, podcast host, and founder of Market Domination LLC — to dismantle the myths that keep so many entrepreneurs stuck. Seth shares why most marketing strategies fail, how mindset trumps tactics, and why chasing the latest shiny object will never lead to lasting business growth.

Throughout our conversation, Seth explains something that resonates with me: working on your personal development is your ultimate growth strategy. Massive growth doesn’t mean hacking someone else’s funnel or spending $5 a day on Facebook ads hoping to beat the massive pay-me-more algorithm Meta has perfected to separate you from your money. It’s about who you're being when you show up in your business. Seth’s sobering approach offers a refreshing alternative to the many 30-day guaranteed quick fixes aka the endless noise in the marketing world — one that’s built on authenticity, focus, and powerful human connection.

Seth introduced his "Dream 50" system — a simple strategy that shows you how to enlist 50 micro-influencers to promote your business 50 weeks in a row. Think about not relying solely on paid ads or cold outreach, but instead of creating steady, intentional growth through real life relationships. It’s the kind of strategy I wish more business owners would hear about. Certainly something we’ve focused on, in an increasingly loud world, have intimate conversations so that you can hear your clients.

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and ready to build real momentum, this is the episode you need to hear. And if you want to dive even deeper into Seth’s alternative strategies, visit ultimatepodcastbook.com to learn more.

Think your business should give you freedom—but it doesn’t? Nathan Newberry reveals the hidden mistakes holding entrepreneurs back. Watch now to stop the cycle and start building a business that works for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck building a business that relies entirely on you, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Nathan Newberry—discussing how to build personal brands that are scalable and provide the freedom that made you get into business in the first place.

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, starting with one of the most important (and often overlooked) questions in business: Are you clear on your offer? Nathan talks about why that clarity is the foundation for everything—your message, your content, your funnels, and even your team. He shares that you want to be solving real problems, understanding what your audience needs, and building systems that scale from that place of service.

Nathan also brought additional insights on AI. Some are resisting it and others are leaning way too hard into it. He offers a balanced perspective I wholeheartedly agree with—if used well, it can be a smart business partner. You want to train AI tools in your own voice and style, so the content still feels like you—but gets it done faster and more efficiently. That, paired with systems, playbooks, and media teams, this is what gives you the freedom to focus on your genius.

If you’re in that space where you know you’re meant for more—but your business is still too dependent on your daily effort—this episode will give you a real pathway forward to get a head start on scaling.

Avoiding facing your fears keeps you stuck. Simon Emery explains how running from fearful experiences or childhood trauma limits your potential and growth. Unlock your true strength instead.

Are you still carrying the emotional pain of your past — pain that was never really yours to begin with?

In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, transformational coach Siamon Emery breaks down the truth about healing: don’t focus on fixing broken pieces. You were never broken at all. Siamon challenges the idea that we need to “fix” ourselves to be happy. Instead, he explains why wholeness has always been inside us — we just forgot.

Through his own journey of deep emotional work and trauma recovery, Siamon shows us that true strength comes from feeling everything — not from pretending we're fine. He explains the importance of self-regulation, how to create real safety within our bodies, and how revisiting our childhood pain with compassion, not judgment, can change everything.

If you feel stuck in patterns that you can't break, or weighed down by old stories that you’ve carried too long, this conversation will be the wake-up call you need. Siamon’s message is simple and liberating: you don't have to carry what isn't yours. Healing is possible and he shares a strategy to start doing it live on the show. A better, lighter life is waiting — and it starts with a choice you can make today.

🎯 Ready to heal yourself? Visit SiamonEmery.com to book your free 30-minute call and discover how you can finally leave the old baggage behind — for good.
