You’re in charge

What if the very thing that made you powerful... was quietly undoing everything you built?

Founders are often seen as unstoppable forces, but unchecked power has a dark side.

When no one can say no to you, who keeps you grounded?

Who tells you when you’re wrong?

Success can become a mirror that reflects only what we want to see.

Here’s the real question: as your influence grows, are you becoming the kind of leader people trust  - or fear?

Before diving into today’s Inside Scoop, pause and ask: 

What kind of power am I really wielding?

✅ When Founders Become Powerdrunk
From skipped bonuses to unchecked egos, some founders become the very risk to the empire they built. Without guardrails, passion turns into chaos—and the golden goose starts burning down the barn. So... what happens when the biggest threat to the business is the one who started it?

✅ Called Crazy for His Idea – But Who’s Laughing Now?
"I was called crazy for betting it all on Boatsetter - now I own a $4M fleet." When Miami regulations crushed his jet ski biz, Angel Rodriguez went all-in on yacht rentals with zero backup plan. Less than a year later, he’s pulling $30K a month and cruising toward millions - all because he trusted a platform others overlooked.

✅ Poverty Was Not an Excuse for This Hustler
"I grew up poor—now I run a team and clean up in more ways than one." Anna-Maria Ortiz had just £1,554 to her name and a dream of breaking the cycle. One DIY website, a magnet on her car, and a whole lot of hustle later, she's now raking in £7.5K a month from Cool Aunt Cleaners all without ads or fancy promos.

✅ Young CEO Shares His Secret -  “Get Into the Thick of It”
"You don’t fake it - you ask, listen, and dance on the table if you have to." Jason Felts went from small-town Texas to becoming the second-youngest CEO in Virgin Group history, mentored by none other than Richard Branson. Their secret sauce? Real talk, radical trust, and not being afraid to jump into the thick of it - sometimes literally.

When Anna-Maria Ortiz looked at her £1,554 savings, she didn’t see limits—she saw a launchpad.

After a lifetime of watching her parents stretch every dollar, struggling through the stress of “just getting by,” she knew something had to change. 

So she made a bold move: quit the excuses, stuck with the dream, and built Cool Aunt Cleaners from the ground up—literally.

No investors. No fancy business degree. Just a website, cleaning supplies, magnets on her car, and a fierce determination to rewrite her story.

She juggled a demanding tech job by day and scrubbed homes by night. It was lonely. Exhausting. Physically brutal. But she showed up for herself, again and again.

Today?

She’s bringing in £7.5k a month, manages a growing team, and inspires thousands online with her journey.

Anna-Maria’s story reminds us that you don’t need a perfect plan—just a powerful why.

Failures will come.

Doubt will whisper. 

But if you keep showing up, even tired and aching, you just might clean house on your old life and build something beautiful from scratch.

The dream?

It's not just alive - it’s sparkling.
