Show notes

In Ep 38, Joe sits down with Eddie Garcia (Founder & CEO) and Mark Dimas (President & Co-Founder) of Realty of America (ROA)—the fastest-growing brokerage in the nation, closing $2.5B and 7,000 homes in just 10 months.

They share how faith, culture, and servant leadership became their growth engine, the importance of “belly-to-belly” relationship building in a digital world, and how they turned a dream into a national movement of over 2,300 agents across 17 states.

We talk legacy, leadership, culture, faith, and the future of real estate tech—plus how ROA plans to go public within 24 months with their own proprietary tech stack.

Podcast to Cash: The Foundational Four, VIP Packages & Live Pods ft. Brendan Boyd Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

Joe sits down with Brendan Boyd, founder/CEO of Imperfect Action, to break down how entrepreneurs can turn a podcast into a profit center—without a giant audience. Brendan unpacks his Foundational Four (digital products, paid community, affiliate partners, VIP package), the Live Podcast model that converts on the spot, and how to build a podcast acquisition system (pod-closing) that brings in clients directly from the mic.

You’ll learn how to package your show like a media business (LLC, EIN, business banking, funding), why a VIP package turns free guests into paid ones, how a paid community gives your audience access they actually want, and why most shows die in the “podcast graveyard” (no offers, no CTAs, no plan). If you’ve been publishing without monetizing, this episode gives you the playbook to flip the switch.

From Poverty to Passive Millions ft. Doran Andry | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with entrepreneur and philanthropist Doran Andry—a man who went from six kids in a one-bedroom apartment… to making $1M in passive income by age 30.

Doran shares how mentors like Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins shaped his mindset, why success is more about who you become than what you achieve, and the power of designing your life with intention. He breaks down how to manage your state of mind, the role of visualization, and why fulfillment matters more than just money.

From billion-dollar distribution deals to building schools in Thailand, Doran’s story is proof that success leaves clues—and that imagination, discipline, and mentors can change your entire trajectory.

We talk mentorship, manifestation, biohacking for longevity, and why even after retiring at 47, he’s still dreaming bigger than ever.

This one’s packed with wisdom from a man who’s lived it all.

From Wall Street to Warrior ft. Rafa J. Conde (Man of War) | Coffeez with Joe Shalaby Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Rafa J. Conde walked away from a near–seven-figure Wall Street career to earn $38K as a rookie cop—and spend the next 18.5 years running narcotics, SWAT, and federal task-force ops. Why? A calling to serve, lead, and become the kind of man pressure can’t break.

In this episode, Rafa unpacks the identity shift from money/status to mission/service, the moments that harden—or humble—a man, and how those lessons forged Man of War, his global movement to build disciplined, purpose-driven men. We get into the “Warrior’s Hour” morning routine (4:30 AM, cold plunge, meditation, run/lift), leadership under fire, raising strong sons in soft times, and why discipline, faith, and a clear code beat hacks every day of the week.

From “Manchild” to Mentor ft. Schea Cotton | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

Schea Cotton was a legend before social media—so dominant writers called him a “man-child.” By 15, he was the most feared high-school hooper in America… then he vanished from the headlines. In this raw conversation, Schea opens up about the real story: the pressure on prodigies, NCAA turmoil, undrafted heartbreak, a decade overseas, and the mental health battle that followed.

We get into faith, resilience, and why the middle of the story—where no one’s watching—decides your life. Schea breaks down today’s youth-sports machine (NIL, portals, vultures), the role parents play in building or breaking foundations, and the non-negotiables he coaches: discipline, humility, and accountability.

Now through his Academy of Ideas and the Manchild movement, he’s turning his experience into a blueprint for the next generation—so gifted kids become grounded adults. If you’ve ever carried expectations that felt heavier than your talent, this one will hit home.

Love, Legacy & Jiu-Jitsu ft. Ryron & Victoria Gracie | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with husband-and-wife duo Ryron and Victoria Gracie—leaders in the legendary Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family.

We talk about what it’s really like to grow up Gracie, how jiu-jitsu goes beyond fighting into lessons about emotional control, patience, and resilience—and why those lessons carry into marriage, parenting, and everyday life.

Ryron opens up about the pressure (and freedom) of being a Gracie, while Victoria shares what it’s like to marry into a legacy—and how they balance tradition with growth in their own family. From the mats to marriage, from raising kids to running Gracie University, their story is as much about love and values as it is about martial arts.

From Basement Startup to $100M Exit ft. Alexis Sikorsky | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby Aug 22, 2025

Show notes

This week on Coffeez for Closers, we’re joined by Alexis Sikorsky—UK-based entrepreneur, investor, and the brains behind a $100M+ exit in enterprise tech.

Alexis built his company from a basement in Switzerland… scaled to $12M in revenue… then nearly lost everything in the 2008 crash. But instead of folding, he mortgaged his home, fired half his team, and fought his way back—eventually selling to private equity and rewriting his future.

In this brutally honest episode, we cover:

• Firing people vs. losing millions

• How private equity really works

• How to build a company that sells

• Why most founders confuse motion with progress

• And why raising rich kids with grit is harder than it looks

Alexis now coaches founders through his Apex Method—helping them scale to 9-figure exits without losing their soul.

If you’re playing for legacy—not just lifestyle—this one’s for you.
