What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't your strategy, your market, or your competition but the beliefs you inherited before you ever started a business?

Randy Gage knows this firsthand. He went from a jail cell as a teenager to becoming a Speaker Hall of Famer, a multimillion-dollar entrepreneur, and the author of 16 bestselling books translated into more than 25 languages. His new book, Wealth Without Apology: A Prosperity Manifesto, just released and it may be the most important thing an entrepreneur reads this year.

In this episode, Randy breaks down the concept of "mind viruses," the cultural programming around money, success, and wealth that silently causes entrepreneurs to self-sabotage without even knowing it. He and Ben explore why TV, movies, and media keep recycling the same tired message that rich people are evil, and why that programming is costing you more than you realize.

They also get into:

• Why 70% of Randy's entrepreneurial coaching work happens in the mind, not the business model
• How questioning premises, the way Elon Musk did with rockets and Tesla's assembly line, is the most underrated entrepreneurial skill
• Why Randy's best revenue year ever came at age 67, after adopting Simon Sinek's Infinite Game philosophy
• How AI is adding 20 hours a week of "magic sauce" to his business while freeing him from 12 to 15 hours of routine work
• The four quadrants of a prosperous life and how to build a prosperity flywheel

If you've ever felt guilty about wanting more, capped your own income without realizing it, or wondered why success seems to slip through your fingers, this conversation is for you.
