Today, I live in suburban, Dallas and run multiple 7 and 8 figure businesses. I'm here to tell you – what I have done, you can do. The purpose of my podcast is to motivate you to take ownership of your life, to show you how to operate on elite levels in business and life, and to embrace the mindset that you can overcome anything that stands in your way. It's time to go after what you want - and get it.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T12:19:51.410068+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111"},"episode":{"title":"Newton Invented Calculus During the Plague: What's Your Excuse - EP 294","slug":"newton-invented-calculus-during-the-plague-what-s-your-excuse-ep-294","published_at":"2026-06-06T12:48:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111/newton-invented-calculus-during-the-plague-what-s-your-excuse-ep-294","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111","url":"https://648583cc-05c1-41aa-a743-9eb841878b37.libsyn.com/newton-invented-calculus-during-the-plague-whats-your-excuse-ep-294","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/648583cc-05c1-41aa-a743-9eb841878b37/TT_6_62.mp3?dest-id=4100751","summary":"Everybody keeps asking the same question. What if it gets worse. What if AI replaces everything. What if the whole thing falls apart. That question has no floor. You can ask it forever and it only leads to more fear. In this episode I give you a different question. Not what if, but even if. Even if the economy tanks, you're going to find me building. Even if the rules change, you're going to find me adapting. I dug into the parts of history they don't teach you. Newton invented calculus during the Great Plague while he was bored and stuck at home. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth during plague lockdowns. The Slinky came out of a wartime accident. Zookeepers marched penguins around bombed out London to lift people's spirits during the Blitz. Every one of those stories has the same thing in common. Nobody waited for conditions to be perfect. If you're a business owner in 2026, you are building during a genuinely turbulent moment. Regulatory shifts, market changes, AI disruption, culture anxiety. All of it is real. The people who wait for the perfect year never build. The people who build anyway are the ones whose names we know. You don't get to opt out of the chaos. The only thing that was ever optional is what you choose to do in the middle of it. Stop asking what if. Start declaring even if. Now go do something worth doing.","meta_description":"Everybody keeps asking the same question. What if it gets worse. What if AI replaces everything.
