Mark Miller doesn’t just manage money—he manages legacies. As the managing partner of Hilton Wealth and co-leader of the Hilton family office, Mark helps business owners and high-net-worth individuals make smarter, safer financial decisions. In this episode, Mark breaks down the misunderstood world of family offices and how they function as a “general contractor” for wealth—coordinating top-tier advisors across tax, investments, legal, and insurance.

He explains how the average investor is often set up to fail, driven by emotion and overexposed to risk. The wealthy, on the other hand, take a safety-first approach—prioritizing protection over flashy returns. Mark challenges the mainstream obsession with chasing gains, instead advocating for disciplined, long-term strategies built on experience and balance.

Craig and Mark also unpack the emotional psychology of money, exploring how trauma, ego, and ignorance impact financial decisions—and how leaders can rise above it. Mark’s ultimate goal? Helping clients find “true wealth,” defined not just by financial success, but by peace, freedom, and life balance.

Ty Givens, founder and CEO of CX Collective, joins Craig Andrews to break down the overlooked power of customer experience. Ty argues that customer experience isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about preventing them. Through real-world examples, from Starbucks to five-star restaurants, Ty highlights how small touches—like empathy and initiative—can turn a moment of friction into long-term loyalty.

She shares her early career misstep that changed everything: thinking she was just an employee instead of the brand itself. That shift in mindset launched a career helping brands—from startups to Fortune 500s—reshape how they engage customers at every level.

Ty also opens up about the power of leadership that sees potential in others. A former bookstore manager changed her trajectory with one simple act of belief, reminding us that leadership isn’t always flashy—sometimes it’s about sending someone to a job fair.

This episode challenges companies in every industry to rethink how they listen, act, and lead through customer experience.

Dr. Sherry Peel Jackson, former IRS agent turned tax strategist, pulls back the curtain on how small business owners are unfairly targeted by the system. In this hard-hitting episode, Sherry explains why the IRS considers entrepreneurs “low-hanging fruit” and how to legally protect yourself through strategic deductions and proper business structuring.

After leaving the IRS, Sherry discovered deep flaws in the tax system—ones that led to a federal prison sentence when she spoke out. But instead of backing down, she doubled down. Now, she helps six-figure professionals keep more of what they earn without crossing legal lines.

Craig and Sherry discuss the importance of standing up to institutional overreach and why leadership sometimes means challenging broken systems. Sherry shares practical advice for anyone looking to reduce their tax burden legally, including the necessity of having a home-based business and meticulous record-keeping.

This isn’t about tax evasion—it’s about tax education, justice, and reclaiming financial freedom. Sherry’s mission is clear: empower people with knowledge and help them escape financial bondage.

Nils Vinje helps CEOs scale by aligning their leadership teams. In this episode, he breaks down how misalignment at the top quietly drains momentum—and what to do about it. Drawing from his time in Silicon Valley, where leadership teams were swapped out like batteries, Nils explains why true alignment starts with shared understanding and ruthless simplicity.

Nils outlines the five principles that power every successful business: People, Purpose, Playbooks, Performance, and Profit. He argues that most dysfunction goes unnoticed because it feels normal from the inside. His job is to bring clarity—often by asking the questions no one else is asking. From working with fence installers to Fortune 100s, Nils shows that scaling is less about tactics and more about mindset and structure.

This episode is a must-listen for leaders who feel stuck despite working harder than ever. If your team is talented but directionless, Nils offers a clear, proven path forward.

James Elliman planned to be a Marine officer, following a family legacy of military service. But a last-minute medical disqualification forced a hard pivot. Instead of serving in uniform, he leaned into his lifelong love of tech and launched Elliman Technologies to simplify IT for small businesses.

In this episode, James shares how leadership isn't just about titles—it’s about clarity, adaptability, and serving others, even when plans fall apart. He opens up about the early days, charging $14 an hour and fixing printers via Facebook. Over time, he learned how to price value, not time, and transitioned to a scalable MSP model. That shift not only stabilized his business—it turned him into a more strategic leader.

James discusses how overwhelming tech stacks taught him the importance of standardization, the role of empathy in customer service, and why flexible pricing models build trust. He also unpacks the chaos from recent tech outages, and how proactive leadership helped clients stay calm while the internet burned.

Craig Andrews opens up about the most defining moment of his life—a six-week coma after a severe case of COVID-19. Doctors told his wife he wouldn’t survive. But he beat the odds. When he woke, he discovered that his team and community kept his business running. That, he says, is his proudest leadership moment.

In this solo episode, Craig reflects on the radical recovery process and the outrageous goals that powered his comeback.

He urges listeners to apply the same strategy for the new year. Set goals that scare you. Set goals that excite you. Then plan the path to make them real—physically, professionally, or personally.

This is a candid, high-impact episode about resilience, leadership, and growth through adversity.

Craig Andrews opens up about the most defining leadership moment of his life—one he wasn’t even conscious for. After slipping into a six-week coma from COVID-19, doctors told his wife he wouldn’t survive. But his team kept the business running. Freelancers stepped in unasked. That’s when Craig knew he had built something more than a company—he built loyalty.

In this special Christmas episode, Craig reflects on that recovery period and the relationships that mattered most. From struggling to climb stairs to re-learning how to stand, he talks candidly about physical weakness and emotional clarity. Coming back from the brink helped him separate genuine, reciprocal relationships from those that were only surface deep.

Craig urges leaders to evaluate who’s really in their corner and to invest in people who show up when it counts. His story is both personal and powerful—an unfiltered look at legacy through leadership.
