Amazon Success Secrets: “Buffalo Mentality” for 7-Figure Wins

Strap in for a raw, no-fluff masterclass on turning storms into seven-figure sunshine. Hosts Dmitri Smirnov and Chris Gray welcome serial entrepreneur Izabella Ritz, Amazon seller, AI power user, and owner of a 60-horse riding school, who proves that success is equal parts grit, data, and daring.

Izabella unpacks her now-famous “Buffalo Mentality” (charge into the storm, don’t run from it) by telling how she:

→ clawed back from a $95 K personal loss to a $14 K profit in 45 days, then scaled past seven figures and exited three brands;

→ rescued a collapsing horseback-riding academy after every staff member quit, while learning a few choice “country words” along the way;

→ uses Abacus.AI to design websites, ad creatives, and product concepts in minutes, slashing weeks off her Amazon product-development cycle;

→ built a high-ticket agency (Ritz Momentum) that de-risks Amazon launches through brutal data validation;

→ runs four businesses with her ex-Marine husband, proving marriage can be a business superpower.

Whether you’re bootstrapping your first FBA listing, looking for fresh AI tricks, or just need a mindset reset, this convo hands you the playbook and the courage to charge into your own storm.

Feeling chained to your task list and calling it “success”?

Civil-engineering CEO Joe Mancini thought the same—until a brutal reality check forced him to rethink everything about work, family, and the real ROI of life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The productivity trap: how chasing endless check-boxes nearly cost Joe his marriage and connection with his kids.
• Doing-energy vs. being-energy—a simple mental switch that lets you leave work at work and show up 100 % at home.
• Why true leadership (at the office and at home) is more about listening than barking orders.
• Tactical routines Joe uses to unplug his brain, quiet late-night “to-do” spirals, and turn a company of one into a thriving civil-engineering firm.
• How he’s quietly testing AI inside surveying & land-development to buy back time and mentor his team.

Whether you run an agency, build subdivisions, or just can’t close your laptop at night, Joe’s raw wake-up call will help you redefine success—without sacrificing profit or your people.

👉 Watch now and take the first step from productivity addict to present, impactful leader.
