  • Why “Every Day Sucks” Became Bill Greenblatt’s Mantra
    2025/02/07
    If you’ve ever felt like building a business is one never-ending battle, you’re not alone. Bill Greenblatt, a pioneer in the background screening industry, gets it. He built a company from a paper route mentality into a global giant—and every step of the way, something went wrong.

    In this episode, Bill and I talk about what it really takes to succeed. The setbacks. The stress. The deals that almost fell apart. The moments where quitting would’ve been easier. And yet, through it all, he kept going. We get into his wild journey—how he scaled Sterling Infosystems into an industry powerhouse, why every other competitor quit (except him), and what he learned from selling, hiring, firing, and fighting for every inch.


    Bill also breaks down his book, Every Day Sucks—why he wrote it, why success isn’t as glamorous as people think, and why he still says every single day “sucked”... but every month was his best one yet. We cover winning, leadership, trust (or lack of it), and why hiring people smarter than you is the ultimate power move.


    If you want the real, unfiltered truth about what it takes to grow a business—and why you should never quit too soon—this episode is for you.
    Bill’s book “Every Day Sucks: Billy on Business, the Business of Life” is available on Amazon and Kindle.

  • How Christian Giordano Rebuilt Architecture with Innovation
    2025/01/03
    How does someone go from humble beginnings to shaping the future of architecture? In this episode of my podcast, I talk with Christian Giordano, the president and co-owner of Mancini Duffy, a firm that’s worked with Netflix, Disney, HBO, and other global brands. Christian’s achievements are nothing short of remarkable.

    Christian shares how his struggles with dyslexia and learning difficulties as a child shaped his work ethic and drive to succeed. Encouraged by parents who never doubted his potential, Christian worked harder than most, eventually earning degrees in architecture and overcoming every obstacle in his path.


    As the driving force behind Mancini Duffy, he has transformed the firm into a leader in cutting-edge design by embracing technology like VR, AR, and AI. These tools are not only changing how buildings are designed but also speeding up the entire process, making projects more efficient and accurate. Under Christian’s leadership, the firm has grown significantly, taking on some of the most exciting and large-scale projects in the industry, including the new Netflix campus in New Jersey.


    Beyond his work, Christian is the host of the Anti-Architect Podcast, where he takes an honest look at the industry, celebrating what works and tackling what doesn’t. His story is proof that with hard work, bold decisions, and a clear purpose, it’s possible to achieve extraordinary things. Tune in to hear how Christian’s drive and vision are leaving a lasting mark on architecture.

    What does it take to go from a small-town kid with big dreams to running a firm that’s handled over $100 billion in real estate deals? Find out as I sit down with Simon Ziff, president of Ackman-Ziff Real Estate Group.

    Simon’s story isn’t just about success; it’s about the hustle, the relationships, and the decisions that shaped a career spanning decades.

    But this episode isn’t just about business. Simon lets us in on the other sides of his life—his love for genealogy, passion for tech, designing apps to pruning trees at dawn, Simon’s zest for life is as compelling as his career.If you’re looking for inspiration, real talk, and a fresh perspective on what it means to succeed while staying true to yourself, you won’t want to miss this.
