MicroVee: The Worst Business Advice I Ever Got — And How It Made Me Win or

Today’s MicroVee is a powerful reminder that bad advice can lead to great outcomes — if you trust your gut.

I sat down with Massimo Marioni from Fortune and shared one of the worst pieces of business advice I’ve ever been given… and how ignoring it helped me build a massive retail business. We also chopped it up about the best advice I got from my dad, why success isn’t about money or titles, and the biggest regret I have from my early 20s.

🎯 Whether you’re 25 or 45, this one’s a must-listen for anyone navigating growth, leadership, or how to actually win long-term.

We talk about:

• 🧠 The worst business advice I ever got — and how I flipped it

• 🤝 The lesson from my dad that changed my whole career

• 💬 Why kind candor is the missing piece in most businesses

• 🎯 How I define success (hint: it’s not money)

• 🚫 The one person you need to cut out to level up

This is for the builders, the leaders, and anyone who’s ever been told they’re doing too much. You’re not — keep going 💪
