Unreasonable Autonomy: Unreasonable Ideas. Unstopp

Ep 59: There is a before Rome and an after Rome. Matt Fagioli will tell you that himself, and he will tell you he still cannot fully explain what happened in that hotel room.Matt is a forty-year entrepreneur, the founder of AvaSano Studios™ and Certain Success™, and the author of Dirty Disciple. He has produced more than fifty live events and now helps coaches, consultants, and founder-led businesses sell one to many instead of one handshake at a time. His conviction is simple: you do not have a lead problem, you have a scale problem. But this conversation is not really about events. Matt walks Sarah through the collapse that took everything, the discovery that his wife Sherry loved him with none of it left, and the two a.m. moment in Rome in 2022 that arrived while he was broken, drinking, and in the middle of yet another business failure. He talks about the name God gave him, why he could not write his book for three years and then wrote it in a single day, and the trade he made when God told him to put the bottle down and pick something else up. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ What Matt learned about his own worth when the money disappeared ✔️ Why he believes God speaks first about you, and never about your business ✔️ The mechanism he uses to tell God's voice from his own ✔️ How he makes high-risk business decisions on instruction he cannot prove If you have ever wondered whether God shows up when you are at your worst instead of your best, this one is for you.

Ep 58: He had until Friday to decide. Go back to the army and the six figure stability, or keep betting on a business that had paid him nothing in two years. So he walked into his commander's office and begged for one more weekend. Parker McCumber is an army trained rocket scientist turned entrepreneur, e-commerce operator, author, and sitting city councilman in Vineyard, Utah. He grew up in the kind of poverty where asking your mom for meat at dinner makes her cry, joined the military to escape it, and has since built a life around one conviction: nobody is coming to save you, and you have an obligation to do something about it. In the first ever in studio episode of Unreasonable Autonomy, Sarah and Parker sit face to face and get into the parts of the story most people skip. The failed government contracts. The stickers he sketched in his grandmother's basement. The wife who kept the faith when he lost his. The moments he can only explain as the hand of God. And why, with a thriving business and a growing family, he keeps signing up for harder things. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ Why Parker refuses the word "balance" and what he chases instead ✔️ The simple formula he says makes success statistically unavoidable ✔️ How to tell the difference between a real mentor and an expensive one ✔️ What he actually gained in the two years he earned nothing ✔️ Why he thinks getting in your own way is an entrepreneur's biggest weakness If you are in the basement stage right now, wondering at 2am whether you are cut out for this, this one is for you.

Ep 57: Everyone in this industry will tell you the same thing: post daily, show up consistently, never break the streak. Chase Warburton is here to tell you that advice almost broke him, and that there's a better kind of discipline underneath it. Chase is a small-town Utah native, founder of GotReach, and an entrepreneur who's built his career in real estate, sales, tech, and health and wellness. He's also lived through ADHD, addiction, and a mental health battle that started at age ten. He doesn't hide any of it, and it's exactly why this conversation goes as deep as it does. When Sarah asks him what he'd tell entrepreneurs who struggle to show up every single day, the ones our whole industry rewards for consistency above almost everything else, Chase doesn't offer a productivity hack. He offers a completely different definition of discipline. One built around honoring what you actually need in a season, not white-knuckling a routine that was never built for the life you're living right now. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ Why "just post every day" is the wrong instruction for a human going through a hard season ✔️ The kind of discipline Chase says will outlast any content calendar ✔️ How he decides what to protect his energy for versus what he lets go ✔️ Why growth requires a different discomfort than the one we're used to praising ✔️ What changes when you stop being disciplined about one thing and start being disciplined about who you're becoming If you've ever felt like a failure for missing a post, skipping a week, or needing a break you weren't "supposed" to need, this one's for you.

Ep 56: Paid ads. Organic content. Pick one, right? Holly Flick says that question is the wrong place to start entirely — and the companies that figured that out are the ones sitting at nine figures. Holly is the founder of Markors Advisory, where she architects product ecosystems and customer journeys for some of the highest-grossing education and SaaS businesses in the market. Over fourteen years and two hundred-plus businesses, she's worked alongside operators like Russell Brunson at ClickFunnels, the team at Adly, and Infusionsoft (now Keap) — serving as ClickFunnels' Director of Content and Director of Digital Products through its scale past $100 million in revenue. Holly didn't come up through a marketing degree or a corporate ladder. She started as a stay-at-home mom whose daughter's medical crisis accidentally taught her how to build community online, then spent three years selling copiers door-to-door before any of the ClickFunnels-level work ever happened. In this conversation, Holly and Sarah unpack why "borrowing" an audience beats buying one, how rejection stopped being the enemy somewhere around her thousandth door knock, how she runs a consultancy for Fortune-level clients as a single mom of four, and how her view of God has completely changed since she was a little girl standing on what she thought was a pin. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ Why the companies that skip ads entirely often outgrow the ones that don't ✔️ How Holly turned a family health crisis into the community-building instinct that built her career ✔️ Why Holly says "no" isn't the enemy — and what she does instead of letting rejection stop her ✔️ How she structured her entire business around being physically present for her kids, no exceptions This one's for anyone building something big who refuses to sacrifice the people they're building it for.

Ep 55: Everyone's asking the wrong question about AI. It's not "how do I work less?" — it's "how much more can I become?" James Curran is back — the first-ever repeat guest on Unreasonable Autonomy, and for good reason. As the founder of Funnel Pulse and a dedicated funnel-building agency, James is a developer who actually speaks code, which means he sees AI from an angle most entrepreneurs simply can't. He's even building an autonomous software organization run by AI agents, with human judgment deliberately kept at the center. While the headlines scream about job cuts and replacement, James offers a contrarian frame: AI isn't here to shrink your team or your effort — it's leverage to multiply your message, serve more people, and amplify the signal you're already trying to send. "More messages, more channels." He gets tactical, too, walking through concrete moves across traffic, sales, and fulfillment that any online entrepreneur can start testing right now. But the heart of this conversation is what AI can't touch. You can outsource intelligence — you cannot outsource understanding, discernment, or responsibility. James and Sarah dig into where human connection, faith, and judgment become more valuable as the tech accelerates, not less, and why God isn't the least bit surprised by any of it. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ The reframe that turns AI from a threat into your biggest amplifier ✔️ Why "more messages, more channels" is the real opportunity — and how to dip your toes in today ✔️ Practical AI plays for traffic, sales, and fulfillment, seen through a developer's lens ✔️ The one thing you can never outsource, no matter how smart the tech gets ✔️ How faith, community, and human connection become your edge in an AI world If AI has you anxious about your relevance — or just overwhelmed by the daily pace of it — this conversation will steady you. It's a clear-eyed, faith-rooted, builder's take on using AI to amplify what you're actually called to do.

Ep 54: What if the grind you're so proud of isn't ambition — but a load you've been carrying so long you forgot you could set it down? Paul Blanchard is a transformation guide, executive coach, and self-described "concierge to the weird." For over two decades he's been obsessed with one question — what does it actually mean to be fully human? — and he has a gift for shining a light on the exact thing you're most afraid to look at, then loosening it. In this conversation, Paul dismantles almost everything you've been told about success: why "strike while the iron's hot" kills real change, why your nervous system (not your goals) decides how hard life has to be, and why ease is the bravest, most unreasonable thing you'll ever chase. A few things we get into: ✔️ The "death by a thousand cuts" trauma most high achievers never name ✔️ Why you're built to love the journey — and wired to be disappointed by the summit ✔️ A definition of freedom that has nothing to do with your bank account ✔️ Why "it's all made up" might be the best news you hear all year If you've ever sensed there's something fueling your engine you've never been brave enough to look at — press play.

Ep 53: What does it take to build a brand 40 years in the making? Matt Westmore — father, husband, and founder of purepixxi — has spent his life inside the jewelry world. He grew up in his family's South African fashion accessories business, traveled with his parents to factories in the Far East from the time he was knee-high, and went on to a corporate career through Ted Baker, MR Porter, and Nike. But it was a series of personal losses — a 20-week pregnancy loss, a redundancy from Nike, and a rare neurological diagnosis that gradually took the use of his dominant hand — that ultimately pointed him toward the brand he was meant to build. In this conversation, Matt and Sarah go deep on the long road that led to purepixxi— the "Ferrari of kids' jewelry." Born from Matt's own health journey, his four-year-old daughter's coming rite of passage, and decades of watching how the sausage really gets made in the global jewelry industry, purepixxi is a refusal to cut corners on what goes into a child's body — and a quiet challenge to an entire industry built on slogans like "hypoallergenic" that mean almost nothing. Along the way, they unpack what real mentorship looks like (Matt's dad sounds like Yoda), why a room of entrepreneurs at Funnel Hacking Live cracked something open in him that Nike's smoke machines never could, and how Matt keeps his faith intact through seasons most people would walk away from. In this episode: ✔️ Why "corporate disposability" is real — and what Matt's father saw a full year before Nike made him redundant ✔️ The truth about 24k vs. 14k vs. 9k gold, and why most kids' jewelry is built on cost-cutting instead of safety ✔️ Why "hypoallergenic" is the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" of the jewelry industry ✔️ How to choose a mentor when you don't have one, and why life mentors often beat business mentors ✔️ What it looks like to keep building — and keep believing — through grief, redundancy, and a diagnosis you never saw coming Checkout purepixxi Books Mentioned: Overdeliver by Brian Kurtz The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin Connect with Sarah on Facebook

Ep 53: I'm bringing this one back because it's never left me. This episode originally aired last year and it's one of my all-time favorites — one I still think about, still reference, and knew I had to put back in front of you. If you caught it the first time, listen again. If you missed it, today is your day. Damon Burton is an SEO genius and bestselling author of Outrank — his national SEO company has worked with the Utah Jazz, Shark Tank, Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Comcast, Charter, DirecTV, and Dish Network. He's been self-employed for 17 years and built a business that consistently out-ranks billion-dollar competitors without paying for ads. But that's not why I wanted him here. I wanted Damon because underneath the business success is a story most people never see — the oldest of seven kids, raised in lower-middle-class instability, moving from rented apartment to friends' basements to aunts' and uncles' basements. An alcoholic stepdad. A mom divorced and remarried three times. A kid who was in survival mode without even knowing it. What Damon did with all of that — and how he did it — is the kind of conversation I built this podcast to have. We go deep in this one. I'm talking childhood trauma, therapy, confronting his mom after years of silence, radical transparency with his own kids, what it means to be a peacekeeper versus a peacemaker, and why the most generous people aren't always the ones who grew up with the most. We also talk about the price of constant forward momentum, knowing when to eliminate the noise, and how a sledding trip you didn't want to go on can end up being the best night of the year. If you've ever looked at someone's success and thought they had it easier than me — this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ How Damon reverse-engineered the opposite of everything he grew up with — and turned survival instincts into a 17-year entrepreneurial track record ✔️ The tapping therapy session that led to a phone call he'd been avoiding for years — and what happened when he finally made it ✔️ The difference between being a peacekeeper and a peacemaker, and when it's worth creating chaos for the sake of truth ✔️ Why Damon bought millionaire.com after the last thing his mom ever said to him ✔️ How to be radically transparent with your kids without projecting your own baggage onto them ✔️ The one question his therapist asked about "little kid Damon" that cracked everything open ✔️ Why eliminating the noise — not adding more systems — might be the actual key to sustainable success Connect with Damon Burton: Website: https://www.damonburton.com/ Free Book: https://www.freeseobook.com/ - Outrank by Damon Burton — how to boost your Google rankings without paying for ads Books Mentioned: 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy: https://a.co/d/0bZFru3F Connect with Sarah: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahgraceallred

Ep 52: What does it look like when a self-described "nobody" — with a 0.3 GPA, a history of excuses, and a speech impediment — becomes the kind of man other men aspire to be? Chris Farrell is a Jesus-following entrepreneur, marriage advocate, and father of six homeschooled kids. Through his company Revamp Conversations, he helps entrepreneurs who are ridiculously good at what they do gain access to the people who need to know it — using podcasting, relationships, and strategic conversations. But his path here was anything but predictable. In 2019, God called Chris and his wife Jonna out of their thriving fitness studio. They didn't have a plan. They had obedience. What followed was a season of suffering, near-bankruptcy, COVID, a fourth baby, and eventually — a calling to podcasting that has become the foundation of everything he's building today. This is one of those conversations that reminds you why this podcast exists. It's not about funnels and frameworks. It's about who you become when you stop building idols and start trusting God's math. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ How Chris went from a 0.3 GPA and the "stupid kid" label to building businesses and leading a family of eight  ✔️ What "courageous obedience" actually costs — and why it's always worth it  ✔️ Why Chris believes the classic success advice of "one offer, one platform, one year" may be dangerously outdated in the age of AI  ✔️ His bold take on whether AI is from God or demonic — and what it's doing to our ability to think, wait, and connect  ✔️ Why Chris says the most important thing you'll do today is how your kids feel when they walk in the door  ✔️ The concept of "God math" — and why it changes everything about how you approach risk, family, and money Connect with Chris Farrell: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.farrell.58/  Podcasts: https://linktr.ee/PodcastsIhost  Connect with Sarah: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahgraceallred 

Ep 51: What if the ceiling on your business isn't a strategy problem—it's a belief problem? Jake Kauffman is an international high-performance coach and transformational advisor to purpose-driven, visionary men. With nearly a decade leading men's retreats in the wilderness, co-founding a healthcare tech company that scaled to $4M+ in 18 months, and coaching CEOs to breakthroughs that have moved clients from $50K months to $1.3 million months—Jake operates from a simple but radical premise: your external results are a mirror reflection of your internal world. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jake opens up about surviving childhood sexual abuse and how confronting that experience in his mid-twenties became the catalyst for everything—his career pivot, his philosophy on masculinity, and his mission to help men answer the one question that drives his entire life: What was I born to do? This isn't a conversation about hustle or hacks. It's about the beliefs that are quietly running the show—and what happens when you finally take back control. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✔️ Why the pattern reveals the problem—and how to read your results like a roadmap to your limiting beliefs  ✔️ The real reason over 90% of coaching clients revert to their old behaviors (and what actually creates sustainable change)  ✔️ How Jake flipped the traditional business funnel upside down to build a practice with a 90% client success rate and 18-month average retention  ✔️ What "upper limit" thinking is costing your business—and how one client broke through hers to go from $50K to $1.3M per month in 90 days  ✔️ Why Jake believes masculinity is under attack—and what real initiation into manhood actually looks like  ✔️ The difference between first-half-of-life ambition and second-half-of-life purpose (and why you can't stay in the first forever) If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still hitting the same wall, this episode will show you exactly where to look.

Ep 50: What do you do when the corporate dream pays well but feels completely wrong? If you're Alister Shirazi, you quit Apple and Meta, start a pressure washing business, and scale it to half a million dollars in your first year But Alister wasn't done being unreasonable. When the math on the cleaning business didn't add up to the life he wanted, he pivoted to online marketing—and when the traditional sales call grind stopped working, he did something nobody else was doing. Instead of hosting a webinar once a week like everyone told him to, he started doing one every single night. One hundred clients later, the Nightly Webinar Method was born. And that's just the business side of his story. Before any of this, Alister went to Brazil on vacation, didn't get on the return flight, met his wife, taught her iPhone repair, and built a life from scratch in a country neither of them had planned on. She'd later go from being fired on her first day in America to becoming a senior software engineer at a Fortune 50 company—and Alister gives her a lot of the credit for who he's become. This is a conversation about what happens when you stop waiting for the right time and just do the unreasonable thing. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✔️ Why Alister walked away from Apple and Meta to go pressure wash gutters—and why he'd do it again  ✔️ How one frustrated decision to skip sales calls and run a webinar instead changed everything  ✔️ The Nightly Webinar Method and why doing it every night beats doing it once a week  ✔️ The "stupid award" that drove Alister to 100 clients and why he's chasing the next one  ✔️ The $97 recurring revenue strategy that builds momentum before you ever go high-ticket  ✔️ The love story behind the business—and what building a life from scratch in Brazil taught him about partnership Connect with Alister Shirazi: Website: https://www.alister.com/  Book Mentioned: Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson: https://a.co/d/01SIHKfu  Connect with Sarah: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahgraceallred

Ep 49: What if the biggest risk isn't starting a business, but staying small to follow someone else's rules? Ashlee Latimer, mom of five and serial entrepreneur, didn't set out to build companies. She married a visionary, supported his dreams, and thought that was her role. But somewhere between a trailer park, a window cleaning business, moving to Costa Rica, and watching her husband's company get acquired…she realized something: she wasn't just along for the ride. She was meant to drive too. Now, Ashlee and her husband have built and sold four companies, currently run a SaaS business as absentee owners, and are launching another SaaS while simultaneously disrupting the coaching industry with a decentralized model. Oh, and they're raising five kids while splitting time between Texas and Michigan – what she calls her "Hannah Montana moment." But this conversation isn't about the highlight reel. It's about the deep work—the forging—that happens when you stop following the rules and start creating your own. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✔️ Why Ashlee thought entrepreneurship was about following rules (and how that nearly killed her soul)  ✔️ The moment her husband's business became "the other woman"—and what saved their marriage  ✔️ How they systemized their family the same way they systemized their business  ✔️ What it's really like to move your family to Costa Rica with no plan  ✔️ The painful truth about insecurity, people-pleasing, and showing up authentically  ✔️ Why they're breaking the guru model and building a decentralized coaching empire This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they're playing by someone else's rules…in business, marriage, or life.

Ep 48: What if the key to business longevity isn't hustle…it's integrity? Dave Larson has been in the entrepreneurial game for over three decades. He's survived three recessions, a global pandemic, and countless tech disruptions that killed off his competitors. As the founder of Sales and Marketing Technologies, he's helped over 4,800 companies grow and delivered more than $32 million in services. But here's what makes Dave's story different: he's built his business on a principle most entrepreneurs ignore: forget your wallet, focus on them. Starting at age 17 detailing cars while listening to Zig Ziglar tapes, Dave learned early that success isn't about chasing every opportunity. It's about saying no to the wrong ones. From turning down projects that wouldn't serve clients well (like a toilet-shaped dog bowl website) to walking away from industries that didn't align with his values, Dave's built a reputation on one thing: if you come to him, you'll get it finished. In this conversation, Sarah and Dave dig into the unsexy truth about building something that lasts - steady standards, family-first priorities, and the willingness to turn down money when it's not a win for everyone involved. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✔️ Why "forget your wallet" became Dave's guiding business principle  ✔️ How he survived 34 years in business through recessions, tech shifts, and a pandemic  ✔️ The moment he walked away from millions by selling his stock too early (and what it taught him)  ✔️ Why saying "no" to clients protects both your reputation and theirs  ✔️ How working with Disney, Universal, and 4,800+ other companies shaped his standards  ✔️ What a 40-year marriage teaches you about running a sustainable business This isn't another "scale fast and break things" story. This is about building something solid that survives when others collapse.

Ep 47: What do you do when your business partner's credit card processing accounts freeze, your sales team walks out, and you're literally scraping wax off carpets to get your deposit back? Brent Coppieters faced that exact moment—and chose to stay. As Vice President of Coaching at ClickFunnels and founding partner since 2006, Brent has spent nearly 20 years alongside Russell Brunson building one of the most influential coaching ecosystems in the online business world. He now leads Prime Mover and the Two CCX Mastermind, supporting over 1,600 entrepreneurs with strategy, accountability, and implementation. But his journey didn't start in a high-rise office—it started at Joe's Crab Shack with a neighbor he barely knew. In this raw conversation, Brent reveals the business cycles that nearly destroyed everything, the conversation that saved the company, and why proximity to the right people absolutely works—but only if you bring the other ingredient most people miss. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔️ Why Brent stayed when the business collapsed—and the loyalty conversation that changed ClickFunnels forever ✔️ The brutal truth about business cycles: it's not IF, it's WHEN ✔️ How proximity works—and the missing ingredient that turns it into real success ✔️ What to do when entrepreneurs sleep on airport floors to attend your mastermind ✔️ Why "forget yourself and go to work" is the antidote to pessimism ✔️ How leading with empathy creates teams that raise their game ✔️ The unexpected calling from God that kept Brent exactly where he needed to be "I couldn't leave. My bet was with Russell. If there's anybody who can get up from this, it's him."

Ep 46: What do you do when you have $27 in the bank, five kids under seven, and a mentor asking you to invest $1,000 a month you don't have? If you're Chas Wilson, you make a decision that changes everything. Chas Wilson is the CEO and founder of Master Networks and Wilson Leadership, bestselling author, and business mentor who's spent 20+ years helping entrepreneurs build businesses that fund lives worth living. But his story didn't start with success—it started with a business partner who stole everything, a declined debit card at the grocery store, and a wife who gave him six months to make it work. This conversation goes deep on what it really takes to build impact that lasts three generations. Chas reveals the mentorship strategy that taught him self-awareness, the marriage agreements that saved his family during chaos, and why most entrepreneurs fail at creating the one legacy that matters most—the four walls of their home. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✅ The $27 moment that became the turning point  ✅ Why your spouse doesn't need to see every step—just your commitment  ✅ How to raise kids who choose faith when freedom comes  ✅ The ripple effect of impact: how one mentor changed thousands of lives  ✅ What separates entrepreneurs who build legacy from those who just build revenue  ✅ The self-talk strategy that's in all three of Chas' books "Most people aren't afraid of failure. They're afraid of what would happen if they really stepped into their calling." This episode is for anyone who's ever felt the gap between where they are and where they're meant to be. For entrepreneurs choosing pain over regret. For parents who want to be remembered.

Ep 45: What if the reason your business feels complicated isn't because it IS complicated—but because you've MADE it complicated? Bud Heaton, the go-to marketing mentor and strategist for top producers in insurance, coaching, and service industries, has perfected the art of building automated marketing machines that sell without stopping. But more importantly? He's mastered the art of radical simplicity in a world obsessed with overcomplication. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bud and Sarah dive deep into the stuff that actually matters—faith, marriage, parenting, providing, and what it really means to be a "warrior at peace." Bud pulls zero punches as he unpacks why entrepreneurs lose sight of their vision, how the parable of talents rewrites our relationship with wealth, and why understanding someone's worldview changes everything. This is not your typical marketing conversation. It's a masterclass in living with integrity, building without burnout, and getting over yourself long enough to pursue what you actually want. If you've ever felt like you're dragging your team (or yourself) through the water while everyone else is wakeboarding behind you, this episode will shake you awake. In this episode, you'll discover:  ✔️ Why entrepreneurs overcomplicate everything—and the wakeboarding analogy that explains it perfectly  ✔️ How the parable of talents rewrites the Christian perspective on wealth and ambition  ✔️ The difference between "entrepreneur" and "intrapreneur" and why Bud chose the latter for years  ✔️ Why "money is the root of all evil" is incomplete theology—and what's actually missing  ✔️ How being a "girl dad" completely transformed Bud's capacity for empathy  ✔️ Why understanding worldview is the antidote to keyboard warriors and cancel culture  ✔️ What it means to be a "warrior at peace"—and why most entrepreneurs lose the battle  ✔️ How to have it all NOW instead of spending your wealth trying to reclaim your health later This episode is for entrepreneurs working harder than ever but losing what matters most, fathers who want to show up fully at home AND win in business, and anyone wrestling with the tension between ambition and faith.

Ep 44: What if grinding like the guys is actually destroying your body? Lori Finlay's health crashed at 42—hormonal chaos, chronic fatigue, and doctors telling her it was "all in her head." She refused to accept that answer. After 15 years diving into epigenetics and functional medicine, Lori healed her body. Now at 65, she's healthier and stronger than she was at 42.
