What does it really take to build a life and then rebuild it again and again? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with entrepreneur Michael DeMos for a deeply personal conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the long road to freedom. From a childhood shaped by instability and survival to building and losing businesses, Michael shares the honest truth about what it means to bet on yourself when there is no safety net. Along the way, Michael reflects on the experiences that shaped him. Joining the Army to pay for college. Discovering the unpredictable highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Losing nearly everything and starting over multiple times. And ultimately redefining what “enough” really means. But this conversation goes far beyond business or financial success. It is about the people who show up when life breaks open. A friend who writes a check with no questions asked. Clients who become lifelong allies. And a father whose final years helped Michael understand what truly matters. Now recently retired, Michael is stepping into a new chapter. Trading deadlines and deals for exploration, family, and the freedom to “surf the wave” of whatever comes next. It is a powerful reflection on risk, purpose, relationships, and the quiet realization that wealth may not be what you accumulate. It may be what you are finally free to experience.

What is wealth? Status, security, freedom… or obligation? On The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with Rabbi Shaya Milikowsky for a wide-ranging conversation about money as a moral, emotional, and deeply human force. Together, they explore why “grappling” with ideas is a lifelong practice, how wealth can quietly distort relationships, and what it truly means to give responsibly, without turning generosity into control or performance. From a powerful story about inherited wealth and personal purpose to the unforgettable “potato chips” lesson that reshaped how Rabbi Milikowsky thought about parenting and generosity, this episode reframes wealth as both responsibility and opportunity: a vehicle to create, uplift, and build a legacy that lasts.
