Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby

6d ago

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Andy Oliva, Founder & CEO of Lucky Day Labs — a creative AI agency helping companies navigate one of the biggest shifts of our lifetime. This isn’t an AI hype conversation. It’s a grounded, honest discussion about where technology is actually headed — and how humans fit into the future. Andy breaks down: - Why AI isn’t here to replace people — but to free them - How businesses should adopt AI without losing culture, trust, or soul - The real risk behind chasing every new AI tool - Why creativity, judgment, and leadership still matter more than ever - What it takes to build systems that augment humans instead of eliminating them From AI voice agents to product design, customer experience, leadership philosophy, and the ethics of automation — this episode goes deeper than most AI conversations you’ll hear. If you’re a founder, operator, creative, or leader trying to make sense of AI without selling your humanity, this one’s for you.

One of the most important conversations we’ve ever had on Coffeez. Bill Inman isn’t just a data guy — he’s the man who’s been shaping how the industry thinks for more than three decades. Real estate cycles, valuation models, risk, trends, the real drivers behind the market… Bill has seen it all before everyone else. He built companies before the space had a name. He predicted shifts most people only understood years later. And he’s still operating with the sharpness of someone who refuses to coast. This episode isn’t loud. It’s precise. It’s the kind of conversation you listen to twice — especially if you’re in mortgages, real estate, or you’re trying to understand the future of housing.

Stephen Scoggins went from sleeping in a borrowed car to building multiple 8-figure companies. But here's what most people don't tell you: he almost lost everything after the exit. In this episode, Stephen reveals the framework that took him from broke to 8-figures—and then taught him how to actually KEEP the money, the health, and the sanity. You'll discover: ✅ The exact mindset shift that separated him from other entrepreneurs (it's not motivation) ✅ How to scale without self-destructing (the "Lion & Lamb" principle) ✅ Why slowing down is your biggest competitive advantage in business ✅ The spiritual framework behind sustainable success (not just hype) ✅ How pride and ego tank deals—and how to spot it before it costs you millions ✅ The exit strategy nobody teaches: what to do AFTER you win This is for founders, sales leaders, and entrepreneurs who are tired of the grind-at-all-costs mentality. Stephen breaks down how stillness, faith, and intentional leadership become your unfair advantage. If you've built something but lost yourself in the process—or you're about to—this conversation will reset your entire approach.
