  • E 193 – From Burned Out to Built Different with Gordon Parker
    May 27 2026

    In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes sits down with business partner Gordon Parker to discuss what happens when external success no longer creates internal fulfillment.

    After 35 years in the financial industry, Gordon realized he didn’t want to stop working — he wanted to stop working the way he always had. Together, Wes and Gordon share the story behind restructuring Gordon’s practice, building a team-driven model, embracing financial planning fees, and learning how to let go of control in order to create a better life and business.

    This conversation is about more than business strategy. It’s about identity, ego, trust, growth, and giving yourself permission to evolve before burnout forces the decision for you.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between where you are and what’s possible, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, freedom, and the future you’re building.

  • E 191 – How to Talk So People Will Listen with Dr. Randy Marshall
    May 13 2026

    In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes sits down with mentor, speaker, and communication expert Dr. Randy Marshall for a powerful conversation on what it really means to connect with people.

    Randy shares lessons from decades of leadership, teaching, ministry, and business—including why the best communicators aren’t necessarily the smartest people in the room, but the clearest and most authentic.

    Together, they unpack the three questions every audience is asking, the role emotion plays in communication, and why stories, simplicity, and genuine care matter more than polished presentations.
