Week 24. The REALITY Of Making 10K Per Month Online: Andrew Brennan Smith

Welcome Back Winners,This week, I sat down with good friend & fellow A-Player, Andrew Brennan Smith, and the conversation was one of those rare ones that keeps circling back in your mind hours later.We talked about change—not as something to fear, but as the very thing that sharpens us. Andrew shared how he pivoted from a traditional career into the online business world, the mindset shifts that made it possible, and the hard truths of running an agency (hint: it’s not as glamorous as it looks on Instagram).One thing that stood out to me was how he defines success. It’s not about going viral or chasing the next shiny metric—it’s about keeping promises to yourself, showing up for the people you serve, and building something real.We also explored what a marathon can teach you about discipline, resilience, and your own limits… and why living as a digital nomad isn’t just about freedom, but about learning to adapt anywhere.If you’ve been questioning your path, waiting for the “perfect moment,” or wondering what it takes to turn an idea into something tangible—this episode is your reminder that investing in yourself will always be the best bet you can make.🎧 Interested in more aligned opportunities?

Week 21. RTR Finale: My Mental Health Journey

This might be the most vulnerable episode I’ve ever released....It was supposed to be another casual update in the Road to Rome series, the grand finale if you will, but what came out was something I didn’t plan—a full, unfiltered reflection on everything I’ve been navigating behind the scenes.From almost burning down my house, losing my childhood dog, crashing emotionally and financially, to nearly letting it all spiral… I talk about the breakdowns that forced me to build back differently. I used AI to help restore the audio because I didn’t want to lose this moment—it deserved to be heard.This one’s about shame, grace, and the kind of silent battles most people never talk about. If you’ve ever felt like you were holding it all together with one hand and still slipping—I see you. I was you. And I want this episode to remind you that you’re not alone in that feeling.Sometimes it’s not about avoiding the fire—it’s about surviving it with your soul intact.Thanks for listening & don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. https://www.instagram.com/jackhayes.__/

Week 20. RTR #9. Live In Race Episode!

Winners,This episode is short, messy, unfiltered—and absolutely unforgettable.I recorded it mid-run—live from the streets of Rome—about 2.5 kilometers into my first marathon. You can hear the adrenaline in my voice, the excitement of my boy Mark (shoutout for being the first-ever live guest on The Weekly Profit), and the pure chaos of doing something you never thought you’d do… until you’re doing it.We talk pace. We talk mindset. We talk about why Rome might be one of the greatest cities on Earth (coming from a guy who lived in Miami, that’s saying something). But more than that, this one’s a real-time reminder:You don’t have to have it all figured out.You just have to start.To everyone who’s followed the Road to Rome journey—thank you. This has been one of the most challenging, rewarding, and clarifying experiences of my life. And I’m still not done.Keep chasing what lights you up. Even if you’re scared. Especially if you’re scared.– JackProgress is messy—but worth documenting.Momentum multiplies when you show up for yourself.You don’t need permission to go after the version of you that’s already waiting on the other side of the pain.Inspired to finally chase your version of Rome?If you’re a builder, dreamer, or entrepreneur stuck at the starting line—DM me “ROME” on Instagram @profitjack_ and I’ll hook you up with a free Opportunity Automation Audit to help you find your dream job or client without guesswork.Let’s get you moving.https://profitjackenterprises.com/

Week 19. RTR #8. My Renewed Relationship....with Running

Winners,We’re six days out from the biggest race of our lives—26.2 miles across the ancient streets of Rome, and the feeling is real now. Today’s episode is short, raw, and reflective, recorded right after my last run in Saint Augustine before hopping the pond to Italy.This one’s less about pace… and more about presence.In this episode, I take you inside my mindset during the final taper week. I talk about:Why distance is more mental than physicalHow I redefined my relationship with strength training & runningAnd why these years—your 20s—are for going all in on the experience side of lifeI talk about learning to own my identity as an athlete again, how lifting changed my confidence, and why I believe you have to build your body and your business at the same time if you're serious about growing into the highest version of yourself.But maybe the most important part of this episode?It’s a reminder that this season of life is yours. Before the families, the forever homes, and the full calendars—these years are for getting outside your comfort zone and doing the thing. Whatever your Rome is… chase it.We don't get experiences back. But we do get to decide whether we show up fully or play it safe. I choose to show up. And I hope this episode inspires you to do the same.See you at the finish line.– JackRunning is a mental game: Train your mind for the environment you're stepping into—not just the effort.Strength training is essential: For confidence, durability, and showing up in life like a weapon.Don’t waste your figuring-it-out years: Take bold action now. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing what lights you up.Give life your best shot: You’ll never regret trying. You will regret settling.If this episode hit home and you’re ready to run your own race—whether that’s finding your dream job, scaling your business, or becoming a more aligned version of you—I’m doing free Opportunity Automation Audits this month.DM me the word “ROME” on Instagram @profitjack_ if you’re ready to stop guessing and start building a life full of aligned opportunities.https://profitjackenterprises.com/

Week 18. RTR #7. Creativity vs Creative Ambition

Hello wonderful humans. I took this one with me on a run — two and a half miles deep, thoughts flowing, and the concept of creative ambition hit me like a sledgehammer. We throw around words like “creativity” a lot, but what if there’s a higher level to it? What if the real differentiator isn’t the creativity itself, but the ambition that fuels it?In this episode, I unpack the difference between creativity and creative ambition — how one keeps you stuck in your head while the other propels you forward. It’s about taking agency over your life, your work, and your potential. The ones who move with creative ambition are the ones who build legacies.Key Takeaways:Creativity vs. Creative Ambition:Creativity without ambition is just potential energy. Creative ambition is what takes that spark and turns it into fire — a body of work, a reputation, a movement.Agency Over Your Life:The last 27 months have been about one thing for me: taking radical ownership. It’s about becoming the CEO of your life, not just the artist behind the scenes.Run the Reps — Literally and Figuratively:The run to the gym mirrored the run to Rome. We’re 7 days out from the race, and the mental game is as crucial as the physical. Whether it’s mileage or mindset, it’s the consistent reps that build the next version of you.Finding People Who See You:If you want more opportunities to be who you are, surround yourself with people who already see that version of you. They’ll call it out in you, and the world will follow.Curious about how your own creative ambition can turn into real opportunity?I’m running free Opportunity Automation Audits this week for anyone ready to level up — whether that’s landing your dream client, monetizing a skill, or finding clarity on your next move.DM me “AMBITION” if you’re in — let’s build the blueprint.https://www.instagram.com/jackhayes.__/
