  • Built From Within: Jeff McCall on Intrapreneurship, Turnarounds & Purpose-Driven Leadership
    Nov 18 2025

    Video version: https://youtu.be/i5EHQjIcHwI


    In this inspiring and refreshingly honest episode, host Bo Kemp interviews Jeff McCall, a rare kind of entrepreneur — one who has built thriving businesses inside some of the world’s most recognized corporations. From Hilton and Sears to TruGreen and now TurnPoint Services, Jeff has carved out a unique lane as an intrapreneur, known for transforming organizations from the inside out.

    Together, Bo and Jeff explore what it means to build within a large company and why Jeff chose this path over a traditional startup or MBA route, the turnaround mindset — how Jeff steps into underperforming divisions and leads them to new heights through clarity, vision, and operational excellence, the unique risks and rewards of intrapreneurship compared to solo entrepreneurship, Jeff’s personal journey toward fulfillment and the moment he realized that leading from within could be just as impactful — and meaningful — as founding something from scratch, how faith and values guide his leadership style and tough decisions, including those that went against popular opinion but ultimately paid off, and practical advice for mid-career professionals who may feel stuck but have untapped potential to lead, grow, and drive change within their current environments.

    This episode is for anyone who wants to lead boldly — whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or reimagining what success can look like within a larger system. Jeff’s story is proof that you don’t have to start from scratch to make a lasting impact.

  • From the Marines to the Mats: Marcos Estrada on Veterans, Valor & the Power of Ownership
    Nov 11 2025


    Video version: https://youtu.be/W3gIhch8_Lc


    In this powerful and purpose-driven episode, host Bo Kemp sits down with Marcos Estrada Sr., U.S. Marine veteran and co-founder of Valor Jiu-Jitsu, to shine a spotlight on one of America’s most undervalued entrepreneurial assets: military veterans.

    Bo and Marcos explore how the discipline, leadership, and resilience forged in military service uniquely prepare veterans to thrive as entrepreneurs — especially in an economy ripe for generational transition. Together, they unpack an exciting new vision: creating veteran-led cohorts of Entrepreneurs through Acquisition, helping veterans acquire existing small businesses as Baby Boomer owners retire — keeping companies alive, jobs intact, and wealth in motion.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about Marcos’ personal story—from his early childhood to his time in the Marine Corps, and ultimately launching Valor Jiu-Jitsu to build confidence and community through martial arts. You’ll also hear how military skills translate into entrepreneurial advantage, as well as the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian and corporate life—and why business ownership may be a better fit. Bo shares his work with the Southland Development Authority (SDA) to develop a veteran-centered business acquisition pipeline, and together they explore the deeper mission behind Valor: to empower people—especially youth—with the mental strength, discipline, and camaraderie found in jiu-jitsu.

    This episode is a tribute to the power of service, strategy, and second acts. If you're a veteran, builder, investor, or someone passionate about preserving America’s small business backbone, this is a must-listen.
