Mario Andretti on Why Mediocrity Kills Great Teams
Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 48:48
In this episode of PodCrash, Matt sits down with racing legend Mario Andretti to talk about what it really takes to win at the highest level for decades.
Mario reflects on a career spanning more than 900 races and over 100 wins, and why he never had a backup plan once he committed to racing. He shares how passion, confidence, and early wins shaped his mindset, and why he believes mediocrity is one of the biggest threats to any team or business.
They also get into what separates great teams from average ones, how to handle risk and fear in high-stakes environments, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is the only way to consistently perform at a high level. Mario explains how the same principles that win races apply directly to business, leadership, and building something that lasts.

Why You’re Always Busy But Getting Nothing Done with Nick Sonnenberg
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 • Duration 57:20
In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Nick Sonnenberg, founder and CEO of Leverage, to break down why most businesses feel busy but struggle to make real progress.
Nick shares how small inefficiencies like email, meetings, and disorganized systems quietly drain thousands of hours from teams every year and why the real problem isn’t effort, it’s how your business is structured. He explains his “return on time” framework, how to identify where time is being lost, and the simple changes that can give leaders and teams hours back every week.
They also get into what happens when a company grows too fast without the right systems, how Nick rebuilt his business after losing a co-founder, and why the best operators focus less on working harder and more on building systems that scale.

How Robert Herjavec Went from Immigrant Kid to Millions
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 • Duration 01:19:33
In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Robert Herjavec for a wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, risk, and what it really takes to build a successful business.
Robert shares the story of coming to North America as an immigrant with his parents, growing up poor, and the mindset that drove him to succeed. He and Matt discuss the blue-collar work ethic that shaped both of their careers, the importance of sales and communication in business, and why the best product doesn’t always win.
They also talk about Robert’s long-running role on Shark Tank alongside investors like Mark Cuban, including a memorable conversation where Cuban revealed that even at 12 years old he already knew he wanted to become a billionaire and own a basketball team. Robert contrasts that with his own motivation growing up: he simply didn’t want to stay poor.
Robert also shares one of the most meaningful moments of his life and the best purchase he ever made: buying his father the Cadillac he had always dreamed of owning after immigrating and working blue-collar jobs to support the family.
