In this powerful episode of Eye Level to High Level™, host Jimmy Rios sits down with Charisse Pigott for a real, unfiltered conversation about leadership, humility, boundaries, and what it truly means to elevate as a person and as a leader.
This episode goes beyond titles and positions and dives into leadership with integrity — doing the right thing when no one is watching, leading by example, and being willing to get in the trenches with your team. Jimmy and Charisse break down why ego is the enemy of growth, how humility sets the tone for real leadership, and why saying “that’s not my pay scale” is a red flag, not a flex.
They also tackle the importance of protecting your energy, setting healthy boundaries, and unlearning old programming that keeps people stuck at an iLevel mindset. From faith over strategy to gratitude, perspective, and action, this episode is a reminder that elevation requires intention, discipline, and courage.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What real leadership looks like in action
Ego vs humility — and why confidence doesn’t require arrogance
Why boundaries are essential for mental health and growth
The power of unlearning old beliefs to truly elevate
Faith, gratitude, and perspective in the face of adversity
Treating passion projects like real businesses
A candid “Rants with Charisse” moment you won’t forget
This conversation is for anyone ready to move from Eye Level to High Level — not just in business, but in mindset, leadership, and life.

Along the way, she opens up about fear, resistance from loved ones, and the defining moments that built her resilience.

Lessons in discipline and grit from military life

In this high-impact episode of Eye Level to High Level™, host Jimmy Rios sits down once again with Tony and Derrick from Pico’s Trading Desk for a bold, no-BS conversation about trading, discipline, and what it truly takes to build wealth in today’s global economy.
This episode goes beyond charts and hype and dives straight into the mindset, risk management, and global awareness required to elevate financially.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why financial freedom requires discomfort, education, and real work
Why risk management matters more than profits in trading
A global macro view on China, Western debt, and emerging markets
The difference between a bad trader and a bad trade
Why rules, price targets, and emotional detachment are non-negotiable

Practical insights on gold, silver, copper, and physical asset ownership
Why traders and entrepreneurs should consider operating through an LLC
