• NXTUP Podcast: From $2,700 Lost Lease to Six-Figure Leaders — Building a Recession-Proof EmpireUntitled Episode
    Feb 10 2026

    Christian Noel sits down with Michael Bannerman and Julius Ruffin, founders of HigherView Tax Services, to break down how they turned a “boring” business into a scalable machine for ownership and generational wealth.

    This isn’t about flashy startups. It’s about discipline.

    They share how choosing a recession-resistant market, focusing on a tight 90-day execution window, and going fully virtual after a $2,700 office deal collapsed unlocked national growth. Instead of gatekeeping, they trained their team in entity setup, compliance, and growth metrics—turning tax preparers into six-figure office leaders.

    This conversation is about ownership, hunger, patience, and legacy.

    If you’re ready to stop chasing vibes and start building velocity, this episode is your blueprint.

  • Building Legacy Through Faith, Family, and Excellence | Coach Tim Brown & Karmen Brown
    Feb 10 2026

    What does it really mean to build a lasting legacy?

    In this episode, Coach Tim Brown and Karmen Brown share how faith, family, and consistency turned a small gap in girls’ basketball into a community-centered movement. Rooted in Christian leadership and purpose-driven coaching, their journey reveals how everyday actions—not spotlights—create long-term impact.

    We explore the origins of the TAKE mindset (Talented Athletes and Artists competing with excellence), the mentors who shaped their leadership philosophy, and the unexpected COVID-era spark that launched the Be A Baller Podcast. From learning on the fly to persevering through slow growth, the Browns speak honestly about leadership, parenting, and vision-based decision-making.

    You’ll hear how legacy shows up years later—when former players repeat lessons learned or when children use their gifts to serve others. The episode closes with two actionable challenges to help listeners create momentum this week: connect with someone wise and lead with intentional words.

    If you’re passionate about leadership, faith, youth development, sports culture, or building a legacy that outlives titles, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
