Preston Brown: I was a Hustle Addict - Money Stories Ep 16

June 27, 2025

Preston Brown was the classic success story - until a call in 2019 shattered the illusion. His father was gone. And so was the meaning he'd tied to the empire he'd built.


This isn’t a story about getting rich. It’s a story about what happens after. Preston built and sold multiple businesses and built a 9-figure net worth. But it took losing his father to realize he’d traded presence for performance, and automation became the path back to love. In this conversation, Preston lays bare the emotional inheritance that shaped him, the blind spots that broke him, and the wisdom he earned on the way to reclaiming his life. What emerges is a new definition of wealth: one that begins where grind ends.


We unpack:

• The childhood moment that rewired Preston’s relationship with money

• How losing his dad triggered a complete personal and business transformation

• The silent cost of hustle culture and how to build without breaking

• The real power of automation (and how it saved more than just his time)

• A raw redefinition of wealth, success, and what it means to be free

• Why your greatest teacher might be the problem you’re trying to avoid
