Most people think longevity is about supplements, wearables, and annual scans.

That’s not the real problem.

The real issue is timing. By the time something shows up clearly on imaging, you’re often already behind the curve.

In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dr. Greg Burzynski, a concierge longevity physician who applies oncology-level rigor to prevention, not sick care.

We break down five breakthrough medications and supplements most people (including me) had never heard of—and two advanced blood tests that can detect cancer risk and recurrence long before scans ever will.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why aging itself should be treated as a disease
• 5 little-known longevity compounds doctors rarely talk about publicly
• The limits of scans, wearables, and “data overload”
• Two blood tests that can detect cancer signals far earlier than imaging
• How high performers should think about longevity as a strategy—not a gadget stack
• Who concierge longevity medicine is actually for (and who it’s not)

I’ve lived through cancer once.

That changes how you think about prevention.

If you’re already doing the basics - and you want the next 20% edge without drowning in noise - you need to watch this.

What if I told you the government owes you money – possibly tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars – and all you have to do is ask for it back?

I know - sounds like complete BS.

That's exactly what I thought when my buddy Justin Maxwell told me about the R&D Tax Credit while I was speaking at an event. 

But he made me an offer I couldn't refuse: 

"Let me do all the work, show you exactly what you'll get back, and you don't pay me a dime unless you keep the money."

Within a couple weeks, I had a fat check deposited directly into my bank account. 

Then more checks after that. 

Then we went backwards three years and got even more money back.

And here's the kicker – this isn't some sketchy loophole. 

It's a legitimate government incentive designed specifically for business owners like you who are innovating, creating, building, and testing new things in your business.

In this episode, Justin Maxwell from Big Life Financial breaks down exactly how the R&D Tax Credit works, who qualifies (spoiler: way more people than you think), and why your accountant probably has no idea this even exists for small businesses.

If you're spending money on AI tools, developing new products, creating new systems, testing new technologies, or basically doing anything innovative in your business – you need to listen to this episode. 

Like, right now.

KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS

Why Nobody Knows About This (And Why Your Accountant Doesn't Either)

From 1981 to 2015, the R&D Tax Credit was essentially only for Fortune 500 companies. That's why most accountants still think it's only for engineering firms and people in white lab coats. But the rules changed a decade ago, and small business owners can now tap into this incredible benefit – they just don't know it exists yet.

The "Double Dip" That Sounds Illegal But Isn't

Here's where it gets insane: You already deduct your business expenses to lower your taxable income, right? Well, the R&D Tax Credit gives you an additional credit on top of that deduction for any money you spend on innovation, development, and qualified research activities. It's literally a dollar-for-dollar write-off of your tax bill – a credit, not just another deduction.

You Can Go Backwards Three Years

Think about everything you spent money on in 2022, 2023, and 2024 developing new products, testing AI, creating new systems, hiring people to build things. You can amend your returns and get that money back. Mike got multiple direct deposits within weeks of filing.

The July 2025 Game-Changer

Previously, you had to depreciate the credit over five years. But the new bill passed on July 4th, 2025 changed everything – now you can take the full credit immediately for 2022, 2023, and 2024. Instead of waiting five years to get your money, you get it all at once. We're talking checks hitting your account in 3-6 weeks.

Who Actually Qualifies (Probably You)

If you're in tech, software, medicine, manufacturing, engineering, science, or any business where you're testing new technologies, creating new protocols, implementing AI, or developing new systems – you likely qualify. One of Justin's clients with just $450K in revenue got $5,000 back. Another with medical practices got $550,000. The range is anywhere from $2K to $500K+.

Zero Risk, Zero Upfront Cost

Justin's team does all the research, all the work, and tells you exactly what you'll get back before you pay them anything. They only get paid when you get paid. And if the IRS somehow doesn't approve it or takes the money back, they refund everything. There's literally no risk.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

What Mike loves most about this isn't just the money – it's the permission it gives you to innovate without fear. When you know you'll get a tax credit back even if your experiment fails, you take bigger swings. You hire faster. You test more. You grow. Mike used his R&D credits to hire four new people and expand internationally.

It's Not Just For "Lab Coat" Businesses

If you're creating courses, building AI workflows, developing new client onboarding systems, testing marketing automation, or prototyping new tools with your team – that counts. The key is documentation: videos, transcripts, proof you paid people, proof you spent the money on qualified activities.

• [00:17:19] The Timeline: How Fast The Money Arrives From filing to direct deposit – Justin breaks down the typical 3-6 week timeline and what to expect.
• [00:22:18] Real Numbers: $450K Revenue to $550K In Credits Justin shares actual case studies – from a small business getting $5K back to a medical practice owner receiving $390K net after fees.
• [00:25:27] The Final Offer: Zero Risk, 100% Guarantee Justin's complete breakdown of the risk-free structure – you only pay when you get paid and keep the money.

If you've ever felt like the tax code is written by rich people for rich people, this episode will change your mind.

The R&D Tax Credit was literally built for small and mid-market business owners who are innovating and taking risks. And if you haven't claimed it yet, you're leaving your money on the IRS's table for no reason.

Trust me on this one. 

I was skeptical too. 

Then I got the checks.

What if “wealth” wasn’t about hitting some magic number in your bank account… but instead about clarity, cash flow, and confidence to live a life you never have to retire from?

That’s exactly what this week’s guest, Brian Skrobonja, has helped thousands of high-net-worth entrepreneurs and business owners figure out over the last 30 years.

Brian is a nationally recognized wealth advisor, a Forbes Top 10 podcast host, and the creator of the WealthSync Process—a system that goes way beyond rates of return to align your money with your life’s bigger purpose.

We dive deep into:

• Why most people define “wealth” the wrong way
• How to think about passive income beyond real estate or investments
• The psychology of purpose after a business sale or big transition
• The tax blind spots that cost founders millions (and how to avoid them)

If you’re an entrepreneur who’s built wealth, sold a business, or are staring down a transition—you cannot afford to miss this conversation.

KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:

Wealth Isn’t a Number — It’s Purpose-Driven
Most people chase net worth goals… but often end up miserable. Brian reframes wealth as “funding your purpose,” not just padding your account.

Cash Flow is King
Assets alone don’t equal freedom. Everything should be measured against one question: “How does this affect cash flow?”

The Myth of Retirement
You can retire from a job—but you don’t want to retire from life. Align your money with activities, goals, and impact that keep you engaged and alive.

Tax Blind Spots that Burn Millions
Business exits, 401Ks, and charitable giving are often mishandled. The difference between structuring a deal before or after signing could be millions saved.

The WealthSync Process
Brian’s proprietary system ties together lifestyle goals, business exits, philanthropy, tax planning, and legacy so your money actually funds your life.

In this episode, I sit down with nationally recognized wealth advisor Brian Skrobonja to break down why the traditional wealth path is broken, how passive income actually works, and why wealth isn’t a number—it’s about clarity, confidence, and cash flow.

If you’re planning a business exit, sitting on a tax-deferred fortune, or just want to create reliable cash flow—you need this conversation.

What if I told you there’s a way to pull $10,000–$50,000 of tax-free money out of your business every year—without working harder, changing your business model, or hiring a single new person?

Sounds crazy, right? But it’s been hiding in plain sight inside the IRS code for over 50 years.

In this week’s episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with my friend Nathaniel Ely (co-founder of TheAugustaRule.com) to break down how the Augusta Rule works, why most business owners are leaving serious money on the table, and how to make sure you don’t miss out.

I’ll also share how I personally got a $40,000 tax-free check this year—and why I kicked myself when I realized I had missed out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in past years.

KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:

The Augusta Rule, Explained Simply
A 14-day tax loophole that allows business owners to rent their residence(s) to their business, tax-free.

Why Most CPAs Get It Wrong
80–90% of deductions fail because of sloppy documentation. If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist.

Multiple Homes = Multiple Opportunities
Your vacation home, second home, or even your RV may qualify. The IRS defines “residence” more broadly than you think.

Real Case Studies
From a modest ranch in Ohio ($6,700 in savings) to multi-home entrepreneurs pulling in over $100K tax-free every year.

The 10 Conditions for Compliance
We cover the step-by-step checklist to keep everything bulletproof—and why this strategy only works if you follow the rules.
