In this episode of The Money Mondays Podcast, Dan Fleyshman sits down in Las Vegas with Bradley Sugars, founder of ActionCOACH, one of the worldâs largest business coaching organizations operating in 85+ countries and responsible for billions in client revenue.
Brad shares decades of hard-earned wisdom on what truly separates struggling operators from successful business owners. From why most entrepreneurs stay stuck doing $20/hour tasks to how real wealth is built through systems, coaching, and accountability, this conversation pulls back the curtain on money, mindset, and scale.
They dive deep into:
- Why business coaching delivers a 6â7x ROI and how to know if youâre actually coachable
- The difference between being a great operator vs. a true owner
- Why âhowâ kills most goals â and what to focus on instead
- How to think about investing once youâve made money (businesses, real estate, and rules)
- Why talking about money openly is essential â especially with friends and family
- The real purpose of wealth, legacy, and giving back
Brad also breaks down his philosophy on goal-setting, investing only where youâre an expert, and why most people would rather look rich than be rich. This is a masterclass in business thinking, long-term wealth, and building a life that actually feels successful.
If you want to make more money, invest smarter, and understand wealth at a deeper level, this episode is required listening.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast, where we cover three core topics: how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. Normally, I film this podcast inside of an RV motor home that travels around the country, but I decided I'm coming to Brad Sugar's office, why not knock out back-to-back podcasts with him in his studio at his big offices here in Las Vegas, Nevada? Now, as you guys know, this podcast will be under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes, the average commute to work is 45 minutes. This episode will be between 35 and 38 minutes for your listening pleasure. Without further ado, Brad Sugar, there's so much to cover. Give us the quick two-minute bio so we get straight to the money.
