  Kickin' Assets Episode 36: Julio Melara on Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Building a Legacy

  Aug 24, 202659 min

  In this episode of Kickin’ Assets, we sit down with entrepreneur Julio Melara, a longtime Louisiana media leader and business owner, to explore the risks, relationships, and leadership lessons that have shaped his career. Julio shares the story of leaving behind one of the best media jobs in Louisiana to pursue something of his own. That decision ultimately brought him to Baton Rouge, where he partnered with Ralph Acosta and spent 25 years growing the company before eventually buying out his partner and taking the business into its next chapter. Julio’s story is ultimately about evolution from young entrepreneur and media professional to business owner, mentor, community leader, and advocate for the next generation. This episode offers an honest look at what happens after the initial entrepreneurial success: learning how to scale, developing leaders, taking smarter risks, and using your influence to build something that extends beyond yourself. Whether you're an entrepreneur, business leader, or someone thinking about taking the next step in your career, Julio’s experience offers valuable lessons on risk, leadership, relationships, and building a lasting legacy.

  Kickin' Assets Episode 35: Rhett Sandusky on Building a Business That Lasts

  Aug 10, 20261h 2m

  In this episode of Kickin’ Assets, we sit down with entrepreneur Rhett Sandusky to talk about the journey from simply working hard to learning how to build a business that can grow without you. Rhett shares how growing up in Luling, Louisiana, and watching his father instill an entrepreneurial mindset shaped his approach to business from an early age. What started with a lawnmower, a weed eater, and a willingness to work eventually evolved into a much bigger entrepreneurial journey one filled with risk, failure, growth, and plenty of hard-earned lessons. Rhett's story is ultimately about growth beyond the bottom line. He talks candidly about the mistakes he made along the way, the personal changes that shaped his leadership, and the realization that building something valuable requires becoming the kind of leader people actually want to follow. Whether you're an entrepreneur trying to scale, a business owner learning how to let go, or someone simply trying to become a better leader, this episode offers an honest look at what it takes to move from hustling for success to building a lasting legacy.

  Kickin' Assets Episode 34:Guy Oliver on Building a Business and Leading with Purpose

  Jul 30, 20261h 11m

  In this episode of Kickin' Assets, we sit down with Guy Oliver, owner of GW Oliver Aquatics, for one of the most honest conversations we've had about entrepreneurship, success, and what truly matters at the end of the day. For nearly three decades, Guy has built one of Louisiana's premier commercial and residential pool companies, but he shares that his greatest growth didn't come from building pools it came from becoming a better husband, father, leader, and man. From working 16 to 18 hour days and chasing financial success to discovering that fulfillment comes through service, relationships, and faith, Guy opens up about the defining moments that transformed both his business and his life. Guy's story is about far more than entrepreneurship. It's about discovering that success without purpose eventually feels empty, and that the greatest leaders are those willing to grow personally before asking others to follow them. Whether you're building a business, raising a family, or simply trying to become a better leader, this episode is filled with timeless wisdom on humility, stewardship, and creating a legacy that extends well beyond the workplace.
