    He Built a 9-Figure Business & Almost Lost His Family | George Rivera
Episode description as stored
George Rivera built a multiple nine-figure business empire, and quietly trained his own son to stop asking him for anything along the way. The world saw the revenue, the exits, the team of 40. What it didn't see was a father who missed 39 of his own son's 40 basketball games, a deathbed confession that became a life sentence, and a business built on a design flaw he didn't know how to name. Stephen Scoggins sits down with George Rivera, a 31-year entrepreneur, founder of the Buy Back Your Time formula, and creator of Founder Dad Dinners, a table where cash-rich, time-poor founders finally take off the mask. George shares the moment he had to decide whether to burn his company down or sell it, the formula he used to buy back his time without losing his edge, and why leading by outcome instead of task changed everything about how he builds teams. His son Leo, host of his own interview podcast, joins the second half of the conversation to talk about presence, confidence, and his goal of helping 50 kids find their voice. This episode is about what happens when the business you built to provide for your family quietly starts costing you the family itself, and what it actually takes to buy your time, and your presence back.
