In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, we sit down with Alex Machuca—founder of LeadHackers, branding advisor, and proof that true builders never stop building.
From scaling a startup to $500K/month… to bankruptcy… to calling every single customer and rebuilding trust from scratch—Alex’s story is a masterclass in grit, integrity, and relentlessness.
We talk about:
• Losing it all—and why he owned it anyway
• Rebuilding from $2,000 and a $2K course
• Working 18-hour days and loving every second
• Imposter syndrome in the big leagues
• Why delegation saved his business
• Lead gen, brand building, and being a first-time father
One of the rawest, realest convos yet—with a builder who refuses to quit.

Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance. All backed by 24/7 US-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service.

That was an amazing introduction. I really appreciate that, man. You know, you're a buddy and a colleague and someone I look up to and someone, you know, we're continuing to build a deeper bond with, so. Yeah, I was just like, remember when I said this to you after the first one, I go, "Joe, I didn't expect to like you this much." You know, I get that a lot. Welcome to another episode of Coffee's. I got to bring it for you, bro. It's likewise. You're one of my favorite people in the industry, easily, man. That time we had in New York was fun. Yeah. Great times. I got to know you and. Alex, I like to start the show off. What's your morning routine every day? I saw you ask this question to Jason Perkins on Bonzo, and I was like, "Dude, you know what my morning routine is?" I wake up, I brush my teeth, and I get right on my computer and get to work. I don't have a morning routine. That is my morning routine. I don't have a morning routine, I don't have a night routine, and it's because I work from when I wake up, like within minutes of waking up, I am on the computer. Sometimes someone's morning routine. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, everybody is like, "Yeah, you know, I drink tea," or like, "I meditate." It's like, "No, I get right to work." I do it. And you know what?
