Ken Wimberly is a seasoned entrepreneur who pivoted from a failed mobile app venture to building a rapidly expanding, community-focused laundromat franchise called Laundry Love.Ken shares his journey of overcoming a financial and emotional crisis after losing $800,000 on his passion project, the Legacy of Love mobile app. He transparently discusses the depression and struggle that followed, his path to mental and physical recovery through leveraging his network, and the decision to go "all in" on the laundromat business. Now franchising his business, Ken details how he and his partner are breaking the mold of the typical laundromat by focusing on community service, family-friendly spaces, and the belief that doing good in the community, which he calls the "Trojan horse for doing good", is the ultimate path to massive profit and impact.Connect with Ken: https://kenwimberly.com/Connect With MattMatt's Personal YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatxWebsite: http://themattking.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattking.atx TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattking.atx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kingmatthewr/ Watch the podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbKAN0ZZUBLFJyuI9EQpjfRjq0Pm7kYC1#entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #laundromat #gobundance #mentalhealth #podcast The Tribe of High-Performing Men: http://gobundance.com/tribe

From childhood neglect to 800K+ in sales - and the brutal truth about why starting messy, pricing for sustainability, and giving value instead of just posting products is the only way to build a business that lasts. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Charity Boateng - a social selling powerhouse who built a six-figure feminine hygiene business from scratch using Snapchat and TikTok, revealing the exact moment when she got 100+ orders in the first 24 hours by posting one product on Snapchat and paying one influencer.

Track Interest, Committed, and Invested Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising a round of funding, most founders focus on the invested funds so far. When asked about the progress, the founder quotes the invested amount and the amount left in the raise. This undersells the traction the founder has. In addition to the invested, also track the interest and committed funds. For each investor who has some interest, ask for their level of interest. Add up all the interested investor amounts. For those who are committed but not yet invested, add up those funds as well. In discussing with prospective investors, quote the interest, commitment, and investment. This shows additional interest from investors in the round. A typical update would be, in our $1M raise, we have $600K invested, $250K committed, and interest at $800K. It's often the case that the interest and committed funds are greater than the remaining amount in the raise. This creates scarcity and generates FOMO with the investors who now see that there's not enough room to cover all potential investors. Use this to help close the fundraising round. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

In this solo episode of the Everyday Business Problems podcast, Dave Crysler tackles one of the most common questions growing companies ask: should we hire a fractional COO or a full-time COO? His answer might surprise you; you're asking the wrong question entirely. Drawing from nearly 30 years of operations leadership and his own evolution from traditional consulting to an Operations on Demand model, Dave breaks down why defining the problem you're actually trying to solve matters far more than filling a predefined role on your org chart. What You'll Discover: Why "should I hire a fractional or full-time COO?" is the wrong starting question for most growing companies. How predefined roles and titles lead to compromises that don't actually solve the real problem. The difference between what a fractional COO actually does versus what most people marketing themselves as "fractional" deliver. Why the COO role looks completely different at $800K, $8M, and $80M in revenue, and why that matters for your hiring decision. How companies end up swapping tools (HubSpot to Salesforce, etc.) when the real issue is planning, people, and process, not the technology. The shipyard story: what a ball-peen hammer and a $15,000 invoice teach us about the value of experience. What "Operations on Demand" means and how it differs from fractional leadership or traditional consulting. How to use a crawl-walk-run approach to diagnose what your organization actually needs before making a hire. If you're a growing company debating whether to bring in outside leadership help, this episode will reframe the conversation and help you focus on the problem first — before the title, the role, or the org chart.

Episode of our 3 Part Part Podcast SpecialEpisode 2 - “Building Passive Income in a Volatile Market”⭐ “Doctors who waited in 2025 lost ground. Doctors who acted built wealth and saved tens of thousands in taxes. 2026 will reward action even more.”

In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth April, a clairvoyant and remote viewer, to dive into her predictions for humanity over the next 5 years. We explore the breakdown of old systems, the global shift between love and fear, and how these changes will transform our world. We also discuss the concept of timeline hopping and how it can help us navigate uncertainty and manifest new realities.   Elizabeth opens up about her experiences with alien abductions and her use of CIA-backed remote viewing techniques to access hidden locations and gather detailed information. We also explore the profound role AI will play in our awakening process, challenging our perception of reality in ways we've never experienced before.   If you're curious about the world's evolution and how you can align with these changes to step into a more conscious future, this episode is for you. === Guest Bio: Elizabeth April (EA) is a fast-rising voice in the wellness and consciousness space, known for redefining anxiety as a powerful energetic signal, not a flaw or diagnosis.

From Tony Robbins to $800K Lost: The Entrepreneur's Red-Flag Wake-Up Call   Money wasn't talked about… but Dan learned it anyway (through a rare high-school program)  The hidden cost of ignoring red flags: Dan's $800,000 lesson in business + real estate  Why "vision is the compass" — and how to design a business around strengths (not burnout)    Dan Brault joins Rocky Lalvani on Richer Soul for a real conversation about entrepreneurship, sales, discipline, and building a business that actually supports the life you want. Dan grew up around coaching—his dad owned a Tony Robbins franchise—and he started coaching himself as early as 12 or 13 in fitness and nutrition. But when it came to money, his family didn't talk about it much—until a high school business program gave him rare financial literacy early on.  This episode also goes deep into action vs. distraction, what "good sales" feels like (hint: it shouldn't feel salesy), and the hard-earned lessons Dan learned after losing over $800,000 across two projects—along with why entrepreneurs often overlook red flags when they're excited about the upside.    7 Soul-Level Insights from Dan Brault: Financial literacy can be taught—and gamifying it helps it stick. Dan describes learning business and money fundamentals through high school classes using computer simulations—covering things like credit, checkbooks, and how money works in real life.  Most people don't take action because distraction is easier (and engineered). Dan points out that social media and "instant dopamine" options are designed to hijack attention—meaning intentional choices are required to stay on track. Sales done right doesn't feel like sales. He shares how learning the Sandler sales methodology shaped his approach: real selling is a conversation, deep understanding, and mutual fit—not pressure or manipulation. Sales, leadership, and coaching are "cousins." The common skill under all three is communication—listening, understanding needs, and guiding people toward alignment (customers, employees, partners).  Entrepreneurs often miss red flags because optimism is part of the wiring. Dan describes how future-focused excitement ("this could be amazing") can cause people to minimize risks and assume they'll "figure it out," even when warning signs are present.  A business bottleneck often signals a strengths mismatch. When someone is forced to operate in an area of friction (weakness), procrastination and underperformance show up—creating recurring bottlenecks. Align roles with strengths and performance improves.  Track energy, not just time: the "time study" audit. Dan recommends a detailed time study for a week, noting interruptions and whether each activity gives positive/neutral/negative energy—then deciding what to do more of, delegate, redesign, or cut.    Why This Conversation Matters: A lot of entrepreneurs are "all gas and no brakes." That can create momentum—but it can also lead to ignoring risk, abdicating oversight, and building a company that consumes your life. Dan's story (including the $800k loss) is a powerful reminder: growth often comes through struggle—and systems, alignment, and vision are what help you survive the hard seasons without losing yourself.    Money Learning: Dan grew up in a household where money wasn't really discussed, but he gained a strong foundation in money management through high school business education. Later, he experienced the high-stakes reality of entrepreneurship when two projects went sideways and he lost over $800,000, forcing him to liquidate assets and make major sacrifices to recover.   Key Takeaway: Your business won't outgrow who you are as a person—so if you want more freedom, clarity, and profit, you need a compelling vision, energy-aware systems, and work designed around strengths. As Dan puts it: "Vision is the compass."    Guest Bio: Dan Brault Dan Brault grew up in the coaching world—his dad owned a Tony Robbins franchise and later did executive coaching; his uncle served as the global chairman of EO (Entrepreneurs' Organization). Dan began coaching at 12–13 in fitness and nutrition, later learned the Sandler sales method during a financial services internship, and went on to coach business owners through his company LeaderOS, helping them build businesses that create more freedom, clarity, and profit.    Links: Website: LeaderOS.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/daniel.brault Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsdanbrault/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grateful-passionate-driven/   If you're feeling stretched thin, stuck in constant firefighting, or you're not sure where your time is actually going—start here: Listen to Ep 479 and pay attention to the "energy time study" idea and the "vision is the compass" framework.  This week, do a simple 5-day time + energy audit: track what you do, what interrupts you, and what drains you vs. fuels you—then cut or delegate one energy-drainer.  And if you want help turning that clarity into a business that gives you more freedom, use the links above to connect with Dan and learn more about his work through LeaderOS.    #RicherSoul #LifeBeyondMoney #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #SalesTraining #SandlerSales #StrengthsBasedLeadership #TimeManagement #EnergyManagement #VisionAndGoals #PersonalDevelopment #EntrepreneurLife #BusinessSystems #DecisionMaking #RealEstateInvesting #LessonsLearned #BusinessGrowth #TakeAction #FocusAndDiscipline    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

From Radio DJ to Nonprofit “Whisperer”: Rick Harris on Building Loyalty, Scaling Membership, and Driving Revenue With IntentionIn this episode of Uncomplicate It!, I sit down with Rick Harris, CEO of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) and a 30+ year nonprofit veteran known for transforming organizations from struggling to thriving.Rick's career started behind the mic as a radio DJ where ratings were instant, competition was constant, and audience connection wasn't optional. That foundation became his edge: listening like it matters, building loyalty on purpose, and creating the “next thing” before everyone else catches up.At APMP, Rick scaled global membership from 3,000 to 14,000+ and grew profits from $800K to $4.5M while also pioneering early equal pay strategies and long-term inclusion work rooted in fairness and retention.We cover:Why “word of mouth” is a byproduct not a growth planThe real secret of audience loyalty: listening back (not just broadcasting)How Rick engineered “bits,” competitions, and community moments that monetized without feeling salesyScaling an association by widening the “slice” (and bringing in industries who didn't know they were doing proposals)The power of a clear value proposition: don't talk about you talk about what changes for themEmail copy that converts: topical, measurable, and never copy/paste boringRevenue targets that work: strategic plan + action items + monthly measurementEqual pay as a retention strategy: remove negotiation games, pay the role, keep talentHow to keep doing inclusion work even when the landscape gets loudKey Takeaways:The work outside the “studio” (relationships + community) is what builds real growthIf you say it, demonstrate it, prove it, and promote it people followCompetition isn't just fun it's a revenue engine when designed intentionallyThe best leaders don't chase tactics they build plans they can execute and measureFair pay and inclusive leadership aren't “nice to have” they're strategicThis is a practical, no-fluff episode for leaders who want to grow membership, revenue, and influence by listening better, leading smarter, and building communities that actually stick. Connect with Rick Harris:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-harris-9310392/Follow Us:

In this episode, I'm breaking down the real ROI of marketing for boutique hotels, micro resorts, and short-term rental owners, and I'm doing it with actual numbers, not fluffy marketing talk. One of the biggest questions I hear from owners is, "What's my ROI on marketing?" And the truth is, most hospitality businesses are looking at marketing the wrong way. It's not an expense you justify month to month. It's an income-producing asset that impacts revenue, margins, and the long-term value of the business you're building. I walk through a realistic boutique hotel example and show how marketing assets like branding, email marketing, social media, and a direct booking ecosystem can conservatively add around $300,000 per year in revenue, and potentially $800K to $1M in valuation when it comes time to sell. No unicorn assumptions. No perfect markets. Just simple math and strategy that most owners are (unfortunately) not leveraging. We talk about what marketing assets actually are, why relying solely on OTAs leaves you with no leverage, and how things like pricing power, owned demand, and direct bookings give you more control over your business. I also break down why social media is not just about visibility, but credibility and conversion, and why an email list is one of the most overlooked assets in hospitality. This episode also covers what to realistically expect from a marketing agency, how to evaluate ROI beyond just "new bookings," and why sometimes the biggest win is reclaiming profit you're currently giving away in OTA fees. If you're building a boutique hotel, micro resort, STR portfolio, or even a single high-performing property and you care about long-term growth, cash flow, and exit value, this conversation will help you rethink how marketing fits into the bigger picture of your business.

We're kicking off 2026 with something different. TeaRon and BK review the independent sci-fi film Underneath: Children of the Sun, a passion project years in the making that has already pulled in over 800K views on YouTube—a major win for indie cinema.Directed by David Kirman, the film is set in 1850s Missouri, where a man's chance encounter with an alien survivor from a crashed spacecraft pulls him into a much larger intergalactic conflict. The result is an ambitious blend of Black history, cosmic politics, and generational legacy.TeaRon and BK break down the film's impressive visuals, bold ideas, and its decision to weave a slavery storyline into a sci-fi epic—while questioning whether the story fully delivers on its massive promise.Is Underneath proof of what Black audiences are craving—and a glimpse into the future of independent filmmaking—or does its ambition outpace its execution?––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Follow Us:IG: @tearonworld / @bkwitda4fa4TT: @tearon__ / @bkgostupidFB: facebook.com/UbiquitousBlacksTHRD: @ubiquitousblacks––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––About UBIQUITOUS BLACKS Podcast:Ubiquitous Blacks is an internationally focused podcast that explores similarities and differences of the Black/African diaspora experiences around the world.

In this post-Christmas edition of Talking Real Money, Don McDonald and Tom Cock dismantle one of the most seductive myths in personal finance: the promise of high returns, no risk, and tax-free income. Using the lawsuit filed by Kyle Busch against Pacific Life as a case study, they expose the dark mechanics of indexed universal life insurance—hidden commissions, opaque costs, fabricated indexes, and returns that quietly disappoint. The episode then pivots to listener questions on diversification mistakes, Roth vs. traditional 401(k)s, late-career pivots into financial advice, ETF selection for retirees, and why doing less with your portfolio almost always beats doing more. 0:04 Post-Christmas welcome, Kyle Busch jokes, and why rich people get fleeced too 1:18 Indexed Universal Life explained (and why it's not an investment) 1:45 The “bank on yourself” fantasy and why it never dies 2:27 $10.5 million in premiums and promises of $800K tax-free income 3:20 Why IULs avoid SEC and FINRA scrutiny entirely 4:21 The sixth premium notice that blew up the deal 4:41 How IULs implode if you stop paying—and why everything can vanish 5:52 “Tax-free income, high returns, no risk” exposed as marketing fiction 6:01 Hidden commissions, alleged 35% payouts, and zero disclosure 7:37 Proprietary indexes designed to benefit insurers, not investors 8:50 Internal Pacific Life doc: “Don't call yourself a financial planner” 9:57 Why consumers can't see costs, commissions, or real returns 11:37 Real-world IUL returns: roughly 3–5% annually 12:23 Why even Kyle Busch doesn't actually need life insurance 13:44 Caveat emptor—and why “Life” in the firm name should trigger alarms 14:03 Listener portfolio question: 60/15/25 isn't diversified 14:53 The S&P 500 isn't “the market” (and seven stocks prove it) 15:54 Simple global solutions vs. portfolio over-engineering 17:11 Podcast tech humor and March seminar tease 17:22 Listener praise—and teaching people how to find podcasts 18:11 2026 seminar date confirmed: March 7 19:23 Career pivot at 53: CFP vs. AFC vs. Series 65 22:02 Why fiduciary firms are hiring—and sales shops are traps 23:22 ETF selection for retirees: growth, risk, and tax efficiency 24:27 Why Morningstar confuses more than it helps 25:07 Dimensional, Avantis, and keeping portfolios simple 26:20 Final thoughts, free fiduciary consults, and year-end wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

This may be one of the most important podcasts I record for you. I'm sharing my system for taking control of my calendar—and I say most important because time is your most valuable asset. When you master how to manage it, it affects everything: your business, your family time, your health. This year alone, I started MSP Sales Partners from zero to $800K, added five full-time hires and 50+ customers, created content every week without missing a newsletter or YouTube video, had dinner with my kids almost every night, traveled for two and a half months over summer, took a fully-unplugged family trip to Spain and France, and managed 90 minutes to two hours of exercise seven days a week. I attribute ruthless time management to being able to do all of that. This episode breaks down my system: shift from reactive to proactive calendar management—stop playing defense and go on offense by designing "The Perfect Week" where you map out your ideal calendar with everything that matters (prospecting time, team meetings, exercise, kids' dinners, date nights), then lock those blocks in as busy so nobody can steal them back. Every Sunday, audit how the week went versus your perfect week, identify what's off and why, then fix it for the upcoming week. I also do quarterly off-site planning to identify the major business constraint and update my perfect week accordingly. Learn how to have the hard conversations to protect your time, why managing up and down requires showing people what's in it for them, and how this prevents the slow creep back to homeostasis where your calendar gets stolen again.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Episode 295 of Sports Cards Live closes out with a blunt, necessary conversation about responsibility in the hobby. We finish unpacking the Wilt Chamberlain PSA downgrade and move past the shock value into the real issues: PSA's grade guarantee limits, insurance caps, NDAs, and why the buyer likely absorbed the majority of the loss. We debate why a buyer would request a review on a card that sold as a PSA 10, what PSA is and is not obligated to do under its own terms, and whether exceptions behind closed doors create fairness issues for the broader hobby. The conversation also tackles a key question raised in the chat: should auction houses like Heritage bear responsibility for selling overgraded cards? From contract law to hobby ethics, we draw a clear line between counterfeit liability and misgrading reality. We explain why auction houses are middlemen, not graders, and why shifting that responsibility would create even bigger conflicts of interest. This segment also touches on reslabbing policies, reholdering versus regrading, contingent liabilities, and why older slabs represent a structural challenge no grading company wants to fully reopen. The episode winds down with broader end-of-year reflections: grading trust, accountability, collector responsibility, and why “buyer beware” still matters even in a slabbed world. We close by looking ahead to 2026, upcoming shows, the Sport Card Expo in Toronto, and continued development of the Hobby Spectrum and Spectrum Directory. In this episode: Why PSA cannot simply erase past sales or comps Grade guarantee caps and why $800K losses are not getting reimbursed NDAs, discretionary payouts, and fairness concerns Reholdering vs regrading and why that distinction matters Why auction houses are not liable for grading outcomes Counterfeit cards vs overgraded cards: a critical legal difference Buyer responsibility at the ultra-high end of the hobby Why reopening decades of grading would be chaos End-of-year reflections and what to expect in 2026 Sports Cards Live streams live every Saturday night on YouTube.

Taylor sits down with Jacob — a Bay Area tech professional turned short-term rental investor — to unpack the real story behind taking a “big swing” on a remote, high-risk property… and having it pay off.Jacob shares how growing up in San Francisco made real estate feel impossible, why a single long-distance rental accidentally sparked his investing journey, and what finally pushed him from long-term rentals into STRs.Then it gets real: an $800K lakefront property in Northern Michigan, a massive footprint (with an indoor pool), limited comps, sky-high interest rates, and the kind of renovation logistics that make most investors freeze. Jacob walks through the stress, the surprises, the launch chaos, and the unexpected part of the business he thought would be hardest… but wasn't.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Jacob believes long-term rentals rarely deliver “real” cash flow (and what surprises most first-time landlords)How he chose a Midwest market before the data was obviousWhat underwriting looks like when you don't have clean comps — and how to build guardrails anywayThe behind-the-scenes reality of renovating and furnishing from across the countryThe launch lessons you only learn when guests are arriving tomorrowWhy self-managing wasn't nearly as hard as he expectedHow one deal can change your investing path faster than you thinkIf you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, this one is a reminder that you don't need perfect certainty — you need the right protections, a real plan, and the willingness to get in the game.__Episode Sponsored By:STR SearchSTR Search is the industry leading property finder service.

San Francisco residents in the SoMa neighborhood say they've reached a breaking point. After years of worsening street conditions, open drug use, slow response times, and ongoing safety concerns, the community has taken matters into its own hands — spending over $800,000 on private security guards to patrol more than 100 city blocks.

What if a stranger inviting you to build a boat halfway around the world led to meeting your wife, building a family, and discovering your life's work? In this episode, John Caprani, video advertising specialist for home service businesses, shares his unconventional journey from Ireland to West Africa to Fiji and finally to Spain. After meeting a Swiss sailor named Hans in 2011, John packed everything for a one-way ticket to Senegal to build a 72-foot wooden sailboat. That adventure led to a job in Fiji doing construction project management, where he met his wife within six weeks, married her six months later, and became a father 10 months after that. Six years later, with two kids under three and a deep dissatisfaction with his corporate job, John made the leap into entrepreneurship at age 37. Now specializing in video advertising for home service businesses generating $1M to $5M annually, he's helped clients book $800K in 30 days and $95K in 40 days using a simple approach that most marketers overlook: putting the founder on camera and building trust through personality instead of just showcasing work. John reveals why trust matters more than perfect craftsmanship when entering someone's home, why employees can never sell as effectively as founders on video, and how narrowing his focus to home services transformed his results.   [00:02:20] The Technology That Makes the World Smaller John is in Valencia, Spain (nine hours ahead of Seattle) Zoom and modern technology make global conversations seamless Kevin used to commercial fish in Alaska before technology like this existed The ability to work from anywhere is now a reality [00:04:00] What John Does: Video Advertising for Home Service Businesses Spent years as a copywriter but found it hard to sell to uneducated buyers Shifted 18 months ago to focus specifically on home service businesses Serves businesses doing upgrades: walls, paving, air conditioning, barns, storage units, renovations, landscaping Specializes in video advertising on Facebook and Instagram only Works with businesses selling high-ticket services for the home [00:06:33] Why Home Services Is Different: Trust Over Technique Local business marketing is not as sophisticated as e-commerce or online coaching Most local businesses aren't doing video marketing at all Those who do focus on work being done (pictures of installations) which doesn't solve the real problem John's approach: focus on personality and the business owner themselves [00:08:38] Kevin's Parallel Journey: Carpet Cleaning in 1995 Started carpet cleaning and restoration business in 1995 Blew through $300K in first year following traditional industry approach Advertised "two rooms and a hallway for $59.95" (then dropped to $49.95) Key lesson: trust is huge when you're in people's homes while they're at work [00:13:04] John's Background: From Father's Business to Sailing Father was entrepreneur in publishing, graphic arts, and printing Tried entrepreneurial things as teenager but they didn't work out Spent twenties traveling, went to UK, learned woodworking skills Learned artisan craft skills, made lovely things, lived hand to mouth existence Everything changed when he got married, needed more stability [00:14:20] The Construction Years: Getting Promoted Out of Success Friend offered job in construction industry doing project management for holiday resort renovations Was good at project management, actually being on site Got promoted out of job he was good at into job he sucked at: marketing and sales Had to learn copywriting and marketing to sell to traveling business clients [00:15:40] The Big Decision: Quit at 37 with Two Kids Under Three In 2018, didn't want to stay in construction, wanted freedom Knew online meant he could travel, move countries, income unaffected Was 37, married, two kids under age three Had enough money to live for maybe three or four months Quit job in September 2018, got first couple of clients, took it from there [00:20:16] The Jockey and the Horse John likens his role to being a jockey "The horse you ride on is most of the race won" Not magic on his part, certain factors need to be in place When it works, it really works [00:22:00] The Sweet Spot: Five to Fifteen Person Teams Prefers smaller businesses: 5-15 people team Direct relationship with founder No layers of bureaucracy Say "Can you help me?" John says "Yes," they say "Okay, let 'er rip" Bigger businesses (20-30+ people) have marketing team in-house, bureaucracy, people covering their own ass [00:23:08] The Non-Negotiable: A Good Assistant on the Phone John needs business owner to have assistant who is good on the phone When leads come in, owner should NOT be doing screening or appointment setting Owners are often best salesperson but definitely not best appointment setter They start to hate it because it's beneath them, then they hate John [00:27:00] The One-Way Ticket to Senegal Hans said: "I'm not gonna buy your ticket there, but I'll pay for everything after. I want to see that you get there on your own steam" "Show up at Dakar Airport in Senegal on such and such day, I'll be there to pick you up" John packed up, sold his vehicle, got one-way ticket to Dakar Worked together for 10-11 months building the boat, launched it, did sailing together [00:27:47] The German Guy in Fiji Hans was going to sail elsewhere, John didn't want to go back to Ireland Asked Hans: "Do you know anybody else who might have something interesting?" Hans: "I know this German guy in Fiji doing work on holiday resorts" German guy called a few days later: "I need a man. Can you be here in two weeks?" John: "Would you buy me a ticket?" German: "I'll send you a ticket today" Packed up from London, jumped on plane to Fiji [00:29:40] From Project Management to Sales to Entrepreneurship Started doing dusty construction project management on site in Fiji Got better at job, got promoted to sales Had to learn about selling Led to 2018 decision: "I have these sales skills, I know copywriting, I want out of construction, let's quit and go do my own thing" [00:30:06] The Big Leap: Married, Kids, No Steady Paycheck Pretty big step going from steady paycheck to own thing Mentally tough, but felt like it was now or never at 37 with two kids under three "Gun to the head moment, and gun to the head is a great motivator" Family helped: gave them place to stay while getting on feet in Ireland Wife was rock solid: "I don't understand why you're doing this, but if you want to do it, I'll support you" [00:32:20] The Turning Point: Everything's Actually Okay About 18 months after quitting, I was constantly worried: "Is this gonna fail?" Looked at himself: "Everything's okay. We've still got a place to live. Kids still have shoes. We have food. Nobody's going hungry" "This might not be working perfectly, but it's working. I've covered the basics. We're surviving and I can grow from here" [00:33:20] Five Years Later: Life in Valencia, Spain In 2024, decided time to move on from Ireland Glad to spend those years there, reconnect with family Wanted kids to know his family, wanted wife to become Irish citizen Sold up everything, packed into two cars, road tripped from Ireland to Spain Life has become so much better since moving to Spain [00:36:00] The Integration Life: No Rules About When You Work Don't have work-life balance with entrepreneurship Do get work-life integration if you're smart about it Bring everything in, don't live by rules about finishing work at certain time or can't do anything on weekends Do what you can when you can, find time to get everything in [00:39:38] Where to Find John Website: firedigitalmarketing.com (short video explaining what he does and how it helps) Facebook: John Caprani (most active there) Can get sense of who he is, his opinions and thoughts before reaching out Best place to connect [00:42:40] Repetition Over Perfection First time around won't be perfect, won't be what you feel is perfect in your mind Kevin's coach had him make 24-25 videos in one day walking through a process Every time got more comfortable, didn't have to think about what to say, got the flow [00:44:06] What Really Works: Belief and Confidence All the fancy copywriting, hacks, tactics are good, valuable, useful But what really works better than anything else: somebody who believes in what they do and has some confidence in themselves That'll convert better than anything   KEY QUOTES "If you are an eight out of 10 at your work, but you're like 10 out of 10 in terms of a human being and being trustworthy, people would care about that more than being a 10 out of 10 in the work and maybe being a five out of 10 in the character side of things." - John Caprani "Gun to the head is a great motivator. It'll get you to do shit you wouldn't normally do." - John Caprani "You don't get work-life balance [as an entrepreneur], but you do get work-life integration if you're smart about it." - John Caprani "There's nobody but the founder of a business who really has the conviction and has enough on the line to actually sell it as effectively on video." - John Caprani "All the different fancy copywriting and hacks and tactics, in the end, what really works better than anything else is somebody who believes in what they do and has some confidence in themselves. That'll convert better than anything." - John Caprani CONNECT WITH JOHN CAPRANI

Matt sold his first company at 19 and made $100K. He sold his second at 21 and made $800K. A couple years later, he launched Clover and grew it to $8M ARR in 6 months. His secret? Insane distribution. His formula is to ignore quality—and engineer quantity instead. While everyone obsesses over viral content, Matt posts 1,000 videos across 333 accounts daily, guaranteeing a million views through pure math. No luck required. He applies the same "volume negates luck" philosophy to everything: 15,000 cold emails daily, thousands of Reddit posts to dominate SEO rankings.  Matt reveals the exact Reddit hack to guarantee #1 Google rankings, how AI agents automate everything from account creation to content generation, and why he purposely changes video metadata to trick algorithms at scale. At 23, he's cracked distribution so thoroughly that he can now incubate any business and guarantee its growth.Why You Should Listen:How posting 1,000 videos daily GUARANTEES 1M views The Reddit hack that guarantees #1 Google rankings in 7 daysWhy referral revenue is the only true sign of product-market fitThe "volume negates luck" framework that beats any growth strategyKeywords:startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, Matt Everett, Clover, growth hacking, viral marketing, SEO hacking, distribution strategy, AI automation, bootstrappingChapters:00:00:00 Intro00:01:31 Selling first company at 2000:03:54 Selling second company for $800K in 3 months00:06:37 The 1000 videos per day distribution hack00:24:39 How to guarantee #1 on Google with Reddit posts00:30:52 15,000 cold emails daily—the outbound machine00:47:27 Why 30% referral revenue is true product-market fitSend me a message to let me know what you think!

In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Nick Thompson, CEO of the Atlantic, joins me to share how the mental strategies that get you through mile 40 of a mountain race are the same ones that grow a publication from 800,000 to 1.35 million subscribers. We dive into why daily practice beats talent in both running and business, and the dark side of elite running culture that creates eating disorders. We also discuss the Signal chat scandal that drove tens of thousands of new subscriptions. Nick Thompson is the CEO of the Atlantic, which has grown profitable under his leadership after years of losses. He's also the American record holder in the 50K for runners 45+ and author of The Running Ground, a memoir exploring how running shapes life, business, and relationships.

Don and Tom tackle the creeping role of AI in financial advice—highlighting Vanguard's new “nudges” on its platform—before pivoting into lively listener calls. The show explores the balance between saving and living (including an $800K earner debating a bigger house), the risks of high-yield gimmick ETFs like QQQI, the simplicity of age-based 529 plans, and the murky rules around paying kids into Roth IRAs. Humor, skepticism, and practical guidance keep the conversation grounded, with a side of leaf blowers, Italian villas, and Tom's inevitable puns. 0:10 Don's dramatic AI apocalypse intro and Vanguard “nudges” 1:20 Squarespace rant: how customer service died 4:13 Vanguard limiting fund lists—bias toward active funds? 6:22 AI is coming for investing advice 6:35 Listener call: $800K household, cheap mortgage, “living life” vs upgrading home 10:22 House affordability rules: 25–30% PITI, low-rate lock-in dilemma 12:19 Call from Jim in Bellevue: QQQI high-yield ETF 13:44 Why covered call income funds are risky, volatile, and gimmicky 17:41 Tech focus, March 2000 parallels, why diversification beats chasing yield 19:29 Covered call strategies—why they lose upside and add complexity 22:50 Listener email from Shauna: which Utah 529 portfolio to pick 24:36 Best choice = age-based glide path, simplicity and cost advantages 26:13 Follow-up caller: Roth IRAs for kids, risk of inflated wages and IRS scrutiny 29:24 Who checks wages?

Meghan Markle's loser show returns to Netflix, Minnesota mass shooting, Will Smith's AI failure, the return of Borgwardt, evil Ellen DeGeneres, and Corey Feldman v. Monster Trucks. The Kelce brothers New Heights show is now the #1 podcast in the world following Taylor Swift's appearance. BranDon declares Travis ‘played out'. The prenup will be interesting. Kayla Nicole is clapping her trap. She's busy cleaning up dog diarrhea. List – The 25 most influential creators of 2025. How many do you know? There was another mass shooting today, this time at a Catholic School Mass in Minnesota. Robin (formally Robert) Westman was the perpetrator. We watch Meghan Markle pretend to like Chrissy Teigen on her show “With Love, Meghan”. We laugh at more Corey Feldman antics. He was once almost killed by monster trucks. He also made Dana Plato's death all about him. Ellen DeGeneres remains a bully. Mickey Rourke is unrecognizable and living in a small, sloppy house. Where is Matt Dillon? Brad Pitt finally speaks. Hugh Jackman vs Deborra-Lee Furness. BranDon's neighbor is back in the news and really wants some of billionaire David Geffen's money. Kilmar Ábrego García remains a political pawn. Cracker Barrel admits failure. Fast food is getting pretty damn expensive. Lyla eats hamburgers. India is slapped with tariffs because of Russia Elton John and Celine Dion serenade a frail Neil Diamond. Will Smith is using AI to make it look like people like his music. The Minnesota woman who dropped n-bombs at an 8-year-old is charged with misdemeanors. Maybe she'll raise another $800K. Ryan Borgwardt gets 3 months in jail for faking his death and being a borgwardt.
