What marketing strategies are actually working in 2025? Karla Singson shares standout tactics from a DC Mexico meetup she hosted, where 6- and 7-figure founders revealed how they're landing clients organically through Facebook groups, trade show podcast hacks, and thoughtful LinkedIn comments (no ad spend required). We also dive into Karla's own playbook: how she's built multiple businesses around authenticity, reputation, and smart delegation.

This week, we're honored to welcome Jessica DeAngelo, Chief Hiking Officer and founder of Hike to Become, with a background in global sales and strategy. Having worked with Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Nike, and Uber, Jessica made a dramatic pivot from the corporate boardroom to the hiking trail, where she discovered something profound—that nature holds the key to unlocking our greatest business potential.Jessica takes us on a journey through her transformation from high-achieving corporate executive to passionate advocate for nature-based business innovation. She describes that pivotal moment on a mountaintop in December 2023, when a simple question from her three-year-old daughter—'Mom, get off your phone'—sparked a revelation that would reshape her understanding of presence, purpose, and professional fulfillment. That moment of clarity led to her signature methodology and the creation of the Hike 31 Challenge.In this episode, we explore Jessica's accidental discovery of the transformative power of unplugged time in nature, her unique 'HIKE' methodology that combines movement, nature, technology-free time, and daily practice, and how she now guides business leaders and executives to their boldest, most innovative ideas on the trail. Join us for an inspiring conversation about finding clarity through discomfort, the science behind nature's impact on our cognitive function, and what it truly means to hike to become who you're meant to be.

David Silberman has always been passionate about ping pong. Until he realized something. No matter where he goes, ping pong players typically only have two options for a place to play: either at overpriced bars or run-down dojos.This made David realize there is a huge opportunity in this niche market. What if he can provide an alternative for the ping pong players? A place that offers more value for them at a fraction of the price.In this interview, David sits down with Ryan Atkinson to talk about his journey in growing PingPod, a self-serving ping pong establishment that runs without any onsite staff. How? by utilizing smart tech and innovative product development.  David also shares how his business ideas came about, how he invested in software development to automate his business, and the systems that he uses to make sure his business runs on autopilot. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a business owner looking to innovate and scale, this episode is packed with actionable insights you don't want to missTakeaways- Ping Pod started as a response to a lack of accessible ping pong venues.- The initial MVP was a pop-up in Manhattan that validated the business idea.- Automation and self-service are key to reducing overhead costs.- Launching during the pandemic presented unique challenges but also opportunities.- Understanding supply and demand dynamics is crucial for niche businesses.- Building your own technology can enhance operational efficiency.- Community building is a rewarding aspect of running a business.- Franchising offers a way to scale while maintaining brand integrity.- It's important to balance passion with smart business decisions.- Success in entrepreneurship requires hard work and a bit of luck.Tags: Sporting Goods, Niche Markets, Business Ideas, Product Development, Passive Income, Software DevelopmentResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/43cKzdo Connect with David: https://www.instagram.com/dsilby/?hl=en

Josh York has always been passionate about fitness. One day, while working as a fitness trainer, he realized that there is one common pitfall that prevents most people from achieving their fitness goal - a lot of people are just too busy to find time to go to the gym.  Then, it hits him. Why doesn't he put gym equipment in a van and bring it to the customers instead? This way, people can get high-quality personal training from anywhere they want! A lot of successful people told him his business idea was stupid and full of holes. But that never stopped Josh from pursuing his passion. Now, GYMGUYZ is the fastest-growing personal fitness brand, with more than  250 locations generating over $100M in revenue each year.In this interview, Josh sits down with Ryan Atkinson to talk about the business mindset, leadership quality, and networking skills you need to grow your business. They also talk about how pain & discomfort are crucial to building your mental strength, how to deal with self-doubt, and how to find the courage to start. Just like Josh, a lot of us are sitting down with business ideas and never really find the guts to execute them. Maybe this is the last piece of motivation that we need.Takeaways- Josh started Gym Guys with a van and workout gear.- The concept was to bring fitness to clients' locations.- Initial marketing involved old-school methods like handing out flyers.- Building relationships was key to acquiring clients.- Fortune favors the bold; taking action is crucial.- Mistakes are valuable lessons in entrepreneurship.- Franchising began after seven years of operation.- Pain and resilience are essential for success.- Experiencing discomfort helps build mental strength.- Focus on the process, not just the end result.Tags: Business Mindset, Service & Consulting, Business Ideas, Business Leadership, Personal Fitness, NetworkingResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/4d8Hxvy Connect with Josh: https://franchise.upflip.com/gym-guyz/
