Every stage of business breaks you in a different way, and nobody warns you which thing is about to break. So it always feels like you are the only one who cannot figure it out. You are not. The game just changed and nobody told you. Here is the pattern I have seen after building Foundr for over a decade and interviewing 700 founders: the person who gets you to $1 million is not the same person who gets you to $10 million. Each milestone demands you become someone new, and the hardest part is never the strategy. It is the identity shift. In this episode, I break down the three revenue walls, the million dollar wall, the five million wall, and the ten million wall, and exactly what changes and what breaks at each one. Here's what you'll take away: • The million dollar wall: why revenue plateaus because there is only one of you, and why letting go is emotionally brutal • The five million wall: the boring systems nobody wants to build, and why culture becomes a choice you make every day or it decays • The hire I tolerated for 18 months because I wanted to be liked, and how "what you walk past, you endorse" poisoned the whole team • The ten million wall: why the thing that breaks is not the business, it is your identity, and the transition from founder to CEO • Why imposter syndrome gets louder at eight figures, not quieter, and the cruel paradox that growing faster means doing less • The one piece of advice from a founder at peace with his business: only sell if you have something else you actually want to do If you are hitting a ceiling right now and cannot work out why, this episode will help you identify which wall you are approaching and who you need to become to get through it.

Fondée à Paris en 2020 par Arnaud Rihiant, Alexis Delplanque et Eric Gaudin, DJUST utilise l'IA agentique B2B pour automatiser la prise de commande. Finis les saisies manuelles dans l'ERP, les fichiers Excel et les échanges téléphoniques. En 2026, la plateforme devrait gérer aux alentours de 3 milliards d'euros de commandes pour une cinquantaine de clients, dont Socoda, Eiffage et Franprix. En octobre 2025, elle a levé 7 millions d'euros auprès de NEA, Elaia et Speedinvest pour développer sa plateforme d'IA agentique. Arnaud Rihiant analyse dans cette interview les spécificités du e-commerce B2B, le coût de la ressaisie et la conception des agents IA dans ce contexte. IA agentique B2B : du e-commerce à l'agent qui passe commande DJUST en chiffres : 2020, une cinquantaine de clients et près de 3 milliards d’euros de commandes gérées en 2026. Les illustrations de ce billet ont été réalisées avec Claude, ChatGPT et Midjourney. Les sources sont indiquées chaque fois que cela est nécessaire. Arnaud Rihiant a fait ses classes chez Mirakl, où il a accompagné pendant plus d'une décennie l'implémentation et la réussite client. C'est là, dit-il, qu'est né le constat fondateur de DJUST. Qu'est-ce qui, chez Mirakl, vous a convaincu que le B2B avait besoin de sa propre plateforme plutôt que d'un outil B2C adapté ? « DJUST a été créé en 2020 sur la base d'un constat que j'avais déjà fait chez Mirakl », explique Arnaud Rihiant. Mirakl était à l'origine très concentré sur le B2C, jusqu'à ce que de plus en plus d'acteurs du B2B s'intéressent à sa marketplace. « Je me suis rendu compte que c'était un monde qui avait beaucoup de mal à se digitaliser. Chaque projet était complexe et durait un an, deux ans, voire plus, avec des sommes astronomiques d'investissement ». La complexité tient à la nature même de l'achat B2B. « Le B2C se focalise énormément sur l'apport de trafic. On dépense beaucoup d'argent en webmarketing, en réseaux sociaux, pour faire venir les gens sur le site. Mais une fois sur un site B2C, l'acte d'achat est simple, j'ajoute au panier, je sors ma carte bleue, je paie et on n'en parle plus ». En B2B, des négociations contractuelles précèdent l'achat, avec des catalogues, des prix préférentiels et des conditions de paiement propres à chaque client, qu'il faut ensuite reporter dans la plateforme. « Quand on repart d'une solution pensée pour un acte d'achat très simple et qu'on veut y intégrer ses propres règles, c'est là que toute la complexité commence ». Vous accompagniez environ 50 clients fin 2025, pour 1,5 milliard d'euros de volumes de commandes. Où en êtes-vous aujourd'hui ? « Nous avons déjà dépassé ce montant à mi-année 2026. Je pense qu'on fera entre 2,5 et 3 milliards d'euros de volumes de commandes cette année », précise Arnaud Rihiant, qui insiste sur un second indicateur, l'adoption à périmètre constant. « Les acheteurs B2B ont tous des smartphones dans les mains. Ils sont habitués, au quotidien, à des choses simples et rapides. Quand on leur dit qu'il faut se connecter à un système lourd, potentiellement passer un coup de téléphone ou envoyer un email, ils n'ont plus le temps pour ça. Ce qu'ils veulent, c'est se connecter sur une plateforme simple, retrouver leurs prix, passer leur commande et la valider ». Un marché plus lourd qu'on ne le dit, mais moins simple à mesurer Selon la FEVAD, le e-commerce B2B a progressé de 4 % en France en 2025, dans la continuité de 2024, quand le B2C affichait une croissance plus soutenue. Un rythme plus tassé, donc, mais qui ne dit rien du poids réel du marché. « Selon certaines études, le commerce B2B en ligne pèse environ 600 milliards d'euros en France », avance Arnaud Rihiant, contre un B2C nettement plus modeste (environ 196,4 milliards d'euros). Dans ce total coexistent plusieurs canaux, dont l'EDI, cet échange automatisé entre deux systèmes d'information sans aucune interface pour l'acheteur. « L'EDI, c'est pour connecter deux systèmes entre eux, un chantier de six mois à un an, et vous n'en faites qu'un seul à la fois ». Le e-commerce B2B pèserait environ 600 milliards d’euros en France, contre 196,4 milliards pour le B2C (FEVAD, 2025). L'EDI ne va pas disparaître, estime le co-fondateur de DJUST, il va s'interconnecter avec le e-commerce et les portails B2B. « Pour moi, la grande révolution dans le B2B, ça va être l'IA. On a eu les journaux papier, puis la radio, puis la télévision, puis Internet, et à chaque fois un nouveau canal arrive sans tuer les précédents. Il en sera de même pour les agents IA ». Reste un paradoxe persistant, en 2026, l'email demeure l'un des canaux dominants de prise de commande. « Les acheteurs B2B sont souvent des gens très opérationnels, des boulangers, des gens sur les chantiers, pas toujours assis devant un ordinateur. Pour eux, passer une commande revient à envoyer un texto ou un email ». C'est précisément là, selon Arnaud Rihiant, que l'IA agentique B2B change la donne, en captant ces demandes informelles pour les transformer automatiquement en commandes structurées, sans bousculer les habitudes du client. Le e-commerce B2B pèserait environ 600 milliards d’euros en France, contre 196,4 milliards pour le B2C (FEVAD, 2025). Le vrai point de douleur, c'est la ressaisie manuelle Une étude DJUST relayée sur LinkedIn par Arnaud Rihiant indique que 80 % des équipes commerciales B2B perdent encore du temps à ressaisir manuellement des commandes dans l'ERP. « Les ERP sont des outils faits pour l'interne. Un ERP ne veut rien dire pour un client. Quand celui-ci passe une commande, il n'a que faire de vos process internes ». Le risque, ajoute-t-il, dépasse la seule productivité commerciale. « Beaucoup d'entreprises ne peuvent même plus extraire leurs données d'un ERP vieux de trente ans. C'est un vrai risque de gestion, perdre toute la donnée client, ne plus pouvoir vendre, si demain cet ERP cesse de fonctionner ». 80 % des équipes commerciales B2B perdraient encore du temps à ressaisir manuellement des commandes dans l’ERP. Le cas le plus abouti reste celui de Socoda, une alliance de distributeurs indépendants du BTP et de l'industrie, basée en région parisienne, cliente de DJUST depuis plus de quatre ans. La démarche s'est faite par étapes, une première plateforme e-commerce en self-service a permis de décharger 20 à 30 % des commandes basiques des équipes commerciales. Le second gain, plus spectaculaire, est venu de l'IA appliquée aux commandes reçues par email sous forme de fichiers Excel de plusieurs centaines de lignes. « On avait une personne à l'administration des ventes qui, ligne par ligne, contrôlait dans l'ERP s'il y avait du stock. Une commande lui prenait une après-midi ». L'IA analyse désormais le fichier, le restructure, effectue les contrôles de stock et de prix, avant de restituer le résultat à un opérateur humain pour validation. « Une personne qui passait trois heures à traiter une commande le fait aujourd'hui en moins de trente minutes. C'est notre recommandation constante, mettre en place un contrôle humain, pour éviter les effets de bord ». IA agentique B2B : un orchestrateur Interrogé sur le modèle d'IA générative utilisé, Arnaud Rihiant revendique une approche délibérément multi-LLM. « Il est important de ne pas être dépendant d'un prestataire ou d'une technologie. ChatGPT sera meilleur sur l'analyse d'images, Mistral sur les PDF, Claude sur les fichiers Excel. Chaque modèle a un peu sa spécialité ». Ce choix répond aussi à un risque de continuité de service. « Il y a beaucoup de solutions IA mono-LLM aujourd'hui, et le risque, c'est que si ce modèle tombe, tout est à refaire. Avec notre solution, si demain un des LLM tombe, que ce soit Claude, Mistral ou ChatGPT, le business continue de tourner parce que d'autres modèles prennent le relais ». DJUST observe également les modèles dits à poids ouverts, installables sur des serveurs indépendants, sans toutefois les déployer en dehors d'infrastructures offrant redondance et chiffrement des données. Cette prudence infrastructurelle éclaire aussi sa définition d'un agent. « Un agent, pour nous, c'est un orchestrateur qui appelle plusieurs modèles avec un objectif précis. On voit d'autres agents plutôt monolithiques, qui appellent un seul LLM et donnent un retour basique. J'appelle ça des agents passe-plat ». DJUST préfère décomposer chaque tâche en sous-agents spécialisés, l'un pour découper la demande, un autre pour analyser le texte, un troisième pour le PDF. « Ce processus améliore la pertinence, coûte souvent moins cher, et réduit le temps de traitement. Cette IA agentique B2B n'est pas vraiment composée de programmes, ce sont des skills envoyés à plusieurs LLM. Le temps des programmes est révolu, il faut penser en termes de workflows et de tâches ». Vers la commande vocale, et peut-être au-delà Poussé à se projeter, Arnaud Rihiant décrit un scénario où l'acheteur B2B commande directement à la voix. « C'est ce qu'on appelle le “voice to order”. Avant, on se connectait à un ordinateur pour passer une commande, puis on a eu les SMS, beaucoup de nos clients commandent déjà comme ça, demain on passera à la commande vocale ». Un moteur de règles restera cependant systématiquement sollicité pour vérifier stocks, prix et autorisations avant toute confirmation. « Il y aura toujours un cerveau de workflow qui contrôlera les stocks, les prix, les autorisations, et qui demandera confirmation ». Interrogé sur une automatisation plus poussée encore, comparable au trading algorithmique où des machines arbitrent en microsecondes entre places boursières, le dirigeant n'exclut pas que le e-commerce B2B évolue en ce sens. « On pourrait imaginer une IA qui devienne le centre d'achat d'une coopérative de boulangers, capable d'analyser les volumes de vente de chacun, les pics saisonniers, et de passer des ordres d'achat de manière autonome. On n'en est pas si loin que ça ». C'est peut-être là que se joue, au fond, l'avenir de l'IA agentique B2B, moins dans la promesse d'un agent conversationnel isolé que dans sa capacité à s'insérer, discrètement, entre un email mal formaté et un ERP qui ne comprend rien à ce que veut vraiment le client. Pour poursuivre votre lecture, découvrez Mythes et réalité du commerce agentique. Avec Arnaud Rihiant nous avons parlé d’IA agentique pour le e-commerce B2B. À propos d'Arnaud Rihiant et de DJUST Arnaud Rihiant est fondateur et dirigeant de DJUST. Il a été membre de l'équipe fondatrice de Mirakl, où il a piloté l'implémentation et la réussite client pendant plus d'une décennie, avant de lancer DJUST en 2020 pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques du commerce B2B, distincts selon lui de ceux du B2C. DJUST est une plateforme SaaS de commerce B2B fondée à Paris en 2020 par Arnaud Rihiant, Alexis Delplanque et Eric Gaudin. Elle permet aux distributeurs, industriels et fabricants de digitaliser leurs processus de vente B2B (catalogues en ligne, e-procurement, connecteurs marketplace) sans remplacer leur ERP existant. La société a levé 4 millions d'euros en amorçage auprès d'Elaia en 2020, puis 12 millions d'euros en série A en 2023 (New Enterprise Associates, Elaia), et 7 millions d'euros supplémentaires en octobre 2025 (NEA, Elaia, Speedinvest) pour développer l'IA agentique appliquée au B2B. Fin 2025, DJUST accompagnait une cinquantaine de clients (dont Eiffage, Franprix et Socoda) et gérait environ 1,5 milliard d'euros de volumes de commandes annuels.

Thanks to our Partners: NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode How does a shop owner find, develop, and trust the right person to become their number two? Shawn Gilfillan, owner and CEO of Automotive Magic, and Will Barkiewicz, General Manager and Integrator, share the evolution of a leadership partnership that started when Will applied for a technician position. Shawn quickly recognized something beyond Will's technical abilities. Their values around family, trust, service, and taking care of people aligned. Will eventually moved from running the maintenance center to becoming General Manager over both locations and the Integrator Shawn had been looking for. Their story demonstrates that developing a number two isn't about finding another version of the owner. It's about finding someone with complementary strengths, then building the trust that allows both leaders to grow into their roles. What You'll Learn Why core values can matter more than someone's original job title.How the Visionary-Integrator relationship works within EOS.Why owners shouldn't look for "another me."How responsibility and trust are earned over time.Why a strong General Manager needs the freedom to push back on the owner.How DISC profiles can improve communication and self-awareness.Why standardized protocols create consistency as leadership responsibilities expand.How a "Reboot" mindset turns mistakes into opportunities to improve the business. Finding your number two isn't about finding another you. It's about finding the person who complements you. For Shawn, that meant learning to hand over responsibility and allowing Will to "dance his own dance." For Will, it meant earning trust through communication, accountability, and a willingness to take ownership when things didn't go perfectly. The transformation happens on both sides. The General Manager learns to lead, execute, and protect the vision. The owner learns to let go, become the guide, and gradually move responsibilities off their plate. You don't hand someone the keys to the business overnight. You give them responsibility, build trust, and develop the leadership partnership one step at a time.

Lured Up Podcast 409 Live Streamed on 9/15/2026 In a world where we only get one Team GO Rocket Balloon per day, we must push on. Gible Community Day Classic was awesome and seemed strong enough to earn being the only Community Day of the month.Mega Squads was pretty fun, with 5K eggs being a bit harder to find than many would of liked. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's revisit the Balloons now that the dust has settled a bit. A good amount of response to the Balloons was not necessarily from rural Trainers, but Trainers that were advocating for them. Even thinking that there could be a silver lining to the Balloon reduction then you were immediately dismissing the needs of rural Trainers. It opens a discussion about how we create content with the assumption that you have access to engage with the gameboard in some meaningful way. We also understand how some rural Trainers live in such a barren area, that there may not be a PokéStop for miles. Two things can be true, meaning we shouldn't have to put disclaimers on everything we say, just because we are speaking to the broader playerbase. The game won't give you much time to think about anything, as the event calendar remains packed and constantly rolling on. There are plenty of events to cover in the coming weeks, but we did have the announcement and first drop of information on GO Wild Area, coming IRL to Japan and Mexico, and Globally this November. We run through what we know so far, and plan to have a trickling out of details for the event in typical, Pokémon GO Fashion. Our Professor's Principal this week is Give it time before you give it meaning. In Pokémon GO, the Balloon reduction caused a lot of emotion to overflow. To make things harder, while Scopely did come out and confirm the change, they still provided no context or explanation as to why this happened. All we can do is speculate on what is to come, and need to be prepared to accept that nothing may be coming. We discuss the balance between respecting your initial reaction to something, and not taking what you think will happen down the road as the only possible outcome. Trainers want answers, but sometimes the answer presents itself when we give it some time. No matter what happens, the game will continue to roll on.

Athan Didaskalou had bet everything on a one-year-old suitcase brand called July. Then Covid wiped out travel and nearly took the business with it. What happened next turned it into a nine-figure global company. Athan came from the agency world and sold out of two businesses to go all in; his co-founder Richard Li brought the manufacturing and supply chain muscle. They chose luggage precisely because it was hard to make and dominated by a single global player. They survived lockdown on drink bottles, kept every team member, and came out the other side with a two-year head start no competitor dared to challenge. Today July has 15 tier-one retail stores in Australia, is the official luggage of the Australian Olympic Team, and is pushing into Asia, the US and beyond. In this interview, Athan breaks down his theory of why founder-led brands beat private-equity ones, the "irrational spend" that built July's brand equity from day one, and the counterintuitive reason physical retail became their cheapest customer acquisition channel. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why July was their "15th race" - and how years of prior businesses made them lethal from day one • The irrational spend theory: why founder-led brands beat PE brands by overspending in emotional areas • How they landed the four-letter July domain and sub-five-letter social handles - and why it signals trust • Why luggage is a trust business - and how brand became their moat against the dominant global player • How drink bottles and personalization kept the wheels turning when Covid wiped out travel overnight • Why the two-year Covid shutdown handed them a head start no competitor was willing to challenge • The investor who wrote a cheque with zero due diligence - after they drove out to fix a customer's lock • Why retail became their cheapest customer acquisition channel - and the rent-to-revenue math behind it • Why the US rewards short-domain, free-returns DTC brands - and why the UK has been so much harder to crack • Why staying deliberately small is getting harder - and the first year they stopped knowing every employee's name If you're building a DTC or consumer brand, trying to compete against a dominant incumbent, or rethinking whether retail belongs in your growth plan, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about brand equity, resilience, and building something people actually trust.

Jay Haddad hated being a plumber. He lived for the weekends - free diving, waterfalls, surfing, the beach - and when he and his wife had their first daughter at 23, the outdoor life they'd promised each other suddenly got hard. On his first Father's Day, they bought some fabric from Spotlight, watched a YouTube tutorial on how to thread his mother-in-law's dusty sewing machine, and made a waterproof beach pool so their daughter had somewhere safe to play. Strangers on the beach kept stopping to ask where they could buy one. That was the moment Sunny Seekers began - with zero e-commerce experience and a first sewing attempt Jay describes as shocking. In this episode, Jay is unusually raw about the whole grind: a year of failed fabric testing, three supplier disasters in a row, the brutal reality of a seasonal product, and the personal toll of three hours of sleep a night that nearly broke him before he learned to build sustainably. What you'll learn in this interview: How the product idea came straight from Jay and his wife's own friction as new parents - and why being your own target customer can be its own form of validation The scrappiest possible start: a first prototype sewn on a borrowed machine, tested at the beach, validated by strangers walking past asking where to buy one Why sewing in a circle nearly defeated them - and how the DIY version proved the concept before a single dollar went to a factory The year lost to fabric testing: sourcing waterproof fabric on Alibaba, missing an entire summer season, and why Jay is still glad they waited to get it right How he used Alibaba's "request for quotation" feature to find a manufacturer for a product nobody had made before - and didn't even know what search terms to use The unit economics that made it a real business: fabric alone cost $130+ per pool in Australia, but a finished unit from overseas landed at ~$25 and sold for $115 Selling out the first 200 units in a month before Christmas 2024 - and the nagging question that haunted the whole next year: do people buy this after the holidays, or only as gifts? Three separate supplier nightmares - loose threads on 200 units, a botched print at the wrong scale, leaking carry bags ironed shut by hand - and how he pushed through each one right before peak season The Black Friday scaling playbook: starting at $10/day on meta, doubling ad spend as orders doubled, reaching $1,000/day, and hitting a record $50K month in December 2025 The hardest lesson of a seasonal brand: how post-Christmas ads got expensive fast, why he was left holding stock and no cash through winter, and what he changed about looking after himself mentally to survive the off-season If you've boxed yourself into an identity - your trade, your job title, the industry you happen to be in - and quietly wonder whether you could build something of your own, this episode is for you. Jay had no network, no experience, and no idea how to sew. His story is a grounded reminder that the unglamorous grind of prototypes, supplier failures, and slow seasons is exactly what turns someone from "a guy sewing in the back of the house" into a founder.

Many of you will be familiar with ISO 9001, the leading Quality Management Standard, which provides a solid foundation for managing any business. However, for certain industries, ISO 9001 alone is not enough. The built environment is one such sector, as it requires more rigorous controls to keep projects on track, ensuring safety of all involved and processes that enable documented accountability for each and every step until project delivery. BS 99001 was introduced in 2022, not to replace ISO 9001 but rather to add to existing quality management systems for those in the built environment sector. In this episode, Ian Battersby is joined by Darren Morrow, Senior Consultant at Blackmores, to explain what BS 99001 is, how it addresses challenges unique to the built environment sector and explore the clauses and how they differ from ISO 9001. You'll learn ·      What is the built environment sector? ·      Why was BS 99001 created? ·      What is BS 99001's relationship with ISO 9001? ·      How does BS 99001 differ from ISO 9001? ·      Exploring the clauses of BS 99001 ·      Where is BS 99001 going in the industry?     Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      BS 99001   In this episode, we talk about: [02:35] Episode Summary – Ian Battersby is joined by Darren Morrow to explore BS 99001, Quality Management for the Built Environment. Join them as they discuss the reason for the Standards creation, it's relation to ISO 9001 and an overview of it's main clauses. [03:30] What do we mean by the Built Environment Sector? The sector covers the whole human-made environment: ·      buildings (homes, workplaces, hospitals, schools, entertainment), ·      infrastructure (roads, rail, bridges, utilities), ·      public space (parks, squares, streets etc) On top of that, you could also add the urban environment on a large scale, the way cities and towns are planned, developed over time, connected Any profession involved could apply this standard: ·      Design and planning (town planners, architects, interior designers, landscape architects) ·      Engineering (civils, structural, M&E, transport, environmental (planning our waste, water etc) ·      Construction (delivery, PMs, QSs, SMs, trades, contractors) ·      Management (of estates/facilities, property developers, agents, surveyors, valuers) ·      Policy, regulation, compliance (local authorities, planning officials, building control, regulatory authorities, enforcement agencies) [05:00] Why was BS 99001 created?: Despite the widespread adoption of 9001 across the industry (and it being a prerequisite in many circumstances), there has continued to be a series of significant incidents, numerous reports and national enquiries. These all point to an issue with quality that a generic standard appears to have failed to address.  When this is the case, it's a sign that something more sector specific is necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The UK Building Safety Act is now being enforced, which has added more implications and requirements on contractors. BS 99001 can help to support compliance with this due to its focus on responsibilities, competency and accountabilities. [09:45] What is BS 99001's relationship with ISO 9001?: BS 99001 doesn't modify or replace ISO 9001, it builds on it for the built environment sector. ISO 9001 creates a solid foundation for any business, but because of this it is deliberately vague in it's requirements. BS 99001 in comparison is very prescriptive with what it what's businesses to do, record and evidence. [10:30] How does BS 99001 differ from ISO 9001? BS 99001 is very much aware of the project based nature of its targeted sector, so the requirements are written with this in mind. Its requirements are written to ensure all parties involved in construction projects are included, accountability is its foundation, and it looks to help facilitate a lessons learned environment for compliant businesses. [11:30] BS 99001 Clauses: 4 Context - We're all used to this clause, but there's a note to consider the nature of the interested parties, as it's a lot more prescriptive and includes: ·      Members of the public are suggested first (users of stations, tenants in social housing) ·      Owners and operators of assets (ie, the built end product) ·      Project funders/investors ·      Project owners/sponsors ·      Project teams It also requires context documents specifically taking into account commitments to social, economic and environmental sustainability. So ESG is being embedded from the start. These interested parties encourage open forums between not only all those involved in the actual construction, but those that will be affected by the project and end product. This commitment to social, economic and environmental sustainability is a theme that continues throughout the whole Standard. Some businesses that already hold certification to Standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 think they may already have all of this covered, and in many ways they would be correct, however those typically apply to the business as a whole whereas BS 99001 incorporates everything in and around the project rather than treating projects as a separate entity – which is how other ISO Standards act in this sector. [15:40] BS 99001 Clauses: 5 Leadership – The specific requirement states: 'Top management shall ensure that a competent person is appointed as the management representative with oversight of quality for projects the organization is involved in or plans to be involved in' This may seem like an old-fashioned approach, however the need for competency in this sector is paramount. Organisational roles, responsibilities and authorities for Quality Management roles with clear competence and impartiality / independence criteria are explicitly stated. What was once a role that may have not held the power to stop a project like Health & Safety roles, now has that ability. If something is raised as a quality concern, then there is a strong argument for that becoming a safety risk down the line. It's better to fix something early on than to have it become a bigger problem, therefore, significance to the roles that point out these issues have been given the power they deserve in the project management process. [20:00] BS 99001 Clauses: 6 Planning – Risk management is an essential part of BS 99001, Clause 6 is where the requirements for risks and opportunities is explicitly stated, however, these are references multiple times throughout the Standard. There are specific Risk requirements to take account of are: ·      Projects it is involved in or plans to be involved in; ·      The process of construction and the subsequent use of the asset; ·      The organization as a whole; and ·      Society the economy and the environment. Many construction companies will be tendering for multiple jobs, so it's a good opportunity to build a robust risk register that gets added to with each project. Learning from one project should be used to help you to bid for the next one. Keeping track of these should also be done so you can inform your interested parties of the risks involved, and any subsequent lessons learnt should also be of value to your supply chain. One key group that often gets overlooked is the Funders, they'll have a particular interest in the risks and to have all the knowledge available about what they're funding. Having records to answer their questions will keep them happy or at least informed. Objective requirements include: ·      Quality objectives for each project, to reflect contractual and other requirements ·      Evidence of the following considerations in objectives: ·      Defined scope, time, cost and project lifecycle ·      Social, economic and environmental commitments ·      Collaboration with interested parties In ISO 9001, the objectives are set from the business level, but in BS 99001 these are aimed at the project level. [24:10] BS 99001 Clauses: 7 Support – As mentioned, people and competence is a big focus for BS 99001. Evidence for competence arrangements include: ·      Project / contract specific roles and responsibilities - formally assigned ·      Formal process(es) for determining competence ·      Competence arrangements relating to all people working on the organisation's behalf There are also verification processes for all external providers, including the need for: ·      Authorities for approval of operations, processes, design, production, inspection and tests ·      Competence arrangements for management representative(s) specifically regarding quality ·      Evidence that competence arrangements take into account requirements of interested parties It's up to the business to make sure they can prove people are competent for the roles they are assigned, which is why there is a lot of detail in this area. Documented information is also key, as this provides a traceable and auditable path of accountability. Again, BS 99001 is a lot more prescriptive on this clause when compared to ISO 9001. BS 99001 requires documentation of: ·      Process(es) to ensure awareness of statutory / regulatory requirements specifically relating to documented information (eg, building information, product safety, structure, maintenance, retention timeframes) ·      Approval methods and authorities for the different types of documented information ·      Communication / availability / control of changes to documented information to interested parties Now this doesn't mean you have to drown yourself in paperwork! These can all be stored as electronic records. This clause also sees a lot of repetition with areas such as risk, however this is simply the nature of Standards. They operate on the Plan Do Check Act cycle, you plan to do something, you do it, you check, you've done it, and you act on it. This repetition is there for a reason, documenting information especially as you need to prove that your final deliverable is safe, that it's operational and that it can be maintained. While documentation may seem like a painful process in the early phases of a construction job, it will serve you well once the project is completed as when you get to the point of handover, everything is already done and all required information is readily available for those interested parties. [31:55] BS 99001 Clauses: 9 Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation – In ISO 9001, it's largely up to the organisation to determine what they monitor and measure, however in BS 99001 there are specific which must be measured, including: [28:30] BS 99001 Clauses: 8 Operation – This, like in most other Standards, is where the bulk of additional requirements sits. 8.3 Design includes: ·      Re-iterates the need to appropriate design processes at organisation and project level ·      Clear definitions of roles and responsibilities ·      Review, verification, validation, approvals and associated competences ·      Inclusion of interested partes ·      Compatibility between parties and their designs ·      Design maturity/novelty ·      Documentation needs ·      Life-cycle ·      Addressing of regulatory requirements, product safety 8.4 Control of externally provided products and services - Again, 9001 allows an organisation to determine its own controls over the supply chain (according to risk). But here, the standard specifically acknowledges the issues with supply chain which partly gave rise to it. It starts with defining the authority to approve suppliers The rest of clause 8 (Control of production and service provision) continues in similar detailed fashion, matching similar themes When we get to 8.7 (Control of nonconforming process outputs, products and services), we see the need to define specific roles, responsibilities and processes It also includes specific requirements for: ·      Evidence of reports to design team regarding design root causes ·      Close out of corrections ·      Agreements of interested parties to corrective action ·      Concession/design change notifications to design authority [35:45] BS 99001 Clauses: 9 Internal Audit – BS 99001's internal audits must be risk-based and include projects. You also need to evidence audit results being reported to interested parties. It also goes without saying that you need evidence of auditor competence. Where Management review is concerned, you must include specific information on the performance of projects, and also evidence management review outputs being reported to interested parties. [37:45] Where is BS 99001 going in the industry? – Currently, this is a Standard that applies more to bigger multi-million pound projects. However, Darren is seeing more of the requirements being pushed down the supply chain. We do see that happen with the likes of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified organisations doing much the same with their supply chains. But BS 99001 differs as it explicitly promotes pushing its requirements down the supply chain, it's not just a passive affect, it's something to be actioned through leadership by promoting quality management. [39:55] Top Tip – If this Standard is applicable you, we highly recommend you complete a Gap Analysis, even if you're already certified to ISO 9001. This Standard differs quite a bit and ISO 9001 misses the requirements that cover the project life-cycle, sustainability and social aspects that BS 99001 focuses on. At a basic level, ensure that your skilled people have their competences ready and available for if a client requires that information. [41:30] The advantage of BS 99001 – BS 99001 ensure that your business can plan well and protect itself with the required record keeping. If things go wrong, you have the documentation to protect yourself, and with the additional planning requirements, you can minimise the risk involved in projects before things have a chance to go wrong. If you are in the Construction Industry, this Standard is worth looking into. If you'd like any assistance with implementing or supporting BS 99001, get in touch with us, we'd be happy to help!

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode What is your auto repair business really worth, and are you building it to become more valuable every year? Coach Chris Cotton, podcast host on the Automotive Repair Podcast Network, challenges shop owners to look beyond today's sales and profits and start thinking about the long-term value of the business they're building. Many owners spend years on the operational hamster wheel, focused on car count, payroll, production, and this month's bottom line. But when it's time to sell, transition the business to the next generation, or simply step away from daily operations, buyers and banks look much deeper. Chris explains why clean financials, documented systems, owner independence, and intentional succession planning can transform a shop from a business that provides the owner a job into an enterprise with significant transferable value. What You'll Learn Why profitability and business valuation aren't the same thing.What buyers and banks want to see before financing an acquisition.Why removing the owner from daily operations can increase business value.How documented systems and protocols make a shop more transferable.Why clean financial statements and tax records are critical to valuation.Chris Cotton's five stages of shop ownership, from daily survival to eventual exit.How increasing capacity can grow value without necessarily adding locations.Why succession and exit planning should begin years before you're ready to leave. Don't just build a profitable shop. Build a valuable business. Create strong systems. Develop leaders. Clean up the financials. Build capacity. Reduce owner dependence. And understand what your business is worth long before you're ready to sell it.

I am going to tell you about the dumbest thing I have done in 12 years of building Foundr. It is not a bad hire or a failed launch. It is something far more dangerous, because I did not even realise I was doing it. For four years I took my eye off the thing that built this entire business, and by the time I noticed, I had left years of growth on the table. Here is the trap: when your monetisation engine is printing money, it gives you permission to be complacent about the thing that is actually feeding it. The better the downstream business performed, the less attention we gave the upstream asset driving all of it. In this episode, I get honest about how our podcast drifted into autopilot for years, the signals that told me my core was neglected, and the aggressive refocus that brought it back. Here's what you'll take away: • Why "fine" can be the most dangerous word in business, and how success itself makes you complacent about what got you there • The four warning signs your core product is drifting, from flattening growth to customer feedback getting generic • Why your best people gravitate to the new shiny thing and your core quietly gets the B team • What Gary Vaynerchuk told me about never being complacent when one channel is winning, and why I resisted it at first • The packaging lesson that blew my mind: how two identical-quality episodes got wildly different results based on title and thumbnail alone • The three question test I now run on every new initiative to tell a real opportunity from a distraction in disguise If things in your business are going "fine" right now, this episode is a warning worth heeding. Ask yourself when you last personally touched your core product and obsessed over making it better, because if it is not recent, you might already be on autopilot.

Season 5, Episode 32: Your First 1,000 Customers: The 24-Month Road MapEvery pest control owner wants more leads, but more leads alone don't build a successful pest control company.In Season 5, Episode 32 of the Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis gets back to the fundamentals and addresses one of the most common questions he hears from smaller pest control companies:"I want to grow, but where do I actually start?"If you have fewer than 100 recurring customers, it's easy to become overwhelmed by everything being sold online: SEO, Google Ads, LSA, Facebook leads, AI, CRM systems, websites, social media, and companies promising cheap leads and instant success.Instead of chasing the latest marketing tactic, Casey lays out a much simpler objective:Build your first 1,000 recurring customers.The first 24 months should focus on building the foundation of the Pest Control Success Pyramid: Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).The objective isn't simply generating transactions. It's systematically acquiring customers, converting them to recurring service, retaining 90% or more of them, and creating predictable revenue that you can build upon year after year.Why recurring customers should be the foundation of your businessThe road from fewer than 100 customers to 1,000+Why 1,000 recurring customers can transform a small pest control companyHow to calculate the leads and sales needed to reach your goalWhat to focus on during your first 90 daysWhen to invest in your website, SEO, Google Ads and LSAWhy you need a CRM and sales pipeline before aggressively buying leadsHow much a smaller company should consider investing in marketingWhy cheap leads aren't necessarily profitable leadsThe importance of tracking customer acquisition costHow phone skills and follow-up directly affect marketing ROIUsing reviews, referrals, email and SMS to accelerate growthWhen to increase your advertising investmentWhy 90%+ customer retention is critical to long-term growth1. MRR - Monthly Recurring RevenueBuild your foundation with recurring pest control customers.2. ARR - Annual Recurring RevenueAdd repeatable annual and seasonal services such as mosquito, termite renewals, flea and tick, rodent programs and other services appropriate for your market.3. One-Shot TreatmentsGenerate additional revenue from termites, bed bugs, rodents, wildlife, exclusions, and specialty services while looking for opportunities to convert those customers into recurring relationships.The lesson is simple:Don't build your company from the top of the pyramid down. Build the foundation first.If you're sitting at 50, 75 or 100 recurring customers, don't worry about the competitor with 10,000.Get to 250.Then 500.Then 750.Then 1,000 recurring customers.Build your website. Build your reputation. Create your CRM. Develop your sales process. Generate opportunities. Follow up. Measure acquisition costs. Deliver excellent service. Retain the customers you've worked so hard to acquire.There may not be a shortcut to building a great pest control company, but there absolutely can be a road map.Rhino Pest Control Marketing

Lured Up Podcast 408: Deflating Balloons Live Streamed on - 9/10/2026 What a week it has been in Pokémon GO! Last weekend we had the GO Fest: Mega Finale, which came up a bit short for some Trainers. While we all play this game differently, the lack of Field Research seemed to impact everyone. The event would have felt a bit more rounded if we had it. We also discuss the increased Shiny rate that was advertised as part of the GO Pass Deluxe, but didn't feel real during the event.  The event train continues to steam on, as we have Mega Squads this week and Gible Community Day Classic this weekend. The calendar is actually stacked for the rest of the month, including the Boston City Safari, that both Adam and I will be attending. Scopely released their map of the Eevee Stamp Rally and it is bonkers! We are ready for the challenge however and will be completing the entire thing on Saturday, 9/26! Stay tuned for details on out adventure if you would like to join us! The big news this week has been about Scopely silently nerfing Rocket Balloons down to just one a day. While you would think this isn't that big a deal, apparently all of X happens to be diehard balloon grinders. Ken mixes it up in the swamp and has some fun, but still managed to put together a nice blog that details his thoughts on why this could have happened. Could there be a silver lining in there somewhere? Finally, our Professor's Principle is about how easy it can be to confuse inconvenience for injustice. We find the parallel between life and Pokémon GO using the balloon situation as a palette. When things become so engrained in our daily routines, having that changed feels like a personal attack. We do our best to make sense of the situation and detail what could be the actual motivation behind the change. Will we ever get an official statement for Scopely about it? Probably not, so let's inappropriately speculate on it instead!

Instagram's own internal research showed its algorithm was damaging teenage girls, and Meta kept it running because the engagement was worth the ad revenue. In this Brand Retro episode, Mike Brevik breaks down what more than 40 state lawsuits against Meta and a quiet YouTube view-count rewrite reveal about the platforms every brand is building on, then flips the story with two campaigns, Spotify's hyperlocal billboards and Heinz's bride bib, that won by listening instead of chasing the algorithm. KEY TAKEAWAYS Meta is facing lawsuits from more than 40 US states after internal research showed Instagram's algorithm was linked to anxiety, depression, and body image harm in teen girls, and the company kept it running anyway. YouTube quietly rewrote how it counts Shorts views to stay competitive with TikTok, a reminder that platform metrics are defined by whoever owns the platform, not by an objective standard. The brands in the strongest long-term position are not the biggest spenders. They are the ones who own their audience through email and SMS and are not entirely dependent on an algorithm to reach people. Spotify's hyperlocal billboard campaign and Heinz's bride bib prove the same lesson: listening to what an audience is already doing and saying beats guessing at what they might respond to. Build through platforms, not on them. Use algorithm-driven reach while it's available, but never treat it as the foundation. LINKS AND RESOURCES Brand Retro Podcast: brandretro.com Cyberdogz Agency: cyberdogzmarketing.com Mike Brevik: mike@cyberdogzmarketing.com KEYWORDS Instagram algorithm, YouTube view counts, Meta lawsuit, teen mental health, platform risk, algorithm dependency, owned audience marketing, email marketing ROI, Spotify Wrapped, hyperlocal marketing, Heinz marketing campaign, viral marketing trends, social media regulation, Frances Haugen, brand resilience, platform-proof branding, Mike Brevik, Brand Retro EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00:00 - 00:01:00] Mike opens with the episode's three threads: Instagram's internal research, YouTube's quiet view-count change, and a ketchup brand that read its audience better than most marketing teams. [00:03:00 - 00:05:00] YouTube quietly rewrote how it counts Shorts views to compete with TikTok, and Mike explains why the platforms define those numbers however keeps people on the app. [00:05:00 - 00:07:00] More than 40 state attorneys general are suing Meta over documents showing Instagram's own research linked the platform to anxiety, depression, and body image harm in teen girls. [00:07:00 - 00:08:00] Mike reframes the lawsuits as a preview: every major platform is heading toward tighter rules, and resilience matters more than ad budget. [00:08:00 - 00:11:00] Spotify's hyperlocal billboard campaign turns real user playlist names into city-specific ads, Mike's example of listening before posting. [00:11:00 - 00:13:00] Heinz spots a viral wedding drive-thru trend and launches an actual bride bib instead of just posting about it. [00:13:00 - 00:14:00] Mike lays out the four takeaways: build through the platform, own your audience, listen before you post, and use the algorithm without depending on it.

Mariam Naficy sold her first company for over $100 million in cash - two weeks before the Nasdaq crashed in 2000. Then she did something harder. She built Minted, a crowdsourced design marketplace her own investors thought was weird, watched it generate zero sales for its first month, and was one day away from shutting it down when it turned the corner and took off like a rocket ship. Today Minted does around $300 million a year, and she's now chairwoman while building her third company, Arcade, an AI-to-physical-product marketplace that's already raised $42 million. In this interview, Mariam breaks down why she handed product decisions entirely over to the crowd, how she survived the 2008 financial crisis by going premium, and the viral loop she deliberately engineers into every business she starts. What you'll learn in this interview: • How she landed the Eve.com domain with 1% equity, a board seat, and a Disneyland trip - for a five-year-old • Why color cosmetics flying off the shelves revealed a market nobody thought existed online • How a low-budget crowdsourced design contest saved Minted from bankruptcy after a month of zero sales • Why she trusted the crowd over industry experts - and invented the photo Save the Date in the process • How going premium let Minted grow straight through the 2008 financial crisis • The virality principle: why she won't start a business without a built-in product-driven loop • Why every hire - even designers - had to pass a financial modeling test • How she scaled greeting cards into Target and Whole Foods - and why home decor didn't work • The exact mindset that got her through nearly shutting down: stop caring what anyone thinks • Why Arcade is built to protect artists' livelihoods in the age of AI If you're building a marketplace, wrestling with whether to trust your gut or your customers, or trying to grow through a downturn without burning cash, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about virality, community, and persisting through the moments that break most founders.

Raising prices is one of the biggest levers for profit, and the one we fight ourselves hardest on. Every ecommerce business is carrying costs it wasn't two years ago, and if you're not passing them on, your margin shrinks every day.Here's the thing the archive keeps proving: the cost itself rarely upsets customers. Being surprised by it does. When the Australia Post fuel surcharge hit, Seed & Sprout's Rebecca Williams already had the scenarios written, and chose to be completely upfront about it.In this playbook, we cover three things ecommerce operators need to know about raising prices without losing customers:Map your true cost to deliver an order, because a price rise gets argued from one line when the pressure's coming from sixDecide whether the cost is permanent before you decide how to show itTreat price as something you run on a rhythm, not an event you survive once a yearConnect with Rebecca Williams Explore Seed & SproutSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community 

Recurring giving now makes up 27% of ALL online revenue, and for many nonprofits, 30-40% of total online revenue can arrive in the final three weeks of the year. Is your monthly giving program actually positioned to take advantage of all that attention and generosity?Today's episode is your front row seat into my Q3 State of Recurring Giving webinar, where I brought together the team from STella! alongside fundraising leaders from Habitat for Humanity Omaha and the Canadian Cancer Society to share what they're doing heading into year end.We also get tactical about the channels and tools driving that growth, including Google Performance Max, paid search, SMS, Fundraise Up, UTMs, and AI.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode What happens when a customer needs a $2,000 repair but doesn't have the cash available today? That moment can determine whether the vehicle gets repaired, the customer delays a critical service, or they take their business somewhere else. For automotive shops, offering flexible payment options can be more than a convenience. It can be a powerful tool for helping customers say yes to the work their vehicles need. Kwane Stokes, Assistant Vice President and Relationship Manager in the automotive division at Synchrony, explains how the program can help shops remove financial barriers, increase repair opportunities, and create another reason for customers to return. Kwane also addresses why many shops still aren't offering financing and how the biggest obstacle may simply be the assumptions advisors make about a customer's ability or willingness to pay. What You'll Learn Why financing should be presented as a payment option, not something an advisor decides a customer needs.How the program's average first and repeat purchase amounts demonstrate the potential impact on average repair order (ARO).Why assuming a customer can't qualify for credit can cause shops to lose needed repair work.How monthly promotional offers can give shops another reason to communicate with their customers.How advisor incentives and simple training can encourage more consistent presentation of financing.What the upcoming "waterfall" financing model could mean for customers who aren't approved through the primary credit program. The biggest opportunity may not be finding more customers. It may be giving the customers already sitting at your counter more ways to say yes. The key is removing the assumption that you know what a customer can or cannot afford. Present the options, explain them clearly, and let the customer decide what works for their financial situation. For a shop, financing isn't simply about collecting payment. It's another tool for helping customers get the repairs they need while protecting the relationship and keeping the work in your shop.

Most real estate investors are so focused on houses they have completely overlooked one of the simplest and most scalable paths to seven figures in this industry. In this episode of The M.O.R.E. Show, Justin Colby sits down with Caleb Milobsky, a 27-year-old land wholesaler who transitioned from flipping houses to flipping land  and built a business doing over $2 million a year in the process. Caleb breaks down exactly why land has fewer variables than houses, how he sources deals across 15 states using SMS outreach, why his spreads are larger than anything he made wholesaling houses, and the exact system he uses to hit the same lists seven times until sellers respond. KEY TOPICS COVERED: Why land wholesaling is simpler and more scalable than house wholesaling How Caleb built a $2 million a year business flipping land at 27 years old How to find and evaluate land deals using Land Insights heat map data Why Caleb sends SMS to a million land owners a month — and how the system works The seven touch frequency strategy that closed a $115K deal in 45 days How to do land deals remotely across 15 states without ever visiting the property ️ Key Moments: 00:00 — Introduction: why he quit wholesaling houses 00:43 — Why land has fewer variables than houses 01:35 — Building a $2 million a year land business 02:00 — How land wholesaling works for beginners 02:50 — Land Insights software explained heat maps and county selection 03:26 — SMS outreach at scale, a million texts a month 06:00 — How to evaluate land deals and what to look for 10:00 — Wetlands, floodplains, and due diligence for land 15:00 — How Caleb sources deals across 15 states remotely 20:00 — Pricing, spreads, and what land deals actually pay 25:00 — The acquisition process from first contact to close 31:10 — The seven touch frequency strategy, $115K deal example 33:50 — Where to find Caleb Phillips and his free community Connect with Caleb Milobsky : YouTube: @Caleb_Flips_Land Instagram: @Cmilobsky About The M.O.R.E.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:From Zero to $60K in 8 WeeksShe'd already given corporate every hour she had. The only way to make more was to stop working for someone else.That is the math Rachel Castro did after eighteen years in corporate. She had a six-figure job, weekends that disappeared into binge sleeping, and by Sunday night she had stitched herself together enough to face Monday. It was the golden cage: paid enough to need it for the lifestyle it funded, while it was killing her one week at a time. A huge commission check got mishandled, she got screwed. And that was the trigger point she stopped tolerating self-abuse by mislabeling it climbing the corporate ladder. She hit the ceiling. She was done.Rachel came to me with no clients and no business, but she had an idea, and she was motivated and ready to do the work. She started with Turn Your Talent Into a Business, an eight-week program that helps you design your business model. By week eight she landed a $60,000 client. Listen to the show for how she explains it: the client had hired her for something that wasn't working, and instead of accepting that loss, we figured out a solution together that turned it into a $60,000 engagement. Suddenly everything was worth it.Rachel's story is not a spiritual awakening but a wake up story. Someone ready to take charge, to steer her own ship. She doesn't mince words, it takes work. The reason I brought her on the show is because not only am I her teacher, but she is also my teacher too, as I was forced to redesign my own business after the fire, which overlaps entirely with her magnificent rise. And she showed me once again that clients can become your friends.If you are still working to get to someone else's number instead of your own, this conversation is for you.Listen to the episode and find out.Timestamps:00:00 - Cold open: “People want change without any change” 00:48 - Welcome + Rachel's first-class goal for her mom 02:09 - Meet Rachel Castro: Founder of NoBS, Revenue Architect 02:59 - Leaving corporate: burnout to consulting 04:22 - Facing the fear of losing a steady paycheck 05:15 - The tipping point: commission loss and a clean exit07:05 - Why the first‑class Europe goal matters 07:58 - Inside the program: turning ideas into a business08:38 - Landing a $60K first client + message testing 10:31 - Detaching from labels; focusing on revenue outcomes 11:44 - From solo to a team of five; defining the ideal client 13:56 - Multiplying revenue streams (SMS, affiliates, subscriptions, education) 15:14 - Coaches as accelerators (and the miniseries win) 17:35 - The Revenue Architecture: diagnostics and three pillars 19:07 - Marketing in high‑compliance industries (peptides, etc.) 20:20 - Who counts as high‑risk or highly regulated 21:41 - Lead gen myths vs. what's really broken 22:31 - Turning revenue into profit: ops and CPA roundtables 23:38 - Keep more money: merchant services, dual pricing, and capital 26:18 - The real bottleneck: the owner and resistance to change 28:38 - Why ops must scale before leads do 29:26 - Iterate, A/B test, and build thick skin 31:40 - Let the system carry the weight; investing before results 32:50 - One takeaway: bet on yourself and get coaches 34:48 - Outro and call to action (Uncovery Session)Connect with Rachel Castro: Website| LinkedIn_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

If I lost everything tomorrow, the team, the audience, the network, here's the exact tactical playbook I'd use to build back to $1 million from scratch. If I lost everything tomorrow, the team, the audience, the brand, the 13 years of relationships and network I have built, and I had to make $1 million from zero, here is exactly what I would do. This is not a motivational pep talk. It is the real, tactical, step by step playbook with no fluff. Here is the thing most founders get backwards: they build the product, then go looking for customers. You need to flip it. Find the customers first, then build the product. In this episode, I walk through the whole 0 to $1 million playbook, from how I would validate a physical product before spending a dollar on inventory to why founder-led content is the one thing I would do differently if I started over. Here's what you'll take away: • The exact three step validation process I would run before ordering a single unit, including why three star reviews are where the gold is • Why you need somewhere for your money to go before you make your first dollar, and how flying blind on cash flow nearly cost me early on • The one product, one channel rule and why trying to be everywhere is the mistake I see founders make constantly • The product economics I would insist on: 70% margins minimum and an AOV above $60 so paid ads can actually work • The pricing mistake I made on Foundr's Kickstarter that cost us thousands, and how to avoid it • My single biggest regret with Foundr: hiding behind the brand for ten years, and why I would make my face the brand from day one If you are thinking about starting something, or you are stuck spinning your wheels on a brand that has not taken off, this episode gives you the clean, no-nonsense sequence I would follow to get to that first million. Quick heads up: this episode is brought to you in partnership with Xero, the accounting software I have used to run Foundr since day one, and they have put together a genuinely strong offer for listeners in the show notes.

In part three of this five-part series, Travis Chappell and Eric Skwarczynski expand on a key creator-economy principle: follower count is not financial security. Through examples ranging from a pizza-maker creator who embraces his day job to Surreal's clever low-budget celebrity marketing, they explore why meaningful work, owned audiences, repeatable customer acquisition, and resourceful creativity matter more than hype. On this episode we talk about: Why no honest work should be dismissed as “not a real job” The value of maintaining work you enjoy while building toward larger goals How creators can use a day job as stability rather than seeing it as a limitation Why follower count alone does not make a creator business sustainable The importance of moving an audience from social platforms to assets you control, such as an email list, text list, or community How platform algorithm shifts and monetization changes can abruptly disrupt creator income Why traditional businesses also need a proven, repeatable customer-acquisition channel before going full time Surreal's marketing campaign featuring ordinary people with celebrity names, including Ronaldo, Dwayne Johnson, Serena Williams, and Michael Jordan How a clever idea can earn attention without an expensive celebrity endorsement The tradeoff between healthier high-protein alternatives and food people genuinely enjoy Top 3 Takeaways Respect work that creates value and moves you toward your goals. A job title, social status, or perceived prestige does not determine whether someone's work is meaningful; consistent effort and how people treat others matter more. Build a business around controllable distribution and repeatable demand. Creators should develop owned channels—such as email, SMS, or a community—while businesses need a reliable acquisition method that is not limited to friends, referrals, or a single algorithm. Creativity can outperform budget. Surreal's “official cereal of Ronaldo” concept demonstrates how a strong insight, precise wording, and a well-executed joke can generate attention that expensive celebrity marketing might otherwise buy. Notable Quotes “You should never feel embarrassed about working hard for something. A title and a description doesn't make you who you are.” “If you're making money and working towards your goals, that's all that matters.” “Follower count just does not matter at all.” “If it's not up to you, you should be trying to move the audience over to something that you control.” “The brand didn't buy attention, it earned it. A clever idea beat a celebrity-sized budget.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Website: https://travischappell.com/ A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor Plus.In this special two-part series, hosts Jon Gray and Jack Schonely are joined by L.A. City Fire Department (LAFD) pilot and safety officer Joel Smith for an inside look at the high-stakes world of LAFD Air Operations.Joel breaks down the tactical precision and intense training required to battle massive, wind-driven California wildfires like the Palisades in the Leonardo AW139, navigate extreme downdrafts in the Santa Anas, and manage chaotic multi-agency airspace stacks. He also details the unique, demanding pathway of promoting from firefighter to mission-command pilot, highlighting the partnership and high standards shared with LAPD Air Support.The conversation takes a deep dive into modern aviation safety management systems (SMS), root-cause hazard analysis, and the danger of operational complacency. Drawing from his role as unit safety officer, Joel explains how he is working on the industry-wide challenge of fatigue management through data, objective readiness scores, and his company, Hero Aviation. By bridging operational experience with smart technology, Joel is helping crews across public safety make safer, data-backed go/no-go decisions.Connect with Joel Smith & Hero Aviation:Website: heroaviationusa.comInstagram: @heroaviationusaThank you to our sponsors Metro Aviation,  Onboard Systems Hoist & Winch,  and Precision Aviation Group.

AI is already reading your emails before your subscribers do, and if you're not writing for it, your message might not make it to the inbox at all. Jay breaks down "live text," the actual HTML text in your email that AI tools like Gmail summaries and Microsoft Copilot scan to build inbox previews and rewrite preheaders. Copilot alone just hit 30 million paid users, up 10 million in a single month, so this isn't a niche problem. Jay's rule: the first 150 characters of your email need to carry your most important, most specific information (webinar details, offer terms, whatever the ask is) because that's the window AI summaries pull from. Images and JPEGs don't count, and alt text doesn't count as live text either, no matter what you've been told. He predicts that within six months, half of all preheaders will be AI generated instead of whatever Marketers actually wrote. Daniel adds that the preheader isn't dead, it's just unreliable now. His fix: write your opening body copy so it echoes what you'd want the preheader to say, so if AI does pull from it, the message still lands the way you intended. He also flags that this isn't just an email problem. The same summarization behavior is starting to show up in text messages, and Marketers need to start thinking about how their SMS gets condensed too. The bigger idea: the prettiest, most designed email templates are losing right now. If AI can't read the words inside your design, it doesn't matter how good it looks. Email Marketing is quietly reverting to a text-first format, closer to how it worked 10 to 15 years ago. If you want your emails to survive the next wave of inbox AI, this is the episode for you.

Four childhood friends pooled $30,000 in a Chicago apartment to make wet wipes for men. Everyone told them dudes would never use them. Thirteen years later, Dude Wipes does close to $220 million in retail sales, runs on a team of just over 20 people, and is Mark Cuban's best-ever Shark Tank investment. They bootstrapped almost the entire way, none of them had retail experience, and they built a nine-figure business in a category the legacy players weren't even watching. In this interview, Ryan Meegan breaks down how they carried a business to $40 million with just three people, the guerrilla news-jacking playbook that made Dude Wipes a worldwide Twitter trend for pennies, and why brand marketing they never tried to measure was the smartest bet they made. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why four founders with different skill sets and zero egos never clashed in 15 years • How they got their first national retail deal with Kroger through pure cold-calling hustle • The Shark Tank bidding war that landed Mark Cuban's check - and why he calls it his best investment • Why going viral and trending #3 worldwide on Twitter barely moved sales - and why they kept doing it anyway • The Isaiah Crowell NFL moment: how a $3,500 deal turned into ESPN, Howard Stern, and national press • The Amex float strategy: how putting every PO on a credit card funded growth without big raises • Why they refused the VC and Shopify-loan path most DTC brands take - and how they built bank credibility instead • The line-extension trap: why deodorant and body wash failed, and how Covid refocused them on flushable wipes • How three people ran the business to $40M before hiring 15 more • Why they took private equity from TSG while keeping control - and the billion-dollar goal behind it If you're bootstrapping a CPG brand, trying to build awareness without a war chest, or wrestling with whether to chase line extensions or go deeper in your core category, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about brand, capital efficiency, and staying in the game long enough to win.
