In this episode, I'm revisiting the Required Secondary Powers series and focusing on discipline. It's not the exciting part of business, but it's what actually keeps you going. Whether you're building balloon art or coaching clients, showing up consistently matters more than talent alone. I'll share what I've learned, how I manage discipline as a dad of two, and why hitting even 70 percent of your goals can put you ahead of most.

n this remastered episode, I explore whether Marvel's Avengers Endgame was a bold gamble or a smart investment. With over $2.7 billion earned at the box office, it's easy to say it paid off—but that didn't happen by luck. Marvel started small with Iron Man and built momentum over a decade, taking calculated risks with each film. The real entrepreneurial takeaway? Success follows strategy, not chance. As Kevin Feige put it, “You basically go, hold hands and jump out of the plane and hope you can build a parachute before you hit the ground.” Learn how Marvel's measured approach can help you manage your business risks with greater confidence.

In this episode, I break down how Marvel's success with Avengers: Endgame is rooted in their mastery of storytelling. A solid narrative is essential, not just in films, but in business too. When you share a compelling story about your product or service, you create a bond with your audience that goes beyond just selling. A good story can lead to loyal customers and lasting success.

In this remastered episode, I dive into how Marvel Studios created massive value over 11 years with Avengers: Endgame. By delivering consistent quality, building a loyal fanbase, and offering a long-term payoff, Marvel turned a series of movies into one of the most valuable franchises of all time. Your business can apply these same principles of creating value that leads to customer loyalty and success.

In this remastered episode, I unpack one of the most common but challenging questions in small business: “How much should I charge?” I talk about the hidden dangers of underpricing, why just covering your costs isn't enough, and how overhead and perceived value shape what customers are actually willing to pay. If you've ever second-guessed your pricing or felt stuck between being “too expensive” or “too cheap,” this one will help you get clarity.

In this episode, I dive into the crucial role integrity plays in business and leadership. Using the Titan submersible disaster as a backdrop, I explore how small lapses in integrity can lead to catastrophic results. I share real-world stories, including lessons from RadioShack, and provide practical steps for building integrity through daily choices.

In this remastered episode, I unpack how you can take something you already love doing—your hobby—and turn it into a real business. Whether it's something you've always done for fun or a skill others admire, there's a path forward if you treat it seriously. I walk through practical steps, mindset shifts, and a few hard truths about turning passion into profit. If you've ever wondered, “Could I actually make money doing this?”—this episode is for you.

In this remastered episode, I tell the story of a man I call “Spencer”—someone born into privilege but marked by rejection, failure, and political disaster. What set him apart wasn't perfection—it was persistence. He kept going, even when most thought he was finished. This episode is for every entrepreneur who's ever been tempted to quit. If you're struggling, this story is your reminder to get back up and keep moving forward.

In this episode, I explore the concept of bootstrapping—building a business from scratch with minimal resources. I share my personal journey, how I started my business with just a website, a few balloons, and a lot of determination. From learning on the go to investing only earnings into growth, I walk you through the steps and mindset needed to bootstrap your way to success. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur or facing challenges in your current venture, this episode offers valuable insights on how to grow with what you have.

In this remastered episode, I address the important question: "Is it wrong to desire wealth?" Drawing on insights from Dave Ramsey and the Bible, I explore the nature of wealth and how it's not the money itself, but the love of money that can lead to moral pitfalls. I discuss how wealth, when sought with the right intentions, can be a powerful tool for good, supporting family and helping others.

In this episode, I dive into what servant leadership really means. It's not about holding power — it's about serving others, earning trust, and leading with humility. I share stories from my own work life, including moments I'm proud of and mistakes I've learned from. Leadership isn't about titles — it's about influence.

Being dangerous isn't a flaw — it's a necessity. Like a sharp tool, entrepreneurs must be honed and ready to act with purpose, protecting what matters and pushing back against what threatens.

In this remastered episode, I explore the weight of success and the responsibility that comes with it. Inspired by Iron Man, I reflect on the influence entrepreneurs hold once they reach their goals. Whether you're just starting or already thriving, the question is the same—how will you use your power?

In this remastered episode, I dive into the essential trait of discipline in entrepreneurship. I reflect on my experiences and share how discipline can be harder when you're working for yourself, especially when you're working from home. I also explore strategies for staying focused, setting priorities, and holding myself accountable. Drawing inspiration from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I offer actionable tips to help you stay disciplined on your entrepreneurial journey.

In this remastered episode of my Required Secondary Powers series, I dive into the importance of having a teachable spirit. I discuss how being humble and actively pursuing knowledge—whether through books, podcasts, or conversations—helps entrepreneurs grow. Staying open to learning, even when we think we know it all, is crucial to continued success. For a deeper dive, listen to my 2024 revisit here: Revisiting the Required Secondary Powers Series: A Teachable Spirit.https://www.atheoz.com/iocpod/2024/4/02/revisiting-required-secondary-powers-a-teachable-spirit

In this episode, I dive into the hidden momentum killers that can quietly derail your progress, whether in business or life. From complacency and burnout to unexpected setbacks, I've experienced them all. I share my personal journey, the lessons I've learned, and how I'm rebuilding momentum with a fresh focus and renewed energy.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

On today's episode, we revisit the concept of 'Required Secondary Powers,' a topic I first explored back in 2019.

Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam? A big one, like on a major highway that runs through a large city? You know, the good ones where you're parked on the highway next to the speed limit sign that mocks you with a limit of 70 miles per hour. If you make progress at all, it's only inches, or if you're really lucky, feet at a time.Then, all of a sudden, you get past whatever the cause was—the major off-ramp, the accident, or the toll booth/bridge—and the traffic parts like Moses and the Red Sea. You're free, quickly forgetting the stress and frustration of the mess behind you. You have just experienced a bottleneck.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In today's episode, I explore the question of who is more likely to succeed: the hard-driving individual who doesn't mind stepping on others, or the nice guy who helps those around them?I dive into research by Professor Adam Grant, who studied this very topic and found that, while nice guys do sometimes finish last, the aggressive, self-serving types don't come out on top either.Grant's study identifies three types of people: Takers, who are aggressive and self-focused; Matchers, who help others but keep score with an “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” mentality; and Givers, those who help without expecting anything in return. Tune in to learn which type might be the most successful in the long run and how these insights can be applied to business and life.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

What do Stan Lee, Grandma Moses, Colonel Sanders, and Samuel L. Jackson all have in common? They didn't find their biggest success until later in life. In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your story. Whether you're stuck in a dead-end job or feeling like your best years are behind you, remember—Stan Lee nearly quit comics at 38, and instead went on to become a legend. As long as you're still drawing breath, there's time to start something new.

In this episode, I compare the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) to highlight a powerful lesson about choosing your career. DC had the advantages, but Marvel succeeded because they followed their passion—not just the money. I've found the same to be true in business. Too many chase cash and end up empty. I believe your career should align with what you love—or could grow to love—because when you pursue purpose, success tends to follow.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In today's episode, I break down the new tariffs that started this spring—taxes on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China—meant to boost U.S. industry and jobs while trimming our trade gap. I look at what happened with steel tariffs a few years back: prices spiked, then dropped, and some American jobs came back. I cover how this could hit your business—short-term cost bumps or client boosts, longer-term growth or grind—and give you steps to stay ready, like spreading out suppliers or eating costs now, so you're set no matter what comes.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this episode, I dive into the economic ripple effects of wage policies, examining how increased wages can impact everything from consumer prices to local economies. I also highlight the importance of market-driven wages with a deep look at how Chick-fil-A's competitive pay and employee benefits foster loyalty and profitability. By using this example, I show that paying good wages, based on market conditions, can lead to better outcomes for both businesses and their communities. I explore how these real-world practices offer a compelling argument against government-enforced minimum wage mandatesWelcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In todays episode I dive into the often-overlooked factors that influence the concept of a living wage. I discuss how benefits, career progression, and local cost-of-living differences impact financial security beyond hourly rates. I also examine how entry-level jobs foster valuable skills and long-term growth, while exploring the challenges employers face with increased wages, including automation and job loss. By understanding these factors, we gain a more nuanced view of the living wage debate.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!

In this episode, we tackle the complex debate surrounding the living wage, shedding light on common misconceptions and revealing the realities behind wage policies. We'll discuss California's recent decision to set a $20 minimum wage for fast food workers, which has resulted in widespread job losses and business closures, challenging the belief that raising the minimum wage universally benefits low-income workers. As we explore key data, we'll differentiate between the concepts of "minimum wage" and "living wage"—two terms often conflated in policy debates. By examining the demographics of minimum wage earners and their actual living situations, we aim to uncover whether higher wages truly alleviate poverty or, in some cases, create additional financial strain.Welcome to another episode of the O'Connor Bootstrap Podcast!
