View Details

After a year of building and taking time off from Builders Build, the 3 internet entrepreneur bros you missed, gathered together to bring back the top 10000 business pod you all missed so much.

The team dives into everything you wanted to know…

And a bunch you didn’t.

Colin, Oren, and James cover the weird esoteric supplements they are all taking, Orens passing of Epstein's island on his yacht adventure, Russell Brunson beating up 10 year olds, and the rise of niche communities for service businesses to start.

As well as monetizing content sites, fundraising through a jogathon, Twitter premium and ad credits, Cut 30, Google Analytics and internet weed.

Tune in for all the alpha, and welcome the crew back, for the return of Builders Build.

We are not having guests every episode.

We are not having guests every episode.

We are not having guests every episode.

This week on Builders Build the guys are back with not one but 2 guests. In this serendipitous first time meeting, old heads Oren, James and Colin are dubbed the cool uncles of Money Twitter by none other than Cardinal Mason and Ben Bader. 

In this episode the gang and friends talk about:

  • The young bull's backgrounds

  • TikTok

  • Communities

  • Infoproduct funnels

  • Mason's citizenship

This pod may or may not be a return to a slightly more legible and higher quality podcast you recommend to friends and listen to week in and week out.

A rare and appropriately iconic man joined the boys on the pod today. I staple of the real life inner circle who lurks on the dark parts of the internet (Instagram) instead of where the rest of us hang out: Chad Lujan. Chad was Colin's best man, worked with him and Oren for years, and is now a bag boy (asst tour mgr) for REDACTED. Chad has been on more PJs this year than every dropshipping guru combined and he won't help you get ur boy's demo to any of his contacts.

We talk about:

  • The best man speech at Colin's wedding

  • Chad's guest set(s) w/ Waka Flocka

  • The best PJ's for lease (2022)

  • LTRMN's 2019 EBITDA

The most shocking revelation of this episode is that James never listened to Waka Flocka and that it's possible we wouldn't have been friends during those formative early years.

Forget a format, in this episode the boys hit record on an existential convo about their time spent on the podcast and the dark side of the Twitter algo.

  • Tweaking for short form content

  • One Sec (the app)

  • Twitter thread boys

  • Halloween adventures

You may have heard the shocking news that BTS, the singing sensation out of South Korea that has been taking over the world slowly but surely, is taking time off to serve in the military. (Shout out to the OG mega celeb Elvis for being the one to pave the way here)

BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2010. The band's label and management company, Big Hit, announced Monday that BTS plans to come back together as a group "around 2025," after all seven members complete their service.

We all knew BTS was tough so this wasnt a surprise, but it left us full of questions:

  • Would we have the balls to do the same?
  • Is Black Pink up next?
  • Which members will make it back alive
  • And more

Sadly, Colin’s long-lost uncle, Thadious Landforce, passed away. Little did Colin know, Thad (as his friends called him) was the founder and sole owner of a natural foods-based grocery store chain.

Luckily, young Colin Landforce as his sole heir, inherits the grocery store and recruits his 2 best friends, Oren and James, to help him expand internationally and build a sizeable fortune.

To be honest…none of this happened, BUT we did play out this scenario and see how the team would grow this type of business

Plans include

  • Creating food deserts
  • Going Public on a German stock exchange
  • Hiring Liver King to help be the face of the brand
  • And more

Lil Pod #1

It's 2022, and the venture capital industry has NOT had a good year. The money has dried up a bit, and it looks like being profitable is cool again.

On this pod, the team dives into:

  • James mentoring at Techstars
  • What kinds of start-ups need VC money
  • The insanity that is Byrd and other scooter brands

Every episode we sit down with an outline of topics. On this episode, that outline did not include “Live action role play James’ dog frisbee site into a pet brand rollup and take it public with a reverse merger and find liquidity without crushing the stock, by using a single stock exchange fund through the good old boys and girls at Goldman Sachs”.

That was not in the outline, but we are moving and grooving into season 3 and we took that thing from inception all the way to the NYSE.

We are back.

We’re having fun and keeping alpha top tier for the global listenership.

Btw can y’all leave us some 5 star reviews?

Anyway, in this episode of Builders Build, we dive into how we could take a pet niche website and turn it into a publicly traded pet conglomerate and so much more:

  • What's the going rate for dog models?

Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

We had a good run of guests here on the Builders Build pod. We’re thankful for all of them, but it’s time for them to kick rocks. Somewhere along the way what we were putting out became too similar to what anyone can do, and those are the things that aren’t worth doing. Plus: we weren’t having much fun.

On this return to an open format with the gang, James, Oren, and Colin get right into it defining new terminology, answering the common “wtf do you guys do for a living?”, and finally getting into what they’re each currently working on.

In a new recurring segment where the guys riff on projects they’re working on if they had the time, they dive into a productized accounting service concept and content remixing

Season 3 is a return to the maker. The builder if you will.

Pod description:

All 3 of us have dabbled in selling on Amazon, but are far from experts. So when we wanted to learn more about the ins and outs of the platform, we tapped the one and only Lesley Hensell - co-founder and co-owner of Riverbend Consulting, where she oversees the firm’s client services team.

Shes been a seller on Amazon herself for over a decade personally has helped hundreds of third-party sellers with everything from selling their businesses, to getting their accounts and ASINs back up and running.

Crazily enough her clients range from small mom and pop brands, all the way to companies doing over $1 billion a year.

She shares more tips and alpha then we were prepared for, and left all of us hungry to take a shot at building a brand on Amazon ourselves.

This episode covers:

  • What products are good to sell on Amazon

  • What are the tools you need to build a business on the platform

  • Is walmart coming for Amazons lunch?

  • How has the industry changed in the last decade…and more importantly…where is it going?

  • Pitfalls to avoid for Amazon sellers
