Success isn't a straight line!!
This is SUCH an IMPACTFUL episode. Today's episode is different from most we've put out so far.
Matt is joining us after recently getting his ass kicked in business.
Matt runs his own digital marketing agency. He was a few years in and growing at a good clip every year.
He'd gotten some advice to really push for growth. And in doing so he went a little outside his core business. What resulted, was some very short-lived success, followed by the eventual collapse of his business to the point where Matt had to basically start over.
All growth isn't the same!! This happens to SOOO many business owners. We stomp on the gas to push growth, but if we're not organized with our systems or our people, etc - cracks will show and eventually if left unaddressed things will literally fall apart.
Check out this episode to hear how Matt dealt with this punch in the throat, adjusted and how he's building back even better than before.
Sometimes success really boils down to resiliency in the face of adversity! Let's fucking go!

The riches are in the niches!! The real estate niches that is.
This week's guest, Jeremy Davidson, is niched down within the real estate business - making waves in the LAND game. This real estate niche can be extremely lucrative and has way less competition at the moment than fix and flips and wholesaling.
The thing I love about Jeremy's story - is that he's BACK into real estate after a several-year hiatus. Jeremy was a real estate entrepreneur years earlier and wound up getting his ass handed to him during the '08 financial crisis. I'm not exaggerating! Jeremy shares in the episode that they had friends and families helping to support them with food and gifts during the holidays while they got back on their feet.
Even after all that, real estate pulled Jeremy out of corporate America again - this time focusing on land.
In this week's episode we discuss:
- Why land?
- How Jeremy does his deals
- Marketing and knowing your avatar
- Raising private capital
- Importance of relationships and relationship capital

I absolutely loved recording this episode.
One reason - our guest, Eric Recchia and I, go back like 15 years. We met in a different business that we were both involved in. Always cool to see friends from a previous chapter of your life crushing the game.
Reason number two - Eric and I are technically both failed business owners. The first businesses that we each started, failed. But, we both were able to take what we learned and apply alllll those lessons to the new businesses that we ended up starting. Remember, being an entrepreneur is a game of attrition - if you keep at it long enough and continue to learn from your experiences, I believe you can be successful.
In the episode we discuss Eric's path to where he is today, absolutely crushing the solar game and continuing to grow his business. We also break down how Eric is able to build sales teams successfully.

You have GOT to listen to this podcast!!!
Dr. Amy's story is nothing short of spectacular!
Here's a woman, who knew nothing about the business world, discovered a new way of helping people deal with pain from her experience as a physical therapist - and literally just started taking action.
She shares what she did and how she went from physical therapist employee to owner-operator of a health and wellness business. Dr. Amy's story is a PERFECT example that you DO NOT need to have everything figured out before starting a business.
If you have the drive and the willingness to get uncomfortable and put yourself out there, you never know how far you can go.
Such an inspirational story!! And, it helps that Dr. Amy totally is onto something with how she coaches people to deal with pain.

We have got a bit of a different guest this week..
Wesley, just recently BOUGHT a business!
Wes has been an entrepreneur going WAY back to when he was selling parts for go-karts just to make enough cash to support his own go-kart hobby. That started out at a wee young age and eventually turned into Wes's first real business - making chassis for go-karts. The growth of the go-kart business ultimately led him to start his powder coating business.
Somewhere along the way, Wes was introduced to the idea of buying a pre-established business; as opposed to launching and starting a business. This is gaining more and more eyeballs as more and more people talk about buying businesses on social.
Well, Wes recently completed his first business purchase and is already working on his second.

Megan comes from very humble beginnings and grew up surrounded by livestock and ranching from a young age.
Megan started working with animals from the ripe young age of 7 and has been exposed to all angles of the livestock business throughout the years. She found her passion in "finishing out" cattle, which essentially means the diet they consume in preparation for being taken to market.
This passion led her to starting her own ranch and she hasn't looked back! As a matter of fact, Megan talks about some plans to vertically integrate during the show....
Listen in to learn about Megan and her family's incredible journey and get ready for lots of practical and actionable insights that you can apply to your own business.
