Deep dives
The Importance of Blending Old School and Technology in Business
In the early days of the podcast hosts' business, roles and responsibilities were not clearly defined. They both did whatever needed to be done. As they grew and social media became prevalent, they defined roles within the company. One person became the face of the company, another handled the back-end operations. However, they maintained a collaborative and flexible approach, and they still do whatever needs to be done in the company. They believe in taking initiative, accepting responsibility, and finding solutions. They value a culture that blends personal excellence, leadership, and an eagerness to learn.
Dealing with Lack of Support from Friends and Family
The speaker acknowledges that it can be frustrating when friends and family give positive feedback in private but fail to support publicly. They explain that most people think they are better than they actually are, and their close ones encourage them without genuinely believing in their talent or abilities. The speaker points out that people often wait to show support until they see external validation and success. They emphasize the importance of getting better and proving oneself to external audiences, as it eventually leads to genuine support. The speaker advises not to be entitled and to use the negative energy from lack of support as fuel for personal growth and success.
The Value of Taking Initiative and Problem-solving
The speaker highlights the significance of taking initiative, problem-solving, and owning responsibilities. They share that in their company, employees take ownership and collaborate to find solutions. They emphasize the importance of leading by example, fostering a culture of taking initiative, and learning new skills.

They also encourage individuals to observe personal excellence as it inspires and influences others in the organization.
Balancing Technology and Old School Methods in Business
The speaker discusses the importance of embracing technology for business success, particularly in reaching a wider audience and scaling a company. They acknowledge the convenience and cost-effectiveness of utilizing social media platforms to connect with potential customers. However, they emphasize the need to balance technology with a personal touch, emphasizing the significance of genuine human connection and community-building. The speaker suggests a blend of old school strategies, such as direct mailers, community events, and in-person networking, to complement the advantages of technology and social media.
