This is operator brain turned all the way up.You will hear the plays they would run if they had to start over, the opportunities that are so obvious it feels stupid not to pursue them, and why most people walk right past them because they are waiting for permission.

Full Moon parties in Thailand. Food trucks in Baltimore. People working out at gyms. High stakes slot machines with thousands per spin. Even someone sleeping on camera with 1,500+ viewers watching.The fascinating part? Almost everyone is doing something they'd do anyway. They just turned on a camera and started making money.The second half shifts to business applications. Could you stream your entire workday? Build a product live? Run consulting sessions with audience participation? Record your podcast? The barrier to entry is literally just your phone camera.Whether you think this is genius or insane, one thing is clear: there's a growing creator economy around documenting what you're already doing.

Business, entrepreneurship, audience growth, and pure operator chaos. In this episode, Ben and Jon sit down and map out how they plan to grow Low Bar Podcast, from the smartest ideas to the dumbest experiments they’re absolutely going to try anyway. This is not advice. It is two friends openly scheming about how to take a show from “good” to “everywhere.”They talk through paid ads, referral loops, niche content traps, algorithm bets, wild format ideas, the stuff they know will work, the stuff they know probably won’t, and the things they want to try just because it sounds fun. If you’ve ever wondered what the inside of a creator strategy meeting actually sounds like when nobody is pretending to be a guru, this is it.This episode is honest, unserious, and full of real operator thinking. Nothing polished. Nothing staged. Just the actual plan to grow the show you’re watching.Sponsor:The only sponsor is us.If you like this episode, subscribe to the channel, leave a review, and share it with someone who loves business, can't turn it off and can't imagine why you'd ever want to.Timestamps:00:00 — Intro01:45 — Steal Their Audience Ad Campaign10:02 — Audience Referral Program19:30 — Arbitrage Challenge25:30 — Controversy Clip Factory30:25 — Listener Bounty Program35:00 — Micro-Influencer Remix/Stitch Strategy41:35 — Reddit/Forum Organic Outreach49:02 — YouTube Collaborator Function54:40 — Live Content Stream58:23 — Which do Jon and BK choose to do?Follow us on SocialInstagram — https://www.instagram.com/lowbarpod/Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/LowBarPodX — https://x.com/LowBarPodcastTikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@lowbarpodcast

Business, entrepreneurship, money, and ethics collide when Ben and Jon break down where successful entrepreneurs actually draw the line in their business decisions. This conversation is raw, direct, and loaded with real world examples people never admit publicly.From OnlyFans challenges to overseas labor, nothing is off limits. This is not moral posturing. It is two entrepreneurs walking through the decisions real founders face and the ethical bar they set for themselves in business.What would you do for money? What wouldn’t you do even if the market rewarded it? And where does the idea of ethics even come from when every entrepreneur is constantly balancing incentives, responsibility, family, risk, and survival?This episode is a deep dive into how operators think about the gray areas, what they refuse to touch, and what they believe is fair game in the real world of entrepreneurship.Sponsor:Sleep like you’re dead (in a good way).Grab yours at https://SwitchSupplements.com/lowbarUse code LOWBAR for $10 off Killswitch — the sleep aid for people who can’t stop thinking about business.Timestamps:00:20 — OnlyFans / Adult Content02:30 — Magic Mushrooms / Psychedelics05:50 — Catfishing With AI09:55 — Kid Influencers for Sales15:00 — Rage-Bait Political Content18:30 — Repackaging Free Information Into Paid Courses22:32 — Buying Fake Reviews / Testimonials26:52 — Using Bots to Buy & Resell Scarce Items29:55 — Artificial Scarcity (fake timers, “only 3 left”)33:56 — Hiring Overseas Labor39:05 — Selling Knockoff or Counterfeit Goods44:15 — Affiliate Marketing Products You Haven’t Used48:45 — MLMs & Being at the Top of the Pyramid52:00 — Payday Loans / Predatory LendingFollow us on SocialInstagram — https://www.instagram.com/lowbarpod/Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/LowBarPodX — https://x.com/LowBarPodcastTikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@lowbarpodcast
