"What Do You Really Want?" Leveraging Identity-Driven Business Growth | Cassie Shea
#733 What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn’t strategy or execution — but the identity you’re operating from? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Cassie Shea, founder of The Possibility Investor, to unpack what it really means to iterate with your identity as a business owner. Cassie shares how her journey from running a $14M company at 28 to logging 3,500+ coaching hours shaped her core framework: Desire → Deserving → Decisions — starting with the deceptively hard question, “What do you want?” Together, they explore why so many entrepreneurs hit an invisible “deserve ceiling,” how proving energy can quietly drive (and drain) growth, and how constraints — like health, seasons of life, or boredom — can become the catalyst for smarter, more sustainable business evolution. Cassie also previews her free 3D Assessment and where listeners can connect with her as she launches The Possibility Investor!
What we discuss with Cassie:
+ Identity-driven business growth
+ Iterating with your identity
+ Desire → Deserving → Decisions framework
+ The “deserve ceiling”

How to Run a Successful Dry Cleaning Business in 2026 | Ian Noble
#732 What if one of the most overlooked “boring businesses” is actually one of the most scalable — and most AI-resistant — opportunities out there? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with entrepreneur Ian Noble — founder of Run Steady Investments and former dry cleaning operator who spent 14 years growing, scaling, and ultimately selling his family’s business in Austin. Ian breaks down why dry cleaning is not a laundromat business, why quality control and customer service make or break you, and why buying an existing operation often beats starting from scratch or franchising. They also dive into modern growth levers like centralized plants with retail “drop” locations, pickup-and-delivery routes, wash-and-fold as a major revenue driver, and the power of automated review requests to dominate local search. If you’ve ever considered a “boring” business with real demand and a clear path to scaling, this conversation is a blueprint for how to become a great operator — and build something you can keep long-term or sell for a strong exit!
What we discuss with Ian:
+ Dry cleaning vs laundromats
+ Family business origins
+ Scaling to multiple locations
+ Quality control as a moat
+ Centralized plants model
+ Pickup & delivery growth
+ Wash-and-fold revenue
+ Online reviews & reputation
+ Franchising pitfalls
+ Building for exit or longevity
