  • 109. Parent’s Attic to $20 Million Business - Lessons On How He Did It
    May 21 2024

    This was likely the longest interview we’ve had to date, and we asked our guest if we could record a part 2 multiple times because we still didn’t think it was enough time. We could listen to him talk for hours, and we don’t say that often.


    We invited Johnathan (or JP) Price on the show to share his journey, and discuss his background, mindset and growth tactics.


    Listeners, let us tell you, you are in for a treat.


    JP went from living in his parent’s attic to building a $20 million business that started as a hobby, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing.


    If you want to hear about his ups, downs, and lessons learned, then be sure to tune in!

  • 108. Solo Startup Guidance: Nuggets of Wisdom from A Seasoned Serial Entrepreneur
    May 14 2024

    We usually don't start the episodes by listing off all of the accomplishments of our guests, but when you have somebody on who is this impressive and accomplished, it’s hard not to brag a little bit, especially when he has so much advice for solopreneurs. Mind you, this is us bragging on his behalf, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would do that.


    If you aren’t familiar with Rob Walling, it’s time to get familiar. He:

    • Is a serial entrepreneur who has started six companies and has had multiple exits
    • He runs MicroConf, the largest conference for bootstrapped startups
    • He has written four books about startups
    • He has more than 15 million downloads on his podcast
    • He’s invested in more than 170 startups (including WP Engine and SparkToro), but doesn’t believe the only way to start a SaaS company is to raise money

    And of course, he’s just a really cool guy and was open to all the questions we had for him that relate to helping you run a company of one.


    In this episode, we discuss things like:

    • The key advantages to bootstrapping a startup versus seeking outside funding
    • Common pitfalls that aspiring solopreneurs encounter and how to avoid them
    • Strategies for solopreneurs to achieve profitability sooner rather than later
    • Trends shaping the future of solopreneurship
    • The most crucial skills or qualities that solopreneurs need to succeed in today's competitive landscape

    Plus the one piece of advice he would give aspiring soloprenuers, and so much more. Be sure to tune in.

  • 107. The Ultimate Solopreneur Checklist for Bookkeeping and Taxes
    May 7 2024

    Ever feel like taxes are the ultimate entrepreneurial riddle you're never quite sure you've solved?


    Every form you have to complete and every deduction you have to consider can leave you wondering if you're doing everything correctly.


    Taxes and bookkeeping are hard to understand, especially when you’re busy running the rest of your business.


    That’s why we invited on Melissa and Eric Broughton of Busy Bee Advisors. With over 20 years of combined bookkeeping and tax experience, this duo helps solopreneurs and small businesses gain more financial clarity and pay less in taxes.


    We were shocked throughout this episode and our jaws hit the floor a couple of times. We learned some valuable information we had never heard before that is so beneficial to one-person business owners.


    During the episode, we discussed things like:

    • Melissa and Eric's New Business Start-up Checklist for Bookkeeping & Taxes
    • The $12,000 Tax Loophole
    • Why the Tax System is Rigged & What You Can Do About It
    • 5 Essential Questions You Should Be Asking Your Tax Preparer

    Plus so much more! Be sure to tune in.
