Alright, if you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking mode, this one’s for you. My guest today is Jason Schappert, a guy who went from teaching people how to fly to building a thriving online business without a fancy business plan or a pile of investor cash.

Jason and his wife bootstrapped one of the biggest FAA test prep platforms from scratch, and here’s the kicker—he started with just 8 lessons and figured the rest out as he went. In this episode, Jason breaks down how he turned a niche business into a massive success, the biggest lessons from wearing all the hats as a solopreneur, and why perfection is the enemy of progress.

If you're an entrepreneur, content creator, or someone who's been waiting for the 'right time' to start—this is your sign.

In this episode, Jason breaks down:

✅ How to start BEFORE you're ready (perfection is the enemy of progress!)

✅ What it really takes to scale a business—from wearing all the hats to building a team

✅ The power of consistent action (big wins come from small, daily moves)

Big Takeaways from Jason:

-"You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going."
-"Behind the scenes, business is messy. But that’s where the real magic happens."
-"If you wait for perfect, you’ll never start. Just hit the ball in one more time and keep going."

Welcome back to The Kim Barrett Show! In this first episode of the year, we’re kicking things off with a game-changing social media hack that will take your strategy to new heights in 2025. If you’ve been holding back on Reels, now is the time to jump in. Meta is offering incredible incentives, making it easier than ever to boost your reach, visibility, and brand impact. Reels aren’t just a fun feature anymore—they’re a powerhouse tool you can’t afford to ignore.

But here’s the deal: posting content alone isn’t enough. One of the biggest keys to standing out on social media is engagement. If you’ve been guilty of posting and ghosting, it’s time to switch things up. Meta rewards creators who are active, who interact with their followers, and who build relationships. This means commenting, replying, and showing up consistently for your audience. It’s not just about what you post; it’s about how you connect and keep the conversation going.

Consistency is the ultimate game-changer. Whether you’re posting once a day or once a week, the key is to keep showing up. Avoid the trap of posting sporadically and then disappearing for weeks. Staying consistent keeps you visible, and that visibility is what leads to growth and recognition. With Meta’s current incentives, there’s no better time to double down on your social media efforts and make your mark.

If this episode sparked some ideas or gave you the push you needed, share it with someone working on their social media strategy. And don’t forget to leave a comment or review—it helps get the word out and keeps us bringing you valuable content. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, keep showing up and crushing it!

From accountants to chiropractors, and digital marketers to bakers, the idea of starting a business based on your current career can seem like a straightforward pathway to success. But it’s not enough to just excel in your trade - you need to master the complex nuances of the business world too.

Someone who has built a whole empire teaching business owners this skill is our guest this week, Michael E Gerber.

Since then, Michael’s passion has been helping budding entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of business and apply them to a wide-ranging kaleidoscope of careers with the same end goal - scaling for consistently successful results that can be reproduced time and time again.

Episode Highlights:
(00:03) The man, the E-Myth, the legend
(00:51) Michael’s answer to the cocktail party question
(01:50) How E-Myth was created: the selling strategy problem
(07:42) The most common mistakes new business owners make
(10:58) Mastering the fundamentals of business (the McDonald’s franchise story)
(17:52) Prepare now for all possible futures
(18:17) Only 2% of people in the world are brilliant creators
(22:49) The businesses Michael has spent half a century building
