In this energetic episode of 10x Your Team, Camden and Otis McGregor join forces with Sean Elliott of Zero2Income to explore the power of consistent daily actions in entrepreneurship. The conversation weaves through practical business wisdom, from the "20-mile march" concept to innovative ideas like "Hard Rock Yoga." Sean shares his journey from IT professional to entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of systematic approaches to business growth. Through engaging discussions about persistence, measuring progress, and taking actionable steps, this episode offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs at any stage of their journey.

More About Sean:
I’ve now been in the tech world for nearly 20 years. In 2015, I left my "real job" in IT and took the leap into entrepreneurship by starting a business selling products on Amazon. The business grew quickly, thrived for about a year and a half, and then—bam—it tanked. But even that failure taught me valuable lessons and marked my first true entrepreneurial experience. These days, I’m focused on my latest venture with my business partner, Dana Morrison. Together, we co-founded Zero2Income, where we help people go from zero to income with simple, actionable tools and support. Since launching in August 2023, we’ve been piecing together everything needed to get a business off the ground—and we’re excited about the journey ahead.

Storrs, Connecticut, U.S.A. January 2025 – News release from author Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams sharing the gripping description of murders and other crimes committed by honors student Peter Manfredonia, who spent Memorial Day Weekend, 2020, in a frenzy. His actions claimed the life of a Willington man, Ted DeMers (model for Connecticut’s Minuteman statue), and severely injured his neighbor, both with a Samurai sword. While escaping, Manfredonia holds a third Willington man hostage in his own home. But two days later, the terror continues as Manfredonia robs and murders a childhood friend in Derby and kidnaps his girlfriend. The nightmare goes further as he is pursued across state lines for six days. The author interviews survivors and the perpetrator. The story is told with vivid, and at times horrifying, descriptions.

About the Author: A Professor Emerita from the University of Connecticut and Psychologist author Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams’ non-academic books include “Italian Spices: A Memoir” (currently sold out) and a trilogy of New England horror novels including “The Farmhouse on Cemetery Hill Rd.,” “The Portal,” and “Ah, Grace!,” which along with “The Red Toque: Love and Loss in the Time of Tito,” are available on Amazon or via her website https://www.getbooksbycindy.com/. “First He Killed the Minuteman” is her first true crime book. Adams is a member of the American Psychological Association, Authors Guild, Slovene Studies Society, American Historical Association, and Italian American Writers.
