EP 1: Zach & Myles — Starting From (Almost) Scratch
Zach Clevenger and Myles Miller know what it’s like to channel creativity and a love of product development into multiple successful companies (and one or two failed ones). From experience, they also know that learning from those who’ve gone before you is the best way to learn yourself. And that’s why, as they scale their next business, they’re bringing other entrepreneurs and listeners along with them.
Six months into launching Duck Dens, a new company that’s helping waterfowl hunters increase duck populations and success rates in the field, Zach and Myles haven’t yet hit their first $1,000 in sales. But next year, they know they’re on track to ring in $300,000. Getting from A to B isn’t going to happen overnight, though. As serial entrepreneurs, they’ve learned it’s all about resisting the urge to play the short game and opting for the long game instead.
On this first episode of the Inside Development, Manufacturing & Sales podcast, Zach and Myles set the stage for exactly how that game should be played. They also talk about some of the “high highs and low lows” that come with building a branded product and manufacturing business, the biggest questions they’ve had to answer as entrepreneurs, and how they’re cultivating mindsets that attract success.
What You'll Learn:
- Why if you go into the business planning to “get rich,” you’re already at a disadvantage
- How Zach and Myles have approached product development at a brand-new business (and multiple businesses before this one)
- Why understanding how to help others succeed is one of the most important things you can do as an entrepreneur
- And much more!
Favorite Quote:
“You have to understand that everything is temporary. Celebrate the wins. And when you're in the losses, know it's momentary. I've had some heavy depression and some losses before. And you've got to get past that and know that when you put the work in, you're going to deal with the lows and the highs will come.”
