Ep 159: Iron Mike Steadman on Never Giving Free Proposals (And Getting Ghosted) Ever Again, Setting His Business North Star, and Taking Action


Listen Later

Turning education into action can be a struggle for entrepreneurs.


Not so for today’s guest.


When I first met Mike Steadman, I knew he was a doer. Which is why I wanted to have him on the show today to talk about how he’s implemented the No BS Model and how it’s impacted his business.


“IRON” Mike Steadman is the Founder of IRONBOUND Media, a brand strategy firm serving veteran-owned small businesses. He is also the founder of IRONBOUND Boxing, a nationally-recognized nonprofit that provides free amateur boxing training, entrepreneur education and employment opportunities to youth and young adults in Newark, New Jersey.


A three-time National Collegiate Boxing Champion from the United States Naval Academy, Mike also served as a Marine Corps Infantry Officer with deployments to Afghanistan and Japan/Philippines. Mike’s dedication to the community and his corporate partners is an unwavering reflection of his military background. 

A champion for community, entrepreneurship, social impact, and economic development, Mike has established himself as a high-profile, relentlessly vocal advocate for Veterans and opportunity youth.

Tune into this episode to hear:

  • The proposal that made Mike say “never again” to giving away his expertise for free
  • How Mike quickly implemented the lead product, and raised his prices
  • How the No BS model is helping Mike build the foundation of his business so he can reach his “North Star” goals
  • How the lead product process also helps Mike get his small team on the same page
  • How the agency model gives Mike the freedom and flexibility to pursue his passions within his community
