Episode 28: Unmitigated Disaster


Listen Later

Hotline Bling

In this episode, we chat about everything from fixing stuff around the house and shopping for new TVs to Sam’s resin project that didn’t quite go as planned. We also throw around some ideas for future projects and content, all while keeping things fun and light.

We get into the ups and downs of running a business—like how tough it can be to balance quality with getting things done quickly. We share the frustrations of making mistakes and dealing with customer complaints, and how important it is to take time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work. We also touch on how tricky it is to price our products and services just right, the impact of consumerism, and how some industries are all about racing to the bottom. By the end, we talk about finding the right audience for our business and adapting as things change.

Later on, we dive into finding your niche and offering something that stands out in a crowded market. Instead of competing on price, we focus on adding value for our clients. We also talk about how crucial repeat clients and word-of-mouth are for growing our business. Using coffee shops as an example, we discuss how they set themselves apart with the experience they offer, and how that applies to what we do, too. Lastly, we touch on the challenges of working with big companies and the value of building long-term relationships.
