  • The Airbnb Tax Hack Is a Trap | Lazy Leverage #118

    Every entrepreneur who writes their first six-figure check to the IRS hears the same pitch: buy an Airbnb, use the depreciation to wipe out your active income, save a fortune on taxes. Peter and Jon spent months looking at it. They're both saying no.

    In this one: why the Airbnb tax hack is a trap, what post-economic living looks like, and the four escape routes every operator considers when the tax bill hits (and why most cost more than they save).

  • I Locked 15 Business Owners in a Room to Solve AI. Here's What Works. | Lazy Leverage #117

    Jon just put 15 business owners in a room in San Diego for 2.5 days. Everyone doing over $3M a year. Nobody selling AI courses. In this episode: the 8 rules Jon and Zaki (Sagan's President of AI) came out with, why theory of constraints filters every AI decision, the 4 levels of AI access every home services business needs (spoiler: don't hand Claude Code to your maintenance tech), and why almost everything you're seeing right now is faster horses. Plus a new benefit for Crane members announced at the end.

      • Why You're Tracking 74 KPIs and Still Going Broke | Lazy Leverage #115

        Jon and Peter break down the simplifying framework quietly running their entire business strategy: the 2 numbers every CEO needs to track, pulled from Justin Roff-Marsh's speed-based operating system and theory of constraints. Why most business owners track 74 KPIs that don't matter. Why your bottleneck is the most profitable thing in your business. The 2-system model (business as usual vs growth) that stops your operations team from stealing resources from your marketing engine.

        • He Quit Private Equity to Buy a $5M Pool Business | Lazy Leverage #114

          Jon sits down with Austen Ebenger, a 28-year-old Wharton undergrad and NYU Stern MBA who left private equity in Boston, moved back in with his parents, and bought a $5.4M pool construction business in Orlando. In the first 90 days he lost $200,000 on a permitting disaster. A Zimbabwe hire with zero permitting experience fixed it. Inside: how he found a stale BizBuySell listing, why he skipped Q of E, why he uses global talent to upgrade quality, and his thesis for buying adjacent businesses next.

          • The 3 Levels of Buying Back Your Time | Lazy Leverage #113

            You have money. You don't have time. Jon and Peter break down the 3-level hierarchy of buying back your time, pulled from Dan Martell's framework by way of a viral Jeremy Haynes post. Cleaners and food delivery. House managers and executive assistants. A-player specialists who replace you in your highest-earning role. Underneath it: the inherited money scripts that stop business owners from using money to buy themselves a life, and Jon's argument for why he STILL doesn't have an EA. If you've ever felt rich on dollars and bankrupt on hours, this one's for you.

              Jon and Peter take MCDP 1 Warfighting, the Marine Corps manual Jon hands every new Sagan hire, and apply it to small business. Why small companies beat bigger ones with maneuver instead of attrition, how commander's intent runs a team better than any process doc, and what to do the next time someone on your team makes a $50,000 mistake. If you're tired of being the bottleneck on every decision, this one's for you.

              • We Stopped Building Software. We Build LEGO Bricks Now. | Lazy Leverage #111

                Jon sits down with Zaki Mahomed, Sagan's President of AI, to expose the LEGO brick strategy behind 50+ AI agent deployments. Why most AI projects die before they launch, the $500 agent that beats $25,000 SaaS contracts, and the brutal gap between weekend vibe coding and actually shipping AI inside your real business. If you've ever thought your business needed AI but had no clue where to start, watch this.

                • Until You Manage Time, You Can Manage Nothing Else | Lazy Leverage #110

                  Peter and Jon go deep on the one system that everything else depends on: time. They get into why every other tool, system, or hire is downstream of your ability to manage time, how to say no to almost everything, and why creating white space in your calendar is more valuable than filling it. Plus why AI makes this both better and much worse if you're not careful.

                • From One Truck to 100 Employees: The Hospitality Obsession Behind Monkey Wrench | Lazy Leverage #109

                  Jon sits down with Yossi Wachtel, owner of Monkey Wrench Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric in Los Angeles. Yossi built from one truck in 2007 to 100 plus employees in one of the hardest markets in the country. They get into his obsession with hospitality and what he calls reverse hospitality, how Nexstar changed everything, why global talent sharpened his accountability, and why deep industry expertise combined with AI curiosity is the real competitive edge of the next decade. This one hits different if you're in the trades.
