44 min - The 3 Questions That Built Her 6-Figure Dream Business (Part 2/2)
#996 What if your best client could disappear tomorrow — would your business survive it? In part 2 of our two-part conversation with Libby Gill, we dig into the sales psychology behind pricing conversations, why relying too heavily on one big client is a hidden danger for entrepreneurs, and how corporate coaching engagements differ from working with fast-moving solopreneurs. Libby shares how she built credibility with major corporate clients through "chemistry meetings" and relatable case studies, why she turned down clients who weren't the right fit, and her practical framework for building a dream business on the side of a day job — including how to test a concept before quitting anything. We also swap stories about hobbies-turned-businesses (and hobbies that are just meant to stay hobbies), and Libby closes with her simple three-step definition of leadership: clarify the vision, simplify the pathway, execute the plan!
What we discuss with Libby:
+ Sales psychology: never corner a client on price
+ Silver/gold/platinum pricing tiers to upsell or downsell
+ Handling the "let me think about it" objection
+ Corporate clients vs. entrepreneurs: different dynamics
+ The danger of over-relying on one big client
+ Speaker bureaus vs. direct bookings
+ Building a dream business alongside a day job
+ Testing a business idea before committing
+ Hobbies vs. businesses: knowing the difference
+ Libby's three-step definition of leadership

29 min - The 3 Questions That Built Her 6-Figure Dream Business (Part 1/2)
#995 What if the "riskiest" career move you ever made turned out to be the smartest one? In this episode, we sit down with Libby Gill — former Hollywood communications executive turned bestselling novelist and executive coach — to uncover how she walked away from a high-powered TV industry career to build a 26-year coaching business from scratch, with no formal business training. Libby shares the exact three questions she used to find her niche, why she believes the "first sale is to yourself," and how a simple monthly breakfast with her old boss turned into her most valuable business relationship. We also dig into pricing strategy, including her advice to "add 20%" to whatever you're planning to charge, and why the occasional "no" from a client actually means you're priced right!
What we discuss with Libby:
+ From TV exec to executive coach
+ Why the "first sale is to yourself"
+ Building a personal support squad
+ Networking through genuine relationships
+ Finding your passions, strengths, and market fit
+ Pricing: the "lowest high price" strategy

In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Brennan Dunn, founder of RightMessage — the software powering hyper-personalized websites and email campaigns for top creators like Ali Abdaal and Justin Welsh. Brennan shares how his journey from freelance developer to SaaS founder led him to build a tool that dynamically customizes webpages and emails based on each visitor’s needs.

43 min - The Delivery Business Giving Wineries, Ranchers, and Food Banks an Alternative to Amazon (Part 2/2)
#993 Capital, capital, and capital — that's what Adam Haber says it takes to build a business, and in part 2 of this two-part episode, he doesn't hold back on the hard truths. Adam, co-founder and CEO of Trellus, returns to Millionaire University to talk AI's role in logistics-heavy businesses, why he believes the market will eventually narrow to just a few dominant AI players (much like the auto industry and dot-com boom before it), and how to know when — and where — to expand to a new location. He shares his hiring philosophy of prioritizing kindness over resume lines, why he refuses to keep a toxic employee around no matter how hard it is to let them go, and the real story behind Trellus almost shutting down before finally finding its footing. Adam closes with the one question he wishes more interviewers would ask founders: what was your biggest setback, and how did you handle it?
What we discuss with Adam:
+ AI as a tool, not a replacement
+ Predicted AI market consolidation
+ Lessons from the dot-com boom
+ When to expand to new locations
+ Asset-light vs. asset-heavy expansion
+ Delegating and trusting partners
+ Why toxic employees must go fast
+ Hiring for kindness over resume
+ Acquiring early customer evangelists

30 min - The Delivery Business Giving Wineries, Ranchers, and Food Banks an Alternative to Amazon (Part 1/2)
#992 Trellus started as a marketplace meant to save mom-and-pop shops from Amazon — then the market spoke, and founder Adam Haber listened. In part 1 of this two-part episode, Adam, co-founder and CEO of Trellus, joins Millionaire University to share how his company pivoted from a same-day local marketplace into a same-day regional delivery service for heavier, more sensitive parcels — now focused on three unexpected verticals: wineries, direct-to-consumer ranchers, and food banks. Adam opens up about the humbling process of abandoning an idea he was emotionally attached to, why "what people say and what they do are two different things," and how his team built a driver network that pays living wages and earns real loyalty. He also dives into his philosophy on giving back, his "10-20-30-40" model for balancing charity, employees, investors, and growth, and why chasing endless wealth without purpose leads nowhere!
What we discuss with Adam:
+ Trellus's pivot from marketplace to regional delivery
+ Serving wineries, ranchers, and food banks
+ Why the original marketplace idea failed
+ How Trellus vets and pays drivers
+ Comparing Trellus to DoorDash and UPS
+ The meaning behind the "Trellus" name
+ Adam's "10-20-30-40" giving-back model
+ The Peter Luger's Theory of wealth
+ Adam's background as a commodity trader
+ Embracing pivots as an entrepreneur

In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Jeni Britton — founder of the iconic Jeni’s Ice Creams and now founder of Floura — to talk about creativity, curiosity, and the emotional side of entrepreneurship. Jeni shares how she started with nothing but vision, passion, and a gelato machine from a local Italian market, how she bootstrapped her way from a farmer’s market stand to 90 stores and 10,000 grocery doors, and why she believes emotion, intuition, and integrity are the true drivers of a lasting brand. From building a fellowship-style team to navigating growth, trust, and leadership, this conversation is packed with wisdom for founders who want to build something meaningful — and do it their own way!

52 min - She Trained AI to Think Like Her (Now It Runs Her Business) (Part 2/2)
#990 What if the AI tool you swore by six months ago isn't the one you should be using today? In part 2 of this two-part episode, Kinsey Soderberg returns to dig into the practical, ever-shifting reality of building a business with AI. She talks candidly about switching from ChatGPT to Claude (and back, and back again), why she recommends going deep with one or two tools instead of chasing every shiny new app, and how to actually know when an AI-generated output is ready to use versus needs more polish. Kinsey also breaks down her go-to framework for automating a task — start manual, refine it, turn it into a skill, then automate — plus how she's using Airtable and Claude together to track her growing pile of subscriptions and tools. We close out with reflections on niching down, bringing real-world expertise to AI workflows, and advice for young entrepreneurs figuring out their own path in the age of AI!
What we discuss with Kinsey:
+ ChatGPT to Claude switch (and back, and back again)
+ Bringing expertise + AI = the real magic

31 min - She Trained AI to Think Like Her (Now It Runs Her Business) (Part 1/2)
#989 Ever wish you could clone your brain into ChatGPT or Claude and have it actually sound like you? In part 1 of this two-part episode, we sit down with Kinsey Soderberg, founder of Authentic AI, who helps entrepreneurs (especially women) use AI tools without losing their voice, quality, or thought leadership.
