#759 What if a simple postcard could open the door to a full-blown, high-margin local marketing agency? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Dalton Joyner and Rachel Smith, founders of Big Sky Automation, to break down a simple (and surprisingly profitable) local-agency growth play: using shared direct-mail postcards as a “foot-in-the-door” offer that brings small businesses in fast — then upselling into higher-value services like web development, Google Business Profile optimization, and reputation management. Dalton and Rachel share their origin story, how they structure the postcard program, the exact tools they use to fulfill mailers through USPS EDDM, and how they keep execution simple with Canva and automation. They also reveal how they’ve turned the model into an online community that helps others launch the same business in their own towns!

+ Shared direct-mail postcards
+ Low-cost “foot-in-the-door” offers
+ Splitting postcard costs
+ USPS EDDM fulfillment

#756 Hiring your first team members doesn’t have to feel scary — or expensive! In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back Eric Dingler, founder of In Transit Studios, to break down one of the biggest growth milestones for any entrepreneur: making your first few hires. Eric shares exactly how to know when you’re ready (hint: it’s earlier than you think), what roles to hire first (often admin around revenue, not “sales”), and where to find great talent — plus the three hiring paths he recommends (direct hire, supported hire, and “gap” hiring). They also dive into building SOPs as you go, the four traits Eric interviews for (character, chemistry, calling, competency), and his “10/10/80” framework to make sure hiring actually increases revenue instead of just adding payroll!
What we discuss with Eric:
+ When you’re actually ready to hire
+ Starting with 10 hours/week
+ First hires ≠ sales roles
+ Admin vs. revenue work
+ Where to find great hires
+ Upwork vs. agencies
+ Building SOPs while flying
+ Hiring for character first
+ The 10/10/80 framework

#752 What if the fastest way to more freedom, better clients, and a healthier life isn’t working harder — but setting better boundaries? In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back builder and podcast host Mark Williams (Mark D. Williams Custom Homes / The Curious Builder Podcast) for a powerful conversation centered on one core idea: boundaries create freedom.

The two also dig into personal boundaries at home, especially around phones and screen time, and why protecting your time, energy, and presence isn’t selfish — it’s what allows you to show up at your best for your business, your family, and yourself!

+ No texting after hours
+ Protecting family time
+ Avoiding entrepreneurial burnout
