Great business ideas are often born from personal frustration. @snapsoccerofficial is a great example of that. 

Founder John Guidroz started it after facing chaos at youth soccer tournaments—unorganized fields, missing refs. What began as a side project turned into a company managing 50+ events annually, with a dedicated team and regional collaborations. Despite challenges like COVID-19, John’s resilience and focus on relationships helped him grow and improve youth sports. 

John joined the Practical Rebels podcast to share his story of turning frustration into opportunity and his unexpected advice for entrepreneurs.

What happens when you blend craft, community, and Belgian traditions? 🇧🇪

@brettschweigert and @bethschweigert didn’t just start another brewery when they opened the doors to @oddcolonybrewing in 2019 on Palafox Street. They built a safe haven for beer lovers, a place both old and new friends could gather for storytelling and a community third place that is thoughtfully, beautifully designed. 

Since then, the couple has expanded their venture into East Hill with @theburrow.oddcolony, adding a full food program to go along with their locally brewed suds. From honoring Pensacola’s history to creating a space for markets, fundraisers, and important conversations, the Schweigerts are redefining what it means to be a local business. 

Our friends joined us on this episode of Practical Rebels to discuss their vision, intentions, and how we can create spaces that bring people together.

Zero click marketing is here to stay 🙅

Content marketing like blogging used to be a straightforward game. As long as you were making great, SEO-optimized content, you would be rewarded with clicks and waves of traffic to your website.

What does this mean for content creators? You have to switch up your strategy and structure your content specifically for the zero-click game. In this episode of Practical Rebels, the team discusses tips and tricks to make sure your content is built to rank for AI. Listen now on all of your favorite streaming platforms!
