Starting Now with Jeff Sarris

This week I talk to Alex Llull, Twitter Thief extraordinaire. Alex has become an expert in the art of the steal. But we're not talking plagiarism, we're talking inspiration.

This week I talk to Andrew Leese about how he started his business, Socially Sound, in response to, and during, the pandemic. Earlier this year Andrew recognized that there is no book to teach the electronic music industry how to navigate COVID, so he's on a mission to help artists think more like marketers 1% each day.

In the second episode of the SPYR Show, Dave LaTulippe and I talk about money, diversification of income streams, and how we've created our sustainable, ultra-lean, minimalist business.
 
 If you have any questions about SPYR or about running an ultra-lean, minimalist business tweet to me @jeffSARRIS and Dave and I will tackle your question in a future episode.

This week on the podcast we're doing something a little different. Instead of talking to an entrepreneur about their unexpected path to entrepreneurship, today I'm talking to my business partner Dave LaTulippe in a bonus subseries that we're tentatively calling the SPYR Show.
 
 Every week on the SPYR Show Dave and I will dive into our business, SPYR, and discuss how we've kept going and sustained over the last decade.

The main episodes of this podcast will still feature my interviews with entrepreneurs and will continue to focus on getting started. But this subseries will be more freeform and an opportunity for Dave and I to just hang out, chat, and speak directly to you.

In this episode we talk about ambition, Bert Kreischer's Hot Summer Nights Tour, and van life.
