  • Action Over Perfection: Why Momentum Beats Waiting
    In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, entrepreneur and author Daniel Baarns—founder of Baarns Detailing—shares the mindset behind his book Just Start and why action beats perfection every time.

    Daniel wrote Just Start to challenge the fear, overthinking, and perfectionism that keep so many people from ever taking the first step. Drawing from his experience building a mobile detailing business, he explains how momentum is created through action—and how clarity comes after you begin, not before.

    This conversation explores the heart of the entrepreneurial revolution happening at the local level and how the Backyard Advantage—community, enthusiasm, and relationship building—plays a critical role in personal branding, leadership, and long-term success.

    Topics include:
    • Lessons from Daniel’s book Just Start
    • Overcoming perfectionism and fear
    • Building a business before everything feels “ready”
    • Creating a meaningful personal mission statement
    • The role of community building and relationships
    • Insights connected to the Sacramento Entrepreneurship Academy
    • How action fuels momentum in venture capital and angel investing

    If you’re stuck waiting for the perfect moment, this episode is your reminder that progress comes from movement. The most important step is to just start.

  • Restoring Confidence, Teamwork, and Character in Youth Sports
    Kids today don’t just need places to play — they need positive environments where they can learn, compete, and grow. That’s what the National Academy of Athletics is trying to restore.

    In this episode, CEO Aaron Locks and Area Captain Marcus Tolibas break down how their talk.teach.PLAY!® method gives kids the same lessons many adults learned growing up on playgrounds, parks, driveways, and neighborhood courts — life skills like confidence, teamwork, communication, sportsmanship, and effort.

    Aaron shares how legendary coaches like John Wooden and Dale Brown shaped the method he now teaches to coaches across the country. Marcus brings the local perspective — showing how Sacramento communities are rebuilding youth sports by focusing on fun, fundamentals, and character over trophies.

    Together, they explain why kids quit sports, how to keep them engaged, and why parents should be asking more questions about how their kids are being coached, not just what sport they’re playing.

    🌟 TOP TAKEAWAYS
    • Why kids aren’t learning life skills in many modern youth leagues
    • The difference between “coaching drills” and actually teaching kids
    • What talk.teach.PLAY!® looks like during a real practice
    • Why competition still matters — and how to teach it correctly
    • How recreation departments and schools can rebuild community through sports
    • The #1 thing parents should ask before signing their kids up

  • He Sold His Jet Ski Startup…Now He’s Replacing Plywood With Recycled Plastic
    Meet Jordan Darling, a serial entrepreneur whose journey spans from building the first electric stand-up jet ski to disrupting the $200B building materials industry with his new company, Supersede.

  • Special Operations Association of America (SOAA): The Mission Never Ends
    Today, on Veteran’s Day, we’re honoring the men and women who never stopped serving.

    In this conversation, we sit down with Jeremy Thompson and Ian Boeye from the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) — an organization fighting to ensure America’s elite warfighters are never forgotten, neglected, or left behind after their service.

    SOAA is doing what most people don’t realize still needs to be done:

    • Advocating for Special Operations forces in Washington
    • Mobilizing rescue operations in crisis zones
    • Supporting medical and psychological recovery for veterans
    • Rebuilding the pipeline of American service and leadership

    This isn’t politics — it’s patriotism.
    This is about love of country, brotherhood, and the belief that America is still worth defending.

    If you know someone who has served — share this episode with them today.
    Let them know they are seen.
    They are appreciated.
    They are not alone.

  • If You Own a Yard, You Need This: YardPro Founder Arik Levy
    What if you actually knew where every sprinkler line, valve box, tree, drain, wire, and irrigation zone was on your property?

    That’s the problem that Arik Levy set out to solve when he built YardPro — a GPS-based property mapping and maintenance app designed for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who are tired of guessing what’s underground.

    Arik isn’t new to solving real-world problems.
    He’s a serial entrepreneur, the founder of Laundry Locker and Luxer One, which scaled nationwide and processed over 250 million package deliveries before being acquired by ASSA ABLOY. After exiting, Arik didn’t retire — he doubled-down on his purpose: solving unsolved problems.

    In this conversation, Arik and Mark talk about:
    • How YardPro maps irrigation, utilities, and landscape assets with GPS accuracy
    • The evolution from “just a tool for my own property” to a scalable company
    • The journey from founding to exit to starting again
    • The role of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) in leadership, purpose, and growth

    If you're a homeowner, landscaper, property manager, or someone who hates wasting time figuring out where things are buried, YardPro might just change the game.
