Dan Blaker was trapped in a sales job he despised while struggling to manage his mother's vacation rental with unreliable cleaners. Searching for an escape, he stumbled upon MaidThis, a cleaning franchise specializing in short-term rentals. With no entrepreneurial background, Dan took a huge risk, securing a personal loan with his mother's help to buy in and start his side hustle.

The beginning was a grind of late-night training calls and weekend work. The real test came when he was unexpectedly fired from his sales job, losing his only safety net. This pivotal moment forced him to go all-in on his business, hitting the streets with scrappy marketing tactics to survive. That pressure paid off—today, Dan’s generates over $250,000 a year, and he now trains other entrepreneurs entering the system.

In this interview, Dan joins Ryan Atkinson to share his incredible journey from frustrated employee to successful business owner. Tune in to learn about how to start side hustle apart from your day jobl, how he secured funding, and the resilient mindset required to build a profitable business from the ground up.

Takeaways:

- "Messy, imperfect action" will always beat cautious, slow, and manageable growth. Don't wait for the perfect plan; just get started.

- Losing your financial safety net can be a powerful catalyst, forcing you to commit fully and get resourceful with your business.

- When starting with limited funds, invest your time instead of your money. Scrappy, in-person marketing like networking and visiting potential clients can be highly effective.

- The emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship are real. Learn to separate your feelings from the data-driven needs of the business to make logical decisions.

- Focus on the lifetime value (LTV) of a customer. Offering flexibility or a discount upfront can secure a client worth thousands of dollars over the long term.

- You don't need to reinvent the wheel. A franchise can provide the systems, playbook, and support network necessary to accelerate growth.

- Starting a business often requires creative financing. Don't be afraid to take calculated risks, like securing a personal loan, if you believe in your model.

- Resilience is a muscle built during the lowest points. Pushing through tough times equips you with the experience to know you can handle future challenges.

- A franchise is not a passive investment. It requires just as much hard work, accountability, and late nights as starting a business from scratch.

- Nobody knows exactly what they're doing when they start. The difference between a wannabe and an entrepreneur is the one who takes action despite the uncertainty.

Ty McBride comes from a long line of builders, but his grandfather urged him to forge his own path. Ty initially chased success by landing massive historic preservation contracts, only to find himself running a high-stress, low-profit “train wreck.” A sudden pivot during the pandemic pushed him back to his local community, where listening to his neighbors revealed a massive, unsolved problem: wood rot. This discovery led him to build a new business around a specialized epoxy repair service, turning a simple idea into a highly profitable and scalable national franchise.

In this interview with Ryan Atkinson, Ty shares the business strategy that turned his company around. He explains how to dominate a niche business with a "mile deep, inch wide" approach, why true success lies in profitability, not just revenue, and how the "just ship it" mindset is crucial for starting a business. Don't miss these hard-won lessons on building a resilient home services company from the ground up.

Takeaways:

- Focus on Profit, Not Just Revenue: Build a sustainable business by prioritizing profitability from day one. As Ty states, "Revenue is for vanity, profit's for sanity."

- Go a "Mile Deep and an Inch Wide": Dominate your market by becoming a specialist in a specific niche. This focus allows you to build better systems, charge premium prices, and become the go-to expert.

- Adopt the "Just Ship It" Mentality: Overcome the fear of starting by taking action before you feel 100% ready. Securing the work first and then figuring out the perfect solution is a powerful way to launch your business.

- Listen for Your Biggest Opportunities: Your customers' small, recurring problems can reveal massive gaps in the market. By listening carefully, you can identify a high-demand service that competitors have overlooked.

- Big Contracts Can Be a Trap: Chasing the largest jobs isn't always the best business strategy. A model built on smaller, more profitable, and repeatable services can lead to greater financial stability and less stress.

- Systematize One Thing Before You Diversify: Master and create efficient systems for your core service before you even consider adding another. Ensure your business can run smoothly without you before expanding your offerings.

- Solve the Root Problem, Not the Symptom: A true expert digs deeper than a customer's initial request. By identifying the real underlying issue, you provide more value and build stronger trust.

- Use Low-Cost Marketing to Start Lean: You can launch a successful home service business with a small budget. Targeted, "boots-on-the-ground" tactics like designing door hangers and canvassing ideal neighborhoods are highly effective for customer acquisition.

- Embrace the Pivot: Be prepared to change your business model. Ty’s most successful venture came after a forced pivot, proving that adaptability is essential for long-term success.

- Build Your Own Legacy: Even if an opportunity in a family business exists, the greatest growth and fulfillment often come from accepting the challenge to build something entirely your own.

Aubrey Janik was stuck with a Jeep she didn’t like. When a friend mentioned renting his car on Turo, she listed it that same night. That impulse decision grew into a massive car-sharing business with a 34-vehicle, self-funded fleet that now generates up to $40,000 a month in revenue.

What started as a side hustle became a lesson in smart asset acquisition. Aubrey mastered sourcing cars from Facebook Marketplace with a simple but brilliant strategy: buying reliable, depreciated vehicles below market value. This approach minimized risk and maximized profit on each rental, allowing her to rapidly expand her portfolio from one car to dozens.

In this interview, Aubrey joins Ryan Atkinson to break down her entire business model. She reveals her checklist for buying profitable used cars, the specific models that generate the highest returns, and her system for managing a large fleet. This episode provides a clear roadmap to generating serious passive income through car sharing.

Takeaways:

- Act quickly to avoid "analysis paralysis." The guest listed her first car the same night she heard the idea, emphasizing that taking immediate action is crucial.

- The most important strategy is to buy cars below market value that have already hit their depreciation floor. This minimizes financial risk and can even lead to a profit if the car is totaled.

- You can source an entire fleet of vehicles from Facebook Marketplace. This allows you to find deals and scale without relying on traditional dealerships.

- Don't rent out a personal vehicle you're emotionally attached to. Treat the cars purely as business assets and be prepared for wear, tear, and damage.

- Reliable, low-maintenance brands like Toyota and specific Hyundai models offer the best value. Certain Hyundais, like the Elantra GT, have a lifetime engine warranty, making them a particularly smart buy.

- A single car can generate significant revenue, with good cash cars earning $900-$1300 a month and higher-end models earning up to $2,100 a month.

- The business is highly scalable. The guest grew her fleet from one car to 34, turning a side hustle into a full-time business generating up to $40,000 a month.

- The barrier to entry is low. The guest's second car was purchased for under $3,000 in cash, funded by profits from the first car and personal savings.

- Strictly follow the platform's Terms of Service. This is your primary protection against liability and financial loss in case of an accident.

- Total losses are a predictable part of the business. By purchasing cars correctly (below market value), you can be financially covered or even profit from an insurance payout

Imagine going from working warehouse shifts to keep your family afloat to owning a portfolio of over 140 rental units and multiple laundromats. That’s Brandon Schlichter's real-life story, and it’s one you have to hear. He found a secret most online gurus miss: while everyone’s chasing the same digital dreams, real wealth is hiding in 'boring businesses' with way less competition.

In this chat with our host Ryan Atkinson, Brandon gets super specific on how he built his empire. He walks us through his playbook for buying a business, using creative finance, and setting up brilliant business scaling systems so he only works a few hours a week.

 If you're looking for a realistic path to passive income, finding business ideas, and achieving genuine financial freedom, this episode is a total game-changer. It’s your sign to stop scrolling and start building something real.

Takeaways:

- True wealth is often built in "boring businesses" like laundromats and car washes, which are overlooked because they seem like hard work.

- The primary advantage of boring businesses is low competition; it's better to compete with five local owners than one billion people online.

- A single, well-placed laundromat can generate significant income, potentially over $175,000 in net profit per year.

- These businesses are not passive initially. They require significant front-loaded work to establish robust systems and processes before they can run with minimal effort.

- To vet a laundromat location, look for a geographic area with around 7,500 people and a renter population of at least 35%, as customers rarely travel more than a mile.

- Calculate the long-term value of your time. A task that seems menial is worth it if the business's 10-year opportunity averages out to $1,500+ per hour.

- Many aging small business owners haven't updated their processes in decades, creating a massive opportunity for new buyers to modernize and drastically increase profits.

- To learn an industry with no experience, offer to work for free at a local business. Most owners will gladly accept free, competent help in exchange for teaching you the ropes.

- The single most important skill for scaling any business is learning how to effectively manage other people.

- For a business, you can start this weekend for under $500, considering small engine repair. There is a huge demand, and many repairs are simple carburetor cleanings that you can charge $100+ for.

Eric Barstow graduated with an economics degree, seemingly destined for Wall Street. Instead, he stuck with the painting business he started in college—a side hustle that was already generating $110,000 a year while he worked only five to ten hours a week. Realizing the massive opportunity and low competition in the home service space, Eric leaned in. Today, he is the co-founder of National Painting Group, projecting $35 million this year, and runs Painting Business Pro. And guess what? He barely knows how to paint.

Eric’s entire model proves entrepreneurs don't need trade skills to build a multi-million dollar service business; they need systems. His strategy relies entirely on leveraging subcontractors—a method that fixes profit margins, eliminates liability, and perfectly manages seasonal slowdowns. He reveals his exact tactics for finding reliable subs (including his specific Craigslist and paint store strategies) and shares the "Phase Zero" marketing hustle needed to land your first customers, including his scripts for door-to-door marketing.

He details his proven sales process, including how to use price anchoring and specific incentives to close deals on the spot, and breaks down the financial model required to maintain a 20% net profit margin. If you want to build a highly profitable business without ever picking up the tools, this episode is essential listening.

Takeaways:

- You do not need to be skilled in the trade to build a successful trade business; Eric is an awful painter, but he excels at building marketing, sales, and management systems.

- Leveraging subcontractors instead of employees is the most efficient way to scale a service business, as it fixes your margins (fixed price per job), reduces liability, and allows you to scale up or down instantly with seasonal demand.

- Find reliable subcontractors by posting ads twice daily in both the "general labor" and "skilled trades" sections of Craigslist, or by approaching painters in unmarked vans at local paint stores.

- In "Phase Zero" (getting from $0 to stability), focus only on marketing that generates leads quickly, such as door-to-door sales and lawn signs. Avoid long-term plays like SEO or vehicle wraps.

- A highly effective lawn sign strategy is placing them near high-traffic retail areas (like Costco or Whole Foods) on a Friday afternoon, as city workers are unlikely to remove them over the weekend.

- Use "price anchoring" in your sales process. Before showing the contract, verbally tell the customer the typical price range for a job their size (e.g., "A house like this is usually about $6,000") to reset their expectations.

- Create urgency and close deals on the spot by offering incentives that also benefit your business, such as a small dollar amount discount (never a percentage) if they sign that day or agree to take an urgent open spot on your schedule.

- You should aim for a 20% net profit margin. A healthy budget allocates 50% to labor/materials, under 10% to marketing, 6-7% to sales, 6-7% to project management, and 7-8% to overhead.

- The market size is irrelevant; success depends on implementation. Eric has clients doing millions in revenue in towns with populations as small as 27,000.

- Build the business around your desired lifestyle from day one. By setting firm constraints (like working only 30 hours a week or never on weekends), you force yourself to build efficient systems rather than just working more hours.

Alex Smereczniak's entrepreneurial journey began in college, where he scaled a simple laundry service into a $300,000 a year business with a single, brilliant marketing hack. That early success was so powerful that he walked away from a prestigious corporate job after just 18 months, convinced the 9-to-5 was a broken system. His next venture led him into the world of franchising, where he uncovered its dark side: an industry filled with biased brokers and misaligned incentives. To fix this, he built Franzy, a revolutionary AI-powered marketplace known as the "Zillow for franchises," designed to bring transparency and data-driven matching to aspiring entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Alex demystifies the path to successful business ownership and breaks down who franchising is truly for—from the corporate warrior seeking an exit to the investor looking for a profitable side hustle. He provides a clear roadmap for starting a business, detailing how to secure financing through options like SBA loans and identify the business ideas that genuinely align with your lifestyle goals, and explains the myth of passive income.

Tune in to learn how to avoid costly industry traps and leverage a proven playbook to find the franchise that will build your future.

Takeaways:

- A single clever marketing angle is more powerful than a large budget; Alex turned a $30k business into $300k with one strategic move at student orientation.

- Don't wait for the "perfect time" to start your business, as it will never come; the best time to take the entrepreneurial leap is always today

- Franchising can nearly double your chances of success, with 85% of franchises surviving past five years thanks to a proven playbook and support system.

- Define your personal "why" before buying a business; true wealth is aligning your work with goals like lifestyle and happiness, not just chasing the highest profit.

- Be skeptical of franchise brokers, as their large commissions from specific brands can create biased recommendations that benefit them more than you.

- Business ownership is more accessible than you think with financing options like SBA loans and using your retirement funds tax-free via a ROBS rollover.

- AI platforms are disrupting the old franchise model by providing unbiased, data-driven recommendations, removing the need for biased brokers.

- The idea of passive income from a new franchise is a myth; success requires consistent, hands-on effort, especially in the beginning.

- A corporate job can be the perfect catalyst for entrepreneurship by revealing the flawed systems you want to escape and build something better for yourself.

- Accelerate your success by surrounding yourself with mentors and peers who are already further along on the entrepreneurial journey you wish to take.

Joseph Lambert was just 17 when a single four-hour junk removal job netted him $1,600 in cash. While his friends were focused on college applications, Joseph saw a different path—a simpler, more scalable business model that others overlooked. That one job was the spark that ignited a multi-million dollar enterprise, growing into a $1 million-a-month operation before he was old enough to legally drink.

In this episode, Joseph sits down with Ryan Atkinson to pull back the curtain on his rapid success. He reveals the exact marketing strategies and sales tactics he used to get his first customers and generate thousands of five-star reviews. You'll learn his non-negotiable hiring rules for building a trustworthy team, the secrets to creating an unforgettable customer experience that fuels repeat business, and the critical financial lesson he learned about the difference between revenue for vanity and profit for sanity.

If you're looking to start a home service business or scale your current operation, this interview is a masterclass in smart business growth. Joseph provides a practical blueprint on P&L management, leadership, and turning a simple, "unsexy" idea into a highly profitable empire. Tune in to discover the actionable advice you need to build your own successful business from the ground up!

Takeaways:

- The most important part of any service job is creating an exceptional customer experience that turns one client into five referrals through word-of-mouth.

- Make getting customer reviews a non-negotiable process by incentivizing your team with bonuses and monthly competitions; this is crucial for building social proof and trust.

- When starting out, build your marketing funnel from the bottom up, focusing first on high-intent channels like Google Ads before scaling to broader branding efforts.

- Your hiring standard should be simple: never hire someone you wouldn't feel comfortable sending to your mother's house. It's better to be understaffed than to compromise on quality.

- Prioritize profitability over revenue. "Top line is for vanity, bottom line is for sanity." Master your P&L management to ensure smart, sustainable growth.

- Track the KPIs you can control on a daily basis, such as labor and fuel costs. Give your team access to simplified financial reports to get their buy-in on hitting profit targets.

- For early business growth, leverage free marketing tactics relentlessly. Use your personal network, knock on doors, and be creative to acquire your first customers without a large budget.

- Find a mentor who is at least 20 years older than you. Their wisdom and experience are invaluable for avoiding common entrepreneurial mistakes.

- In the first few years of your business, pay yourself as little as possible and reinvest heavily—as much as 20-30% of revenue—back into marketing to accelerate growth.

- True fulfillment in entrepreneurship comes from a "bigger why" than just money, such as investing in your team and caring for customers. The dollars will follow if you do those things well.

Kason Knight was a successful mechanical engineer in the oil and gas industry when a sharp downturn hit. His job vanished overnight, leaving him with a newborn daughter and a mortgage to pay. Instead of returning to the corporate world, Kason doubled down on a side hustle he'd started with a single 3D printer in the corner of his kid's playroom.

That small bet turned into ISOLIDS, a massive 3D printing company that now operates 160 printers out of a nearly 9,000-square-foot facility. Serving high-stakes industries like aerospace, agriculture, and medical, Kason's business now generates over $500,000 a month. He transformed a self-funding hobby into a manufacturing powerhouse by focusing on strategic growth and building key relationships.

In this interview, Kason sits down with Ryan Atkinson to break down his incredible journey from layoff to CEO. He shares the blueprint for scaling a manufacturing business, the best way to manage your product development, the strategies he used to land major B2B clients by punching above his weight class, and why constant, strategic evolution is the key to sustainable business growth. If you're looking to turn your side hustle into your main gig , Kason’s entrepreneurship journey is definitely worth looking into.

Takeaways:

- Preparation Creates Luck: Having a side hustle for two years before being laid off provided a foundation to go full-time, proving that consistent hard work puts you in a position to capitalize on opportunities.

- Start as a "Self-Funding Hobby": Beginning with the simple goal of making a hobby pay for itself removes the initial pressure of profitability and allows a business to develop organically.

- Set a Hard Deadline: When going full-time, give yourself a clear timeline to become profitable. Kason gave himself two years, creating a benchmark for success or failure.

- Scaling Requires Strategic Pivots: The tactics that get you to your first major milestone won't get you to the next. You must be willing to pivot your strategy and invest in better tools—like upgrading from "shovels to an excavator"—to reach new levels of growth.

- Win Big Clients by Focusing Small: To land large B2B clients, focus on building a strong relationship with a single engineer or decision-maker within the company. Solve their specific problem, and they will become your internal champion.

- Embrace Constant Evolution: Entrepreneurship is a never-ending cycle of improvement. Be prepared for your processes to constantly change, as what works at one stage of business will not work at the next.

- Practice Mindful and Sustainable Growth: Rapid, uncontrolled growth can be dangerous. Aim for consistent, strategic growth where you can implement changes, evaluate the data, and confirm they had the desired impact before moving on.

- Your Definition of Success Will Change: The "dream" you have on day one will evolve. Acknowledge when you achieve your original goals, even as you set new, more ambitious ones.

- Know and Leverage Your Niche: Combine your unique background with your business idea. Kason's expertise as a mechanical engineer gave him a competitive edge in the technical 3D printing space.

- Support Your Gut with Data: Confidence to take risks comes from understanding your business metrics. Kason's decision to scale was backed by the predictable data that every new printer added a specific amount of revenue capacity.

Dan Nikas went from chasing criminals as a police detective to building a multi-million dollar e-commerce brand. After a sudden medical retirement at 36 upended his life, he was left with a family to support and no backup plan. With zero experience, he pivoted to e-commerce and scaled his clothing brand to over $4 million in revenue in just one year, proving that a relentless work ethic can overcome any lack of experience.

In this episode, Dan gives host Ryan Atkinson a masterclass in his digital marketing playbook. He breaks down his exact three-stage Facebook ads funnel for lead generation, his method for creating organic content that works, and the key metrics every founder should track. If you want a no-fluff guide to building and scaling an online business, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies you can use today.

Takeaways:

- Skills from seemingly unrelated careers are highly transferable; a detective's ability to find people who don't want to be found is directly applicable to finding customers in digital marketing.

- Successful advertising requires a three-stage funnel approach (Top, Middle, Bottom). Don't immediately ask for the sale; nurture the customer first by building awareness and trust.

- At the top of the funnel, the goal is to create broad awareness cheaply and allow potential customers to "self-filter" by engaging with your content, rather than trying to sell to everyone.

- Use the middle of your funnel to proactively answer common customer questions and overcome objections. Create content around your warranties, manufacturing process, brand story, and social proof.

- Your organic social media posts are the perfect testing ground for paid ads. If a post performs well organically, the algorithm has already validated it, indicating it will likely perform well with ad spend behind it.

- Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) is a more crucial metric than platform-specific return on ad spend (ROAS). Track your total marketing spend across all channels against your total gross revenue for a true measure of performance.

- Before you run ads, you must calculate your breakeven Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). Knowing the maximum you can spend to acquire a customer without losing money is essential for profitability.

- The key to a successful organic content strategy is consistency over virality. The algorithm rewards a consistent posting schedule, which builds reach and engagement over time.

- You don't need to create brand new content every single day. Repurpose your best-performing posts from a few months ago by changing the thumbnail, copy, or format.

- When starting out, a great product is more important than great marketing. A bad product will eventually be found out, no matter how clever the marketing is.

-The core of marketing is persuasion. If you can convince someone to do something when there is no benefit for them, it's far easier to convince them when they get a great product or service in return.

- Don't get emotionally attached to your ad creatives. Let the data and results tell you what's working and be ready to turn off a campaign that is failing, even if you love the creative.

This isn't a story about shortcuts. Brian’s big break didn’t come from an investor pitch; it was earned through years of hard work in a coffee shop. When his boss and future partner faced a crisis, Brian’s loyalty and commitment proved more valuable than any business plan. He was offered a co-founder position not because of what he had or because of his entrepreneurship experience, but because of who he is - someone with high integrity and capable of bringing out the best in others when it matters most.

That same principle is now the backbone of his restaurant, Bird Bird Biscuits, and its incredible company culture. In this episode, Ryan Atkinson and Brian dive deep into what it takes to build a team that genuinely cares. Brian shares his business leadership philosophy of "tending the garden"—nurturing his people while actively pruning bad habits—and gives a masterclass on creating a positive work environment that reduces turnover and drives success. Tune in for an honest conversation about servant leadership and how to build a business where your team is proud to show up.

Takeaways:

- Enter markets that are not saturated. Finding an underserved niche, like biscuit sandwiches in a taco-dominated city, provides a significant competitive advantage.

- Live or die by focus and simplicity." Instead of offering a wide range of products, concentrate on perfecting one thing to build a strong reputation.

- The most powerful marketing is a product and experience so good that customers become your biggest advocates through word-of-mouth.

- Company culture starts at the top. Leaders must personally live the values they preach, as their actions set the true standard for the entire team.

- View your culture as a garden that needs constant attention. You must actively nurture the good elements and "prune" the negative influences to keep it healthy.

- Establish core values that are action-oriented (e.g., "Blow people's minds") rather than passive, single words, as this makes them more practical to implement daily.

- The first and most important step in becoming a better leader is to work on yourself. Tend to your own "garden" of personal faults and opportunities for growth.

- Trust is forged in adversity. Proving your loyalty and reliability during a crisis can build the foundation for a strong and lasting business partnership.

- Don't rely on your own opinions. Create a system to test everything—from products to processes—and let customer feedback and data guide your decisions.

- Be prepared to pivot. The forced change to a service-window model during COVID unexpectedly maximized their kitchen's potential and boosted revenue.

- Integrity can be more valuable than capital. You can earn opportunities, like a business partnership with no buy-in, through demonstrated hard work and character.

- Approach leadership with the philosophy that "we're all just walking each other home." Seeing your team and customers as fellow travelers on a shared journey fosters empathy and unity.
