Jordan and Melinda Minyard sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast and discussed everything leading up to their decision to launch The Pour Choice. While being coffee shop entrepreneurs, with a beer and wine menu, may not seem groundbreaking or unique, what Jordan and Melinda created in Auburn, California quickly exploded with business! The secret ingredient? Their philosophy that, “You can either do things, or do things well,” and always striving for the latter. In this episode we’ll hear about their childhoods, getting married three weeks out of high school, college life, initial careers, and so much more. We’ll also go into their deeper vision for, not just creating a place to get coffee, but a staple in the community that people knew they could go to connect with friends and family.

 SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast once more and shared his insight on building and scaling a SaaS company with a virtual workforce. Mac’s extensive experience in the startup world gives him keen insight on the common mistakes new companies make -- and bad company culture can derail a company’s progress. We discuss the work that went into starting the company, scaling to bigger clients, decentralizing the decision making, which roles were the first to be outsourced, and so much more. Mac also shares his views regarding mentorship and why it’s important to have many mentors -- not one mentor or coach -- many! Whether you’re a SaaS company, a legal firm, a blue-collar company, or anything in between, Mac’s experience as an entrepreneur is relevant to any business.  

We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when someone realizes how their unique skill set can be applied in multiple industries and how it unlocked their true potential.

SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast and shared his experience as a serial entrepreneur who tried to do way too much, on his own, for way too long. His drive to solve problems and think creatively made him highly motivated as an entrepreneur, but it took a decade of side hustles before all of his experience came together to create a strong, healthy, and rapidly growing business. In this episode, we explore Mac’s past: growing up with a nuclear physicist and professional musician as parents, his college experience, and his first few startups.  Mac admits that he has probably made every mistake he could when it comes to startups, but one thing Mac never did was give up on his curiosity for solving unique problems. This is what ultimately led him to start SmartRIA, a compliance software and service, despite not having a background in financial services or compliance. For Mac, it is always about the identifiable problem and solving it in creative ways. We also go into Mac’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and warnings to not make the same mistakes he made.

Savion Nehemiah built his marketing and branding company, 413 Media, after his dad joked with him that he partied so much that he needed to get paid to party. That joke turned into a revelation, an idea, and eventually, a thriving business. In this episode, Sav dives into his process of building creative and impactful branding for companies and individuals. Sav has the unique hurdle of needing to systematize his process so that he can scale, but not so much that it restricts his creativity. We also explore the Name, Image, and Likeness industry, especially as it pertains to college, and even high school athletes. Sav also shares behind-the-scenes aspects of running a business, and the time and attention required for some of the less than exciting activities. 

We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when guests are able to share their authentic story about becoming an entrepreneur out of necessity. Not every business is built with a combination of education, deep pockets, and meticulous planning. Most of the time, it’s necessity, grit, and a desire to create something unique.

That joke turned into a revelation, an idea, and eventually, a thriving business. In this episode, Sav gives us a glimpse of his childhood, early business exposure, his short stint in a touring rap group, and how he worked with his college to develop a degree specifically for his passion. All this plays a role in his eventual launching of 413 Media, which he admits was more out of necessity than desire at the beginning. Sav shares stories of initial successes, flops, and pivots. And we touch on the new market for NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) marketing for college and high school athletes.

Finoa’s co-founder, Henrik Gebbing, revisits the Wealth Preservation Podcast to discuss the specific niche in the crypto investing world they are servicing, the process of scaling a company, the mindset of a business owner using investors’ money, and how they’ve exploded in growth since their 2018 launch date. Henrik is very open about their struggle to get the attention of venture capital, the mental fatigue from consistent rejection, the self-doubt, and the responsibility to best serve clients, investors, and employees. Finoa has the benefit of shaping their company with the new regulations that develop, but that does require Henrik and his co-founder, Chris, to be consistently on top of the ever-changing industry. 

In this episode we also discuss what specifically the institutional investors needs are and why Finoa is able to fill those needs. From security to regulation to staking assets…getting into the crypto space can seem a bit daunting.

This episode is a fantastic listen for anyone looking to learn a little more about the crypto industry or an aspiring entrepreneur who has the goal of one day getting venture capital. It is a rough yet rewarding road ahead. 

We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when someone realizes their hobby is in a field that is desperate for innovation…and they answer the call!

Finoa’s co-founder, Henrik Gebbing, isn’t just innovating in any old space. He is innovating inside an already innovative arena. That is the equivalent to a caveman inventing the BIC lighter when fire was just being discovered! But in all seriousness, Henrik’s entrepreneurial journey, though it takes place in an industry many don’t understand, has many of the same elements of the usual start-up story. 

In this episode, we look into Henrik’s past and learn a little more about his early childhood entrepreneurial signs. He reminisces about finishing his master’s program in San Francisco, having work visa complications prevent him from getting a job with a Bay Area tech firm, and how that issue was the best thing that could have happened.

We also go into Henrik’s first exposure to crypto and how foreign and sketchy the process used to be for crypto investors. Henrik and his then roommate (eventual business partner) discovered that the same process was used regardless of the amount or purpose of the crypto purchase. With an understanding that early adoption for regulation and streamlined crypto transacting could only strengthen the industry, Henrik and his business partner, Chris, got to work.

Xplicit Fitness is a boutique boxing gym with a tech-based sister company, Kount-!t, which, when combining the two businesses into one vision, makes for an exciting breakthrough in the boxing industry. Golden Glove Champion, Chad Yarvitz, walked away from what most would consider success to pursue what most would consider crazy. In this episode, Chad goes into the rise and fall of his original concept of a sports and boxing complex and how COVID forced him to rethink his business into something better. Chad had his hand in many ventures and was stretching himself too thin. He also was not fully systematizing his business to either increase efficiency or open himself up to becoming a franchise. COVID was the make-or-break moment for him to either close up shop or reshape his company. In this process, Kount-!t was born. We cover everything from how he was introduced to the technology that supports his smart punching bag, why he went the SaaS route, the partners he joined with, where his vision is set, and where YOU might be seeing a Kount-!t bag in the near future.

Xplicit Fitness is a boutique boxing gym with a tech-based sister company, Kount-!t, which, when combining the two businesses into one vision, makes for an exciting breakthrough in the boxing industry. Golden Glove Champion, Chad Yarvitz, walked away from what most would consider success to pursue what most would consider crazy. In this episode, Chad goes all the way back to his childhood, and we get to hear about his initial introduction to team sports, martial arts, and boxing. Through his athletic training and watching his dad always hustling, Chad developed a “never quit” attitude when it came to executing on his ideas. But even after accomplishing a 6-figure income at a young age, Chad knew time was ticking for him to get invaluable experience as an athlete and a trainer. We discuss his boxing career, his transition out of professional boxing, starting a gym, his mistakes and failures, what he’s learned, and how Covid helped him reshape his business into something much bigger.  

We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when someone realizes that they have much more room to grow, despite achieving what others would consider “making it.” Chad took the risk on himself, because he understood that trying, learning, and failing is a far better option than not trying and not learning. It makes you think about what it actually means to “fail.”
