This guy makes $1,900 a week teaching kids how to use hand saws. It started with one Facebook post that didnt even have pictures or pricing. (i'm telling you, this stuff works) And that post turned into $50,000 in five months. Then he signed a $30,000 contract for 14... weeks. Every Friday, two hours, 40 students. His startup cost was $425 in Harbor Freight tools. But he collected deposits upfront, so TECHNICALLY he could have started for free. Moms pay between $50 - $75 an hour per kid and the state of Florida pays him directly within 24 hours through their homeschool scholarship program. His business: Woodworking for birthday parties and shop classes. Kids build robots, bird feeders, skateboards, American flags. He cleared $12,000 in one week during spring break running three hour camps from 9 to noon. In this episode Mike: - Shows me the exact Facebook post that started it all - Breaks down how he convinced Milwaukee to sponsor him with $5,000 in free tools - Tells me why the homeschool market is completely untapped - Gives me the safety protocols and tool list to copy this weekend Mike was awesome. I know you'll like this episode.show more

Excellent business. Check the homeschool numbers in your state, and nationwide. Look at the trends. They can do reading, writing, math at home. Then look at retirees.

This tile guy started a concrete coatings business three months ago and he'll do $69,000 this month. $60k his first full month. and on track for 7 figures Startup cost? Under $1,000 if you rent the grinder. Maybe $25K if you buy everything new. Profit margins? Yes, Thanks for asking. Over 50%. This is just garage floor coatings. Nobody NEEDS their concrete coated. It's a luxury product. But the types of people who want it have money and they're not price sensitive. Mike charges $8 per square foot. His all-in materials cost is $2.06 per square foot. A typical two car garage is about 700 square feet. That's $5,600 in revenue and over $3,400 in profit per day. One crew can do a job in 10 hours. Sometimes less. Oh and he learned how to do this by watching YouTube videos. His first job was his own garage. Then he told people at church he was starting this thing. Booked three jobs that week just from word of mouth. From there it's been Meta ads at $30-100 per lead, 20% close rate, and booked solid ever since. In this episode Mike: - Breaks down the exact unit economics and profit margins - Shows how he reverse-engineered his pricing model - Tells me why Facebook ads crush Google for this business - Gives the three-material stack he uses and why he picked it - Explains why the bar is so low in blue collar businesses - Walks through how to start this for under $1,000 Mike's on track to do a million dollars his first year. It might be one of the best times ever to be AI savvy and in blue collar work. Mike is proof. Full episodes in the first comment below

Meet Phil. He's a retiree who didn't know how to code six months ago. Today he's closing $50,000 consulting contracts and building custom AI apps that clients gladly pay $3,500 for. He started by texting every contact in his phone. Over 1,000 people. And just asked to meet for coffee. With his first few meetings, he talked too much and tried to sell AI solutions instead of listening to their problems. But then he figured it out. Now, he just sits down, asks what's broken in their business, records the conversation on an AI pendant he wears, and plugs the transcript into Claude. Claude helps him build the solution, draft the contract, and even price the whole thing. One client is a chiropractor launching a new laser service. Phil charged $3,500 upfront and $1,500/month. Took him 12 hours to build the entire launch system. Another is an investment firm managing $1.4 billion. That contract? $50,000 for six months of part-time work. In this episode Phil: - Breaks down how he went from voice agents to $50K contracts in six months - Shows exactly what he built for each client and how long it took - Tells me why friends and family are the best first customers - Gives the framework he uses to stay motivated when nothing's working yet This one fired me up. Check it out.

This guy made $252,000 last year selling lemonade at farmers markets. Meet Don. He started this three years ago with his kids at a farmers market in Frisco. Last year they did $252k in 8 months. His cost per lemonade? $1.25. He sells it for $7. He's at two markets now. Dallas Farmers Market pulls $2,500 a day. Frisco does $1,200 to $1,500. That's a $5,000 weekend just in Dallas alone. But Don is my kind of guy. He added catering and rentals and this is what happened: One corporate event: $2,900 for four hours serving 300 lemonades. Another event: $19,000 serving frozen bananas. Twelve grand profit. He doesn't pay for ads. Just Facebook Marketplace for rentals, SEO for catering, and word of mouth at the markets. He also rents out his custom cart for $500 a day. Weddings, office parties, classic car shows. Drop it off, pick it up, done. In this episode Don: - Walks through the unit economics of a $7 lemonade - Shows how he scales with a couple running one market while he runs the other - Tells me why he's not worried about competition even though anyone could copy this - Breaks down the $19k frozen banana catering order he landed from a video I posted - Gives me his advice for anyone wanting to start: stop overthinking it and just post up This one blew my mind. Check it out.

Jon Bernthal admits he can’t escape scripts with the line, “Let me tell you something.” “There’s like all these memes all over the internet and like I think it started in Walking Dead because it was sort of in there and I was like, ‘You know, that makes sense for this guy.’ So I started throwing it in a lot but I mean you could watch hours of me just saying that but it’s in every script. “Then it got built into Punisher and I couldn’t believe it was in. I mean how could that be in this.”

Shaq says Michael Jordan is the GOAT because he never lost in the Finals 🐐 "Mike is the greatest of all time because of how he played, how he dominated, and he never lost in the finals. So, I know a lot of people going to see this like you said and 'oh, he doing this and he do that.' I played with Kobe, I know what a killer he was, but to me as a kid and going against him, then being the only guy to beat him in the playoffs for him to retire after three and then come back and get three, yeah, he was a different animal."

Androgenic reveals the details of how and why his close friend, fitness influencer, and looksmaxer Connor Murphy died 💔 “He started to get this fixation on gold. He started to believe that gold was some gatekept mineral by the higher-ups that basically gives you special powers if you ingest it…” “A few weeks later he started the experiment, he was injecting gold… He was just crazy. He was covered in discoloration from gold poisoning… He ended up covered in his own blood, running around his neighborhood screaming, and then the police where called, and then the police chased him down, he ran into the lake, tried to escape, and we know what happened. Rest in Peace” “I always had this thought that Connor Murphy is so deeply misunderstood… but it is so unfortunate that I so desperately wanted him to be vindicated. I wanted Connor Murphy to completely vindicate himself and for people to realize, wait this guy is onto something, this guys actually a smart guy that actually know how to live, better than the average guy does…” “I miss him deeply, and I wish he didn’t do that obviously… At the end of the day, I f-cking love Connor, and I hope he’s living in some blissful afterlife.”

I just talked to a guy who makes $27,000 a month doing something any of us could do with a phone and Go High Level. 90% profit. Aaron was a receptionist at a siding company when he noticed the business relied on one massive relationship. A bigger siding company down the road sent them hundreds of leads every year. Free referrals that kept the whole operation running. He thought, if one relationship is worth that much, what if I could replicate it? So he started cold calling roofers and siding companies. Making introductions for $150 each. Just connecting people who should already be talking to each other. Then he made a pivot that changed everything. Instead of calling business owners cold, he started texting them with a project in hand. His response rate jumped from 5% to 15%. Now his business is simply "referral pipeline building" He texts 200 custom home builders asking if they need an electrician. Gets 2 to 4 who say yes. Qualifies the projects. Then texts 100 electricians saying he has those jobs ready to bid. 10 to 15 electricians reply within hours. He calls them all and closes the deal. One painter got 4 bids worth $17,000 to $64,000 within 48 hours of one text campaign. Paid Aaron $6,000 upfront. It's stuff like this that no one wants to do, that REALLY works. In this episode Aaron: - Walks through his exact cold texting scripts - Shows how he pivoted from appointments to delivering projects upfront - Tells me why Go High Level is the only software he needs - Gives me the ROI math that makes this a 1000X value for his clients Imagine if you just went out there and tried to replicate this... Whats the worst that could happen?

This dude makes over $10,000 per month working 4 to 5 hours a week. His brother-in-law did $700 in his first week. Another guy he knows in this space averages $25,000 to $30,000 a month in net profit. Another one did $40,000 last month with 1,100 videos. There's no overhead. You're not buying inventory. You don't have fees. You WILL make money (he says). What is it? Amazon influencer videos. You film product reviews with your phone and upload them to Amazon. If somebody watches that video and buys the product, you get a commission. Why am I just hearing about this?! Trevin has been doing this for 3 years. One umbrella stand video he made 2.5 years ago still makes him $500 to $3,500 a month. It took 60 seconds to film. In this episode Trevin: - Breaks down how to get approved and what makes Amazon flag your first 3 videos - Shows me the exact products that pay 10% to 50% commissions instead of Amazon's standard 0.5% to 3% - Tells me why brands are now sending free products to his house by the truckload - Gives me the hook stacking framework that keeps viewers watching longer - Walks through how his family of 10+ people all quit their jobs to do this Check this one out!

This story about how Zuck pushed Aditya Agarwal to his extreme & made him build the search engine in the early days is awesome! Aditya was one of the early engg in Facebook & in week 2 of joining he was still figuring out what to do,none were giving any directions. Mark walked upto him & asked him to build a search engine -just him he didn't mean a team. Because people want to search for others through the search engine in Facebook & this is crucial. Aditya was pretty skeptical about himself as he didn't know how to build one. He suggested hiring someone from Google or Yahoo to build this out, Mark was like: "Dude if I can build Facebook you can build a damn search engine" And he actually ended up doing it! Still now he shares this lesson from this defining moment of his life to every founders - Anything could be done if you'd put your mind into it.

I just interviewed a guy who did $100,000 in his first 100 days placing overseas talent with blue collar business owners. He started with $200. No tech background. No recruiting experience. His entire tech stack to launch the company was QuickBooks, Wi-Fi, a computer, and Lovable. That's it. What does he do? He runs a staffing agency that connects plumbers, electricians, and landscapers with full-time admins and marketers from Latin America. The talent costs the business owner around $1,200 to $1,600 a month full-time. He charges his clients $4,500 to $5,200 one time to make the placement. Then he offers a $200 a month membership for ongoing support. 75% of his clients pay for the membership.

This guy made $8,000 net profit in two days selling something out of a $1,000 cart he gutted in his garage. The cart was a Home Depot tool chest he modified himself. Total startup cost under $1,000 for everything. His product cost is less than $3 per unit. He sells it for $8.50. He can serve a customer in 30 seconds flat while everyone else is messing around with $30,000 machines that take 5 minutes per order. This is a $250 billion event industry that nobody talks about. Weddings, corporate picnics, air shows, night markets, car washes, gas stations. He's already helped divorced moms, military spouses, and immigrants set up the exact same system. What is it? Iced coffee from a modified tool cart. That's it. Guys, you DON’T have to reinvent the wheel. I keep telling you this. The guy I talked to is Marc. He's a 66 year old lawyer who spent years helping people buy businesses on visas. He saw the coffee keg system, knew the guy was doing it wrong, and built something better. In this episode Marc breaks down: - How to make $100-400 per hour in profit at the right locations - Why car washes might be the best untapped venue in America - Tells me the exact Home Depot cart he uses and how to convert it - The exact unit economics on every cup Whether you love coffee or have never even tasted it like me, as long as you love business, you're going to love this episode.

This guy went from delivering for DoorDash to doing $81,000 in revenue in his third month of business. Before you scroll away because you think you can't do this as well, you can. Here's why: 1. He started with less than $500. 2. He subcontracts out all the work. 3. He goes to the job site maybe twice a month. 4. He's not licensed. 5. He doesn't do the installs. 6. He doesn't even stock inventory at his house. But WHAT does he do? Whole home water filtration systems. He's competing against billion dollar companies that charge $6,000 to $8,000 for the same system. He charges $2,700 and scoops up everyone that doesnt want to pay a ridiculous amount It costs him $175 to acquire a customer and he closes 25% of his leads. His net margins are around 30% In this episode Parker: - Breaks down exactly how he found plumbers on Indeed and got them working for him in four days - Shows how he's closing deals without ever doing an in-home visit or water test - Tells me why he's picking up all the scraps left behind by the big guys - Gives me the exact tech stack he uses to run the whole business - Explains why this model works for a thousand other high-ticket home services Parker was awesome!

Tyson Bagent on how Case Keenum broke the news that Bagent was starting: "Case hit me asking what time I was getting to the facility. I got in, and he was telling me how appreciative he was of me during his start, and then told me he hopes I have a night like he had, and that this week is my week because I'm starting. He's a top-two teammate I've ever had, and he's definitely not two. I gave him a big hug, told him how much he meant to me, and then it was business as usual going forward." Gotta love Case, such a great Leader.

This guy makes $4,000 a month profit working 5 hours a week. He has two kids at home, a full time job and a side business that's almost 100% automated. This is my kind of guy. He started it with zero experience in the industry. First month did $2,300 in revenue. Today he's pulling $5,500 to $7,500 a month with overhead sitting at $2,000. That's $200+ an hour for his time. What is it? Glad you asked-- Trailer rentals. Dump trailers, enclosed trailers, flatbeds. He bought 10 used trailers from a guy on Facebook Marketplace who was moving out of the area. Then, set up a system with lock boxes and GPS tracking. Customers book online, show up, unlock their trailer, and go. In this episode Nathan: - Breaks down the exact unit economics on dump trailers versus enclosed trailers - Shows how he automated the whole thing so he's only taking calls and swinging by twice a week - Tells me why this might be the lowest risk business you can start - Gives the exact websites where you can test demand before buying a single trailer - Walks through how to finance the trailers and scale to multiple locations This one is solid.

I just talked to a guy who makes $50,000 a month subleasing semi trailers to truckers. He doesn't own a single trailer and he literally started with zero experience and a $4,000 insurance policy. His first client was his uncle who needed a trailer and didn't have good credit. Eli found a company that would lease him a 53-foot trailer for $350 a month. Deal! He charged his uncle $180 a week. Took a deposit. Billed weekly. The subleasing company didn't charge him until 30 days later. So he pocketed cash from day one. A few months later he had 10 trailers out generating $7,500 a month recurring. All from Facebook Marketplace posts USING STILL IMAGES. This is not rocket science, ya'll Most deals closed over Facebook Messenger. Six years later he had 300 trailers rented out across five states and was netting $50,000 a month with two virtual employees. Eli ran the whole operation from his phone. In this episode Eli: - Walks through the exact Facebook Marketplace posts that got him 25 new clients a month - Shows how he structured contracts to protect himself when trailers disappeared - Gives me the names of companies you can sublease from today - Breaks down the exact unit economics on every trailer I love stories like this!

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.
