Kevin, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, is the kind of entrepreneur who takes ideas and runs with them fast. Using tools like Claude AI and Replit, he’s built custom apps, like a meal and exercise tracker tailored to his specific health needs, in just 45 minutes. Yep, you read that right—45 minutes. And in this episode, he’s showing us exactly how it’s done.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How Kevin built a functional personal app to manage his health using AI tools in under an hour.The benefits and challenges of creating tailored solutions versus using off-the-shelf apps.Insights into Kevin’s process for launching the "Content Refresh Manager" WordPress plugin.Why personal software is the next frontier for entrepreneurs.How AI can democratize app development, empowering non-technical founders.Key Takeaways:AI is Your Brainstorming Buddy: Watching Kevin work with AI tools felt like seeing someone brainstorm with the ultimate creative partner.

  • From Spreadsheet Chaos to Financial Freedom with Tyson Koska, OnTrajectory

    From Spreadsheet Chaos to Financial Freedom with Tyson Koska, OnTrajectory
    2024/12/11
    Let’s face it: entrepreneurs are great at making money but often terrible at managing it. I’m talking endless spreadsheets, vague budgets, and a lot of stress that kept me up at night. If you’ve been there ( I know I have), you need to hear this week’s episode with Tyson Koska, founder of OnTrajectory.He’s solved a problem many of us face but rarely talk about: how to create a clear, actionable plan for financial success.After years as an engineer and analyst, Tyson realized there wasn’t a tool that could help him plan his financial future without the noise of industry agendas. So, he built one. OnTrajectory started as a passion project and has grown into a powerful platform that helps entrepreneurs and individuals create 50-year financial models, make smarter decisions, and find clarity in their financial lives.As someone who’s built and sold companies, I know the juggling act of balancing business growth with personal finances, and Tyson’s insights on bridging that gap are game-changing.What’s In It For You1. Facing Financial Truths as an EntrepreneurI’ll be the first to admit that for years, my financial strategy was to grow my businesses as quickly as possible and then “figure it out later.” Tyson shares how dangerous this mindset can be and why having a clear financial plan is not just about the money—it’s about giving yourself the freedom to make the best choices for your life and your business.For any of us who’ve had sleepless nights over cash flow or the uncertainty of “what’s next,” Tyson’s approach is a game-changer. He’s all about simplifying the process, which was music to my ears—I’ve always believed that complexity is the enemy of clarity, whether in business or in life.2. Learning to Market Beyond the ProductTyson’s journey wasn’t just about building a great tool. He had to learn how to market OnTrajectory effectively—and that shift from being a builder to being a marketer is something I know many of us struggle with. Tyson talks about stepping out of his comfort zone to reach new customers, including joining podcasts like mine to spread the word. His transparency around facing these challenges is a powerful reminder that, as entrepreneurs, we have to evolve continually. It’s not enough to have a great product; we need to get it in front of the right people.3. Simplify to ScaleOne of the biggest takeaways for me from this episode is Tyson’s philosophy on simplifying to scale. In my own experience, it’s easy to fall into the trap of adding more features, more services, and more complexity—thinking that more is better. Tyson did the opposite: he recognized that growth often comes from stripping back to what really works and making it even better. I’ve seen this firsthand—whether in building a business or managing a team, the clearer and more focused you can make things, the easier it is to grow.Here’s what stood out most to me in this chat:Clarity Drives Confidence: The more you understand where your money is going, the easier it is to make big decisions—whether that’s investing in a new venture or taking a well-deserved break.Community Engagement Fuels Growth: Tyson emphasized how listening to his users helped shape OnTrajectory into what it is today. I’ve seen this time and again—your community will guide you if you let them.Focus on What Matters: Growth doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things better. Tyson’s shift to simplifying OnTrajectory is a reminder to all of us that sometimes, less is truly more.Build a Business That Works for YouWhat if you could work fewer hours, grow your revenue, and feel completely confident about your financial future? That’s not just a dream—it’s a plan we can create together. Drawing on my experience scaling businesses and helping entrepreneurs like you eliminate bottlenecks, I’ll guide you toward building a business that truly works for you.Here’s how I can help you:Streamline Your Operations: Identify bottlenecks and build systems that save time and increase profitability.Achieve Financial Clarity: Learn how to model your personal and business finances for smarter decision-making.Scale Strategically: Shift your focus to high-impact opportunities that drive long-term growth.Let’s map out a strategy tailored to your needs so you can focus on what matters most.

You need a way to show yourself off in the marketplace."Connect with Tyson Koska:LinkedInXWebsiteFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite

  • What Happens When You Stop Chasing Profits and Start Building Value with Gabe Galvez, Verde Holdings

    What Happens When You Stop Chasing Profits and Start Building Value with Gabe Galvez, Verde Holdings
    2024/12/04

    We often celebrate fast exits and quick wins, but Gabe Galvez flipped the script. In our chat, he shared why lasting value—not speed—is the ultimate entrepreneurial goal. His focus on capital preservation over chasing trends resonated deeply, reminding me that the best businesses aren’t built overnight but for the ages.


    About Gabe Galvez

    Gabe Galvez is an entrepreneur and private equity expert who focuses on building lasting businesses. He founded Captarget and Merger Labs, which help companies thrive in the M&A space, and is a partner at Verde Holdings, a multifamily office.


    Gabe advocates for creating long-term value over quick wins. He believes that you can achieve sustainable success by combining smart strategies with a focus on people and purpose. With years of experience in scaling businesses and managing investments, Gabe brings practical insights for entrepreneurs looking to build a lasting impact.

    Key Insights:

    • Stop trading time for money. Focus on building assets, systems, or businesses that generate long-term value, rather than relying solely on hourly or transactional income.
    • Only chase opportunities that create real value. Avoid falling victim to “FOMO.” Instead, focus on preserving your resources and reinvesting in areas that align with your long-term goals.
    • Let your team own their work. Nurture a workplace culture where employees are trusted to take ownership of their work, make mistakes, and learn from them—leading to innovation and growth.
    • Have a framework for decisions. Create a decision-making process that prioritizes expertise, aligns with your vision, and focuses on long-term impact. This keeps you on track and avoids distractions.
    • Define success on your terms. Success isn’t just about meeting short-term revenue goals—it’s about creating something sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with your broader vision. By focusing on the long-term, you can create a foundation that supports growth, resilience, and purpose, ensuring your business thrives well into the future.


    Gabe's best advice for entrepreneurs:

    Move beyond the need to deploy capital and into a conversation about how do you make sure this capital or some appreciated version of this capital exists a hundred years from now.


    Let’s work together

    As an entrepreneur, I know the challenge of balancing immediate goals with long-term growth. That’s why I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs like you build businesses that last. Let’s work together to implement strategies that align with Gabe’s approach. Schedule a 15-minute chat today.
