    15. How to Show Up Strong for a Business Loan - with John Ward.
    2025/07/22
    Today, Sean sits down with John Ward, co-founder of CapitalPro Partners, to discuss the intricacies of financing for early-stage entrepreneurs. John shares his journey from the medical and banking industries to becoming a durable entrepreneur himself, emphasiszing the importance of understanding credit and the challenges business owners face when seeking financing. He provides valuable insights on how entrepreneurs can better position themselves to attract lenders, the unique advantages of SBA loans, and the significance of tracking key financial metrics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Early-stage entrepreneurs often struggle with access to capital, which is crucial for cash flow, operations, and growth. It's essential for them to recognise their financing needs and prepare accordingly. Lenders prioritise the industry experience of business owners when considering loan applications. A strong background in the relevant field can significantly enhance the chances of securing financing. The Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are often more accessible for startups compared to conventional loans, as they are designed to support small businesses and stimulate economic growth. Entrepreneurs should come prepared with a comprehensive personal financial statement, clear projections, and a well-thought-out business plan. This preparation not only aids in securing loans but also provides valuable insights into the business's financial health. Working with a loan broker or consultant can provide entrepreneurs with strategic guidance on financing options, helping them navigate the complexities of securing capital and ensuring they are well-prepared for lender expectations. BEST MOMENTS "I think that for me, it was a little bit more situational. It was more me trying to create something myself and being in control of my own path." "What really comes down to for any lender is to say, 'Hey, you know, they're all about assessing the risk.'" "You want to have your line of credit kind of sit on the sideline. It can help them with working capital, whether they're having cash flow crunches." "You don't want to be at a place where, gosh, you can't take on more business right now because I just don't have any money." "You want to see the optimism and the enthusiasm to get after it."

    14. Preparing Your Team to Grow with You - with Tony Moore, The Culture Architect.
    2025/07/15
    In this episode of Durable Entrepreneurs, Sean sits down with Tony Moore, also known as the "culture architect," to discuss the critical importance of developing leadership within organisations. Tony shares his journey from a stable corporate career to becoming a successful entrepreneur, driven by a desire to impact more people. He acknowledges the common pitfalls of promoting leaders without adequate preparation and the need for a culture of radical ownership. KEY TAKEAWAYS As individuals move up the leadership ladder, they must recognise that their priorities, time allocation, and required skills change significantly. Understanding these shifts is crucial for effective leadership. When building a team, especially in early-stage startups, it's essential to hire individuals not only for their current competencies but also for their character traits and potential for growth. This approach ensures that team members can develop alongside the organisation. Establishing a culture of radical ownership within an organisation empowers leaders to delegate effectively and encourages team members to take initiative, leading to a more engaged and productive workforce. Organisations should implement coaching and development systems that prepare leaders for their new roles. This includes identifying the root causes of performance issues and providing the necessary training and support to help leaders succeed. It's vital for leaders to understand how their success will be measured in their new roles. Clear metrics and expectations help align their focus and ensure they are working towards the organisation's goals effectively. BEST MOMENTS "Working in an organisation is like addition. Being an entrepreneur is like doing multiplication. I felt like I had an opportunity to multiply impact in the lives of leaders." "It seems like one of the paths to get where you need to go is to hire people that you see have the potential to develop as the company grows." "What we need in this position five years from now is not what I possess. We should be developing leaders for the future." "The failure to hire with character in mind means we’re not thinking about what kind of people we want on our team." "If you can create a culture of leaders, then that just rolls uphill to the people at the top of the organisation."

    13.Building a Powerful Business Network - with Tiffany Anderson
    2025/07/08
    Today, Sean engages in a discussion with Tiffany Anderson, a community engagement strategist and networking expert, focusing on the art of effective networking for early-stage entrepreneurs. Tiffany shares valuable insights on how to approach networking with a strategic mindset, emphasising the importance of building genuine connections rather than merely transactional interactions. She discusses the significance of preparation before attending networking events, the power of shared values in fostering relationships, and the concept of leaving a positive "echo" that enhances one's personal brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS Simply showing up to networking events is not enough. Entrepreneurs need to approach networking with a clear strategy, treating it with the same importance as other business activities. Successful networking is about making meaningful connections rather than just transactional interactions. Establishing rapport and shared values can lead to long-term relationships that benefit both parties. Before attending an event, do your research on the organisation and its members. Prepare a few key points about yourself and questions to engage others, which can help ease nerves and facilitate conversations. The impression you leave on others is crucial. Your reputation and the way people talk about you after the event can significantly impact your networking success. Aim to create a positive echo that resonates beyond the initial meeting. Not every connection will be an ideal fit, but every interaction can lead to new opportunities. If a conversation doesn’t align with your current goals, consider how you can connect that person with someone else in your network, keeping the door open for future possibilities. BEST MOMENTS "Showing up is no longer the end goal. Showing up is step one in a list of best practices." "It's not about only the people in the room. It's about every single person that they're connected to." "If you don't know what your values are as a business, you need to start there." "The echo that you leave behind, and the way that people talk about you, matters." "If you're treating networking like an extra thing, that's exactly what it's going to be."
