business startup

You know that feeling when you get to hang out with a friend that fills your cup? And y'all could be just chillin' yet you're still having a major blast? Well today we get to hear from one of those people.

Trent Howard is a friend, a business owner, and he stood next to me in my wedding. Just like the X-Men, Trent has a super power of his own - community. With a background in petroleum engineering, he decided to take his talents away from the sure-fire financial security of sitting on some oil rig in Oklahoma and move with six friends to the busy metropolis of DFW.

Together, he, Carson Kidd, and Joel Agimudie began building a business, now known as Moravian Coffee. Moravian is a coffee roastery that connects people around the world with specialty coffee. If you're familiar with the podcast, you know that I love CONNECTION.

Connection is the beginning of opportunity, and opportunity creates connection. 

In this episode, expect to hear: 

• why young adults often move away from friends
• how a lucrative job can sometimes derail our life goals
• about a helpful framework to navigate conflict
• when Trent decided to drop the cheddar and build a business
• what it's like to be an entrepreneur with your best friends
• the main reasons why people choose to live away from community
• whether being a good friend helps you with being a husband/wife
• the story of how we first met and the oddball nature of it
• when prioritizing community can elevate your entrepreneurial pursuit

This is the first IN-PERSON conversation of 2024! It was an orchestra of fun. I'm counting each minute as a blessing and I'm excited to see what other conversations are in store for this year. Thanks for following along!

In today's episode Griffin discusses how every time he has figured out what he needs to do to grow his business, he has almost always underestimated how long, how much money, etc. that it would take to actually achieve the expected result. That is what we dive into today. If you want massive results in your business, you must put in massive inputs regardless of what the expected output (result) may be.

When Jonathan Baktari, MD was arguably at the peak of his medical career, he saw an opportunity to try something new. Taking everything he’d learned as a doctor, medical director, and educator, he launched two businesses—a vaccine clinic and drug-testing enterprise—that are driven by technology and designed for fast, customer-centric service. Now, as those businesses grow, he’s continuing to write his second career chapter as a health care CEO. Learn more by visiting his website or company websites linked above.

In this episode, I talk about a stratgey I use when determining which goals are the ones I should be focused on the most right now.

I think that most people would agree that the people who have goals are more successful than those who do not have any. I often talk about leadership and management. Leadership is about doing the right things, while management is about doing things right. Often when we study time management, we study efficiency (doing things right) and make the assumption that we have the effectiveness (leadership) solved.

The first step in any time management system should be to work on goals and as such, I use the following 60 Minute Goal Setting Exercise. An hour spent clarifying your goals can save you hundreds of hours in achieving them!

In this solo episode, I talk about 3 tactics you can use to help customers make that purchase!

Getting a new customer to buy from you is a little bit like going on a first date; You're not going to present the engagement ring on

your first date! There's a two-way relationship that grows one step at a time before it leads to the first purchase (or the church doors). You can't rush it... you can't skip it... but if done right, it will lead to a life-long relationship for you and the customer!

In this episode, I chat with Tony Kitchens, from Atlanta, Georgia.

Tony Kitchens is an author, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He has experienced highs and lows in both his personal life and  business. Tony believes that everyone can change their perspective on fear, pain and challenges and use them as fuel to create an amazing life.

Tony's businesses have generated more than $100 million in revenue and serviced the largest multi-national corporations in the world. He is on a mission to help as many people around the world by sharing my wisdom.

Tony & I chat about how owning and operating a business requires dedication, determination, persistence, hard work and faith, and how you must be willing to set out on the journey and take a leap of faith in order to realize them.

Tony's message to those interested in business and entrepreneurship is to ignore much of what you see on social media. Connect with people who have built real businesses, managed payrolls, employed hundreds of W2 workers and who have failed, gotten up and tried again.
