My book, The Sweaty Startup is out TODAY.

I worked on it for 18 months.

It is the how-to business guide I wish I had in my hands when I was in the midst of building my first business.

Most business books have 2-3 gold nuggets in the entire book. My goal was to write a book with 2-3 gold nuggets per page. It's short, concise, and to the point.

It is the ultimate guide on how to pick a business idea, how to grow that business and how to out-operate the competition. Sales, management, hiring, delegation and more. I tell 30+ stories I've never told before from my own experiences and folks in my network on how to get rich.

I'm hosting a live book signing in Athens on May 8th at 6pm at Barnes and Noble. RSVP here. Beers on me afterwards at Mel's.

I read the audiobook myself - let me know how I did!

1 book = 1 year access to my small business community with other readers of this book ($25 / mo value)

What top talent wants from a job

I spend a lot of time asking my high performing friends what frustrates them about their work environments. What do you dislike about your boss? What drives you crazy and causes stress at work? What makes you feel unproductive? These conversations have taught me a lot about what to do and even more about what not to do. And I’ve used these insights to design a place where high performing employees want to work. As a result, I have very little turnover. I’ve created compensation plans to keep...

Why you need to get started in 2026!

Entrepreneurship changed my life for the better. 20 years ago I started my journey by getting behind a lawn mower to cut grass for clients in Tell City, Indiana. I made around $40/hour while my friends worked at Subway for $7/hour when I was 15. Over the last 20 years, I started a pickup and delivery student storage business with my best friend Dan. We scaled to dozens of colleges across multiple states handling 10s of thousands of boxes for our customers. We sold that business for a modest...
