    You're Not Too Busy. You're Scared. | Ep. 118

    What if the thing standing between you and your next move isn't your schedule... it's your fear? In this episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin get brutally honest about the lie entrepreneurs tell themselves most: "I don't have time."

What you will learn in this episode: How to call out your own excuses before they keep you stuck How to build a simple, repeatable system that makes showing up easy How to figure out what your audience actually wants from your content How to use a "three-minute action" framework to create momentum fast How to choose the right creative outlet for your thought leadership Questions answered: Why do so many entrepreneurs struggle to start things they recommend to others? What's the difference between perfectionism and genuine quality control? How do you build a newsletter without overcomplicating the process? Should every business owner have a newsletter?

    Building a Business by Accident | Ep. 115

    What if the next business you should build is already asking to be built through you? In this episode, Ethan and Justin discuss how some of the most successful ventures aren’t born from detailed plans, but from repeated signals. Ethan shares how his AI-focused speaking and workshops unexpectedly evolved into a thriving agency—not because he chased it, but because the demand wouldn’t stop knocking. Together, they examine the patterns in Ethan’s entrepreneurial journey, from his first e-commerce business to his latest venture. They also look at business history, including how an industry-leading product like Kingsford Charcoal was born as a byproduct of car manufacturing. The episode challenges the myth that you need a perfect vision to build something great and offers a framework for spotting the difference between distractions and true opportunities. What you will learn in this episode: How to recognize patterns that point toward your next business move How to spot the difference between a shiny object and a real opportunity How to uncover the hidden value in your business’s byproducts How to validate a new business idea without chasing every request How to apply the ELF principle: easy, lucrative, and fun Questions answered: How do you know when to lean into a new business model? What does it mean when the same client request keeps showing up? Can you build something valuable without planning for it? How do you align passion, demand, and business strategy?

    “New Year, New Me” Is B.S. Here’s What Actually Works | Ep. 114

    Every January, people promise to become someone else. New habits. New identity. Clean slate. And yet, a few weeks in, the momentum fades and the familiar frustration creeps back in. In this conversation, Ethan and Justin question whether the way most people approach change is fundamentally flawed. They explore why big declarations feel powerful in the moment but quietly create pressure, why all-or-nothing thinking shows up in business and life more than we realize, and how subtle shifts can produce outcomes that dramatic overhauls rarely do. This episode is not about resolutions. It is about how change actually happens when life is unpredictable, schedules get disrupted, and perfection is impossible. If you have ever felt like you started strong and still came up short, this conversation may reframe how you think about progress altogether. What you will learn in this episode: How to rethink change without starting over How to avoid the hidden traps of all-or-nothing thinking How to make adjustments when life does not cooperate How progress can build without drastic reinvention How small decisions compound in business and life Questions answered: Why does “New Year, New Me” keep failing people? What makes change feel overwhelming so quickly? How do you move forward without burning out? What happens when goals are too rigid? How can you stay consistent when conditions change?
