    Scaling a $100M+ Beverage Brand in an Industry Few Survive with Aaron Hinde

    Starting a business is hard. Starting a beverage company is almost impossible. With a 95% failure rate in year one and 99% by year five, most founders never make it out alive. That's what makes Aaron Hinde's story so compelling. As the Co-Founder of FITAID, a clean-ingredient beverage brand now valued north of $100M, he's navigated a landscape that destroys nearly everyone who steps into it. In our conversation, Aaron breaks down the truth behind building in one of the harshest categories in consumer goods, from the retail relationships that quietly drain millions to the dozens of moments his company nearly went bust.  If you're building a brand, scaling a team, entering a competitive market, or simply trying to figure out how to keep going when the pressure of entrepreneurship hits, this episode will reframe what's possible.      Key Takeaways with Aaron Hinde 00:00 Intro 01:40 The Hidden Retail Fees That Kill Beverage Brands 05:09 The Most Important Metric Beverage Founders Should Track 07:56 The Real Differentiator Behind FITAID Energy Drinks 10:34 "Clean" Energy Brands That Aren't Actually Clean 12:16 Deciding When to Launch (or Kill) a Product Line 17:13 Why Entrepreneurship Isn't for Most People 21:12 Dean Jackson's Framework for Defining Success 24:01 Resourcefulness, Persuasion, and Relationships at Work 31:29 How to Save Your Company When the Market Collapses 35:36 How Great Leaders Keep Their Teams Aligned 38:59 Facing Your Blind Spots As a Leader 45:24 The Non-Negotiable That Would Kill a $500M Offer 48:28 What He'd Do Differently If He Started Again 52:06 The Freedom That Comes From Dropping the Mask 53:39 Aaron's Advice for New Entrepreneurs     Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wSrXlTixjCc      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

    Two Habits That Separate True Entrepreneurs From Hustlers

    "If Apple CEO Tim Cook needs a board of directors to help him make decisions, what makes you think you can do it all by yourself?"  That's the question Brian Will – serial entrepreneur with multiple exits under his belt – poses in this clip from Beyond A Million.  Brian explains why letting go of ego makes it easier to grow your business. He talks about how financial stability helps you become less reactive, more collaborative, and why failing without learning is just wasting time. If you've been stuck in perfectionism, control, or thinking you need (or worse – have) all the answers, this one is to remind you that the best leaders listen more than they talk. Enjoyed this clip?

    203: The YouTube Lead Gen Strategy Behind a Multi-7-Figure Business with Colin Shipp

    Collin Ship built his YouTube channel for one purpose: drive qualified leads into his business. He wasn't trying to grow an audience or chase viral moments. He wanted a predictable system that pointed people toward his offer. And it proved how effective a small channel can be when it's built the right way. Collin took an "unsexy" niche (blogging) and paired it with a search-driven YouTube strategy built entirely around keywords, intent, and simple videos that matched what people were actually looking for. That combination led to a multi-7-figure business powered by steady, targeted traffic. In this episode, Collin breaks down the framework that fueled early traction, the surprising advantage YouTube gives new creators that Google doesn't, and why staying niche made sponsorships and affiliate deals far more lucrative.    Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 01:22 Blogging Isn't Dead - $1.2M in 18 Months 05:23 Why Personal Branding Holds You Accountable 09:56 Using YouTube Strictly for Lead Generation 12:35 YouTube Keyword Strategy That Drove Early Growth 15:17 Does Going Broad on YouTube Hurt Lead Quality? 17:47 YouTube Publishing Frequency – The Sweet Spot 18:18 Why Long YouTube Videos Build Massive Trust 19:11 Make Your Free Content Better Than Paid 19:46 The Four Pillars of YouTube Monetization 21:35 YouTube Channels That Land Affiliates & Sponsors 26:19 Intent vs. Interruption Content Marketing 27:12 Using Paid Ads AND Organic Content to Scale 28:16 How to Run YouTube Ads Without Being Punished 31:20 Getting 6,000+ Leads per Month From YouTube 32:45 The Pros/Cons of Becoming Internet Famous 34:12 Where AI Fits in Your Content System 39:54 The Biggest Mistake People Make with AI 40:49 How He Revived His Offer With an AI Rebrand   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/li6jI6YsT3A   Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

He's just explaining what's worked over 20 years of doing deals – and why more investors are starting to take notice. If you've ever wondered where real estate actually holds up long-term, this is a good place to start. Enjoyed this clip? Check out our full interview with Brad: https://youtu.be/l1NP4NWlcLw

    Culture Fit vs. Skill Set – What to Look for First

    In this clip, David Hassell, co-founder of 15Five, breaks down why hiring someone who's not aligned with your culture – even if they check every box on the skills side – is a ticking time bomb.  He shares how culture shapes behavior more than we think, why execs especially need to embody company values, and how even small misalignments can kill trust inside a team.  He also talks about the mistakes they made scaling from 70 to 200 people in a year and how those lessons led to a values-first hiring system every founder should be thinking about.
