    S2 E4 Create the Clarity You Need to Build - Robert Mallon

    Patrick and Will are joined in this episode by executive coach Robert Mallon. Robert shares the lessons he's learned from more than two decades of coaching business owners and leaders. After starting his career in the restaurant industry and experiencing the uncertainty of companies shutting down, Robert found himself at a crossroads. A mentor helped him see something he couldn't see himself: his real gift was helping people grow. That realization launched a 23-year journey as an executive coach and advisor. Robert explains why most entrepreneurs don't fail because of bad ideas—they fail because of a lack of clarity, structure, and accountability. Through stories from his coaching work and practical examples from clients building businesses today, he breaks down the systems he uses to help founders focus: clear priorities every 90 days, disciplined time management, and the power of having someone who will ask the hard questions.

    S2 E3 Never Split the Difference

    Don't compromise. Discover and learn about the other person. Get what you actually want. Simple. Negotiations don't just happen for big deals or hostage situations. We all engage in negotiations every day. Patrick and Will share their takeaways from Chris Voss' book: Never Split the Difference. Chris has written the most practical book on knowing what you want, discovering what the other party wants, and negotiating to get everything you want. It sounds audacious, maybe even selfish. It's not either. Finally, Dillon Simpson joins to share how he has applied this in running his electrical company.

    S2 E2 Jajeh Financial

    In this conversation, Patrick shares his decade-plus journey building accounting services, building up his coffee shop Tchin Tchin's and their razor-thin margins, and the moment he chose to be an entrepreneur and who helped him get there. Intent has to be tied to action. We all want to eat the cake, but few want to take to the time or make the sacrifice to get into that kitchen and bake what your heart desires.

    S1 E22 Round 3: What did they say?

    This is a show for people like you who are building their ideas. This is our third round of recapping conversations with four previous guests. It's a plug for those interviews, and if you hear something that strikes your fancy, go check out the full interview. Today we spotlight: Josh Schairbaum, Sandeep Misra, Elizabeth Yarbrough, and Danielle Laughlin. I am thrilled that Andrew Rahrig joins us for this recap. Andrew is an entrepreneur himself and runs a cocktail company called Nightcap Social in Tampa, FL. His wife is also an entrepreneur and runs an interior decorating company called Freshly Minted Living. So Andrew shares his perspective both as a builder and as a champion of what his wife is building. He does all this while raising two beautiful kids. Regardless of the phase you find yourself in - whether imagining what you want to build or iterating on that idea - you'll pick up tips and inspiration in this conversation.

    S1 E21 Danielle Laughlin

    Danielle's passion is to eliminate "entrepreneurial poverty". She does this through her law practice at Sage Business Counsel, where she works with founders and business owners in planning and navigating the complexities of running a business. Danielle grew up in rural Alabama, worked her way through law school as a single mother, helped her dad navigate bankruptcy for his business, and finally decided to launch out on her own to start her own practice. This is a story of grit, determination, and a healthy dose of optimism. Hope you enjoy this slice of BusinessCake!

    S1 E20 Innovation, Lines in the Sand, and Santa Anna

    Patrick and Will dive into the stories and symbols behind both innovation and commitment — from the invention of the potato chip to the legendary line in the sand at the Alamo. Join us as we explore how moments of decision, motivation (even spite!), and character shape not just history, but the way we build our businesses and lead our lives. Whether you're an entrepreneur or just love a good story, this will get you thinking about what it really means to commit and will encourage you to keep going in your own journey as you build your ideas.

    S1 E19 Congruity & Cool Tools

    What do you want to hear more about? What are helpful tools you are missing or want to learn more about? Join Patrick and Will as they talk about what is on the horizon and argue over who has the best analogies. They unpack how culture is shaped not by what's written on the wall, but by the daily decisions, conversations, and values that drive your business forward.
