    E99: How to Build Your Own Business with Brian Scudamore

    E99: How to Build Your Own Business with Brian Scudamore

    About Brian:

    Serial entrepreneur and author Brian Scudamore has always taken the road less travelled. At just 19 years old, he pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, turning a chore people avoid into an exceptional customer service experience. Then he scaled that success into two more home-service brands, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine, under the O2E Brands banner.



    Brian learned the ins and outs of business by running his own, and believes that anyone with a fire in their gut and a vision for doing something incredible can do the same. His philosophy, WTF (Willing To Fail), stems from his belief in the power of dreaming big, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. Through franchising, he’s giving thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to BYOB (Build Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss), and live their dream of business ownership.

    E98: How to Lead with Influence with Jake Havron

    E98: How to Lead with Influence with Jake Havron

    About Jake:

    From being a nurse just over 5 years ago to now a widely accredited transformational speaker and business strategist, Jake is creating raving fans of the people and audiences he works with. Organizations such as GoBundance, 787 Coffee Co., 180 Elevate Nonprofit, MentorBox, and Real Estate team doing $300M – $1.6B in annual revenue have brought Jake in to help their people become more influential in sales and leadership.

    Alongside him is his beloved, Emily Ford, who is also a force for GOOD with her speaking career for 10+ years. Both of them have lead by example in their lives together through their relationship, speaking on stages back-to-back, co-leading the ITfactor Mentorship Program, each hosting their own show {The Influence Effect & The ITfactor Show}, and most importantly to them, is living a life in alignment with God and His truth.

    Jake knows they are on this Earth for a very significant purpose and it’s helping to end mediocrity living that people are experiencing. He knows that there is nothing more unfulfilling than living a life where either you have been conditioned to dim your light in this world or don’t even know how bright your light can shine. That’s what leading with influence is all about. Influencing others to be a brighter light in the world that can be seen on a hilltop and live an extraordinary life on your terms.

    In this episode we discuss:


    Jake's Upbringing in Hawaii
    Being bullied for being a chubby kid
    A summer comeback
    Getting into fitness

    And much, much more!

    Since opening Cali BBQ in 2008, his family-run restaurant and media company in San Diego has generated more than $30 million in sales.

    E96: From Lawyer to Master Certified Professional Coach for Moms with Melissa Wiggins

    E96: From Lawyer to Master Certified Professional Coach for Moms with Melissa Wiggins

    Melissa Wiggins, aka Coach Mummabear, is a fiery Scottish lassie and lawyer turned Master Certified Professional Coach. She has a thriving podcast, has spoken on stages across the globe and has already penned her first book. At 38, she claims the warm up is over and she is pouring into as many lassies as she can. 

     When her firstborn was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer as she was about to give birth to her twin boys, her full-time calling became saving her son’s life. Shortly after, Melissa along with her husband created a foundation for pediatric cancer research. 

    Their foundation has since raised millions of dollars. Melissa ended up burning out during her reign as CEO and has taken those teachings and turned them into learnings for you. She has created her own tools and now shares them ALL within EMPOWERED.Life, her 6 month coaching program. 

    Melissa made over 6 figures in her first year as a coach and deeply believes that money is freedom. As a Mum of 5 - via step, biological and adoption - Coach Mummabear claims you can be a fun mum and have a thriving career without burning out: her mission in life is to empower women to do the same.

    Thanks for listening to the show!
