    How a Twenty-Something Entrepreneur Landed 35% Equity | Episode 68

    When her business partner asked how he should pay her, AnnaMarie Davis said she didn't want  an hourly rate. She wanted equity. She was a college student who had been working in his studio  for months, had never been paid a dollar, and didn't entirely know what equity meant. She ended  up with 35%. AnnaMarie Davis is a partner at Audio and Recording, a commercial recording studio in Salt Lake  City. She got there through competitive dance, door-to-door solar sales, two shipping containers  she bought and returned, an investor dinner she walked into not knowing what an investor was,  and a 2.5-hour phone call with a stranger named Eric. She is in her 20s. What she covers: → Age 12: dad lost his job, dance was too expensive — so she walked into the studio owner's office and negotiated her own free tuition by teaching tap and ballet and cleaning every studio after hours, without telling her parents → Knocking doors in Utah selling solar at 18, offering Girl Scout cookies as part of her pitch (she actually bought them) → Buying two shipping containers for $6,000 to build a DIY recording studio — then discovering that soundproofing and equipment would cost a fortune → Getting the prompting: "Don't bury your talents and don't let your friends bury theirs" — and realizing the music world was full of audio engineers who couldn't get jobs and artists who couldn't afford studios → A little girl at a dance recital, a dad who ran investor dinners, and the chain reaction that changed everything → Walking into Tyler Jennings' investor dinner, saying "I have no idea how to do this" — and getting put in 10 group chats and invited to four more lunches → A 2.5-hour first phone call with her future business partner Eric, not even remembering he owned a studio → Working in Eric's studio for three months for free before he offered to pay her — and saying no, she wanted equity instead → Earning equity benchmarks tied to revenue milestones, working her way to 35% ownership while still dancing at BYU → Vibe coding a custom booking system because no good scheduling software exists for music studios → Monthly jam sessions — poets, musicians, audiobook narrators, a random violinist, and one unforgettable rendition of Don't Stop Believin' — as the free event that drove all their word-of-mouth → Big artists signing the wall behind a mirror (so the signatures exist but can't be posted anywhere) — and the time she had a full conversation with a major artist and didn't know who he was until after 🔗 CONNECT WITH STU Instagram: @stu Website: https://startupswithstu.com 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro and growing up with four older brothers 02:30 – Age 12: dad loses his job, dance is too expensive, AnnaMarie negotiates her own tuition 06:00 – Dad stops being a lawyer and becomes an entrepreneur — what watching that taught her 09:30 – High school deal: get your associates, parents pay for everything; graduate, you're on your own 12:00 – Door-to-door solar sales at 18 with Girl Scout cookies as backup 15:30 – BYU, competitive dance, declaring entrepreneurship as a major on a whim 19:00 – The prompting: don't bury your talents, don't let your friends bury theirs 22:30 – Two shipping containers, $6,000, and the moment she realized she had no idea what she was doing 26:00 – The little girl at the recital, Tyler Jennings, and the investor dinner 30:00 – Walking in with nothing but a dream — and getting 10 group chats and four follow-up lunches 34:00 – The 2.5-hour first call with Eric Low, her future business partner 38:00 – Three months working for free, then: "Do you want me to pay you?" — "No, I want equity." 42:00 – Earning her way to 35% through revenue benchmarks 45:00 – Vibe coding a custom booking system and building word-of-mouth through jam sessions 49:00 – Big artists, hidden signatures, and the celebrity conversation she didn't know she was having 52:30 – Advice for aspiring college-age entrepreneurs #entrepreneur #startups #founderstory #youngentrepreneur #recordingstudio #musicbusiness #womeninbusiness #saltlakecity #collegeentrepreneur #audioengineering

    Building More Than a Startup: Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be | Episode 63

    She showed up to a city she'd never been to, knew exactly one person, talked 30 restaurants into joining her event, went on live TV twice, and then coded a backup solution by herself two hours before the launch party when her developer bailed. The app didn't grow the way she wanted. She didn't quit. Lee Balcomb is the founder of Healthy Anywhere — a hyper-curated restaurant app that functions like having a holistic nutritionist, food writer, and data analyst on call, helping health-conscious travelers find meals that actually match their standards. She's been building it full-time since 2018, and the original idea? That came to her in January 2003. What she covers: → Growing up in Montgomery, Alabama on Little Caesars pizza, two-liter Cokes, and Krispy Kreme crullers — and being bloated and foggy as a kid because of it → Moving to California in her 20s and discovering vegetables that come from the ground, not cans — and never feeling better → Getting stranded in a barren Philadelphia apartment at 1am with nothing to eat — the exact moment in January 2003 that sparked the entire business → Locking herself in the house before a trip to Spain just to build a 78-restaurant spreadsheet with 14 columns covering wild fish, organic veggies, leafy greens, and healthy fats → Quitting a job she loved in 2018 after private equity bought the company and killed the culture — and needing six months just to decompress before she could build → Reading 60 books in a year, getting a holistic nutrition certification, and completing sustainable food systems studies at UC Berkeley to earn the "street cred" to build the scoring system → Nearly blowing up the entire pipeline by bringing on an AI contractor who quietly wrecked the data — and not discovering how bad it was until weeks later → Organizing the CEO's Healthy Week in Colorado Springs — a city she'd never visited — getting 30 restaurants to participate and over $2,000 in prizes, only to have her developer bail four days before launch → Coding her own QR/PHP solution solo until two hours before the launch party just so the event could run → Going on live TV twice, getting customers to drive down from Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins — and hearing from a woman who attended five restaurants in one weekend: "Who do you need? Because imagine what you could do with support." → The advice from an 84-year-old Silicon Valley angel investor: "No matter what happens, this is already been a phenomenal success." → Why she's bootstrapping and hasn't raised money — and why she believes she has to earn the right to keep building first → "It's not what I'm building. Ultimately, it's who I am becoming." 🔗 CONNECT WITH STU Instagram: @stu Website: https://startupswithstu.com 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro + How Lee and Stu connected at Laguna Beach [~02:00] – What is the Healthy Anywhere app?

    He Built a Self-Cleaning Toilet Seat… And Raised $1M | Episode 62

    Rob Polecki was an elected official in Idaho when he took his 4-year-old son into a dirty airport bathroom and couldn't find a single hands-free way to clean the toilet seat. Everything else in the restroom was touchless. Just not the part that mattered most. That moment in 2015 turned into Washi — a self-sanitizing commercial toilet seat Rob has been building, bootstrapping, and fighting for ever since. He cashed out $100K+ from his government 401K, raised over $1M from angels one check at a time, made it to the final round of Shark Tank, spent a year in licensing talks with Georgia Pacific (only to get ghosted), and is now launching a home version via Kickstarter in May 2026. What he covers: → Taking his 4-year-old to a dirty Salt Lake City airport bathroom — and walking out with a business idea → Carrying a toilet bowl through the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas to audition for Shark Tank → Making it to the final round of Shark Tank before getting cut — and why he calls it the best thing that happened to him → Cashing out over $100K from his government 401K to go all-in on the company → Spending an entire year in engineering discussions with Georgia Pacific (the largest restroom company in the US), only to be told "go launch it yourself and we'll buy it later" → Raising $500K in a friends-and-family round from Pocatello, Idaho, then going angel by angel for $50K–$200K at a time → Firing his internal sales team and switching to distributors after years of slow B2B cycles → Landing Delta Sky Clubs, major gas station chains in the Midwest, and convention centers in the South → Why airports in Wyoming took 9 months from first meeting to closed deal → Launching the home version of Washi with a Kickstarter in May 2026 — and why B2C changes everything → What James Dyson's story meant to him every time he almost quit → Why having other people's money in the company means there's no Plan B 🔗 CONNECT WITH STU Instagram: @stu Website: https://startupswithstu.com #entrepreneur #startups #founderstory #sharktank #bootstrapped #hardwareStartup #invention #washi #toiletseat #startupswithstu

    They Almost Went Broke… Then Built a $31M Business | Episode 61

    The franchising consultant they paid $100,000 to get their paperwork done turned out to be embezzling money and having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. The company collapsed. Eight months of work, gone. The other four companies they'd been working with also went under. Adam Newman's response was to keep going — and eventually sell for $31 million. Adam Newman is the co-founder of Monkey Bar Storage (originally Gorgeous Garage), a garage organization company his father Jared started in a two-car garage in Boise with a shelf he welded himself. Adam built it into a 120-location dealer network, hit $31M in revenue the year they sold, and walked away with an eight-figure exit. He sat down with Stu at a live Startups with Stu retreat near Yellowstone National Park to break down exactly how they did it. What he covers: → Jared Newman building the first shelf system to organize his own garage — then a neighbor's backyard party of 20+ employees accidentally becoming their first marketing campaign → Year 1 revenue of $46,000 with $48,000 in costs — and how a year's worth of severance pay kept the lights on → Doubling revenue three years in a row without a single dollar of advertising, purely on word of mouth → Taking out a $25,000 SBA loan (with two old pickup trucks and two laptops as their only assets) to start a Salt Lake City dealership — and doing $160,000 in their first partial year → Getting robbed by a franchise consultant who embezzled $100,000 of their money, then being saved by the president of the national franchising association — who flew out privately to Rexburg to meet with them → How a single sales rep named Reg Allen took them from 8 locations to 47 locations in two years → Taking over every dealer's website, marketing, photography, and content — and why that made dealers never want to leave → Designing their own overhead rack system by putting Jared "in a box" with tight parameters — and beating competitors on dimensional shipping weight to cut costs → Growing the Amazon and third-party marketplace channel from 1 unit sold to a $1 million annual channel in two years → Adding a cabinet line after one dealer proved it doubled ticket prices from $2–4K to $9–10K → Revenue milestones: $5M (2010/11), $9M (2012), $16M (2015/16), $24M (2019), $31M the year they sold → The secret sauce: what Jared did at every install that made customers remember him — not the product — and how it became a systemized revenue driver across 120 locations 🔗 CONNECT WITH STU Instagram: @stu Website: https://startupswithstu.com 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro: Adam Newman and how he met Stu 21 years ago 04:00 – Jared Newman: farm kid, welder, and the shelf he built to organize his own garage 09:00 – Year 1: $46K revenue, $48K costs, and the backyard party that changed everything 14:00 – Three years of doubling with zero advertising — and the numbers that convinced Adam to go all in 19:00 – The $25K SBA loan, the Salt Lake dealership, and $160K in the first partial year 24:00 – Expanding to four locations, the 2007 housing crash, and the franchising question 29:00 – The $100K franchise consultant who embezzled everything — and the national president who flew to Rexburg to help 35:00 – Building the dealer model: from loose and chaotic to 120 locations with full marketing control 40:00 – Reg Allen: the sales rep who sold 20 dealerships in year one, then 47 in year two 44:00 – Designing their own overhead rack by boxing Jared in with impossible constraints 49:00 – The $1 million Amazon channel, the cabinet line, and doubling average ticket price 54:00 – Revenue timeline: $5M to $31M and the eight-figure exit 58:00 – The secret sauce: what Jared did at every install that no competitor thought to copy #entrepreneur #startups #founderstory #exitstrategy #dealermodel #garagebusiness #smallbusiness #ecommerce #franchising #8figureexit
