  • I understand you need to monetize the podcast, and I respect that.

    But lately the balance feels way off — it honestly sounds like 70% ads and only 30% real content. The constant and lengthy ad segments are overwhelming and make it hard to stay engaged.

    I’m saying this as someone who genuinely enjoys the show. But if this doesn’t change and the ad load stays this heavy, I’ll probably stop listening.

  • Good content, annoying ads

    Great quick tips. But like 50% of the entire thing is ads. Super disappointing money grab :(

  • Too many ads

    It could be way better if they didn’t have that many ads on very short episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 3357 - Q&A: “How can I get paid to help resellers?”
Q: Am I crazy? How would you suggest I do this?
Start by validating the idea with small tests, identify the most in-demand items and the markets that need them, assess whether you can source these goods more efficiently than resellers can on their own, and build a simple process to connect suppliers with buyers, then scale based on reliability and value delivered.
Ep. 3357 - Q&A: “How can I get paid to help resellers?”
Q: What if I don't want to resell my stuff, at least not right now, but find some way I can help resellers source products?
You could scout for popular items and then offer them to resellers, leveraging a network and market insights to do the matching, while taking a share for your effort; the key is proving a reliable pipeline and a clear competitive edge that influencers or platforms don't already provide.
Ep. 3357 - Q&A: “How can I get paid to help resellers?”
Q: My question is, how can I help resellers?
Think about what resellers need—sources of goods, markets, and tools to streamline the process—and consider a role that adds value by sourcing items and connecting them with buyers, potentially taking a percentage. It's about finding a practical niche where you can offer a reliable supply and a faster path to inventory.
Ep. 3360 - Q&A: “How to start a meal prep side hustle?”
Q: Do you have any suggestions for what direction I could take with this, and also any advice on getting started?
The host advises reframing the idea as athlete-friendly meal prep with a paid weekly prep kit, a short high-touch four-week cohort, clear pricing, and a rapid pilot launch to validate demand.
Ep. 3353 - Q&A: “One-page business plan: what is the essential info?”
Q: What is the most essential info in a short business plan?
The host explains that core questions—what you will sell, who will buy, the pricing and how the buyer will pay—capture the essence of the business and allow you to move forward without committing to lengthy detail.
