Episodes
Marketing on a Budget: Guerrilla Tactics That Work
You don’t need a massive budget to make a massive impact. In this episode, we dive into the world of guerrilla marketing. The scrappy, creative, and often unexpected strategies that drive real results without breaking the bank.
We’ll break down how smart entrepreneurs use storytelling, community, partnerships, and out-of-the-box ideas to grab attention, build brand momentum, and outshine bigger competitors. You’ll learn how to turn limited resources into unlimited opportunity and hear real examples of campaigns that went viral for less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
If you’re ready to market smarter, not richer, this episode will give you the playbook to make your message impossible to ignore.
Build a Brand That Feels Like You
Your brand isn’t just your logo, colors, or tagline, it’s your energy. It’s how people feel when they see your name, hear your voice, or interact with your business. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to build a brand that feels like you. One that’s authentic, magnetic, and impossible to copy.
From your story and values to your tone, design, and digital presence, we’ll explore how to align everything you do with who you actually are. You’ll hear real-world examples of founders who stopped pretending, started showing up as themselves, and built loyal audiences that buy into their mission, not just their products.
If you’ve ever felt like your brand looks good on paper but doesn’t reflect who you are in real life, this episode will show you how to change that, for good.
Finding Your Ideal Customer (and Firing the Wrong Ones)
Not every customer is the right customer and learning that might be the most profitable lesson you ever learn. In this episode, we break down how to identify your ideal customer profile with precision, set boundaries that protect your team and brand, and confidently ''fire'' the wrong clients who drain your time, energy, and culture.
You’ll hear real stories of entrepreneurs who redefined their customer base, streamlined their operations, and saw exponential growth, all by saying no to the wrong business. If you’re ready to scale smarter, serve better, and build a business that fuels your passion instead of burning you out, this episode is for you.
You Asked, We Answered
You Asked, We Answered: a no-BS episode of Unplugged Unfiltered where we tackle the real questions you’ve been sending in. From how to build a brand that actually sells to leading through chaos, we’re cutting through the noise and giving you straight answers.
No filters. No fluff. Just honest insights on business, leadership, mindset, and the future of entrepreneurship.
Tune in because if you asked it, we’re answering it.
The Eye of The Show Storm
The storm hit — and we’re standing right in the middle of it.
Live from Louisville, Brian and Bob bring you inside the action, the energy, and the madness of the show floor. This isn’t the calm after the chaos — it’s the eye of the storm, where everything you’ve built comes to life.
The Storm Before the Show
In this week’s episode, Brian and Bob pull back the curtain on the chaos, excitement, and intensity leading up to Louisville. It’s the raw truth of what it takes to build something big — no polish, no script, just pure entrepreneurial energy.
They talk late nights, last-minute pivots, and the mental grind that comes before every major breakthrough. This isn’t about calm seas — it’s about thriving in the turbulence.
The Freedom Myth
We all start businesses for freedom — freedom of time, freedom of money, freedom to choose. But somewhere along the way, the dream turns into a grind. Suddenly you’re working more hours, making less money, and answering to the toughest boss you’ve ever had: yourself.
In this episode, we break down The Freedom Myth — why so many entrepreneurs feel trapped inside the very thing they built, and how to reclaim the independence that inspired the journey in the first place.
Showcasing Your Product

The Death of a Dream
The Boogieman Effect
Every company has one: the “boogieman” that teams blame when things go wrong. Marketing points at Sales. Sales points at Product. Employees point at each other. Leaders point at everyone else.
The Death of a Software-Dependent Dream
When Your Tools Become Your Trap
In this episode, we continue our Death of a Dream series by shining a light on an overlooked killer of ambition: the very software and tools entrepreneurs depend on. From bloated tech stacks that drain cash to integrations that never quite work, the wrong systems can quietly suffocate a vision.
Death of a Mismanaged Dream
Episode #20
You can sell the dream. You can inspire people to believe in it. But if you can’t manage it… that same dream can collapse just as fast.
The Death of the Unsold Dream
Part 2
In Part 2 of “The Death of an Unsold Dream”, we confront the brutal truth every startup founder must face: without sales, there is no survival. Ideas, passion, and vision mean nothing if you can’t move your product into the hands of real customers.
The Death of the Unsold Dream
Part 1
You can have the best product, the sharpest idea, and the sexiest business plan… but if you can’t sell, it’s all just a corpse waiting for the dirt. Tonight, we’re digging into the cold, hard truth about sales—the skill that breathes life into your dream or buries it six feet under.
