This Is How You Actually Go From $0 to $100K Reselling Online⏐Ep. #243
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com━If you want to learn more, join Shannon’s mastermind at https://shannonjean.com/mastermind━I sat down with Shannon Jean again and we dove deep into how anyone can start reselling with zero dollars. Shannon showed me live auctions and walked me through a complete roadmap from flipping free Facebook couches to building a full reselling business that makes over $100K. We talked about how to find your unfair advantage, research what sells before buying, and spot the “boring” products that everyone else overlooks — like rugs, books, and parking meters. Shannon also shared stories of real people turning $1 into thousands, from a weatherman making $40K flipping couches to a seller doing $17K a month in pressure washers. Whether you want to make side income or build a full business, this episode shows exactly how to start.You can find Shannon on X: @ShannonJean (https://x.com/ShannonJean)Check out Shannon’s Free Auction Starter Guide and see every auction we mentioned at https://shannonjean.com/auctionsAnd learn more at: https://shannonjean.com/Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---

He Built a Simple App and Sold It for $200 Million⏐Ep. #242
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com━I sat down with Dan Porter and we talked about building products people can’t stop using. We unpack how Draw Something went from a scrappy side project to number one in 60 countries with ~25 million daily players and ~250 million downloads, and why tiny tweaks can unlock outsized outcomes. Dan shares the simple design choices behind the streak mechanic, letting you only play with friends, and the live playback that made the game feel alive, plus the story of selling for $200 million. We also get into starting Overtime without live rights and scaling it to hundreds of millions of weekly views, why outsider thinking is a superpower, and how he spun Six Seven Water from a meme into a real brand. If you’re a builder, this one will push you to ship, observe, and iterate.Find Dan here: https://x.com/tfadpEnjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---

How to Start a $20K/Month Business Selling to Lawyers⏐Ep. #241
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com━Beehiiv is the newsletter platform I’ve used for over a year and a half because their data shows you exactly what’s working. Get 30% off three months at beehiiv.com/chris━I sat down with Sam Thompson (https://x.com/ImSamThompson) again and we went deep on a wild but very real play. Sam took a painful market, wrapped it in a $29 eBook with a simple bump offer, and used Meta ads to drive buyers who can be referred to lawyers on the back end. We walk through the exact funnel, why AOV vs CAC is the only math that matters, how printing real copies boosted trust, and the snag he hit with Meta’s personal hardship policy. The bigger idea is using books as lead-gen for high-value services. If you want a one-person business you can actually run, this is the blueprint for testing fast, reading your own data, and turning information into revenue.Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---
