In this episode, Kevin Taylor shares his 25-year journey in commercial banking and the pivotal moments that led him to become an EOS Implementer. From cold drop-ins and relationship-driven business development to discovering the Entrepreneurial Operating System, Kevin explains how EOS helps leadership teams gain clarity, traction, and accountability.

This conversation is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to scale with purpose and discipline.

In this episode of Confessions of a Millionaire, Paul sits down with Ken Wimberly for an unfiltered conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship, the cost of early mistakes, and what it truly takes to build scalable, sustainable businesses over time.

Ken shares his journey from earning a finance degree at TCU and serving in the Navy to launching his first entrepreneurial venture in the pizza business, a venture that ended in bankruptcy just 18 months later due to a critical commercial real estate mistake. Rather than ending his career, that failure became the foundation for everything that followed.

The conversation dives deep into:

How a single real estate decision can determine the success or failure of a business
Why mentorship, proven systems, and the right advisors are non-negotiable
The dangers of ego and trying to “figure it out alone” as an entrepreneur
Why leadership and execution matter more than ideas
How following proven franchise and operating models accelerates growth
What makes laundromats a recession-resistant, cash-flow business when done correctly

Ken walks through his transition into commercial real estate brokerage, surviving the 2008 financial crisis, and eventually becoming a Keller Williams franchise owner, where he scaled multiple offices by implementing proven systems and hiring the right leadership. He then shares how those experiences led him into the laundromat industry, launching Laundry Love just months before COVID, and turning early challenges into long-term competitive advantages.

Now focused on scaling Laundry Love through franchising, Ken explains why he chose a franchise model, how his team eliminates costly “unforced errors” for new operators, and why community impact and operational excellence are core to their success.

This episode is a candid, experience-driven look at failure, resilience, and building businesses the right way - ideal for entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone considering business ownership who wants real lessons without hype or shortcuts.

In this episode of Confessions of a Millionaire, Blake Williams shares the unfiltered story behind growing his company from a one-man operation earning $35,000 in its first year to a $10 million home services business with more than 80 employees.

The conversation dives deep into how Blake built traction by focusing on realtor relationships instead of digital marketing, why he gave away free inspections early on, and how those uncomfortable moments became the foundation for long-term growth.

Blake also explains the systems that fueled his “hockey stick” growth, including:

• Why hiring an admin was his most important first hire
• How he built inspector teams to scale capacity faster than competitors
• The strategy behind expanding into pest control, HVAC, concierge utilities, and education
• Why most entrepreneurs underestimate the time, capital, and perseverance required to launch new verticals

This is not a hype story. It’s a real conversation about building something meaningful, sustainable, and profitable over time.
