n his role as a mentor and coach to entrepreneurs, serial-entrepreneur Jeremy B. Shapiro helps small business owners make the transition from “solopreneur” to “business owner” – an important distinction that many entrepreneurs can easily miss when working “in” their business instead of “on” their business.

For over two decades, through structured mastermind groups, one-on-one coaching, and consulting work, Jeremy has been helping entrepreneurs discover the core strengths in themselves and their business, and realize their true potential combining passion and expertise to grow their businesses and attain the freedom they deserve.

Jeremy is also the author of the #1 Best Seller Your Business Growth Playbook: Breakthrough Strategies to Scale Your Business for Business Owners Who’ve Outgrown Hustle.

There are a lot of "experts" out there giving advice who’ve never built a thing. They’ve never stayed up all night sweating a product launch. Never had to scale a team. Never had to meet payroll.

They’re just regurgitating what they read in someone else’s book.

That’s not me.
I’ve built brands. I’ve scaled them. I’ve exited them. I’ve failed, won, and fought through it all.

And now, my team and I help brands do it every single day — across eCommerce, retail, and digital.
We don’t just advise — we execute.
We write the playbook.

So if you’re done with fluff, fake gurus, and marketers who’ve never sold anything outside of a slide deck — you’re in the right place.

This show is real strategies, real tactics, and real talk.

On this week’s episode of Crunching Your Growth, I sit down with Andre Ankri — founder of UTS Group, Metador, and Beyzim — to unpack how traditional industries can win with automation, AI, and smarter systems.

Andre started in construction and security technology and went on to build companies that integrate advanced tech into very real, very offline businesses. From access control and automation with UTS Group, to future-ready business workflows with Metador, to B2B lead generation and marketing with Beyzim, Andre is obsessed with one thing: creating efficient, scalable, and sustainable businesses.

We talk about:

• How to bring AI and automation into day-to-day operations without overwhelming your team
• What traditional businesses get wrong about technology (and how to fix it)
• Turning marketing into a lead engine instead of a vanity metric
• The mindset shift from “busy” to “built to scale”
• Lessons from architecture, the army, and entrepreneurship that shape his leadership today

If you’re a founder, operator, or leader trying to modernize your business without losing your mind (or your margins), this episode is for you.

Want to raise capital for your business? I am laying out exactly what to do based upon my experiences and from investors.

If you can’t answer five simple questions, what is your product, what problem does it solve, how does it solve it, who buys it, and what they’ll pay, you’re not raising capital today. In this video I break down what PE & VCs told me directly at an investor conference, including the 35% IRR growth reality. $1M to $3.5M to $7M and how to craft a 10 slide pitch investors actually underwrite.

What you will learn
Equity vs debt. Why a 35% IRR, which investors require, makes equity very expensive. Also, another way I have used and what i have outlined in the video.
Always want active money not passive money.

10 slide pitch deck. No one wants to go over 20 or 30 slides. these are very smart people. They want you to have clarity.

Practice your one line pitch
