  • The Pros and Cons of Buying an Established Business - with Clint Rusch

    The Pros and Cons of Buying an Established Business - with Clint Rusch
    2025/11/04
    In this episode, Sean interviews Clint Rush, an award-winning business leader and decorated U.S. Army combat veteran, who shares his journey as an early-stage entrepreneur. Clint discusses his unique upbringing, influenced by his entrepreneurial mother, and how it shaped his perspective on business and life. He delves into the concept of entrepreneurship through acquisition, highlighting the benefits and challenges of taking over an established company. Clint emphasizes the importance of finding meaning in work, not just for himself but for his team and the community they serve. KEY TAKEAWAYS Entrepreneurship is not just about financial success; it's about finding meaning and fulfilment in the work you do every day. Focusing on the impact you have on others can provide motivation and purpose. Instead of solely focusing on payday, prioritise the daily experiences and relationships that bring joy and satisfaction. Building a culture that values meaningful work can lead to a more fulfilling life. Practical experience is invaluable. The importance of taking action and learning through real-world challenges is emphasised, as it leads to deeper understanding and growth. Building a cohesive team is essential for success. Hiring individuals who align with core values and fostering a culture of mentorship can enhance both individual and collective performance. Difficult situations, such as unexpected setbacks, should be approached as puzzles to solve rather than insurmountable problems. This mindset can lead to innovative solutions and growth within the business. BEST MOMENTS "The advantage of the ETA path is you get this great tailwind of a great reputation, established client base, right? You've got a portfolio of work, all of that stuff. The disadvantage is you get all of the other stuff that comes in with that path." "If you can find the way that you're doing something that is touching other people's lives, there's an opportunity for fulfillment going back to what your mom did." "You have to love the 28. If you don't love the 28, you're going to be unhappy." "People protect the thing that they have a stake in. When people have a stake in security, they're invested in security." "What charges you is the difference that you make in people's lives." HOST BIO Meet Your Host: Sean O’Hara, MBA – Entrepreneur, Sales Strategist, and Relentless Business Optimist. With over 20 years in the entrepreneurial trenches—guiding scrappy startups and Fortune 1000 giants alike—Sean brings a rare mix of strategic insight and real-world experience to every conversation. Known for his sharp sales acumen and down-to-earth style, he doesn’t just talk business—he lives it. Sean’s superpower? Asking the right questions, then stepping back to let the wisdom flow.

  • The Power of Imperfect Action Now - with Art Harrison

    The Power of Imperfect Action Now - with Art Harrison
    2025/10/28
    Today, Sean sits down with Art Harrison, a successful serial entrepreneur who built a thriving online social network with over 750,000 members before the advent of Facebook. Art shares his unique journey into entrepreneurship, driven by a mix of curiosity and necessity due to a sleep disorder that made traditional employment challenging. He discusses the importance of taking action, learning from experiences, and the value of questioning conventional wisdom. Art also reflects on his transition from building a community-focused platform to navigating the corporate world, ultimately leading to the launch of his latest initiative, the FSTEP initiative. KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking action is crucial for aspiring entrepreneurs. The journey involves trying things out, learning from failures, and continuously iterating on ideas. Just like stand-up comedy, where success comes from repeated attempts, entrepreneurship requires a willingness to experiment and face rejection. Knowing the underlying reasons for starting a business is essential. Whether it's for freedom, financial gain, or solving a specific problem, having a clear purpose helps guide decision-making and keeps entrepreneurs aligned with their goals. Gaining experience in a corporate environment can provide valuable insights into business operations, team dynamics, and problem-solving. This knowledge can be leveraged when starting your own venture, helping to identify gaps and opportunities in the market. While raising capital can accelerate growth, it can also lead to pressures that may not align with the entrepreneur's original vision. It's important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of taking on investors and to consider whether the business can thrive without external funding. This initiative aims to help individuals develop an entrepreneurial mindset through a series of challenges that encourage action, self-promotion, and risk-taking. It provides a supportive community for aspiring entrepreneurs to practice and refine their skills in a safe environment. BEST MOMENTS "I just figured there's gotta be a different way to get it done." "The only way to do it is to start taking action." "If you know that you want to do this, then you go in there and you treat that place as your source of education." "We were so proud in the first three years, we didn't raise any money." "You have to get comfortable doing the uncomfortable."

  • Adapting Your Website Strategy for the Age of AI - with Wes Towers.

    Adapting Your Website Strategy for the Age of AI - with Wes Towers.
    2025/10/21
    Today, Sean interviews Wes Towers, founder of Uplift360, to discuss the transformative impact of AI on digital marketing and website development. With over two decades of experience, Wes shares insights on how early-stage entrepreneurs can leverage AI to enhance their core messaging and stand out in a crowded digital landscape. He emphasises the importance of producing fresh, unique content to establish brand authority and the need for strategic repurposing of ideas across various platforms. KEY TAKEAWAYS AI can enhance business operations by streamlining processes and improving efficiency. It's essential to integrate AI thoughtfully into your business strategy to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. To stand out in a crowded market, businesses must produce fresh, unique content that adds value. Simply regurgitating existing information will not suffice; instead, aim to provide original insights and perspectives that resonate with your audience. Building authentic relationships with clients is crucial. Use AI to free up time for more meaningful interactions, allowing for a deeper understanding of client needs and fostering trust. Clearly define and communicate your core message to attract your ideal clients. Tailoring your website and content to speak directly to your target audience can lead to higher quality inquiries and better business outcomes. Engage potential customers across various platforms, but ensure that your website remains the central hub for conversions. Use social media and other channels to drive traffic to your website, where meaningful interactions and transactions can occur. BEST MOMENTS "People don't buy uncertainty. Therefore, I need to value your business super low because a few years ago it was just kind of the rise of AI in a way in which people understood the context." "You've got to go very deep with your clients, I would think on content, and the days of basically having a website that is something like a promotional brochure seems like it's almost over." "There's a risk and the danger people make is they get lazy because it's so easy to create content. So they do, and we're seeing it now, obviously with videos as well." "If you can have the bios and photographs of the key team members, that's really powerful, particularly for trades and construction. They like to see the people they're working with." "You can use social media to get to the website, but you really have to be strategic about putting all of this together."
