In this episode of the Passion Millionaire Podcast, Robert Roth speaks with M. Curtis McCoy, personal branding expert and founder of Success Motivation Inspiration TV and Newswire Magazine. Curtis has helped entrepreneurs across industries become the recognized, go-to name in their space. Curtis shares the wake-up call that changed his career. After building a telecommunications company to over 250,000 website visitors through aggressive SEO content, a competitor spread false rumors about him.

Curtis realized nobody outside his town knew who he was, pushing him to master personal branding. He eventually grew a Facebook community to nearly half a million members and turned it into a nationally syndicated TV show reaching over 700,000 viewers online. The conversation dives into how Curtis builds brand authority through TV interviews, search-optimized press features, magazine placements, and billboard campaigns designed to build trust before someone hires you.

He explains why solving a customer's problem beats chasing "best of" searches, how strategic content compounds over time, and why visibility is the missing piece between a good business and a thriving one. If you're ready to become known in your industry instead of competing on price alone, this episode
is full of branding strategies.

In this episode of the Passion Millionaire Podcast, Robert Roth speaks with Steve Barton, business coach and creator of The Game of 10, who took over his family's struggling flower shop at just 22 years old after his father suffered a sudden stroke, and grew it from $200,000 in revenue into a seven-figure business before selling it for millions right before the 2008 housing crash.

Steve shares the behind-the-scenes decisions that separate businesses that stay small from those that scale, from sourcing flowers direct from Holland to cut costs, to creative branding moves like turning a building wall into a legal mural to bypass Maine's billboard laws, to breaking into the high-margin wedding market through strategic venue partnerships. He explains why growth often comes down to differentiation and perceived value, not just working harder, and how building the right team and systems allowed him to run two locations without losing consistency.

The conversation also explores business acquisition, seasonal revenue planning, knowing when to sell, and the mindset shift Steve made from business owner to high-performance coach. He unpacks his coaching philosophy built on intention, intuition, and staying aligned with your highest self, especially through major life and business transitions. If you want real lessons on scaling a business with creativity and exiting it at the right time, this episode is packed with insights you can apply today.

In this episode of the Passion Millionaire Podcast, Robert Roth speaks with Mike Deaton, land investor and founder of Flipping Dirt, who left a 20-year corporate career at Microsoft to build a land flipping business that has closed over 700 deals in ten years, averaging a 150% return on investment.

Mike breaks down how land flipping works, from identifying healthy markets and finding motivated sellers to buying vacant land below market value and reselling it quickly. He explains how owner financing can accelerate sales while creating recurring cash flow, and why land flipping can carry less risk than traditional real estate investments. He also shares how beginners can get started with little to no money through contract assignments and partnerships.

The conversation also covers how to evaluate market demand, choose between cash and owner financing, and use systems and automation to scale. Mike explains how he built a nearly hands-off business, even while traveling internationally for weeks at a time.
