By saying it's my MBA business, I basically gave myself permission for the first three years to just focus on learning and getting paid anything to learn is great when you compare it to an MBA where you're paying to learn."
That's Layla Pomper the founder of ProcessDriven, a company that helps small teams clean up their operations so they can turn their messy chaos into control.

Layla has bootstrapped ProcessDriven to over $250,000 in annual revenue and over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. But here's the thing - ProcessDriven was never supposed to be like this.

It was supposed to be just a business that she would run for maybe two or three years. Well, seven years later, and Layla still hasn't applied for a new job.

In this deep dive, we'll explore the mindset that helped Layla grow ProcessDriven initially, the three different chapters or pivots of ProcessDriven, and how Layla has used YouTube to grow ProcessDriven to where it is today.

When I started my entrepreneurial journey, Kylen Blom was one of the founders I immediately looked up to. He had legendary stories like sleeping in boats to sell his t-shirts, and he was already running his business full-time right after college while I was just getting started.

That felt like the dream.

Today, Kylen is a good friend and someone I still admire. He's the founder of Silkscreen Marketing, an art-focused production studio in Holland, MI. He's built an incredible studio that takes swag items that usually come out generic and boring and makes them genuinely creative and memorable.

In this deep dive, we'll explore how a college pitch competition led to sleeping in boats around the Great Lakes, how a small local team competes with giant competitors, and how Kylen and his team think about growth in a different way than most.

Brandi Bernoskie didn’t set out to build a million-dollar business. In 2011, she was writing content for NASA and running a small blog on the side, mostly for herself.

As she taught herself to code websites and friends started asking for help, a small side project grew into something more.

A couple of key mindset shifts turned that side hustle into what is now a $1M website agency, Alchemy & Aim.

In this deep dive, we’ll explore the mindset shifts Brandi made to go from side hustler to $1 million business owner, how her focus on service helped her stand out, and why her approach directly challenges one of the other founders I’ve featured here on The Quarter.

And after studying dozens of bootstrapped businesses in The Bootstrapped Report, Brandi’s story stands out as one of the clearest examples of how to grow a healthy, sustainable company.
