Episode #154: Cory Blumenfeld has built five companies across industries he did not know going in, from driveway repair to healthtech, fintech, outsourcing, customer success, and LinkedIn personal branding.

He exited CoHealth to ACTO, co founded Caribou, raised over $3M, and now runs BlueMoso and Linked Agency remotely from Playa del Carmen.

In this episode, we talk about the big mistake many founders are making right now: thinking AI means they do not need a team.

Cory explains why AI can make founders faster, but also turns them into the bottleneck even quicker once traction hits. We discuss what founders should delegate first, how to build with virtual assistants, why outsourcing often fails, and why the real challenge is not operational. It is emotional.

We also cover founder ego, remote teams, personal brand, LinkedIn ghostwriting, building in unfamiliar industries, and what it actually means to build a company that does not depend on you doing everything yourself.

In this episode (153), the twins talk to Amanda Sima. Amanda Saima is a serial founder, inventor, and entrepreneur who has built businesses in collegiate apparel, consumer products, and now media.

In this episode, Amanda shares how a vintage Ohio State sweater inspired her first company, how she got into the complex world of collegiate licensing, and what she learned from sourcing products internationally.

Then the conversation turns into a full founder thriller: Amanda explains how she created a patented disposable kids’ cup lid, why she believed it could be a billion-dollar idea, and how a major corporation allegedly copied it after she shared the concept with a manufacturer.

We talk about patents, copycats, lawsuits, founder resilience, and why entrepreneurs have to turn pain into progress.

Most founders love building. Fewer love selling. And according to Vasyl “Vince” Soloshchuk, that’s exactly where many startups go wrong.

In this episode, we talk about why rejection is one of the most valuable forms of startup data, why founders need to talk to customers earlier, and why traction beats a smart-sounding idea every time.

We also dive into FinTech, AI, distribution, data infrastructure, investor red flags, burn rate mistakes, and why execution matters more than vision.

A practical episode for founders, operators, and anyone trying to build something real instead of just building something impressive-looking.
