Conversations I want to have
I want real talk about building a business from the ground up. That covers why someone started, the moment it almost fell apart, and the decisions that changed everything. Topics include entrepreneurship, scaling and growth strategy, leadership and hiring, sales, mindset, personal branding, and making the leap from employee to founder. The best episodes are candid and specific: real numbers, real mistakes, and the lessons that came from them. Every listener should walk away with something they can use in their own business, not just a feel-good story.
Looking for guests who…
Great guests are entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders from any industry who have built something real and will talk honestly about how they did it. They share what they got right, what nearly broke them, and the specific decisions that changed their trajectory. Bestselling authors, speakers, and investors are a great fit when they have real operating experience behind their message. The best guests bring stories and lessons listeners can apply, not just inspiration. Not a fit: guests who only want to pitch a product, course, or program. Also not a fit: anyone who avoids talking about setbacks, or people with theory but no track record of building or leading a business.

As a guest

Expertise
After 20 years in medical and pharmaceutical sales, I left corporate to co-found EZDC 3PL, a fulfillment company for e-commerce brands, with no logistics background. We’ve grown to two facilities in Kentucky because of a team that runs the operation every day. My part has been sales and relationships, and I’ve learned a lot of it the hard way. I also host Beyond Fulfillment, where I interview founders about the real story behind their businesses. I can share honest lessons on making the jump from corporate to startup, founder-led selling, building a personal brand, building a team you can trust, and the fulfillment mistakes that quietly hold e-commerce brands back.
Talking points
  • What e-commerce brands get wrong about fulfillment. When to outsource, how to pick a 3PL, and the hidden costs that eat into margin.
  • Personal branding for founders. Why people buy from people, and how to show up consistently on LinkedIn and at events.
  • Founder-led selling. Why the founder should be the company’s first and best salesperson, and how to do it without a big team.
