  Grow or Die, Says Momentum Shake Founder (Encore)

  Sep 4, 202639 min

  Please enjoy this repeat of a popular episode aired in August 2024. Mike Tecku first appeared on this podcast in 2019 as an Amazon marketplace seller. He then sold that business, a maker of floor mats, shortly afterward. He retired, became bored, and in 2022 launched Momentum, a direct-to-consumer nutritional shake producer. He and I discussed that venture last year in his second appearance. He's back. Momentum Shake is flourishing, as is Tecku. He's evolved from the nuts and bolts of making money to achieving a purpose, building a team, and self-improvement. "If I'm not growing, I'm dying," he told me.

  BattlBox's Path from YouTube to Netflix

  Aug 21, 202635 min

  How does an ecommerce entrepreneur land a Netflix series? Not easily. Just ask John Roman. He co-launched BattlBox, an outdoor gear company, in 2015. Its YouTube channel eventually caught the eye of producers who turned it into a Netflix series. The process was long, uneven, and stressful. Along the way, the founders sold BattlBox and bought it back. He shares his journey in this episode.
