What's on
the desk.
Every episode is built for one listener: the curious person who wants a real idea, and a real sense of how it works, before the episode ends.
- 01
Practical business ideas
Ideas broken down to the first customer, the first dollar and the first problem you will hit.
- 02
Obscure profitable niches
The unglamorous corners of the economy where quiet operators make real money.
- 03
Startup and side-hustle opportunities
What you can start this weekend, and what deserves a real bet.
- 04
AI tools that do actual work
Tools that save hours inside a real business, not demos that look good on a thread.
- 05
Small business and home services
Cleaning, hauling, lawn care, trades and the boring businesses that compound.
- 06
Honest operating lessons
Hiring, pricing, margins and mistakes, said plainly, without the highlight reel.
