Service business owners and small business entrepreneurs leave money on the table every single day. Ben's barber cuts hair for Minnesota Vikings players but doesn't use it as marketing. No social proof, no price increases, just missed revenue opportunities.

Some business owners tested the fear. A massage therapist raised prices after Ben coached her and showed the demand would still be there. She did it and saw no decline. A pet supplement business added $10 to every product with zero drop in sales. A Thai restaurant using gift certificates to drive repeat visits. Some operators hesitate when demand proves they can charge more. Others lean into it and grow.

Inside: pricing psychology, surge pricing, mobile premium services, and retention tactics that can help create immediate return visits.

Business is simple. People are lazy.

Nick Loper has interviewed more side hustlers than anyone alive. 700 episodes, 24 million downloads, and today he shares the business ideas that blew his mind the most.

Nick, Jon, and Ben look at side hustles you've never heard of: turning free items into premium products, memberships that help people do chores they already hate, everyday commodities repositioned as luxury goods, and real estate plays that require almost zero money down.

Nick also reveals how his podcast generates $10-20k per month in sponsorships, where he finds the most interesting entrepreneurs to interview, and why he thinks public domain content is massively underrated. If you think all the good business ideas are taken, you need to hear these stories.

Shannon Jean is back, and this time he is screen sharing liquidation auctions and walking through exactly what he buys, what he skips, and why. Ben and Jon watch in real time as deals close, from pallets of appliances selling for a fraction of retail to seasonal inventory being liquidated for pennies on the dollar.

Shannon breaks down his sourcing strategy in detail. How to evaluate manifests, calculate landed costs including freight, and spot boring high margin products most people ignore like toilets, hinges, and lighting fixtures. He explains how buyers move bulk inventory fast by working with contractors and local buyers, and why relationships matter more than platforms.

He also shares real outcomes from his mastermind, including operators who scaled from small flips into physical resale businesses and others who pulled five figure profits from single pallets by buying the right inventory at the right price.
