The Off the Clock entrepreneurs break down what worked, what failed, and how they’re leveling up in 2026 — without the filters, fluff, or fake hustle.

2025 was a year — and not always an easy one. In this episode of OTC: After Hours, the crew sits down to talk honestly about what went well, what didn’t, and what every entrepreneur eventually faces: growth, overwhelm, burnout, breakthroughs, and the decision to go “full ass” instead of half-trying.

Travis, Josh, Apollos, Brian, and Austin dive into:

• Knowing when you’re self-employed vs. a true business owner

• Why analysis paralysis kills momentum

• Balancing business and parenthood

• What partnerships and client relationships should really look like

• And how to stop second-guessing yourself

It’s raw, relatable, and ridiculously funny — exactly what happens when entrepreneurs unwind after hours.

Our very first episode does exactly what OTC does best — real conversations, unscripted energy, and entrepreneurs finally getting off the clock. Travis, Nathan, Brian, and Captain Austin sit down to unpack why traditional networking feels broken, how Off The Clock flips the model, and why the best ideas happen when the pressure’s gone.

From hilarious stories (some that probably shouldn’t be recorded) to real insights about entrepreneurship, collaboration, competition, and the culture of cigar lounges, this episode sets the tone for what OTC: After Hours will become — relaxed, honest, and unexpectedly valuable.

If you’ve wondered what Off The Clock is like behind the scenes… this is it.
