He's 22 and Took the Family Business to $1M a Year. He Pays Himself $400 a Week. 18.08.2026 52хвMatt McCrink is 22. A year ago he graduated from Auburn and walked into his dad's business — a third-generation operation brokering custom plastic and rubber components for manufacturers. For two decades it had been doing about $50K a year in profit. Basically a side hustle. In the twelve months since Matt joined, revenue went from $380K to over $1 million. I brought Matt to New York to understand how he did it, and to push him on what comes next — because when I asked him what he's actuall... -
He Owns 36 Auto Repair Shops Doing $50M a Year. He’s Never Fixed a Car. 11.08.2026 56хвBrian Beers has never fixed a car. He owns 36 Midas locations across Philadelphia, New Jersey and Allentown doing more than $50 million a year—with a CEO running the day-to-day, mechanics earning $5,000 in a week, and a business that runs without him. His dad became a Midas franchisee in the 1970s. Brian joined after college in 2010, writing service tickets, knowing nothing about cars. Six years later he and his brother put in $67,000 each, borrowed the rest, and bought two stores from a reti... -
He Built an $11M Business in 5 Months. I Told Him to Stop Growing So Fast. 04.08.2026 1год 9хвGustavs has built one of the fastest-growing businesses I’ve seen. In the first five and a half months of the year, his greenhouse company generated $11 million in revenue. He believes it can reach $50 million—and possibly even $100 million—before the end of the year. But rapid growth has nearly destroyed him before. Gustavs grew up in Latvia after the fall of the Soviet Union and began his career as a freight broker. He became the company’s top salesperson, launched his own logistics busines... -
He Makes $10M/Year in a Business Everyone Ignores 28.07.2026 1год 6хвDaniel Morris started with no money, a borrowed £10,000, and a cleaning business that charged roughly £12 an hour. Today, CanDo Laundry Services generates more than $10 million a year, operates three factories, processes over half a million items every week, and employs more than 130 people. But this episode is not just the story of how a 19-year-old university dropout built an industrial laundry empire. It is a real-time strategy session about what Daniel must do next if he wants to turn a s... -
He Built an $8M Manufacturing Business… But His Real Dream Is Something Much Bigger 21.07.2026 1год 31хвEvery entrepreneur eventually reaches a crossroads.

How He Built a $5M Government-Backed Business in Just 3 Years (No Healthcare Degree Required) 14.07.2026 43хвWhat if one of the best business opportunities wasn’t selling to consumers at all—but providing essential services that the government is already paying for? In this episode of Boring Money, I sit down with Jake, founder of A Guiding Light Services, who went from $0 to $4.8 million in annual revenue in just three years by building a Medicaid-funded home and community care business in Arizona. What’s surprising is that this wasn’t a business built on viral marketing, venture capital, or compli... -
He Lost $500K Trying to Be a Mogul — Then Built an $850K Lawn Care Business 07.07.2026 52хвRyan thought he had made it. He had a great medical sales job, lived in South Florida, and had built up real cash after a few successful real estate deals. But during COVID, he realized something uncomfortable: relying on one job, even a good one, was riskier than it looked. So he decided to build income streams. First, he bought real estate. Then he bought two bespoke clothing franchise territories. Then he bought a small lawn care company in Orlando. Then he bought a brand-new semi-truck an... -

I Roasted His Car Wash Startup — Then Gave Him a $4M Plan 02.06.2026 53хвPaulo is trying to bring Flipwash, a successful Brazilian car wash concept, to the United States. In Brazil, the company has grown to more than 140 locations and roughly $4 million per month in revenue. The model is simple: instead of making customers drive to a traditional car wash, Flipwash sets up inside shopping malls, office buildings, parking garages, and other places where people already park their cars. But the U.S. market is different. Paulo has five locations open, but he is stre... -

In this episode, we talk about franchising, dealer economics, building a custom CRM with AI, and why the old “best practices” for running a business may be changing faster than most owners realize.

He Inherited a 79-Year-Old Business… and Lost 70% of It 05.05.2026 1год 25хвClark Dane inherited a 79-year-old American manufacturing company and immediately watched it lose 70% of its revenue. Most people would have folded. Instead, Clark kept the business alive, rebuilt the customer base, and shifted from an old distributor/dealer model toward direct-to-consumer and commercial rental channels. But after sitting down with him, I realized the biggest opportunity was not just operational. It was mindset. Clark is sitting on a legacy American-made brand with real manuf... -

You're Getting It for $0 28.04.2026 58хвEric Villa helped grow some of the biggest YouTube channels in the world — including MKBHD’s behind-the-scenes channel, The Studio — and then helped take my channel from struggling for views to millions of views in a matter of weeks.

David Wu spent four years learning the trade show booth industry before lau... -
