We're kicking off our first guest episode with a bang joined with creator and host of the Emmy-nominated Small Business Revolution, Amanda Brinkman. We swap origin stories and the moment she gave us permission to build a great small business without falling for the trap of scaling for scale's sake. Amanda shines a light on what most owners miss (think: your Google listing, true profit drivers, and why you must actually pay yourself), how to protect partnerships before feelings get weird, and the real reason valuing your time multiplies your margin. We also dig into her leap from corporate to founder, the ripple effect of purpose, and why contentment, not just achievement, keeps your business from running you.   Highlights 00:00 Amanda's career journey. 06:45 Behind the scenes of an Emmy nominated show. 13:00 The overlooked tool to bring customers straight to your door. 20:15 Why profitability decisions matter more than exciting new ideas. 25:45 The one thing most entrepreneurs forget to do for themselves. 32:00 How to protect friendships when business partnerships get tricky. 36:30 The hidden cost of doing everything yourself in business. 44:00 What are you applying to your business that you wish every small business knew? 52:00 Operating from and keeping your mindset focused on purpose. 1:00:00 What are your current favorite books and podcasts?   Resources + Links Apply for Luxury Clothier Collective Mastermind HERE More resources for custom clothiers HERE Watch on Youtube   Follow Appointment Only in IG: @appointmentonlypod Amanda Brinkman: @amandakbrinkman
