Builders of Authority

I love having some of the brightest entrepreneurial, marketing, and branding minds on my podcast. The conversation always turns out really amazing. Today is going to be just that. I first heard of this guest back in 2023 after hearing him on a few podcasts, and was so impressed. After following him for awhile, I saw that he was looking to get on some more podcasts so I reached out and threw my name in the hat. Today I’m excited for this opportunity.

Today we are coming to you live from Half Coast Studios here in St. Louis, MO. I’m joined by someone I met a few months ago after he heard me on a podcast (great plug and example of building authority & your personal brand). Shortly after we hopped on a call and he expressed interest in our BOA Mastermind. He joined a few days later and will be attending BOA LIVE next week (at the time of this recording). My guest today is Joe Rohne. He has an incredible track record of running multiple companies, including being a real estate broker, vacation rental property manager, and he’s even built his own community helping others grow their vacation rental business.

It’s been a pleasure watching him grow over the last year plus, and his making some massive strides. Today’s guest is Charles Marks. He is the owner of Marks Jewelry Co. in Wentzville, MO.

Today’s guest and I got connected last year through a mastermind called Apex. We had a quick phone call one afternoon, and I was blown away at what he has built, and continues to build.

Additionally, I have provided consultation to over 50 SaaS founders, guiding them on strategies to revamp sales, marketing, and implement new expansion revenue models for faster scalability. During my tenure at Fullsteam, I spearheaded a 10x growth of the rentals portfolio. Simultaneously, I led the Fullsteam Accelerated Sales Team (FAST program) and the Fullsteam Accelerated Marketing Team (FAM). Throughout this period, I was promoted to Vertical President and achieved the distinction of being the first founder to attain a 10x growth following an acquisition. Furthermore, I have garnered recognition from my peers for possessing the strongest sales and marketing strategy within the FullSteam portfolio, which comprises 80 SaaS companies. Additionally, I successfully transformed a 13-year-old tech stack, originally not purpose-built, into an industry leader in a new vertical, starting from zero customers. I also established the first in-house digital marketing service to offer new attachment add-on services, achieving $3.5M in the first 24 months and maintaining a pace of $250k of new ARR every month. Prior to my involvement in FinTech, I successfully built, scaled and sold a seven-figure digital marketing agency in 8 months. Before embarking on my entrepreneurial journey, I honed my skills as a sales leader in multiple Austin startups, primarily in the Adtech space, where I gained extensive experience in cold calling and digital marketing.

Today we have a solo episode. I’ve only done a few of these, and the last one was announcing the transition from Entrebrewer to Builder of Authority for the podcast. I really enjoy the solo episodes from time to time, and who knows, maybe we will do more of them. I do a lot of content though and I think people hear from me enough. Today I want to dive into our company Builders of Authority further. If you follow me on social media, then you probably know at least some of what we do, but for those that listen mainly to the podcast or watch the YouTube videos, then this will bring some clarity to everything. * BOA Journey * BOA Mastermind * BOA 1-1 * BOA LIVE Builders of Authority: FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7685392924809322 BOA Mastermind: https://buildauthority.co/order-form-mastermind GoHighLevel Free 14 Day Trial: bit.ly/4ag4idA

Today is a first for the Builders of Authority Podcast. We are originally recording this episode as a "live" recording on social media via Streamyard, and then will produce the podcast version of it as well at a later date. I’m joined by someone that I’ve been connected to for awhile, but just recently had a chance to meet over Zoom a few months ago. Last week I was on his podcast. I’ll be speaking at his events in both Nashville & Orlando this year. Nashville is coming up in June, and Orlando is in November. To promote the event, I wanted to have him and chat more about the event itself and hopefully have some of you come to it. We cater to the same crowd of people, and help them grow their businesses and become more well known. I’m excited to learn more about today’s guest, his story, and his events coming up this year.

We knew a lot of the same people, and as it would happen, he actually heard about the event from multiple people just weeks before. He bought a ticket and came, and I’m really glad that he did. Since then, I was a guest on his podcast just a few weeks ago, and had a great time. Today we are getting a chance to learn more about him, and dive into his story and journey.

Today’s episode will be great. I originally got connected with him over 2 years ago. He was a client of Hite’s for a bit.

Today we have another in person episode for you. This is someone I’m really excited about interviewing today. We have been connected for almost 4 years now, going back to the pandemic. When I was trying to go from side hustle to full-time entrepreneur, he was one of the local business owners I connected with on Facebook and interviewed to help promote local businesses when everything shut down. Since then, we have been supporting each other along the way. He has attended both of my events I’ve thrown, both back in 2021 and just last week. He’s currently a 1-1 personal branding client of mine with BOA, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. There’s no way that knows more about networking to grow your business and he’s the best in the auto repair business. My guest today is David Marks. He is the Owner of Quality Auto Repair Tire & Auto Sales here in St. Louis, located close by in Maryland Heights. David’s Bio: My entrepreneurial story starts, Sep 2008 I bought a "Garage With A House In The Front Yard". In Dec 2009 I started working part-time (evenings/weekends) within year a and half (May 2011) What started with ZERO customers I turned into a full time business! 2013, I added Used Auto Sales, to my portfolio. I found people liked acquiring used vehicles from a Trusted Automotive Technician. 2016, I got involved with SCORE & Small Business Development Center, to learn how to be a business owner. (ANYONE CAN BE A BACKYARD MECHANIC, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A BUSINESS OWNER). 2018, I added Used Car Detective, I found a need that consumers wanted to have Potential Used Vehicles inspected prior to being purchased. March 2019 I expanded my businesses to Maryland Heights with a 3 Bay Repair Facility, Full Service. This expansion will allow me to expand on my other 2 business Quality Auto Sales & Used Car Detective. The primary business will be Quality Auto Repair And Tire. To streamline my expansion, I formed a Management Company DSM Auto Family, LLC to oversee the day-day operations and still allow each of its 3 Business the ability to operate independently My business have evolved based on the principle of "People Won't Work For You And/Or Do Business With You If They Don't Feel Appreciated" We do that by providing "Trusted Services” Connect with David: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidscottmarks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidsmarks/ Business Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/qualityautorepairandtireautosales Website: https://www.qualityautorepairtireautosales.com/

Today we have another in person episode for you. You may know him from the insanely popular Facebook Group he created right as the pandemic started in 2020, called The End is Near, so Let’s Drink Beer. He’s one of the funniest people to follow online, and has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen, always looking for ways to give back and support others. Today is the first time that we are actually meeting in person, although we have chatted some back and forth online for a few years. I’m excited to get to know the guy behind a Facebook group with over 100k members. My guest today is Brandon McNamee. He is the Owner of Mac Realty Group, and probably many more ventures I don’t know about.

Today we have another in person episode for you. This is someone that to be honest, has made such a big impact on who I am today, and he probably doesn’t even know it. I’ve been “coaching” and helping people with their personal brands and businesses far before I ever launched Builders of Authority. And so often I would offer help and people would look at what I’ve done and make every excuse in the book as to why it was “too much”. Not today’s guest. And today’s guest has gone through an incredible journey. With plenty of ups and downs and challenges. He could have made excuses at every step in the journey, but he’s resilient and for that, I can’t thank him enough. He’s a member of our BOA Mastermind and one of my 1-1 Inner Circle coaching clients. My guest today is Brad Starnes. He is the Owner of Screamin Cow Marketing Group and the Host of the Unfair Advantage Podcast. Brad’s Bio: As the CEO & President of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, I lead St. Louis' premier marketing agency dedicated to elevating Home Service and Professional Service businesses. With a knack for strategic innovation and a passion for transformative marketing, my journey to the forefront of the industry is a testament to resilience, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Before beginning on the entrepreneurial path that led me to Screamin Cow, I founded Splitsy, a fintech venture that revolutionized how we manage shared expenses. Under my leadership, Splitsy not only secured a significant 6-figure crowdfunding investment but also earned a coveted spot in Equifax's inaugural accelerator program. My efforts were recognized when I was honored as the 2021 Bloch School Entrepreneur of The Year, a milestone that highlights my commitment to disrupting the status quo. Despite the challenges that led to Splitsy's closure, my entrepreneurial spirit never wavered. The experience taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, leading me to a pivotal role in business development in St. Louis. This role set the stage for the creation of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, which, under my guidance, has seen remarkable growth. In just a year, we've built a talented team and are on the brink of surpassing six figures in revenue, with 2024 shaping up to be a year of exponential growth. Beyond my professional pursuits, my faith and the support of my family are my guiding lights. As a man of Christ who navigates the world with a stutter, I've learned the power of authentic communication and perseverance. My dedication to service is evident through my volunteer work with organizations like Missouri Boys State, and my commitment to building and nurturing both my personal brand and those around me.
