In this keynote from Cap Con 7, I explain The Owners Model 2.0 and how we're scaling E-Commerce brands by focusing on enterprise value rather than cashflow. This flips the model on its head, and whether you're at the million dollar mark or just beginning, the earlier you can think this way the more successful your brand will be.

You really only need 500 to 1,000 people to have a really profitable business. If you can spend the next 2 or 3 months building up an audience of really responsive people you can absolutely have a million dollar business over the next 12 months. This podcast is NOT about how to become an influencer and devote your life to creating endless content. In this episode I share the playbook on taking a small audience like this and scaling to 7 figures.

The biggest news this week in E-commerce is that Thrasio, the biggest aggregator in online brands, is filing for bankruptcy after losing $3.4 billion. What does this mean for you?

In this podcast I explain what real brand building looks like and what the largest Amazon aggregators who are losing billions have been doing wrong so you can avoid the same mistakes. We're seeing better results than ever before inside The One Percent. Launches are selling out, and students are hitting record months over and over.

This is one of the most valuable podcasts we've ever shared on the show. Even if you're not at the million dollar mark, this episode will help you see the road ahead and make it "normal" for you to think about hitting $100M. I asked Branden Coluccio to speak at our last Capitalist Pigs event about normalizing the step-by-step framework to get to $100M because he's been there before. He has experience both as a founder and in the private equity space buying and selling brands. This talk was invaluable to me, and I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I did at the event.

Today I am sitting down with an entrepreneur who turned his life around after serving 3.5 years in a California state prison. Julian vulnerably shares his hard-hitting story - from being a heroin addict facing 15 to life, to reading transformative books in jail, to building multiple 7-figure businesses behind influencers after his release. Focusing on influential figures like Wes Watson and Michael Francese who had powerful stories but small audiences, Julian specialized in monetizing and scaling influencer brands to 7 and 8 figures. He reveals the 80/20 strategy he used to skyrocket Wes from 5,000 to 500,000 followers and beyond. Julian also opens up about the challenging environment in county jail and state prison, the mindset shifts that allowed him to grow even in adversity, and why he believes books and a worthy goal are so crucial to personal transformation. His message is one of hope, redemption, and the power of the human spirit to overcome any odds. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, or anyone on a journey of personal growth, Julian's story and insights will inspire you to reflect deeply and give you practical strategies to build the life and business of your dreams, no matter your starting point.
