We Made $2M in 12 Months - Just from Instagram & YouTube

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

mardi 18 mars 2025 • Durée 35:13

"We’ve done over $2 million in equipment sales in 12 months—all from social media."

This episode dives deep into how social media transformed from a simple storytelling tool into a revenue powerhouse. We break down how sharing the right story—starting with a failed TV show—became the foundation for launching Ferncrest, selling over $2M in equipment, and turning casual followers into committed franchisees.

We also get real about the imposter syndrome that comes with constant content creation, the evolution of organic reach, and why building—not just talking—wins in today’s social media landscape. Plus, the one thing most brands get wrong when trying to grow an audience that actually converts.

What You’ll Learn:

Why the best social media strategy isn’t about going viral
The key to turning engagement into real revenue How Finding Promised Land leveraged giveaways to grow an audience fast
Why Schitt’s Creek played an unexpected role in brand storytelling
The power of YouTube and why it might be more valuable than Instagram

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

mardi 4 mars 2025 • Durée 44:52

"So many people exist for their entire life in this inaction state. They wait years, even decades, to take the first step. But you blink—and 10 years are gone." — Mike

If you've ever hesitated to start something because you felt like you weren’t ready, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why perfection is the enemy of progress in business
How launching an idea before it’s fully “baked” can actually lead to better results
The biggest differences between bootstrapped businesses and investor-funded startups
Why taking more shots on goal—fast—can be the key to success
How real entrepreneurs overcome fear, failure, and hesitation

mardi 4 février 2025 • Durée 29:24

In Episode 9 of Finding Brotherly Love, Mike and Brian celebrate a major milestone: their nomination for the Philadelphia Business Journal's Best Real Estate Deals and Dealmakers in the hospitality category. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. They pull back the curtain on what’s working—and what isn’t—six months after opening Society Hill Hotel.
