Builders of Authority

Today we are coming to you live from Half Coast Studios here in St. Louis, MO.  I’m joined by someone I met earlier this year.  Funny enough we had been connected online and both were at an event in Wilmington, NC of all places. But he left a day early, and I showed up a day late so we literally just missed each other.  After that event though, we grabbed lunch and started talking about life and b...

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 n...

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 th...

Today we are joined by someone who is a Fractional CMO, Speaker, and Lead Generation/Launch Specialist & Summit Producer.  I first met her through a mutual connection a few months ago. We hopped on a zoom call and learned more about what we do, and then I was recently a guest on her podcast.  I’m excited to have Jennie Wright on the podcast today.  Our Title Sponsor for the Builders of Authori...

I always enjoy interviewing people that I’ve known for a long time. I think it makes the episode that much better because we both know each other, what we have gone through, and how the different seasons of life and business have made us who we are. That’s what you’re going to get with today’s episode. Today’s guest and I were franchisees of a company in a previous life, have been in the digital m...

We have another in person episode coming to you live from Half Coast Studios in St. Louis.  Today I’m joined by someone who I’m a huge fan of.  I was originally on his podcast over a year ago, after he made a post on Facebook looking for some guests.  Since then, he’s supported me in a ton of ways. We have done digital marketing for him, he joined Aspera Life when I was running that, and now BOA....

This is going to be a special episode.  A few months ago, I had the opportunity to interview my dad in person on the podcast, and it was one of the best and most downloaded episodes we have had.  Today I get the opportunity to interview my youngest brother, Andrew.  He just moved back to St. Louis and has started working for me with Builders of Authority to help grow the company and take it to the...

Today’s guest and I are talking live for the first time.  We have been connected online for a bit, and he was looking to get on some more podcasts.  Our mutual friend, Mike Kitko, recommended we get something scheduled, and I’m really excited for this.  I had been following this guest for awhile just absorbing all the information and free value he puts out, and now even watching more since Mike co...

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.  I’ve been watching this guy and his company continue to grow and level up, and thought it would be the perfect time to have him on the podcast today.  My guest today is Tony Flattum. The Managing Director @ Built...

Today I’m joined by one of the brightest minds I’ve ever met in the marketing & advertising space.  We have known each other for the last few years, and I’ve seen him to continue to grow his business by providing incredible solutions and results for his clients. I’m excited to learn more about him, and dive into his story even further.  My guest today is Jeremy Thraikill. He is the Founder at...

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 furt...

Today we continue with another in person episode here at Half Coast Studios here in St. Louis.  This guest and I got connected on social media awhile ago, but one of our mutual connections recommended that we hop on a call. So we did that 2 months ago, and then I wanted to make sure that I got him on my podcast. There’s so many different things that he’s involved in, so I don’t want to steal his t...

I’m honored to have today’s guest on the podcast with me.  I was honestly shocked that I hadn’t had him on yet when I went to go ask him, but at least now we are making it happen. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this guy for coming up on 3 years, and I can say he’s one of those people that instantly made my life better.  I’ve gotten the chance to get to know him better really over the last 2 year...

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...

Today we have another in person episode for you.  He and I actually just got connected here recently before the last BOA LIVE event. 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...

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.  Since then, I’ve been watching him grow his company and venturing into new things.  He’s now a part of some of the same groups I’m in, and is also in our BOA community as well.  We finally met in person this past year at RoofCON, and I love his commitment to self development...

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....

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 ac...

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...

Today’s episode is one where I’m joined by someone that I’ve been connected to for over a year now through Apex.  I’ve been a guest on his podcast “The Kitchen Table”, and I’m a member of his free online community, Blue Collar Ballers.  He’s grown in many ways over the past year plus since I’ve known him. This guest is someone that’s leveling up all over, and continues to raise the level at which...

Today I’m joined by someone that I’ve been connected to online for a few months. We had a chance to briefly meet last year at RoofCON.  A few weeks after the event, we synced up for a call, and had a great conversation.  After that, I was a guest on his podcast.  And then I knew we needed to get him scheduled for Builders of Authority.  He’s an expert in AI, and has one a highly rated podcast call...

I’m not going to lie, I have been looking forward to this episode ever since I started podcasting.  While this guest may have not known he was going to be on my podcast, I did. I wrote his name down as a guest I wanted to have back as I was just getting started. I’ve been following him since 2020, and the fact that he’s here in studio today with me, I’m just blessed for this opportunity.  There’s...

Today we have another in person episode with someone I’ve been following since 2015/2016.  Back when I was in medical device sales I was driving around and traveling a lot, so I needed to find something to listen to on the radio.  After a friend of mine recommended I listen to his show TMA/The Morning After, I became hooked, or as the show refers to a lemming. Over the last 7 plus years, I’ve list...

Today’s episode is going to be like none I’ve ever done before.  It’s an in person episode. Today’s guest has known me longer than anyone else who will ever be a guest on my podcast.  This is an episode that I’ve been so excited about for so long, but also a little nervous because of how important this person is to me.  He’s got an incredible track record as a lawyer over the last 30 plus years, a...

I’m excited for today’s episode.  It’s the 1st in person episode of Builders of Authority.  No pressure.  Today’s guest is someone that I’ve known for years, going all the way back to grade school.  We know of each other, but didn’t necessarily know each other well. It wasn’t until 7 or 8 years ago that we got to really know each other and started hanging out.  Since then we have spent a lot of ti...
