Well hey everybody! This week we talk about "Framing" - but not the construction type. In the context of Behavioral Economics, framing refers to the different ways information is presented in order to influence consumer behavior, even when the underlying facts remain the same. The core of framing involves highlighting certain aspects of information while downplaying others. For example: Positive f...

What does Organ Repair, Labyrinths, Tombstone Washing, and Pyromusicals all have in common? Absolutely nothing – until you meet this week’s guest, Jason Glydewell. If you need a refreshing episode to remind you why you got into self-employment in the first place, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss!  Jason tells us point-blank, “Dude, I am having a great time on this planet.”, and when you...

Now that we know our community enjoys learning about mental health and the psychology behind consumer behavior, we decided to nerd out a little bit and talk about a popular economic concept called "Taps and Sinks" (also known as "Faucets and Sinks") – which has nothing to do with the stuff you buy at Home Depot.  The type of Taps & Sinks we are talking about in this episode refers to mechanisms fo...

Have you ever wondered if any of the high flying, fast paced, tech entrepreneur stories you see in the movies are grounded in reality?  This week’s guest, Joe Mordica , talks about what it’s actually like to build a tech startup, sell it, help build another tech company into the second largest cryptocurrency mining farm in the United States (with an electric bill of about half a million dollars PE...

Long time listeners know all about Caleb (check out Episode Six if you really want to get all up in Caleb’s grits), but this time we get to hear about the Brown Family entrepreneurial journey from the perspective of his better half – Kristy Brown (aka “Little Wifey”, haha). Just like the Amay’s in Episode 14, Kristy insightfully brings “the rest of the story” to the table on what it has been like...

Surf YouTube, news websites, or virtually any social media platform, and you will be bombarded with advertisements on how to “make money with Amazon”.  However, how many people do you know, on a first name basis, that actually did it – and at scale?  Today, we are going to introduce you to someone we know personally that meets the description:  Anthony Herrington . In this wild interview, Anthony...

This week’s episode is the lighter side (Part Two) of our Entrepreneur Mental Health Series, where Caleb and Chris talk about some of the positive mental health experiences folks can encounter on their self-employment journey. If you haven’t done so already, we highly recommend listening to Part One of this series (Episode 0018) first. Check out our chat on your platform of choice . Special thanks...

“If you’d look at my phone right now, there’s probably 10 messages that I just sent today that says, “Hey let’s grab coffee or lunch in the next two weeks.” All too often entrepreneurs bet the future of their success solely on their product without considering the people they are selling to or buying from. Our guest this week, entrepreneur and investor Jared Carlson , turns that notion on its head...

There was a popular study published in 2015 by Dr. Michael A. Freeman, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Freeman collaborated with researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. This research focused on the mental health of entrepreneurs and found that 72% of entrepreneurs reported experiencing mental health con...

On the Sippi Podcast we often discuss the art of business, but for the very first time we were blessed with an opportunity to talk bluntly about the business of art:  "I'll settle for the honest struggle with it.", said our special guest, entrepreneur, and artist, Megan Sauls of The Shop at Lemon Tree . In this episode, you will hear firsthand experience about the perpetual tension between the pot...

Revenue, Earnings, EBITDA, Bottom Line, Equity, P&L, Balance Sheet – what the heck does ANY of this stuff actually mean and why should we care? In this week’s episode, Caleb and Chris talk about “The language of business” (otherwise referred to as “accounting”), through the lens of entrepreneurship. But wait! Before you decide to skip this episode due to perceived boredom (or fear), the guys take...

This week’s episode focuses on the human tendency to think more wisely about other people's problems than our own. This psychological phenomenon is so common and widespread that it’s been given the name “Solomon's Paradox”.  In case you’re wondering, the name is based upon the ancient King Solomon, who was renowned for his wisdom in advising others but made numerous poor decisions in his personal...

“We love to make people cry.”  And they mean it! Entrepreneurial duo Roberto and Christy Amay, owners of Amay Jewelry Designs , take us to school on the importance of attaching emotion to your product. But the education didn’t stop there!  Over roughly an hour listeners will learn about: Navigating a partnership (and conflict resolution) when your business partner and your life partner are the sam...

“Hustle till your haters ask if you’re hiring.” This is just one example of the many entertaining words of wisdom our latest guest, Mississippi Memaw , dropped on the microphone. In roughly one hour of conversation Memaw educated us on what it’s like to have the first video you ever upload to Tiktok go viral with over a million views and then prove to the world it wasn’t a fluke by creating additi...

In this week’s episode of Share Your Story, Mississippi Veteran and Entrepreneur, Ric McCluskey, gets behind the microphone and tells us what it’s like to go from working a minimum wage job to building and selling a company within four years. Ric talks about how growing your faith and your business at the same time doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive; and how leaning into the great unknown can a...

So, this is one of those "just for fun" episodes that has nothing to do with entrepreneurship whatsoever. However, we do recommend this episode if you want to be entertained and/or confused - because we definitely were (and still are). I need to also take a moment to say: If any of our listeners happen to have attended the 2014 NASCAR race in Talladega OR is a practicing psychiatrist/psychologist...
