The Road To $1 Million

Mark Cuda's gone all-in on the brand he's developing - so much so that he moved his young family into a small apartment and quit his job so he can focus on it. This level of intensity and action-taking caught Ryan's eye, and the Capitalism Fund will be backing the brand. That means not only capital, but coaching and contacts. In this episode, you'll hear about the challenges Mark's faced with gett...

What if you invested $200K in your business and still weren't profitable? And what if that actually turned out to be really, really good news? Or, what if you had a successful pre launch and then heard nothing but crickets? And what if having zero sales for a stretch actually turned out to be the moment you look back at as when you poured rocket fuel on your brand? Sometimes when we're in the grin...

Most success stories get told backwards, from the great win all the way back to the humble beginnings. Think of all those "they started in their garage" stories. They wouldn't be nearly as compelling if the story ended in the founder going to work at a 'regular' job because of failing. A lot gets lost in the telling that way. Hindsight dictates which efforts, twists, and turns are worth recalling...

Josh Martin is a 24-year-old entrepreneur who first caught our eye as one of the winners of our Million Dollar Brands contest.

In this episode, you'll get to listen in as Ryan helps Josh sketch out the plan to go from making sales of $5K per month to a future $5...

Hey, honey… How about we build a brand that serves people who suffer from dry eyes, get it up to a $6 million run rate, then sell it in four years to Johnson & Johnson? You in? If you're thinking that sounds exactly like the conversation a couple of optometrists might have after reading 12 Months to $1 Million, you'd be pretty close. Except Drs. Travis and Jenna Zigler didn't read the book first....

If you peek into Ryan's pantry, you're going to find boxes and boxes of Keto Brownie. When he first stumbled upon this snack, he probably didn't know for sure that one day, he'd invest in the brand. But he was bullish on the founder, Nick Raccuia, and the product. So it surprised nobody when the Capitalism Fund made an investment. Nick's super power is product development. Of course, as a solopren...

Picture this… you and your partner decide to go all-in on the "crazy" idea you have for a brand. You toyed with the idea long enough, and at some point, things got serious. You even placed your first inventory order and it's on its way. But then it hits you. You've burned through a bunch of your cash. Now you're not sure how you'll pay for your second order so you can keep in stock and keep that h...

This week Ryan is coaching his own coach and Capitalism.com Product and Community Manager Justus Murimi. Most members within community The One Percent know Justus from his leadership on group calls and the one-to-one coaching he provides in the Capitalism Incubator to other entrepreneurs. But behind the scenes he's been building the early stages of his own brand with his partner in crime Deacon fo...

There's no shortage of success stories out...
