THE PODCAST

John and Melinda Minyard sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast and discussed everything leading up to their decision to launch The Pour Choice. While being coffee shop entrepreneurs, with a beer and wine menu, may not seem groundbreaking or unique, what John and Melinda created in Auburn, California quickly exploded with business! The secret ingredient? Their philosophy that, “You can either do things, or do things well,” and always striving for the latter. In this clip, John shares how the life of an entrepreneur is difficult to balance, between setting aside time and attention for those you love and making yourself available to a community of employees working a 7-day-a-week business, where there is always something going on, and when the phone rings, you never know if it’s critical.

SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast once more and shared his insight on building and scaling a SaaS company with a virtual workforce. Mac’s extensive experience in the startup world gives him keen insight on the common mistakes new companies make -- and bad company culture can derail a company’s progress. In this clip, Mac shares a creative idea the team at SmartRIA threw around to incentivize meeting compliance standards; and while a rewards system, built on Game Theory, is intriguing – the general consensus was that it wouldn’t work… no dopamine release in compliance!

SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast once more and shared his insight on building and scaling a SaaS company with a virtual workforce. Mac’s extensive experience in the startup world gives him keen insight on the common mistakes new companies make -- and bad company culture can derail a company’s progress. We discuss the work that went into starting the company, scaling to bigger clients, decentralizing the decision making, which roles were the first to be outsourced, and so much more. Mac also shares his views regarding mentorship and why it’s important to have many mentors -- not one mentor or coach -- many! Whether you’re a SaaS company, a legal firm, a blue-collar company, or anything in between, Mac’s experience as an entrepreneur is relevant to any business. We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when someone realizes how their unique skill set can be applied in multiple industries and how it unlocked their true potential.
