If you missed part one, go check it out first. He shared how he got started and built his business around flipping liquidation inventory. This time, we went through a bunch of live listings and talked about the broader strategy behind spotting great deals, understanding the market, and making real money from what others overlook. Shannon’s been doing this for decades and his insights just keep getting sharper. We covered everything from boring products to surprising opportunities.

It’s a wild ride that shows exactly how he went from a small investment to building one of the fastest-growing apparel brands out there. In this second part, we focused more on the agency side of things. Ryan shared what he thinks are the best service businesses to start right now, especially the ones that are still wide open and create real results for clients. We talked about smarter ways to test products, how to make your first clients say yes without needing a huge portfolio, and what separates people who actually make it in business from those who don’t. We also got into team building, identifying real impact, and why being scrappy and resourceful still wins.

Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com [https://TKOPOD.com] and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com [https://TKOwners.com] ━ I sat down with Ryan Bartlett, founder of True Classic, and this one was wild. He took a $3,000 investment and turned it into a $270 million t-shirt company, all without venture funding. We broke down exactly how he pulled it off from finding product market fit to reverse engineering Facebook ads, negotiating every SaaS and 3PL deal, and turning free gifts into a growth engine. He shared the hidden power of starting with a simple agency, why CRO and email are the smartest plays right now, and how you can test 50 product ideas a month with almost no risk. We also went deep on how he uses comedy in advertising to build unforgettable brand moments and why inventory innovation is the future of ecom. Ryan even dropped a few business ideas he doesn’t have time to pursue and one of them might be yours now.True Classic: https://www.trueclassic.com [https://www.trueclassic.com]Follow Ryan on X: https://x.com/RyanBartlett [https://x.com/RyanBartlett] Enjoy! --- Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-yt [https://www.youtube.com/@thekoerneroffice?sub_confirmation=1] Ask me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-ask [http://tkopod.co/p-ask] Learn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjk [http://tkopod.co/p-cjk] Learn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cof [http://tkopod.co/p-cof] Follow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-x [http://tkopod.co/p-x] [http://tkopod.co/p-x]Free weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nl [http://tkopod.co/p-nl] Share this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-all [http://tkopod.co/p-all] Scrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os [http://tkopod.co/p-os] [http://tkopod.co/p-os]---

He broke down exactly how he grew the newsletter to over 35,000 subscribers and 73,000 social followers in just over a year, and how he monetizes through exclusive sponsorships. Jas shared his playbook on ads, open rates, subject lines, and why local newsletters are the most underrated way to build a real audience today. We also got into his new venture, Digest Lights, a Christmas lights business he launched on top of the newsletter that’s already bringing in jobs before the season starts. We talked through unit economics, sales tactics, and the bigger vision of using a local media asset as a marketing arm for other businesses.

I show how I vibe-code a tiny web app in Lindy, use Nano Banana to stage or pro-grade listing photos for pennies, then pull realtor leads with Outscraper and text polished samples via HighLevel to start paid work fast. I walk through prompts, pricing ($1/photo starter), and a simple pipeline that can scale into $500/month retainers for ongoing virtual staging and revisions. Then I wrap with a clean outreach system you can copy today.
