A man on top of the building with the view of the city at night

After this weekend's incredible DCBKK event, Dan and Ian sift through the mountain of helpful information, solid business advice and entrepreneurial savvy to bring you the highlights of the event.This episode's cup is overflowing with takeaways that the fellas gleaned from each speaker's presentation.  You might want to grab a notepad for this one.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • A simple method to shape the story people tell when they talk about your brand.

  • How being 'nice' can get you a 40% premium on the selling price of your company.

  • Why you should be choosing your clients, not the other way around.

  • The realization that it's all B.S. (and how to use it to your advantage).

  • That design is a defensible competitive advantage, not decoration.

  • Why "Table Selection" is the most important thing in entrepreneurship.
