The Podcast for Location Independent Entrepreneurs

We talk quite a bit on this podcast about services businesses and the sorts of problems that they seek to solve for their customers. 

You may recall that Eagan Heath joined us to share his thoughts about this back in 2018 on an episode titled “The Knowledge Gap vs. The Efficiency Gap Revisited”.

In that episode, we spoke about whether it is better to serve your customers by filling a “knowledge gap” and teaching them why they need your services or to fill an “efficiency gap” by helping them optimize something that they are already doing.

One of the promises of entrepreneurship is that there are opportunities to make money all around us if we can learn how to recognize them.

Laurence Taylor has recognized some of them himself.

Laurence and his wife are the founders of HipTen, a SwaS (Software with a Service) consultancy that works exclusively on the Salesforce platform for the insurance industry.

One of our favorite things about this podcast is that we get to talk to people who have inspired us or entertained us over the years.

Matt Farah is certainly one of those people.

Matt is somewhat of a pioneer in the automotive journalism community on the internet. His long-running YouTube channel The Smoking Tire and his podcast of the same name are both incredibly popular, and among our very favorites.

A few weeks ago on this podcast, we mentioned that we had started writing a new book based around The 1,000 Day Principle, a recurring topic we’ve talked about many times on this podcast.

In doing research for that book, a few common themes have started to become apparent to us.

As the dog days of summer are coming to a close, we’ve decided to address several interesting topics that have come across our desk throughout the month of August.

One such topic came in the form of an article by entrepreneur and author James Altucher, who discussed why he thinks ‘NYC is dead forever’.
