Episode Spotlight

Join hosts Rich Sloan and Troy Janisch as they huddle with some extraordinary entrepreneurs. They start with Fran Tarkenton, superstar Minnesota Vikings QB but also serial entrepreneur.

He marches us down the field with a huge burst of enthusiasm and passion and street wisdom – these are fundamentals that make for a successful entrepreneur. Learn about his views on the correlation between his life and role as a pro athlete and being a winner in business. You’ll get a kick out of his site, GoSmallBiz.com, where he offers a variety of learning products for entrepreneurs.

Next up on the show are the founders of Threadless.com, a huge success story. It’s a T-shirt company that allows artists and amateurs to submit T-shirt designs that are ultimately sold by Threadless. It’s a truly user-driven retailer and there’s much to learn about how you might be able to leverage the great capabilities of your own customer base to increase sales. This is a very clever business – they allow their users to control their business and therefore they sell only what’s in demand. You gotta hear about what they’ve done.
