SixFig Podcast

He built an 8-figure oil and gas company, closed nine-figure deals, and was traveling 80% of the time. Then his marriage nearly collapsed, and he walked away from all of it. When Ryan Lang tried to rebuild as a coach, he assumed his sales background would carry him. Instead, he lost $200K chasing funnels and took three years to hit six figures, all because he forgot the one principle that built his first company.Ryan's perspective is rare because he has operated at every level, from selling paintings door to door as a teenager to consulting for eight and nine figure brands, and he will tell you that the tactics everyone obsesses over are the least important part of the equation. If you are a coach or service provider stuck between ten and twenty thousand a month wondering why nothing is clicking, this conversation will show you exactly what you are sequencing wrong.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (02:35) Leaving an 8-Figure Business (15:29) Why "One Funnel Away" Breaks Real Businesses(18:47) The Four Stages of Path to Mastery(26:15) When Founders Should Stop Selling Themselves(38:02) Can You Be an Entrepreneur if You Fear Sales?(52:16) Who Empire Partners Is Built For(01:04:11) Three Keys to Better Sales ConversationsRyan closed 75% on a rented sales team with 90 minutes of training.

A $40,000-a-year law firm assistant walks into a marketing conference in Scottsdale and decides she needs to be on the stage. Within a few years, Sarah Laws scaled to six figure clients, building a 150-partner company and founding one of the most respected masterminds in the small business automation space. She did it without a degree, without a plan, and without waiting for permission.What makes Sarah different is not the revenue. It is the clarity. She built every business around time freedom, not financial milestones, and she will tell you the biggest thing holding most entrepreneurs back is the story they tell themselves about what they deserve to charge. If you are stuck trading hours for dollars and wondering how to break into recurring revenue or premium consulting, this conversation will rewire how you think about pricing, community, and what it actually takes to scale.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction(03:25) Growing Up in an Entrepreneur Family(05:23) Widowed at 21: The Wake Up Call(10:53) From $40K to Partner of the Year(22:05) Starting Martini Mastermind(28:15) Becoming CEO of Fullstack Marketing(40:48) The Power of Recurring Revenue(49:23) Building an AI Tool for Physician Contracts(55:58) ClosingSarah said seeing a peer's invoice changed everything about her pricing.

One Wim Hof seminar in LA was all it took. On the drive home, he decided to leave a senior director position at a Fortune 500 company, walk away from a VP track, and build something completely unproven. Michael Roviello went from Navy helicopter rescue swimmer to corporate executive to co-founding Optimyze, a wellness brand with four locations across the Phoenix metro, all bootstrapped with no outside investors. Michael Roviello's core argument: entrepreneurs are over-investing in biohacking gadgets and under-investing in the simple routines that actually regulate their nervous system. If you are grinding through burnout and wondering why no supplement or cold plunge protocol is fixing it, this conversation will reframe everything.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (04:06) What Is Optimyze?(10:34) From Navy to Entrepreneur(18:13) Building Brick and Mortar From Scratch(33:16) Ice Baths as a Meditation Tool(38:52) Why We Need More Stress Not Less(42:34) Military Stress Training for Business(52:23) Nervous System Regulation for Founders(01:16:33) Community as Competitive Advantage(01:29:10) Three Things Entrepreneurs Should Do TodayMichael says entrepreneurs actually need MORE stress not less.

A stroke at 27 nearly ended her career before it started. She had to relearn how to speak, sold her PR agency in New York City, and pivoted into coaching before the industry even existed. Twenty-five years later, Dena Patton has built a coaching practice with a 96% close rate, routinely earns six figures from a single keynote, and has guided businesses from startups to $100 million companies.What makes Dena different is what she refuses to do. She turned down the multi-million dollar coaching model on purpose. She believes the coaches who survive the next five years won't be the loudest, they'll be the ones delivering extraordinary results. If you are building a coaching business, a service business, or any business where you are the product, this conversation will change how you think about mindset coaching, high ticket offers, and long term brand building.(00:00) Introduction(05:07) Pivoting Into Coaching Before It Was Cool(15:02) Her Biggest Mistake(19:08) The Certification Trap and Fear(26:12) Know the Game You Are Playing(35:07) Mindset at Scale(42:18) Why Elite Performers Still Need Coaches(47:07) Bigger Business Bigger Breakdowns(57:09) Making Six Figures From One SpeechSubscribe for weekly episodes and interviews that reveal the true work behind business growth and the stories most people skip.Connect with Michael R HunterInstagram: https://instagram.com/michaelrhunter2026 Creator trends from analyzing $1B of payment data.

A $150 million budget, 500 sales reps, a multi-billion dollar acquisition, DOJ investigations, and a boardroom seat before age 35. That is the resume Jessica Marx carried into entrepreneurship when she founded Tailored Premier, an advisory firm that works with seven figure founders. Jessica believes revenue is a participation trophy, and the founders celebrating it the loudest are often the ones paying themselves $50K a year while working 70 hour weeks. This episode covers the infrastructure gap between six figure habits and eight figure business models, from offer profitability to the financial triangle every founder needs but almost none have built. If you are stuck between seven and eight figures and cannot figure out why, this conversation was made for you.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction(06:26) Why Sales Is Really Service(10:47) From College to Buying a Home at 24(18:22) When to Leave Corporate for a Startup(24:01) Why the Big Payday Felt Empty(27:31) What Seven Figure Founders Are Missing(31:33) Revenue Is a Participation Trophy(42:30) Why Your Numbers Are Lying to You(46:44) Tax Strategist vs CPA(54:59) How Big Should You Build?(01:10:30) How to Work with Tailored PremierDrop a comment: She audits million dollar companies and says she would not buy most of them.

Forty five days. That is how long it took to go from $11,000 a month to $160,000 a month using a low ticket offer and a calendar link on a thank you page. Jason Wojo started in a college dorm flipping Pokemon cards, dropped out, moved to Orlando with $2,300 a month in income, and built one of the largest paid ads agencies in the world before turning 28. Today he spends over $25,000 a day on Facebook ads and books 90 to 110 demos daily for his webinar and done for you ads programs.What makes Jason different is what he stopped doing. He stopped chasing cheap leads, stopped running book-a-call funnels, and stopped pretending that more volume solves a trust problem. His entire scaling strategy is built on one belief: we are in a trust recession, not a money recession. If you are running ads, building a service business, or trying to figure out why your sales team keeps churning, this conversation will reframe how you think about growth.

You do not need a perfect idea. You need a real opportunity, fast decisions, and enough reps to compound. In this episode of the Six Fig Podcast, Michael R Hunter sits down with Kevin Richards, the operator behind major online growth runs including Buy.com (scaled to $123M in year one), plus leadership roles with Kajabi and ClickFunnels. Kevin talks about what actually drives results behind the scenes: committing to one direction, making “60 percent certainty” decisions before you feel ready, and choosing partnerships that accelerate execution instead of slowing it down. They also cover the moments most people skip: why venture capital can kill founder motivation, why “passion projects” often stall, and how to build a business and a life without missing what matters.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction(01:10) The One Trait Behind Every Breakout Company(02:17) Accidental Entrepreneur and The First Partner Move(03:47) The $38K Goal That Shaped His Early Mindset(07:12) Losing The One Client and The $42K Decision(15:53) The Buy.com Build and The Small Decisions That Changed Everything(19:25) $123M in Year One and The Chaos of Hypergrowth(24:22) Leadership Mistakes, Empathy, and Clarity(30:33) $1M Cash in the Bank and Why It Changed The Game(34:10) The Operator Advantage: Find a Real Business, Not an Idea(49:18) The Launch Ladder: From Under $60K to Seven Figures(53:51) $1M in Ten Minutes and The ClickFunnels 2.0 Launch(1:04:47) Why Community Beats Information in the AI Era(1:34:08) The One Regret: Missing Moments With Your Kids(1:42:32) Faith, Identity, and What He Works on NowConnect with Michael R HunterInstagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/michaelrhunter⁠Connect with Kevin: Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/KevinRRichards/ ⁠Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/krrichards/ ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kevinrrichards/ ⁠2026 Creator trends from analyzing $1B of payment data.

Many businesses undercharge because they want to compete. This gym is doing the exact opposite. Doug Wood built Arizona’s most expensive gym, Hive Fit Club, as a premium wellness club for high performers who have more money than time. In this episode, he talks about how the idea was born from a pain point, why he stopped apologizing for premium pricing, and what it took to cash flow a brick-and-mortar concept through delays, doubt, and zero guarantees. Doug also shares the hard years most people never talk about, including covering payroll with credit cards, spending a decade in debt, and learning what “investment season” really looks like before the next harvest shows up. This conversation is for founders who want to build something premium, stay disciplined when money starts coming in, and win by creating a high-touch culture that puts people first.Chapters(00:00) Introduction (02:53) Doug’s First Exposure To Entrepreneurship(06:18) The Lesson From Doug’s First Business(15:49) “Investment Season” And Playing The Long Game(22:15) How Doug Got Introduced To Optavia(30:28) How Fast He Hit His First Six Figures(39:07) Why He Built Valor After Optavia Took Off(48:01) How Hive Fit Club Came To Life(01:02:12) Handling Hate And Leading With Bold MarketingWhat price are you avoiding because you are still afraid to fully own the value of your offer?

Your life can be falling apart while your business is still asking you to lead. Aaron Velky is the founder of Living Vision and a coach to 7 and 8 figure leaders who want a clearer vision, stronger execution, and a business that supports their life. In this episode, Aaron explains why he “dropped all the plates” and kept only three priorities, the hidden rules of raising capital, and why entrepreneurship is a sequencing game where most people try to do step four before step one. He also breaks down how he rebuilt by going all in on relationships, how a single hour on stage produced six figures in business, and why bigger numbers always demand bigger responsibility. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of order, this will give you a cleaner sequence and a more honest way forward.Chapters (00:00) Introduction(03:12) How Aaron’s entrepreneurship story really started(07:30) The shift into coaching and what changed during COVID(10:32) The $16K in the bank moment and leading through panic(15:21) Reactive versus strategic and why most pivots fail(19:21) The real rules of raising capital and when not to do it(29:56) The Phoenix reset and rebuilding faster the second time(36:32) Entrepreneurship is a sequence game(44:23) The six figure day and the responsibility behind it(52:08) Why most leaders cannot answer what they actually want(01:19:46) Vision as decision making and how teams stop relying on you(01:31:03) If he had to rebuild from zero: the 90 day planWhat is the next income or business level you say you want, but your mind still does not believe you are allowed to have?Subscribe for weekly episodes and interviews that reveal the true work behind business growth and the stories most people skip.Connect with Michael R HunterInstagram: https://instagram.com/michaelrhunterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelrhunterWebsite: https://michaelrhunter.comConnect with Aaron Website: https://living.vision/ X: https://x.com/AaronVelky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronvelky/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@aaronvelky Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronvelky/ Let's make your brand impossible to ignore.

William Lam is the founder of UPGRD and a certified NLP Master Practitioner who teaches high performers how to upgrade their mind and emotional system.

Jaden Easton is the founder of Clever Scaling and is known for helping entrepreneurs turn communities into clients, including helping 17 people generate over one million dollars.

You are going to suffer either way. In business, you either endure the discomfort that builds you, or you avoid it and pay for it later. Akshay Nanavati is a Marine veteran, author of Fearvana, and polar explorer who attempted a coast to coast crossing that had never been done before. In this episode, Akshay discusses how entrepreneurs can choose the right kind of suffering by building self imposed structure, acting in the face of fear, and why stillness can be harder than the grind. If you are building a business and you feel stuck, the goal is not to avoid pain. The goal is to stop adding suffering on top of it, so you can execute.Chapters(00:00) Introduction (03:13) From The Marines To Entrepreneurship (05:35) The Structure Problem Most Entrepreneurs Face (17:59) Pain Vs Pleasure As A Motivator (23:41) Fearvana And Reframing “Bad” Emotions(30:38) Why Avoiding Hard Things Makes Life Worse(39:12) The Antarctica Vision And Raising $1.1 Million(44:25) Losing Two Fingers And Still Going Back(54:01) Validation, Failure, And Why It Still Mattered(1:15:20) The Medical Call That Ended The Expedition(1:21:13) What He Is Building NextWhat is one hard thing you will choose to overcome this month that will actually build your business?

I have built campaigns and strategies that have generated over $43M in revenue for clients, and through Spiffy Checkouts we have supported over $1B in customer revenue.This show exists because most business advice skips the part that matters most. The slow seasons, the late nights, the skill building, and the messy middle that looks boring until it compounds.The number one myth in business is that there is a fast path to success. If it feels slow, hard, and messy, that is not a sign you are failing. It is usually a sign you are building something real.Welcome to the Six Fig Podcast.Connect with Michael R HunterInstagram: https://instagram.com/michaelrhunterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelrhunterWebsite: https://michaelrhunter.comLet's make your brand impossible to ignore.
