0014 - The Hard Truth About Time, Pricing, and Burnout

This episode is a hard and honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, and why I’m stepping back.I talk openly about the real cost of running a business, building a community, and giving away too much time for too long. Not just financially, but emotionally. This is why I moved everything back to Patreon, why I’m pulling back in some areas, and why valuing your time and pricing correctly matters more than most people want to admit.If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck working nonstop without getting ahead, this episode is for you. There is hope, but it starts with valuing your time.✨Helpful Links:Patreon: https://dtnay.com/supportFacebook group: https://dtnay.com/fbgroupWebsite: https://timetomakesomething.comPayment Processor: https://dtnay.com/paymentsMy CRM: https://dtnay.com/ghlAmazon Store: https://dtnay.com/amazonSome links are affiliate links.

0013 - Outsourcing, Equipment, and Long-Term Growth

In this episode, I sit down with David from B5 Creative to talk through something almost everyone in print and promotional products wrestles with at some point: equipment. When to buy it, when to outsource, and how those decisions actually affect the business long term. We get into what it’s really like balancing a full-time job while running a print business, why owning every machine isn’t always the answer, and how our thinking around equipment has changed over time.We also talk about education, relationships, and why being a problem-solver for your customers matters more than having the latest gear. A lot of this conversation comes back to playing the long game, building trust, and focusing on sustainable growth instead of chasing every new opportunity or shiny machine. It’s not a sales pitch or a highlight reel, just an honest conversation between people actually in it.Video Sponsor: FireSprintNeed a wholesale supplier for yard signs, stickers, or foamcore?

0012 - Answer the Phone: The Simplest Business Lesson I Ignored Too Long

Phones are one of the most overlooked parts of running a small business, and for a long time, mine was a problem. In this episode of the PrintFam Podcast, Daniel from CLT Geek and I talk through why I hate answering the phone, how spam calls and interruptions kill focus, and why not answering calls absolutely costs you real business.We break down a simple, affordable phone setup using GoHighLevel, a cordless analog phone, and an ATA adapter, plus when it makes sense to use a live answering service instead of hiring in-house. The takeaway is simple: just answering the phone can win you business you never expected. We also talk about automation, text options, and how to stop the owner from being the bottleneck.GoHighLevel (CRM + phone system) - https://dtnay.com/ghlATA adapter (analog telephone adapter) - https://dtnay.com/ataCLT Geek (Daniel’s company) - https://www.cltgeek.com/#7✨Helpful Links:Website: https://timetomakesomething.comPayment Processor: https://dtnay.com/paymentsMy CRM: https://dtnay.com/ghlAmazon Store: https://dtnay.com/amazonSome links are affiliate links.
