As people we can be our own worst enemies! Self degrading talk and self doubt is usually what holds back from unlocking our full potential. The purpose of "The Unrivaled Potential" podcast is to inspire people that are starting towards starting a business of any type whether its customer based or an online store. Sometimes it can take a lot of encouragement to take the first steps necessary to leave employment or just branch out while still working for someone. Through casual but intentional conversation we hope to inspire you to move forward and give you some of the tools below.
If You Don't Have A Vision, You're Already Finished
Ryan showed up to record an hour late because of a dentist appointment. Mike has not let it go. But somehow between the jabs and the novocaine jokes, they actually got into something worth hearing.
This episode is about mission and vision — not the framed-on-the-wall kind, but the kind that determines whether your business (and your people) have any shot at lasting. Mike gets real about working a decade with no direction, and what finally changed when he started putting his vision on paper and living it out. Ryan breaks down why skipping this step leads to one of two places: depressed and looking for an exit, or just... gone.
If you're building something and you haven't answered "why" yet — this one's for you. Profanity included. Dental work optional.

Four Things Quietly Destroying Your Business Right Now
You think you're killing it. You might actually just be killing your business.
Mike and Ryan lay out the four things that quietly sink small businesses — and the brutal truth is that most owners are doing at least two of them right now without realizing it. No marketing strategy. Waiting too long to hire. Not budgeting. And the one that makes or breaks everything: not paying yourself.
This isn't fluff. These are hard-won lessons from guys who've been through the fire — and who've watched plenty of others burn because of the same avoidable mistakes.
If you're a small business owner who's working your ass off and not seeing it translate the way you expected, this one's for you. Practical, unfiltered, and as always — a little unhinged.
Referenced in this episode: the "FU money" conversation, why referral-only businesses plateau, Mike's surprisingly chaotic work history, and the surprisingly spiritual case for putting yourself on payroll.

Your Customers Don't Know What They Need (And That's Your Job)
You're the expert. Act like it.
Mike and Ryan tackle one of the most uncomfortable truths in service business ownership: letting your customers tell you what they want is one of the fastest ways to go broke. This isn't about being pushy or manipulative — it's about showing up as the professional, asking the right questions, and actually serving people well instead of just doing whatever they ask.
From building rapport and presenting options the right way, to why "trust me" never works on its own and Amazon parts are basically a liability waiting to happen — this is a no-fluff breakdown of real-world sales for trade business owners. And honestly? Any business with customers.
Mike breaks down the mindset shift that turned him from a guy chasing volume to a guy building real customers. Ryan explains why asking the right questions is more powerful than any sales script. And both of them agree: be the grown-up in the room.
