We’re shifting our upload schedule from three times a week to two. Instead of Mo-Wed-Fri, we’ll now be posting every Tuesday and Friday. With all the new formats we’re producing, three a week became tough to keep at the level we want. This new cadence will help us keep the quality high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sat down with Marcus Lemonis, someone I’ve admired for over fifteen years, and we talked about business, purpose, regret, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. Marcus opened up about his wins and losses, why he gave away millions with no expectation of return, and how he thinks about entrepreneurship in a world shaped by AI. We also got into The Profit, The Fixer, and why your gift comes with responsibility. I loved this conversation and I think you will too.</p><p>He also shared his newest big idea, which is building an “everything home” ecosystem through Bed Bath and Beyond, Bye Bye Baby, and blockchain tech. It’s one of the most ambitious concepts I’ve heard in a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can find Marcus here:<br /></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/marcuslemonis" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://twitter.com/marcuslemonis</a><br />Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/marcuslemonis" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://instagram.com/marcuslemonis</a><br />TikTok: <a href="https://tiktok.com/@marcuslemonis" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://tiktok.com/@marcuslemonis</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And you can watch his new show The Fixer on Fox, Fox Business, and Hulu.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy! </p><p>---</p><p>Watch this on <strong>YouTube</strong> instead here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thekoerneroffice?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">tkopod.co/p-yt</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Ask me a question</strong> on or off the show here: <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-ask" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-ask</a></p><p>Learn more about <strong>me:</strong> <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-cjk" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-cjk</a></p><p>Learn about <strong>my company: </strong><a href="http://tkopod.co/p-cof" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-cof</a></p><p>Follow me on <strong>Twitter</strong> here: <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-x" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-x</a></p><p><a href="http://tkopod.co/p-x" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a>Free weekly <strong>business ideas newsletter:</strong> <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-nl" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-nl</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Share this podcast:</strong> <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-all" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-all</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Scrape</strong> small <strong>business data:</strong> <a href="http://tkopod.co/p-os" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">http://tkopod.co/p-os</a></p><p><a href="http://tkopod.co/p-os" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a>---</p>
