Lessons Learned from a Failed Company to Becoming the Entrepreneur he is Today w/Brad Starnes
Today we have another in person episode for you.
This is someone that to be honest, has made such a big impact on who I am today, and he probably doesn’t even know it.
I’ve been “coaching” and helping people with their personal brands and businesses far before I ever launched Builders of Authority.
And so often I would offer help and people would look at what I’ve done and make every excuse in the book as to why it was “too much”.
Not today’s guest.
And today’s guest has gone through an incredible journey. With plenty of ups and downs and challenges. He could have made excuses at every step in the journey, but he’s resilient and for that, I can’t thank him enough.
He’s a member of our BOA Mastermind and one of my 1-1 Inner Circle coaching clients.
My guest today is Brad Starnes.
He is the Owner of Screamin Cow Marketing Group and the Host of the Unfair Advantage Podcast.
Brad’s Bio:
As the CEO & President of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, I lead St. Louis' premier marketing agency dedicated to elevating Home Service and Professional Service businesses. With a knack for strategic innovation and a passion for transformative marketing, my journey to the forefront of the industry is a testament to resilience, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Before beginning on the entrepreneurial path that led me to Screamin Cow, I founded Splitsy, a fintech venture that revolutionized how we manage shared expenses. Under my leadership, Splitsy not only secured a significant 6-figure crowdfunding investment but also earned a coveted spot in Equifax's inaugural accelerator program. My efforts were recognized when I was honored as the 2021 Bloch School Entrepreneur of The Year, a milestone that highlights my commitment to disrupting the status quo.
Despite the challenges that led to Splitsy's closure, my entrepreneurial spirit never wavered. The experience taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, leading me to a pivotal role in business development in St. Louis. This role set the stage for the creation of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, which, under my guidance, has seen remarkable growth. In just a year, we've built a talented team and are on the brink of surpassing six figures in revenue, with 2024 shaping up to be a year of exponential growth.
Beyond my professional pursuits, my faith and the support of my family are my guiding lights. As a man of Christ who navigates the world with a stutter, I've learned the power of authentic communication and perseverance. My dedication to service is evident through my volunteer work with organizations like Missouri Boys State, and my commitment to building and nurturing both my personal brand and those around me. My driving force is my wife, our two dogs, and the future we're crafting together. Their support fuels my ambition and serves as a constant reminder of why I strive for greatness every day.
