Chris Koerner shares 11 businesses that listeners started after hearing the podcast, plus a lightning round of ten more. Every figure is self-reported and unaudited. Each story comes with a "copy this" version covering pricing, first customer, and tools.
Standouts: Andrew's mailbox repair grew into HOA masonry work (best month $80K); David's Christmas light contracts netted $35K in season two; Cam's pickleball courts did $500K since February; Tom's vending at a hockey rink makes $12K a month. Appliance rental drew customers fast but two people quit it. Graham's porch pumpkin flop shows low-income markets resist premium pricing. Patterns: cheap, direct first moves, day jobs kept, and the first business rarely becomes the final one.
