I bet if you walk in your kitchen or around your home you’ll have one of their products. This is one of my absolute favorite interviews to date…I sat down with Mike Beckham, the co-founder and CEO of Simple Modern. You. Don’t. Want. To. Miss. It. You may have seen Simple Modern on the shelves on your local Target, Walmart, or all over Amazon, however, Mike Beckham didn’t dream of a career in drinkware or create a business born out of “passion”. Instead, Simple Modern is the result of strategic, calculated research for a defensible, sustainable, high-quality product that fits a market need. Regardless if your business is in front of space for consumer packaged goods, this 45min will massively benefit your business for life. Tune In to Learn: Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better - Is growing your business always the best strategy? Mike reveals why scaling too fast can be a pitfall. The Escape Velocity of Consumer Goods - What’s 'escape velocity' in consumer goods, and why is it crucial for success? We break it all down. The Real Challenges of Hyper-Growth - Simple Modern experienced doubling revenue (which sounds great in theory) but are there hidden challenges?

A common misunderstanding with business owners is that they don’t truly understand the difference between a business that is growing and a business that is scaling. They see signs of growth and get super excited that they’re business is gaining traction, but with that, they’re expenses are also increasing at the same rate as the growth. So in turn, they’re not actually scaling. And that’s because they’re not actively and constantly measuring the KPIs that determine how to scale a business. Today, I’m diving into what these KPIs are, plus some additional ways to stop creating a job for yourself, and instead create a well-oiled machine that can generate revenue on its own.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: A concrete example showing the difference between growth and scale The most important KPIs you need to measure to start scaling The most common, and detrimental, “diseases” that I see many business owners adopt When and how to scale   RESOURCES Buy your ticket for the next Wealth & Business Summit on November 9-11 in Scottsdale, AZ.

How can you tackle debt and create a path to financial freedom? Episode Overview: Debt—it's the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about, but if we don’t address it head-on, it can seriously derail our ability to build wealth. In this episode of The Candy Valentino Show, we’re diving into the realities of debt in America, why creating a debt payoff plan is crucial for your financial future, and actionable steps you can take to eliminate it for good. Key Points: Create a Budget: Track your income and expenses to identify where your money is going and free up funds to tackle debt. Generate Extra Income: Look for creative ways to earn more, such as freelancing, selling unused items, or starting a side hustle.

When I was first introduced to Dr. Alex Hershaft, I was immediately inspired by his tenacity and passion. Not only is he an animal rights pioneer and founder of Farm Animals Rights Movement (FARM), but he’s also a Holocaust survivor.  In our conversation, he details his tumultuous journey from a Warsaw ghetto to eventually immigrating to the US alone at the age of 16. He shares how his early life has given him a unique perspective on freedom and autonomy, which has rippled into his work as an animal rights activist. We discuss the reality of factory farming, getting traction for a movement, and Alex’s refreshing attitude on overcoming adversity.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Choosing to be a survivor, not a victim  Alex’s journey to becoming a vegetarian (and now vegan)  The pivotal moment when Alex noticed parallels between the Holocaust and the abuse of farm animals  How Alex and the team at FARM brought the concept of animal rights into the public consciousness  The importance of living in integrity and alignment with your values, even if it goes against the status quo    RESOURCES:  Learn more from me and proven business experts by signing up for one of my many  online courses.   CONNECT WITH ALEX  Learn more on Alex’s website: alexhershaft.com  Follow Alex on Twitter: @AlexHershaft    CONNECT WITH CANDY Follow me: @candyvalentino Buy your copy of Wealth Habits: wealthhabitsbook.com Join Founders Organization  Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you planned out your holiday spending? As the holidays approach, excitement builds, but so can financial stress. For many Americans, the holidays bring more than just seasonal cheer—they bring debt. With nearly 28% of credit card users still paying off last year’s holiday expenses, now is the time to rethink how to enjoy the season without financial strain. This episode dives deep into strategies for a debt-free holiday, so you can focus on what truly matters. Key Points: Set a Holiday-Specific Budget: Create categories for travel, gifts, meals, and decorations to get a clear picture of what this season will cost.  Reallocate and Save Look for extra funds by canceling subscriptions you’re not using or negotiating utility costs. Shop Early and Smart: Beat the rush and avoid last-minute spending by shopping early.  Get Creative: Give Meaning, Not Expense: Rethink gift-giving by focusing on experiences or handmade items. Gifts from the heart, like homemade cookies or candles, can have far more value than high-cost purchases. Limit Temptation: Unsubscribe from retailer emails, turn off app notifications and avoid malls if you’re likely to overspend.  Happy Holidays, and remember: Financial peace is the best gift you can give yourself this season!
