About this listen

You know those conversations with your entrepreneur buddy where you’re throwing ideas around, laughing at the bad ones, and giving each other shit along the way?


That’s this podcast. Twice a week.


We’re Ben and Jon — two guys who’ve been building businesses online for over a decade. We’ve been part of 8-figure companies. We’re doing it again right now.


We made this for people like us: addicted to business, can’t turn it off, don’t want to.


Most business podcasts? People are performing. They hold back. They’re worried about how it sounds.


We don’t.


We talk about whatever we’re obsessed with — businesses we’d buy, plays we’re seeing, questions we’re asking ourselves.


Business is simple. People are lazy.


New episodes Mondays and Wednesdays.

  • She Runs an Amazon Business Without Physical Products — Ep. 19
    Jan 26 2026

    Building a business on Amazon does not require inventory, shipping, or physical products. Fiction publishing through Amazon ebooks has quietly become one of the most scalable digital business models, even for people with no prior experience.


    Karla explains how her company, Fiction Profits Academy (https://www.fictionprofitsacademy.com/), has helped over 15,000 students by focusing on genre demand, repeat buyers, and execution instead of guesswork.


    The discussion covers how modern fiction publishing works, why romance and genre fiction outperform nonfiction, and why covers, titles, keywords, and positioning matter more than most people realize. It also looks at how AI, ghostwriters, and teams are used responsibly to scale output.


    If you care about business, entrepreneurship, ecommerce, or alternative Amazon models that do not rely on physical products, this will change how you think about opportunity.

  • Psychology Tricks Behind OF’s $5B Business — Ep. 18
    Jan 19 2026

    In part one on OF, we showed how creators build relationships using the FAKE Framework. This week focuses on the CASH Framework: crisis creation, anniversary exploitation, scarcity theater, and hierarchy games. These are the psychological triggers creators use to extract maximum revenue from their audience, and they work shockingly well.


    Fake emergencies, guilt trips, birthday extraction sequences, countdown timers that never end, leaderboards, and tiered membership systems all play a role in how these tactics drive revenue. Businesses in every industry already use versions of them. Some of it is genius marketing. Some of it crosses ethical lines. All of it generates revenue at scale.


    If you run a business, this episode will change how you think about urgency, scarcity, and customer psychology. It shows what works, what is manipulative, and where the line should be.

  • This Guy Shares the $20K/Month Skill No One Talks About — Ep. 17
    Jan 12 2026

    High ticket closing is a skill in online business that can generate real income without starting a company, running ads, or building products. Why do some people choose closing over starting a business, and why has it quietly become one of the most valuable skills in entrepreneurship for people who want leverage without ownership?


    Kayvon Kay talks with Ben and Jon about how closers convert qualified leads for businesses that already have demand. What makes companies trust closers with their revenue, and why does conviction matter more than scripts?


    Closers work remotely, sell proven offers, and focus entirely on revenue while avoiding the operational headaches of running a company. For the right person, closing can outperform starting a business in speed, focus, and upside.
