About this listen

Stay Broke Podcast — Building Sustainable Success, One Story at a Time The Stay Broke Podcast, hosted by Randy Kerr, is where real entrepreneurs, small business owners, and industry experts sit down to have honest, unscripted conversations about what it really takes to build, scale, and sustain a business in today’s world. Born out of Stay Broke Business Consulting (SBBC), the Stay Broke Podcast carries the same mission: to shine a light on small business owners and entrepreneurs while educating and inspiring others who are chasing their version of success. This isn’t your typical “get rich quick” business show — it’s about the grind, the setbacks, the pivots, and the purpose behind staying disciplined and reinvesting in yourself and your business. Every episode dives deep into the personal and professional journeys of people making an impact — from local legends and small-town startups to seasoned business leaders and innovators. Guests have included names like Brad Walker (Launch Wake Forest), Jennifer Wood (The Burger Shop), James “JD” Broderick (JB’s Pool Care), Michael Donato (KnifePurveyor), Michael Chase (Capstone Design Group), and many others who represent the heart and hustle of entrepreneurship. Whether we’re talking about navigating the challenges of small business ownership, developing leadership and culture, learning from failure, or adapting to new technology and trends, every conversation aims to give you practical insight you can apply in your own business or career. We also highlight community — because small business success doesn’t happen in isolation. From local initiatives like Launch Wake Forest to the importance of mentorship, education, and collaboration, this show connects real stories with real resources. The “Stay Broke” philosophy is simple but powerful: Don’t spend like you’ve made it — build like you’re still climbing. Stay hungry. Stay disciplined. Stay broke. Through transparency and storytelling, we break down the myths of entrepreneurship and replace them with truth, experience, and a sense of shared purpose. Each episode delivers both motivation and education, helping you see that success isn’t about how fast you grow — it’s about how long you last. If you’re an entrepreneur, small business owner, side hustler, tradesman, or anyone trying to turn passion into progress — this podcast is for you. Tune in weekly for conversations that inspire action, challenge your mindset, and remind you why you started in the first place. Recorded in Wake Forest, North Carolina — but built for dreamers and doers everywhere. Watch full episodes on YouTube and follow us on your favorite podcast platform. Subscribe, stay plugged in, and remember — Stay Broke isn’t about being broke. It’s about staying focused.Copyright 2026 Stay Broke Business Consulting Economics Social Sciences
