    May 7 2025

    This isn’t about hype. It’s about time, math, and using both to your advantage.

  • 85: Building a Seven-Figure Hands Off Business with Trina Julian
    Apr 23 2025

    What do free lunch money, a horse, and a seven-figure landscaping company have in common? Trina Julian.

    In this episode, Jess and Brandon dive into how Trina built Country Girl Gardens from a $10K side hustle into a seven-figure business—all with one goal in mind: freedom. From day one, she designed her company to run without her, documenting every process, system, and role. So when a horseback riding accident sidelined her, the business kept thriving—thanks to her standard operating procedures.

    Her exit wasn’t luck. It was strategy.

    Now, Trina’s on a mission to help service-based entrepreneurs build businesses that run and sell without them. If you’re stuck in a business that feels more like a job, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Listen in for real talk on building wealth, scaling smarter, and creating a business that doesn’t own you.
