Joe Guerrero—creator of After Prison Show and the Joe Does Stuff channel—joins Josh to unpack how he went from seven years inside to millions of views, media coverage, and a second act in construction and home services. Beyond virality, Joe shares the business-side realities every small company faces: hiring friends vs. employees, taxes and structure, brand control, and what to do when competitors clone your best ideas.
👉 Why authenticity scales—and how to keep control of your brand as you grow
👉 Fear vs. winning: the mindset shift that separates plateaus from pivots
👉 Diversification done right (and wrong): when to double down vs. spin up a new line
👉 Hiring, contractors, and “Entourage” traps: paying people, boundaries, and standards
👉 Social strategy for traditional businesses: start with your phone, focus on human connection, and use TikTok/YouTube as free distribution
You’ll leave with practical takeaways on simplifying your offer, pricing confidence, and building customer trust—whether you sell managed services or drywall.
