The Koerner Office - Business Ideas, Advice & Deep Dives - TKOPOD.COM
Hey! I'm Chris Koerner. Do you have a clinical addiction to all things small business? Hey, me too! Let's be addicts together.
On this show I do deep dives on cool business ideas, growth hacks and opportunities. Sometimes that means going broad, and breaking down 4-6 ideas with a business parter or friend, and sometimes that means going super deep on one idea or topic.
I've built dozens of companies & own 7 right now, with revenues in the 10s of millions. I also buy 1-2 RV parks per month alongside partners and investors.
Episodes are released every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Email me at heychris@cofounders.com with any feedback. Enjoy!

Nik and Brandon joined me on stage, our team narrowed over 250 applicants down to 10 founders, and the three of us went in completely blind. No pitches seen beforehand, real reactions, real money on the table.Each founder got two minutes to pitch, then we dug in. At the end the audience voted for a People's Choice winner who took 10% of the night's revenue.This is the members only cut, so you're getting more of the full back and forth than the public version.

He Made $27K Last Month Connecting Contractors - Ep. #338
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my community at https://TKOwners.com ━ I sat down with Aaron Fooks, founder of Hytros, to break down the simple referral business that helped him generate $27K in a month by connecting local businesses with each other. We talked about how he went from charging $150 per introduction to selling $6,000 referral packages, the exact cold calling and texting strategy he uses to find opportunities, and why building relationships can be much more valuable than selling traditional leads. Aaron also walks through real examples of painters, electricians, landscapers, and other home service businesses landing valuable jobs through these connections.

How Anyone Can Borrow $500K at 0% Interest - Ep. #337
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my community at https://TKOwners.com ━ I sat down with Brandon Elliott. He was a busboy making $30K a year with an $80,000 credit limit, and now he uses 0% interest credit cards to fund real estate and business deals. He showed me how to get the banks to say yes, the one phone call that turns a credit limit into cash, and why a credit card you already own might be worth money to someone else. This is Brandon's method and it's aggressive. Talk to your CPA before you apply for anything.

The Most Overlooked $10K/month Business You Can Start This Weekend - Ep. #336
Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my community at https://TKOwners.com ━ I sat down with Mike Herod, who turned a simple Facebook post into a surprisingly profitable shop class business for kids. We talked about how he started with almost no money, grew it through homeschool groups and word of mouth, and eventually landed a $30,000 contract teaching just two hours every Friday. Mike breaks down exactly what tools you need, how he prices classes, where he finds customers, and why keeping the projects simple is key. We also talk about how this can stay a small weekend side hustle or grow into a much bigger business.
