27. Your Secret Weapon for Referrals and Retention - with Shaun Buck
10/27/21 • 70 min
Shaun has a unique story. He had his first son at just 16 years of age and made the life-changing decision to raise him on his own. This choice both inspired and motivated him to become the successful man he is today.
Shaun Buck has been a serial entrepreneur for over 15 years and currently owns and operates The Newsletter Pro, based out of Boise, Idaho. Although The Newsletter Pro has only been operating since 2011, Shaun and his 60+ member team have grown the company into the nation’s largest custom print newsletter company, printing and mailing millions of newsletters annually for diverse industries spread across four countries.
In 2015, Shaun and The Newsletter Pro landed at No. 120 on the Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Companies list with a shocking growth rate of 2,975%, and reached No. 343 in 2016. He was awarded Marketer of the Year, and his company, The Newsletter Pro, was voted Best Place to Work in Idaho in 2016, 2017, and again in 2018.
Why newsletters? Because we believed in them, we were passionate about them, and more importantly, we knew how to make them successful.

26. How To Exponentially Grow Your Business Without You - with Keith Lee
When Keith Lee sold his business, American Retail Supply, in 2015 it was the largest retail supply company in the US. How did he do it? It was the systems he put in place, he spent all of my time on important things, not menial things. Starting with customer service.
During the 25 years of owning the company, he taught his team the importance of customer service and creating systems that support it. The result was a customer base that chose to do business with them even if they weren't the cheapest... and often... they weren't.
In this episode Keith shares some of the incredible gold nuggets of wisdom he has gained over the years. All of which can be found in his book "The Happy Customer Handbook."
Then we take the conversation a step further by digging into the principles he implemented to grow his business even when he wasn't there.
I would highly recommend learning more about Keith by visiting his website: https://keithlee.com/

28. How Personal Growth Precedes Business Growth - with Douglas McClure
In short, Douglas McClure is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and business consultant. But he makes it very clear that his passion is in business development and child development. Those are two things in which he has proven a great deal of success.
This has been my longest podcast recording to date. And if I had 4 more hours, I would have continued the conversation.
In this conversation, we discuss the principles that he learned and lived by to build successful businesses and raise a remarkable family. The premise is that we all start, grow, and exit. But Douglas lays out the things to live by if you want to do it successfully.
Two of the many things he shares with us are:
- The McClure Core 4
- Master T.O.D.A.Y.
Get out your notebook, and get ready to learn and grow.
