ep. 255 Why Businesses Fail w/ Jeff Fenster

Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! Today’s episode is going to blow your mind as we take you behind the scenes of Infinity Live, featuring a powerful conversation with Jeff Fenster—serial entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of EverBowl, one of the fastest-growing franchises in America. In this candid and energizing session, Jeff breaks down how businesses truly scale, the underrated power of options, and the real reason most companies fail. This is not your average fluffy business chat—this is an unfiltered masterclass in growth, innovation, and entrepreneurial grit.
Topics Covered:
Why options are the single most important thing in business survival
The myth of experience: why waiting until you're “ready” is overrated
How Jeff built EverBowl without any restaurant background—and made it thrive
The two repeatable problems in business you must solve to scale
How vertical integration (construction and supply chain) saved his company
What COVID taught Jeff about staying agile and thinking in opportunities
Why “relationship capital” is real currency for entrepreneurs
The story behind landing EverBowl on QVC and getting 500 franchise leads
How to build meaningful relationships by making deposits, not withdrawals
Real talk on leadership, pivoting, and building a brand rooted in purpose
 
Companies fail and people go out of business for one reason: they run out of options. That's it. The big other mistake a lot of entrepreneurs make is thinking that they have to be bigger before they focus on scale. That is a dangerous game. Every air pilot in the world is taught that altitude is your friend. Why? Because if you have a problem in an airplane, the higher you are, the more time you have to figure it out before you hit the ground. So options come from scale. Scale comes from mitigation of problems. And so, if you run out of money, you run out of options. If I don't have any money, I can't pay my bills. If I run out of product, I can't sell product. I run out of options because I don't have product to sell, so I have to do something else. I was just trying to figure out how to stay alive and stay in business today. And I was able to do that because I had options—because we vertically integrated and solved repeatable problems before I even knew I was going to need them. And it's not that we were so brilliant. We weren't. We were just doing the things that gave us options. What tool do we have for the current issue in front of us? – Fenster

ep. 254 Bounce Back Rate w/ Chris Harder

Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! Today’s episode is an inspiring behind-the-scenes conversation with Chris Harder, renowned entrepreneur and business mentor, recorded live at the Infinity event. Chris and Jillian dig deep into what it really takes to thrive as a business owner in today’s economy. They get brutally honest about overcoming setbacks, adapting to shifting market conditions, and the realities of risk, resilience, and making smart business pivots. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale to seven or eight figures, this episode is packed with practical insights and real talk you won’t hear anywhere else.
Topics Covered:
Why sales cycles are longer and buyers are more cautious right now (and what to do about it)
How to find true product-market fit and market “to the times”
Risk tolerance, comeback rates, and why innovation is your best friend
Real talk: Facing business failures, sudden setbacks, and how to bounce back
The importance of your community and mentors in helping you recover from challenges
Honest breakdown of the current economic landscape—what it means for your sales, your offers, and your customers
The power of perspective: why things might not be as “doom and gloom” as they seem
Why adapting your message (and sometimes your products) is key to surviving tough seasons
Building long-term mentorship relationships and the real value of staying in the room
Why certainty and trusted partnerships can be more valuable than chasing a “better deal”
“Overnight, we went from being weeks away from flipping the on switch on, two years of work, three million dollars in, to nothing. Absolutely nothing. There's nothing we could do with this platform in that moment. That was the worst, the absolute worst of my professional career, for sure. And I've had some pretty low lows. It began a trickle-down effect of all sorts of challenging things happening. Had a stroke, I'm blind in this eye, 50% blind in this eye, all sorts of things. My business partner, Matt, was a tremendous resource for saying, "Oh well, let's find our pivot and let's go." My friends who have already been in this situation, who have already built massive eight, nine, even ten-figure companies, shared their stories with me. "Hey, that same thing happened to me, only it was food products. Hey, that same thing happened to me, only it was real estate." They were able to give me guidance and they were able to kick me back in the game. My wife was able to kick me back in the game. My brother was able to support and kick me back in the game. So the people that you have around you are what are going to absolutely matter the most when that bad thing happens and cause that comeback rate, if you will, to be that much quicker.” – Chris

ep. 251 Relationships to Increase Visibility as an Entrepreneur w/ Charity Majors

Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! In today’s episode, Jillian brings back a fan-favorite guest and longtime friend, Charity Majors, for a powerful conversation on collaboration, community, and visibility in business. As the founder of Business and Bubbly, a national networking platform for women, Charity is a speaker, author, and expert on building what she calls connection capital. Together, Jillian and Charity unpack the true power of relationships—beyond just clients—and how nurturing those connections can fuel long-term success, stage opportunities, and growth as an entrepreneur.
This episode is an inspiring reminder that sometimes the big domino in your business isn’t another funnel or freebie—but stepping up as a thought leader through speaking, writing, and serving others first.
Topics Covered:
The difference between clients, collaborators, and cheerleaders—and why all three matter
How to build connection capital and nurture relationships that open doors
The law of reciprocity in collaborations and visibility
Why serving first makes the ask feel natural, not icky
The power of cross-pollinating audiences and leveraging platforms like podcasts and events

The “big domino” concept and why becoming a speaker or author may be the move that changes everything
Personal stories of rep-building, mentorship, and long-game strategy for getting noticed
"So finding the big domino is actually doing things like getting published, speaking, being an author, getting media appearances. And so I all of a sudden stopped creating the freebies and the landing pages and the offers and the email sequences. I already had a crap ton of those going on and I went on a mission to learn, to be a better communicator, to speak, to be on stages, to speak, to have my own stage, to publish a book."
