Episode 1311: How to Build an Eight-Figure Education Business with Justin Montgomery

Your professional expertise could become a scalable asset that generates revenue without requiring more hours from you. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Justin Montgomery, Founder of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, who shares how he went from working as a nurse practitioner to building cash-based medical practices and an eight-figure online education company. He explains how professionals and entrepreneurs can turn specialized knowledge into continuing education courses, build an audience, and create a scalable marketing engine. Justin also reveals why valuable content, strategic outsourcing, and separating income from personal time are essential to building a business that supports financial and location independence. Key Takeaways:→ Business ownership does not automatically create freedom if the owner must personally deliver the service.→ Cash-based business models provide owners with greater control than those dependent on third-party payers. → Early failures can provide the experience and insight needed to build a successful, repeatable business model.→ Building an audience before launching a course creates a stronger foundation for generating initial sales. → A scalable education business can create financial independence, location flexibility, and a lasting impact on customers and their families.  Justin Allan Montgomery is the founder of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, a thriving business he launched in 2019 to teach nurse practitioners unique clinical and business skills, empowering them to start their own practices and break free from traditional work environments. With a background that includes a bachelor’s in biology and chemistry, a bachelor’s in nursing, and a Master of Science in nursing, Justin scaled his business to 7-figure annual revenue in just three years. By providing valuable content and addressing a major issue in his profession—lack of autonomy and underpayment—he built a scalable online course business that helped him achieve an 8-figure net worth. By working part-time while still seeing patients, he achieved financial independence before age 40, demonstrating the power of automation and passive income. Connect With Justin:Website: https://procoursestart.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574146510784LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/procoursestart/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ProCourseStart

Episode 1309: The Next Evolution of the Video Sales Letter with Jon Benson

AI can write faster, but the real breakthrough occurs when it understands the strategy behind the words. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Jon Benson, Copywriter, Entrepreneur, and AI Pioneer, who shares how his direct-response copywriting evolved into building an AI platform for long-form sales copy. He explains why his team focuses on pre-prompting, promptless AI, frameworks, and LLM-agnostic systems rather than basic chatbot-style prompting. Jon also discusses how BNSN AI interviews users like a copywriter would, researches the market, strengthens messaging, and helps marketers create copy designed to convert. Key Takeaways:→ BNSN AI was built to help marketers create direct-response copy faster and more efficiently without replacing copywriters. → Pre-prompting and promptless AI describe how this platform guides output before a traditional prompt is ever sent. → BNSN AI is designed to work with multiple LLMs.→ The system runs copy through multiple models, settings, and revisions before the user sees the final result.→ Many AI writing tools struggle because they function as simple skins on top of chatbots rather than as purpose-built copy systems.  Jon Benson is a copywriter, entrepreneur, and AI pioneer whose work has quietly shaped how the world buys online. Best known as the inventor of the Video Sales Letter, a format that became the backbone of modern digital marketing, he has spent decades writing copy that moves people to act—not through manipulation, but through what he calls “persuasion that feels good on both sides.” In 2010, Jon turned his attention to copywriting software, becoming one of the earliest pioneers at the intersection of AI and sales copy. That work eventually evolved into BNSN, a platform trained exclusively on high-converting marketing campaigns and built for small-business owners who sell good things to good people. BNSN reflects Jon’s core belief that the human element of business—community, coaching, and genuine connection—distinguishes sustainable success from a flash in the pan. Connect With Jon:Website: https://bnsn.ai/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsjonbenson/X: https://x.com/itsjonbensonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsjonbensonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonbenson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPDvmgurd-rym4pyPjviIuw

Episode 1307: Balancing Property Rights and Pet Ownership with John Bradford

Pets are part of everyday life for millions of renters, but managing them fairly and consistently has become one of the biggest challenges in rental housing. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews John R. Bradford III, Founder and CEO of PetScreening, who explains how his property management experience led him to build PetScreening as a more consistent way to manage pet policies in rental housing. He discusses how the platform helps property managers assess pet-related risk, support property owners, and set clearer expectations for pet-owning residents. He also explores broader trends in pet-inclusive housing, property rights, regulatory changes, category creation, and PetScreening’s social mission through Fido Alert. Key Takeaways:→ Property managers need clear systems because pets can pose risks, liabilities, and policy challenges. → The FIDO Score helps evaluate both the pet and the owner.→ PetScreening helps property managers enforce their own rules rather than telling them what their policies should be. → PetScreening has helped housing providers rethink blanket breed restrictions.→ Creating a new software category requires persistence, education, and continuous innovation. John R. Bradford III is the Founder and CEO of PetScreening, which he launched in 2017 with a vision to promote pet inclusivity across all areas of life. Driven by his belief that breeds such as pit bulls, German shepherds, and Rottweilers should not be judged solely on breed, John sought to create a platform that provides landlords, property managers, and businesses with data-driven insights to make informed, pet-friendly decisions. His mission is simple yet powerful: to make the world more pet-inclusive, no matter where people live, work, play, or stay. Connect With John:Website: https://www.petscreening.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-r-bradford-iii-b519184/

Episode 1305: Turn Founder-Led Sales into a Scalable Team with Josh Troy

More leads and more sales calls will not fix a revenue engine that cannot pinpoint where performance is breaking down. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Josh Troy, CEO of The WFS Group, who explains how companies can diagnose whether stalled growth comes from people, systems, sales management, training, lead routing, or an unstructured process. Josh also explains why sales efficiency matters more than surface-level volume, how founders can document their sales knowledge before handing it to a team, and where AI can enhance call analysis and revenue operations. Key Takeaways:→ Why most companies misdiagnose sales problems. → Sales problems usually fall into two categories: people issues or system issues. → Better lead routing can increase revenue and profitability. → Founders should document objection handling, talk tracks, winning and lost calls, and their sales process from the start.→ A founder who relies solely on personal credibility and instinct may struggle to translate sales success to a growing team.  Josh Troy started his first video marketing agency at 21, building it from the ground up through 100% outbound sales. Early on, he developed a belief that outbound sales is the closest thing to generating “money out of thin air,” which led him to expand his expertise into direct response inbound marketing as well. Over the past decade, and with deep experience across both outbound and inbound sales motions as well as paid media, Josh has developed a unique ability to drive rapid sales growth through talent acquisition and development engines, cultivate high-performance cultures, and build data-backed sales systems designed for aggressive scale. He is known for building integrity-driven, high-intensity sales teams and architecting scalable sales infrastructures for hyper-growth businesses. As CEO of a triple-digit-headcount sales organization, Josh leads teams that generate tens of millions annually in high-ticket sales in compliance, powered by world-class sales operations and a relentless focus on execution and performance at scale. Connect With Josh:Website: https://thewfsgroup.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troy.joshua/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-troy-09567198/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@joshuatroy

Episode 1302: The Insurance Coverage Most Drivers Overlook: Why “Full Coverage” May Not Protect You with Brent Couture

An accident can disrupt far more than a vehicle, and the decisions made in the first days can shape medical care, financial recovery, and a family’s future. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Brent Couture, an attorney at Couture Law P.A., who explains why listening is central to effective representation, the mistakes people make when managing a claim on their own, and the questions attorneys must ask to assess liability, causation, and damages. Brent also discusses why underinsured motorist coverage matters in Florida, what clients should expect from their attorney-client relationship, and how recent tort reform has shortened the time available to pursue certain claims. Key Takeaways:→ Even a seemingly minor crash can create a ripple effect across medical care, work, family responsibilities, and finances. → Every personal injury case requires careful scrutiny of liability, causation, and damages.→ Clients should be open about symptoms and prior medical conditions so that an attorney can understand the full impact of the collision. → The term “full-coverage” can be misleading because state-minimum insurance limits may not adequately protect someone following a serious crash. → Effective representation requires understanding how an injury affects a client’s routines, caregiving responsibilities, work, travel, and quality of life.  Brent A. Couture earned his B.S. in Economics from the University of California, San Diego, where he also lettered for the intercollegiate volleyball team. He began his legal education at the University of West Los Angeles School of Law, then transferred to Barry University School of Law in Orlando, where he graduated. He limits his practice to plaintiff’s personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice cases. Connect With Brent:Website: https://couturelawoffices.com/X: https://x.com/couturelawpaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brent-couture-26ba221b3/https://www.linkedin.com/company/couture-law-pa/
