Props to Dan and Ian
I’ve been listening for years. They helped me to be inspired to start a business, took their advice on running the biz and still listening after I sold my business. So much value. -

Changing the way we build businesses Around the World
We started doing this way back in 2009.
Back then, we only knew a few people growing a lifestyle business. We started the pod primarily as a way to meet others (now, connecting entrepreneurs is one of our daily practices).
At the time, we were running an e-commerce business. We sold parking equipment and cat furniture (among other things). In 2009 it was rare for a product company to have digital-native mindset— we used the web to hire globally and get out of the office (hence the name “Tropical” MBA).
That business taught us a lot. It started with – literally– a dream and ended with a multi seven-figure exit.
Today, with 10M+ downloads and listener meetups worldwide every month, the TMBA Podcast has turned into a hub for founders who’ve built life-changing lifestyle businesses.
A lot happened this week! Our new community for 7 & 8-figure founders is filling up fast and we’re stoked to open the doors to TMBA listeners. On this week’s podcast, we explore frameworks for identifying and dealing with high-conflict personalities.
