You want growth, but should you win new customers, or just squeeze more juice out of the ones you’ve already got? In this episode, Mike and Blaine debate the age-old dilemma: grow wide or grow deep. It’s volume versus value, buy-one-get-one versus buy-better-now. From high-touch boutique brilliance to discount disasters, we’re breaking down which strategy actually makes you money—and which one just makes you tired. Spoiler: One of them might be ghosting your margins.

Every business owner’s been there—you get slighted, ignored, or disrespected... and suddenly you’re plotting like a Bond villain with a balance sheet. In this episode, Mike and Blaine dive into the dangerously entertaining world of petty decisions in business.

From cutting off clients for using Comic Sans to launching entire product lines just to prove a point, we explore when petty becomes profitable—and when it just burns bridges. Some grudges build brands. Others build bankruptcy. Tune in to find out which is which.
