In this episode, Ashley and Dave sit down with serial entrepreneur and investor Frank Capan, whose business journey includes everything from selling donuts in middle school to building (and selling) a highly successful ATM company that grew from 2 employees to 170 in just a few years.
Frank opens up about:
- How growing up around family businesses shaped his entrepreneurial drive
- Early lessons from failing (and eating unsold inventory 🍩)
- The role of mentorship, partnership, and learning through failure
- How he simplified complex decisions by focusing on “the one thing”
- Why hiring great people matters more than building perfect systems
- What separates businesses that succeed from those that stall out
Whether you’re a founder, a leader, or just someone who loves a good business story, Frank’s insights will leave you inspired, encouraged, and equipped with practical lessons you can apply to your own leadership and growth journey.
