Want to build a business that thrives without you?

There are 3 books that’ve transformed Shane Da Costa's approach to entrepreneurship - and helped him sell over $28 million online (and counting!).

In this episode of The Relentless Entrepreneur, Shane reveals the exact mental frameworks he used to scale his business, drawing on key principles from:

10X Is Easier Than 2X by Benjamin Hardy - Learn how to identify your unique abilities, let go of the "good" to reach the "great," and build systems for exponential growth.

Good to Great by Jim Collins - Discover the power of Level 5 leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel Effect in building a truly exceptional business.

Built to Sell by John Warrillow - Learn how to productise your service, narrow your focus, and create a business that can thrive (and be sold) without you.

Whether you're launching your first venture or scaling an established business, this episode delivers the fundamental insights that separate successful entrepreneurs from those stuck in perpetual struggle.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
