Can you really build a six-figure online business with no team, no startup capital, and a broken 2014 MacBook?

Yes. I did. And in this episode, I’m going to show you how.

Welcome back to Made — the podcast about people who’ve shaped themselves through grit, discipline, and transformation. I’m your host, Seth, and today I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered story of how I scaled my business to $200,000 (and counting) with no roadmap, no fancy software, and zero experience running an online business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How a random book changed the trajectory of my life and sparked the idea for my business
• Why “starting lean” can actually become your superpower
• The 4 pillars that helped me build fast and scale smart
• Why you need to copy, hire, and launch — instead of overthink, design, and delay
• The systems I put in place to shift from operator to owner
• My biggest mistakes, the beliefs that held me back, and what I’d do differently
• 6 online business ideas you can start today — even if you’re broke or overwhelmed

Whether you’re a freelancer, content creator, creative entrepreneur, or someone just done with their 9–5… this is the episode for you.

I’m breaking down my $200K playbook and teaching you how to:

• Start a business with low overhead
• Hire affordable virtual assistants and freelancers
• Build an MVP and launch without overthinking
• Create real revenue using skills you already have
• Avoid perfection paralysis and actually get paid

This isn’t another “laptop lifestyle” flex. It’s the truth behind what it really takes to build something meaningful online — even when everything feels stacked against you.
