This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Vick Tipnes. Vick is a self-made entrepreneur, investor, author, and mentor best known as the founder and CEO of Blackstone Medical Services, one of the largest providers of home sleep testing in the United States and a company that has made the Inc. 5000 list five years in a row.
What makes Vick's story especially compelling is where it began. At one point, he had just $78 in his bank account and was facing enormous personal challenges. From those beginnings, he rebuilt his life and went on to build multiple companies, including Tipnes Capital and Tipnes Health, growing his businesses into organizations with hundreds of employees and millions in revenue.

Along the way, he's become known for his philosophy of building what he calls the "Maximum Life"—success not just in business, but in relationships, personal growth, and impact.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is William Milliken. Let me ask you something. What if scooping dog poop could make you a millionaire? That's not a joke—it's exactly what William Milliken has done as the founder and president of Swoop Scoop, one of the fastest-growing professional dog waste removal companies in the country. But he didn't stop there. William also created Poop Scoop Millionaire, a top-ranked online community that has helped thousands of entrepreneurs start and grow their own service businesses, many with less than $1,000.

Ranked #6 on the Inc. 5000 list for fastest-growing consumer service companies, and featured by influencers like Codie Sanchez, Alex Hormozi, and Iman Gadzhi, William is a true Misfit Entrepreneur. He turned a "dirty job" into a multi-million-dollar empire—while building one of the most engaged communities on the Skool platform.

In this episode, we're going to dig into:
How he built a 7-figure business from almost nothing
What it takes to scale in a service industry
Why undervalued niches hold massive potential
And what it means to lead a purpose-driven company in a market few take seriously

Get ready to rethink what opportunity looks like.
