Business, entrepreneurship, money, and ethics collide when Ben and Jon break down where successful entrepreneurs actually draw the line in their business decisions. This conversation is raw, direct, and loaded with real world examples people never admit publicly.

From OnlyFans challenges to overseas labor, nothing is off limits. This is not moral posturing. It is two entrepreneurs walking through the decisions real founders face and the ethical bar they set for themselves in business.

What would you do for money? What wouldn’t you do even if the market rewarded it? And where does the idea of ethics even come from when every entrepreneur is constantly balancing incentives, responsibility, family, risk, and survival?

This episode is a deep dive into how operators think about the gray areas, what they refuse to touch, and what they believe is fair game in the real world of entrepreneurship.

Liquidation flipping is one of the simplest online business models most people overlook. In this episode, Ben Knegendorf and Jon Warren sit down with Shannon Jean — a serial entrepreneur who’s built multiple seven figure businesses and now dominates the liquidation and closeout game.

Shannon breaks down the entire process step by step: how liquidation auctions actually work, where to find deals from retailers like Costco and Target, how to price inventory using data (not emotion), and why “boring products” often make the most money. He also shares real examples from his mastermind — including people turning $2K into $10K flips and building six-figure resale operations from their garages.

Whether you’re in ecommerce, dropshipping, or just want to build a scrappy side business, this episode is a crash course in turning excess inventory into cash.

Business is simple. People are lazy.

Everyone online is suddenly selling PDFs and calling it “digital dropshipping.”

Supposedly, people are making $4,000 a day selling AI written guides, Notion templates, and checklists. So we decided to pull it apart and see what’s actually real.

Ben and Jon break down how this trend started, who’s really making money, and why “digital dropshipping” is just the same old info business wearing new clothes. They build and price out their own PDF products live, debate if the margins are worth the hype, and pick which idea they’d actually launch to test it.

No fluff, no gurus, no screenshots of Stripe accounts — just two operators figuring out if this new wave of online business is legit or nonsense.

Business is simple. People are lazy.
