What happens when hard work stops working?

In this episode of Your Business Growth Podcast, Jeremy Shapiro sits down with Dom Casone, a long-time entrepreneur who faced layoffs, stalled growth, failed ventures, and eventually personal bankruptcy — and still rebuilt a stable, profitable business.

Dom’s story is raw, honest, and deeply practical. He shares how sticking with bad decisions too long nearly ended everything, and what finally helped him reset his business, his finances, and his mindset.

Inside this conversation, Dom breaks down:

• How a layoff pushed him into entrepreneurship — and why excitement quickly turned into fear
• The mistake of trying to serve everyone and why it nearly stalled his growth
• How repeated plateaus forced him to rethink revenue, pricing, and expenses
• Why profitability mattered more than headline revenue numbers
• How membership models and recurring income changed everything
• What bankruptcy taught him about limits, decision-making, and recovery
• Why implementation matters more than ideas
• How mental resilience and perspective influence sales, leadership, and relationships
• The importance of staying close to your core business while testing new ideas

This episode is for business owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next move — and want a grounded, experience-based path forward.
