## Resource

In this special episode of Accidental Business Owners, we welcome our first-ever guest to the show: actor, radio host, and entrepreneur Mike Minogue! Two years ago, after appearing on the Between Two Beers podcast, Mike pitched us an idea that seemed too good to refuse: creating a corporate speaking bureau featuring our podcast guests. We launched B2B Speakers, and it was an immediate hit. But today, we are announcing a "conscious uncoupling". In this honest conversation, we pull back the curtain on what happens when a side hustle grows faster than your capacity to manage it. We discuss why we are stepping away, how Mike is taking the reins, and the rebranding of the business to Frank Speakers. In this episode, we cover: The Origin Story: How a late-night drive led Mike to pitch the B2B Speakers concept. The "Too Good" Problem: Why the rapid success of the business actually became its biggest stressor. Burnout & Capacity: Balancing a startup with radio shows, podcasts, and new babies. The Breakup: How to navigate a business exit without ruining a friendship. Frank Speakers: The future of the agency under the Frank Management umbrella. The Power of "Turning Up": Mike’s philosophy on consistency and why building trust takes 3–5 years. Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers. Hosted on Acast.
