Hello everybody and welcome to The Business Method Podcast. Today, we have a very special guest that we get the fortunate opportunity to chat with. He started out at the ripe age of 9 years old in rural Texas working at his family’s grocery business. During his teenage years he spent most Saturday’s and Summers sweeping the floors and learning the in’s and out’s of the business until after graduating college where he then worked the night shift loading trucks for a year and a half.
He worked in the family business for nearly 5 decades running it as the CEO for 30 of those years and built that company into a wholesale grocery business worth $19 Billion dollars. In 1990, he sold the McLane Company to Sam Walton the founder of Walmart and became the Vice Chairman of Walmart. In 1992, he decided he needed a new challenge and purchased the Houston Astros baseball team, eventually taking the team to the World Series and building them a new stadium. His name is Drayton McLane and he is here on the podcast today, Drayton, welcome to the show!

Thirteen years ago, I came across a book that I had no idea would change my life as much as it has. That book was called The 80/20 Principle. I read it, and immediately applied what it said to my life seeing results in a matter of a few days. I continued to apply the method as much as possible throughout the years using it in both my business and personal life.
Little did I know 13 years later, I would be so fortunate enough to interview the author of the book. Richard Koch is our guest today and we are going to dive down the 80/20 rabbit hole with him on what this method is, and why it actually works in all areas of life. How you can use it as a superpower to generate significant amounts of money, and be happier, healthier, and maintain better relationships.
Richard himself is a very successful entrepreneur, investor, & consultant working on and investing in hotels, restaurants, the distilling industry and the internet gaming industry as well. Richard has used the 80/20 Principle to make a fortune from several private equity investments and “retiring’ by the age of 40!
00:00 Who is Richard Koch?
01:38 Defining the 80/20 Principle
11:12 The Evolution of the 80/20 Principle
23:21 Applying the 80/20 Principle in Marketing
29:42 Applying the 80/20 Principle in Team Management
34:14 Seeing the 80/20 Principle in a New Way Through Network Businesses

Welcome to The Business Method’s series of interviewing 100 people that have built companies worth $1 Billion or more and our guest today falls perfectly into that category. He actually turned down Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon multiple times to spearhead the Research & Design arm of Amazon’s data-mining and personalization team. He finally folded to Bezos, later saying it was the best decision he ever made. After working with Bezos he went on to launch the $5 Billion real estate brokerage, Redfin. He then launched RichRelevance, a company that offers personalized shopping experiences for large retail brands, and recently started Deep Sentinel, an AI-based home security service.

Listeners welcome to The Business Method Podcast and today we have the Founder of a $3 Billion Startup on the show!
His name is Paolo Tiramani and he is the founder of Boxabl. Boxabl makes 375-square-foot “unfolding” houses. And I say unfolding because that is exactly what they do. Literally, you take it off of a truck, and unfold it to have a really nice home. The unfolding of the house takes about an hour fully equipped with a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, television, living room and all you have to do to get the utilities working is just plug it in!
The houses don't need any special delivery equipment. It can fit on a normal flatbed trailer pulled by any vehicle. And given the small size, it can be delivered to almost anywhere you want it. You can literally have a house assembled in a single day that costs roughly $50,000 starting out and so far 90,000 people have signed up to get one.
Paolo is joining us on the podcast today to chat about how he built this incredibly innovative business into a $3 billion company!

The CEO and Founder of Paddle.com is on the mic today and he is going to share his story of building a $1.4 Billion SaaS company before the age of 30.
At the age of 12 Christian Owens taught himself how to code and started building a software company. By the age of 16 he dropped out of highschool and scaled his invoicing software business to $4 Million Annual Recurring Revenue. As a result, he ran into a lot of tax issues. Christian then decided to start a software company to solve these problems after being told he would have to build it himself to find a solution.
So Christian founded Paddle. Paddle became a payments infrastructure for SaaS businesses, and he grew Paddle into a $1.4 Billion company before the age of 30 growing 175% year over year. Paddle, recently hit the unicorn level by raising $200 million, it has attracted developers with over $1 billion in volume and integrates Alipay, Google Pay and iDeal, empowering software companies to sell and grow globally. In 2016, Christian was named one of Forbes’ “30 under 30”.

I love incredibly successful people that still have the down-to-earth human touch. It is really enjoyable to talk with them and understand why they are who they are. Today’s guest is one of those people and yet so much more. Janice Bryant Howroyd is the founder The ActOne Group and she is the very first African-American female to found a billion dollar company, and yes you heard me right, a billion dollar company.
What is even more impressive about Janice is that speaking with her was like talking to an old friend. She is incredibly relatable and really a caring and authentic human being.
During the interview I noticed this and really wanted to get behind her story and what made her the amazing individual and entrepreneur she is today. We chat about her upbringing as an African-American in an extremely racial environment with a family of 11 children. We chat about he life philosophy, her habits and what she vales. We chat about how she maintains personal relationships while running a billion dollar company, the challenges of being a female entrepreneur, how us humans like to operate in tribes and some of her favorite books she recommends even though she has a 6000+ book library.
At the end of the podcast, we ask Janice about her philosophy on influence in today’s world and how she handles it responsibility.
“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal!” JBH
