ROAD TO GROWTH : Success as an Entrepreneur

Dan Uyemura - CEO/Founder of PushPress (Gym Management Software )

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Dan Uyemura. Introducing Dan , a fearless entrepreneur on a wild roller coaster ride. From childhood hustles with paper routes and brownie stands to college days amidst the internet explosion, Dan's entrepreneurial spirit has always burned bright. In those formative years, he founded Mixture.com, a game-changing platform ahead of its time. Riding the dot-com wave, Dan felt invincible, but life had other plans.
Trapped in soul-crushing application development, his fire dwindled, stuck building dashboards that left him uninspired. Then fate intervened. Losing his job at Myspace, a glimmer of hope emerged. Helping a friend open a gym sparked a revelation. The clunky software plaguing the fitness industry needed a revolution. Dan seized the opportunity with his severance, crafting sleek, user-friendly software for small gym owners.
In 2010, he leaped into the unknown, opening his own gym. Amidst a slew of setbacks, personal battles loomed. Fighting a destructive drug habit, Dan faced a wake-up call, realizing the consequences of his choices. With resilience and support, he rebuilt his life, embracing authenticity and making the right choices every day. Today, as PushPress CEO, Dan empowers gym owners, rewriting industry rules with raw honesty. His journey is one of setbacks, redemption, and an unwavering belief in never giving up.

Aidan Mehigan - Founder and CEO of Natterjack ( Whisky Brand )

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Aidan Mehigan. Aidan is the Founder and CEO of Natterjack, a popular Irish whisky brand he grew from zero to an internationally recognized liquor brand in less than 5 years.
Natterjack, currently sold in 16 U.S. states and 13 global markets, was recognized as the Best Irish Whiskey 2024 in The Whiskey Bible and has 7+ figure annual revenues. The journey getting there wasn't easy! 
In just a few short months, Jay raised $2,150,000 in private money. Despite initially cursing his banker, Jay now thanks him. Jay's unique system allows him to enjoy 7-figure profits year after year. He also has the freedom to work less than 10 hours per week in his real estate investing business by leveraging the power of automation.
To fund the growth of his company in 2018, Aidan obtained a $940K+ convertible loan note. Then COVID-19 struck, and by the end of 2021, Natterjack had low cash reserves, international market sales were almost non-existent, and the Irish market was simply too small to sustain the business.
To make matters worse, the convertible loan note holder also wanted their money, and Aidan couldn't pay it back. This resulted in a legal battle that ended with the court ruling in Aidan's favor, ending an attempted hostile acquisition and possible closure of Natterjack.

Jay Conner - Real Estate Investor and Author

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Jay Conner. Jay began investing in real estate in 2003. At the start of his career, he relied on his local banker and was able to put together a few deals. However, that also meant coming up with large down payments, paying origination fees, and signing personal guarantees on every deal. After years of feeling owned by the bank and being stressed out, he learned how to buy properties using creative financing, including subject-to and using lease-options.
After the market crashed in 2008, his banker cut him off. Jay had to abandon everything he knew about how to finance his deals. Then, he heard about the world of private money. He developed his own system for gathering millions of dollars for real estate deals. Over several years, Jay refined his system until it was repeatable and dependable. When he put it to the test, the first person he approached gave him $250,000 in private money.
In just a few short months, Jay raised $2,150,000 in private money. Despite initially cursing his banker, Jay now thanks him. Jay's unique system allows him to enjoy 7-figure profits year after year. He also has the freedom to work less than 10 hours per week in his real estate investing business by leveraging the power of automation.
