I sat down with Tim to break down how he took a simple idea he saw online and turned it into a real-world business making thousands at fairs and events. We talked about how he started with a mobile RC construction trailer, charging by the minute, why lowering prices actually doubled demand, and how he broke even on roughly $10–11K in startup costs. Tim shared real numbers from events, including his best week doing around $2,600, and explained how county fairs, private parties, and corporate events became his main revenue drivers.

His website is https://canudigitrc.com and you can reach him at tim0617@gmail.com

We also dug into how he built custom session-tracking software with AI, why that made the business easier to run and scalable, and how he’s now opening a physical retail location with plans for memberships, higher capacity, and eventually franchising. This episode is a great look at how low-barrier, offline businesses can still work incredibly well when you validate demand first and keep things simple.

Enjoy!

The Hidden Economy of the Super Rich (And How to Profit From It)

Buy the business that serves the wealthy… that’s how YOU get rich. At Main Street Millionaire Live, we show you exactly how to find, buy, and scale businesses like this → https://contrarianthinking.biz/4jxCg3D

Rich people live in a different economy. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. In this video, I break down how the wealthy actually spend money and why the top 10% now drive nearly half of all U.S. spending. I show you how to profit by serving them instead of copying their lifestyle. I’ll show you the hierarchy for selling to high-net-worth clients, real pricing models, and why quiet cash flow beats status every time! Let’s get into it!

Hi… I’m Codie.

If we haven’t met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years. Then I realized I’d rather YOU AND I own our businesses locally instead. So I built up Main Street Holding Company, Contrarian Thinking Capital & Co. Now, we own and grow dozens of businesses. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one.

Here’s what I know for sure… those who say it’s impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️

40 Genius Ways of Making Thousands from Unwanted Land

Check out my newsletter at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://TKOPOD.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and join my new community at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://TKOwners.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, I break down dozens of real, practical ways to turn unwanted or unloved land into cash flowing businesses. I walk through ideas ranging from RV pads, sheds, tiny homes, parking, storage, and camping, all the way to tree farms, firewood, EV charging, sports courts, pop-ups, and traffic based monetization. The big takeaway is simple. If you own land, even ugly land, there are countless ways to cover the payment and build serious income if you think creatively and are willing to execute.

I sat down with Jameson to break down how he went from a high paying finance career to building a multi million dollar home services business from scratch. We talked about why testing ideas matters more than overthinking, how he validated demand before committing, and why simple high ticket services like deck building can be incredibly powerful when done right. Jameson also shared very tactical advice on branding, pricing, lead generation, and why speed to lead and social proof matter more than most people realize.
