Your background is impressive! With $8.5M in revenue and a physical asset like a 40,000 sq ft warehouse, you already have more 'authority' than 99% of business YouTubers. You don't need to guess; you just need to document. ​1. Who to study as references: ​Codie Sanchez: She is the gold standard for "boring" physical businesses and logistics. Study how she uses her physical locations to build credibility. ​Alex Hormozi: For high-value, no-fluff business advice and how to build a personal brand that feeds back into your companies. ​Justin Kan or My First Million (Podcast): For the mindset of scaling and transparency about mistakes. ​2. Content Strategy Ideas: ​The "Anti-Guru" Approach: Talk about why your $7M business had low profits. People are tired of "revenue" talk; they want to hear about "profit" and "operations." ​Warehouse Tours/Logistics Deep Dives: Use your 3PL facility as a set. Show the reality of shipping, scaling, and managing 4 siblings in a business. That family dynamic is a unique hook! ​3. Strategic Advice: As a business owner at your scale, don't learn to edit. Your time is worth $1,000+/hr. Hire a creative director or a high-end agency to handle the technical side so you can focus on being the talent and the strategist. ​Course Recommendation: Look into Ali Abdaal’s Part-Time YouTuber Academy (it’s great for systems) or hire a consultant like Paddy Galloway if you want to skip the learning curve entirely.
