How I Built My Small Business

By: Anne McGinty
  • Summary

  • Welcome to 'How I Built My Small Business,' where we dive deep into conversations with guests who've carved out their own path to success. But, we're not only about the creation of businesses. Alongside entrepreneurs, I also chat with experts offering perspectives that'll benefit anyone striving to lead, learn, or improve.

    This podcast is both a creative outlet and a platform to share knowledge from incredible people. My guests open up about the raw, heartwarming details of their journeys, offering expertise, simplifying business know-how, sharing money-making ideas, and imparting life wisdom—all through the power of storytelling.


    By listening to these interviews and stories, my hope is that you find even one little takeaway that sparks or inspires your path.

    While most of my guests make $1 million to $20 million net profit a year, some make more and some make less, but there is a lesson worth learning in each one. I also bring in special guests from brokering and mergers, mindset and meditation, entertainment and marketing, among others. So, the line-up is diverse in niche, experience and perspective - and so, so fun.

    Special episodes include:
    No College, No Problem
    Big business founders with a focus on helpful small business topics
    Expertise in hyper-niche fields

    The connecting piece is that every one of my guests has started their own business at some point in their journey.

    Thank you for listening.

  • Dr. Bill and Braden Rawls - CELLULAR WELLNESS: The Missing Piece in Modern Medicine
    Apr 15 2025

    Today’s conversation with Dr. Bill Rawls and Braden Rawls is about understanding health at a cellular level.

    Dr. Bill Rawls is a licensed physician with over 30 years of experience in medicine. After facing a personal health crisis in his early forties, he turned to herbal and alternative medicine, restoring his health and becoming a leading voice in holistic wellness. He is the bestselling author of "The Cellular Wellness Solution," and serves as the Medical Director and Co-Founder of Vital Plan, a holistic health company and Certified B Corporation.

    Braden Rawls is the CEO and other Co-Founder of Vital Plan, a company she established with her father, Dr. Bill Rawls, in 2008. Under her leadership, Vital Plan has developed meticulously crafted supplement blends using the highest quality ingredients, aiming to empower individuals to take control of their health.

    The reason I reached out to them is that the information in Dr. Rawl’s book “The Cellular Wellness Solution” had me buzzing from all that I learned because it made so much sense and provided a missing puzzle piece in my healing journey.

    I’ve been battling a couple autoimmune diseases for about fifteen years, and in that time, I’ve seen at least a dozen different endocrinologists, and each and every one of them told me that healing my own autoimmune condition was impossible. All solutions they offered ultimately led to surgically remove my thyroid or killing it through radioactive iodine. A major vital organ.

    And, I was unwilling to accept this route as a real solution (for me), and so I spent years reading books to learn as much as I could about thyroid health.

    Fast forward to today, and without medication, all of my thyroid levels are back in the normal range - because of what I’ve learned about healing through diet, lifestyle and herbal supplements.

  • Kerri Futch - A Candid Year One at WOLF AND FOX, a Wisconsin Winery
    Apr 8 2025

    Kerri Futch is a friend of mine who moved from Northern California to Wisconsin to be closer to family and to chase a dream vision for a Wolf and Fox, boutique winery and an event space.

    This episode is more of a casual conversation and catch-up between friends, but there are oodles of nuggets in her story, her strategic approach, and you’ll get real-time insights and perspective into what it’s like being in the midst of a less than 1 year-old business.

    Kerri and her husband, Jon, purchased forty acres of land with a barn in Calumet County, Wisconsin with motivation to cultivate a diverse, sustainable farm, vineyard, and community event space.

    Let’s hear how it’s going.

  • Duncan Wardle - Set Your Creativity Free Inside the IMAGINATION EMPORIUM
    Apr 1 2025

    This interview was so entertaining to host because I felt like I was back in college for an hour and had the most interesting guest teacher who made me laugh, play games, and have fun - all while learning.

    Duncan Wardle, the former head of innovation and creativity at Disney, is on a mission to teach people how to access their natural creative abilities, to be innovative, explore curiosity, connect through empathy and tap into one’s intuition.

    As soon as I saw Duncan in the online recording room, he just jumped straight into teaching and you’ll notice that the first few minutes of our conversation were missing because I hadn’t yet hit the record button.

    After a few minutes I thought, hit the dang record button, which I did. Next time, I’ll hit it sooner.

    In this episode, you may wonder - who is leading the show? LOL

    At one point, my husband overheard us in the distance and said, “it sounded pretty negative when you kept on saying No… what was up with that?” I guess you’ll just have to listen in to figure out what that was about.
