John Goss + Austin Dixon (Adegen Hair Loss) share their revolutionary product line, spreading hope and confidence to anyone who is suffering from hair loss. During this episode John shares his journey of developing the adegen protocol, why other solutions on the market don’t actually work, & the trials of taking a product to market. John was voted “best hair” in his senior high school yearbook, but by the time he was a freshman in college, he had already started losing his hair. He suffered a massive hit to his confidence, and started trying everything on the market possible to bring his hair back. He started traveling the world, consulting with doctors, and even going through multiple hair transplants to bring his hair back. After spending 100s of thousands of dollars of his own money to figure out a cure, he finally discovered a system that worked for him. He eventually brought this product to market through adegen and brought Austin onboard to help with the digital marketing and ecommerce side. Since recording this episode, both Eddie and Andrew have noticed dramatic results after using the Adegen products regularly, and have been blown away by the results.

38: Journey From $0 to $200K a Month - Jaylen LaGrande
Jaylen LaGrande (CEO of 3:16 Collection and Million Dollar Brands) comes on the podcast to discuss his success and struggles as a business owner. He started his career eleven years ago with a brand called Religious Expressions, selling t-shirts through multiple brands. Over the last three years, 3:16 Collection has made about 6 million in sales, transitioning from brick and mortar to ecommerce. Through Million Dollar Brands, Jaylen teaches people how to identify problems and create solutions through their clothing brands, emphasizing the importance of community building. 3:16 Collection has gone from selling just T-shirts to a full-scale clothing line including joggers, backpacks, jewelry, accessories and (soon to release) sneakers. He emphasizes that he wanted something unique to him as a believer and fashion lover, and something on the next level. He believes that his brand stands out from other Christian t-shirt companies due to the quality of the garments and the unique design process. It takes a lot of effort to create a successful brand, and Jaylen has done just that for his products.
