Every business owner’s been there—you get slighted, ignored, or disrespected... and suddenly you’re plotting like a Bond villain with a balance sheet. In this episode, Mike and Blaine dive into the dangerously entertaining world of petty decisions in business.

From cutting off clients for using Comic Sans to launching entire product lines just to prove a point, we explore when petty becomes profitable—and when it just burns bridges. Some grudges build brands. Others build bankruptcy. Tune in to find out which is which.

Mike thought he was leveling up his website with a shiny new AI-powered SEO tool—until it locked everyone out of the content... while he was hosting a live event. Classic. This week, Mike and Blaine unpack how even well-intentioned upgrades can lead to unexpected chaos. From tech tools that break things to marketing campaigns that go too far, they explore the unintended consequences of small business decisions—and how to stay sane (and scrappy) when your best-laid plans go sideways.
