If you’ve ever been to a trade show and wondered what goes on behind the scenes before and during it, you’re definitely not alone. Fahim, Seema, and Marty have done their fair share of event preparation and production, but their events pale in comparison to the PRINTING United Expo–the world’s largest print trade show, class space, demonstration hub, and all-around wonder. 

With over one million square feet of the Las Vegas Convention Center taken over by the event and 27,000 registered attendees, there was plenty happening both on and off the show floor to keep PRINTING United Alliance’s Carly O’Neill, Josh Carruth, and the outstanding Expo team busy. Yet, outstanding humans that they are, they not only made time for us to sit down with them to do a season two bonus follow-up episode to their popular season one episode (MoJo Motivation™ Season 1 Episode 5), but they did so on the Expo floor, in a special podcasting booth set aside just for the occasion. 

Carly and Josh truly rolled out the red carpet to welcome us as premier print consultants and proud members of the PRINTING United Alliance, and we are so very grateful.

Who’s hungry? Hunger is an essential ingredient to successful entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Fahim and Marty continue their “Just Us” conversation with part two, focusing on the importance of a driving force behind successful entrepreneurs. Choosing to take big risks, letting go of a traditional career and associate safety nets, putting yourself out there, and hustling like your livelihood depends on it (because it does) are a combination that can create something truly impactful…and lasting.

This conversation will continue throughout the season in five separate parts. Let’s soar!

Steve Dick, Owner of Box King - Pack, Ship, Print in Springfield, Ohio, logistics and print industry legend and expert, Buckeyes superfan, and dear friend and mentor to Seema, Fahim, and Marty sits down late at night at the end of August, just after wrapping a sold-out AYM High print masterclass event, to talk about servant leadership, small business ownership and growth, the importance of community (both locally and industry-wide), proper pricing (including the essential aspect of being confident and not ashamed to charge what your service is worth and using the Pawn Stars model in how to respond to price bullies and pushers), pivoting in business, staying humble when you reach guru status, growing into proper equipment when you’re ready and not too soon, the reality and struggles of entrepreneurship, how to fire a client, proper responsiveness in business, and tacos. 

Yes, tacos. Steve loves tacos more than anyone we’ve ever known! He even has an emotional support taco.

​

Fall in love with Steve like we did over a decade ago and be inspired by his story, his grit, his attitude, and his heart. Let’s soar!

Fahim and Marty sit down in their studio to define what it means to be BFAMs (brothers from another mother), recap season one, preview season two, announce the four theme words for season two (mindset, attitude, rollercoaster, and character), and talk about their their individual and mutual experience in the print, packing, shipping, logistics, mailbox, and business center industry, Fahim’s unicorn hoarding tendencies, their styles, their very different but complementary brains and strengths, Marty’s positive health changes, the reality of life’s struggles and victories, their upcoming special guest appearance at the PRINTING United Expo, and much more! The conversation will continue throughout the season in five separate parts. Let’s soar! Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen here.
