In this episode of Made, we explore the mindset that fueled Kobe Bryant’s rise to greatness—and why his approach to discipline and obsession holds powerful lessons far beyond the court. Kobe wasn’t interested in being good. He was committed to being the best, and that commitment shaped every part of his life. From his unshakable routines to his obsession with improvement, Kobe embodied a level of discipline that most people never even consider. This episode breaks down what truly separates the elite from everyone else, challenging you to rethink what it actually means to go all in. If your goals haven’t reshaped your habits, your schedule, or your identity, then maybe you’re still on the sidelines. Let this be the push to stop negotiating with your potential—and start living with the kind of obsession that builds legends.

Can you really build a six-figure online business with no team, no startup capital, and a broken 2014 MacBook?

Yes. I did. And in this episode, I’m going to show you how.

Welcome back to Made — the podcast about people who’ve shaped themselves through grit, discipline, and transformation. I’m your host, Seth, and today I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered story of how I scaled my business to $200,000 (and counting) with no roadmap, no fancy software, and zero experience running an online business.

• How a random book changed the trajectory of my life and sparked the idea for my business
• Why “starting lean” can actually become your superpower
• The 4 pillars that helped me build fast and scale smart
• Why you need to copy, hire, and launch — instead of overthink, design, and delay
• The systems I put in place to shift from operator to owner
• My biggest mistakes, the beliefs that held me back, and what I’d do differently
• 6 online business ideas you can start today — even if you’re broke or overwhelmed

Whether you’re a freelancer, content creator, creative entrepreneur, or someone just done with their 9–5… this is the episode for you.

I’m breaking down my $200K playbook and teaching you how to:

• Start a business with low overhead
• Hire affordable virtual assistants and freelancers
• Build an MVP and launch without overthinking
• Create real revenue using skills you already have
• Avoid perfection paralysis and actually get paid

This isn’t another “laptop lifestyle” flex. It’s the truth behind what it really takes to build something meaningful online — even when everything feels stacked against you.
