- Welcome to episode ZERO of the brand-new Laser Dispatch podcast! In this episode, I'm going to lay the groundwork for what you can expect from this podcast if you decide to become a viewer/listener. After that, I answered questions generated by ChatGPT about my own laser business journey. If you can think of anyone you think would be a good guest for a business deep dive, send them my way!

Drink every time I say "you know" if you want to get absolutely wasted 😂. I'll correct that next time!
I think this was a great way to get the ball rolling on your podcast Justin. I really enjoy your videos and feel like I walk away more knowledgeable afterwards than most of the "laser channels" I watch/Listen to. I didnt notice you say "you know" too often. I think your just being hard on yourself.
I've deen deposed before and when the lawyer sent me the transcript to review, I was shocked how many times I said, "yeah" and "umm".
I’m new to Lazer engraving and so glad I’ve run across your content. It’s very helpful and inspiring. Learning as much as I can be overwhelming but what you put out saves new people like me countless hours. Like you my plan is to do it full time. It’s a new passion I truly love to do. Thank you
Thanks for checking it out appreciate it. Good luck with the laser journey it is a very achievable goal!
You're a man!
Justin, it was so cool to listen this very first episode of your podcast. It's something special...
I'm totally exited to know that somewhere in NJ there is a guy who did an awesone way from 0 to 1.
Please be sure - this podcast worth to get as much afford as possibe.
I'm waiting for the next episode, man.
I'm shaking your hand and wish you a good luck!
Maybe one day you decide to invite some of your youtube followers into your podcast.
It'll be great.
Appreciate it! Yeah I can see situations where that happens for sure. Going to keep the podcast guest assortment open ended.
I will definitely be watching The Laser Dispatch....I enjoyed your interview with Justin...he has a great story to tell...Keep up the content and GOOOO Braves!!!
LMAO Phillies starting to put it together (as of now at least)
I think you can invite Justin back anytime and we will be happy to learn from his journey.
Super pumped about these podcasts! Cant wait to listen to more of them!
Great to hear how you started Justin I really enjoyed this.
Appreciate you checking it out!
Just started your ep0 on Spotify. I'm excited to see your journey through this process and enjoy your business insights relating to the field. Keep the knowledge coming!
We would gladly join you on your podcast. We are a small home based business that hasn’t spent a dime on advertising. We focus on local business only to start with. Only digital files on Etsy
Ill add to the list!
Awesome podcast Justin! You got me as a viewer. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it !!
Great stuff Justin! For this being episode 0 I am very impressed your a natural communicator and great host. Looking forward to the next one already. You can count me as an avid listener.
Appreciate it my man!
Good luck with your podcast! Nice collab between you and that ChaptGPT guy 😉
Really enjoyed the more in-depth origin story…props to the girlfriend/wife for believing in you. My hubbie is an enabler, couldn’t have done it without him pushing me forward.
Thanks! Yeah the "other-half" support is crucial although Im sure she was a bit skeptical at the time haha.
I love the podcast idea. This refund story is worth an episode. How to deal with them, how much can you loose for good reviews, how to cover your butt, how to tell if they are just making it up for free stuff etc. What do you think?
Thanks! Yeah I can a segment on refunds. Thankfully for me the clients I have that buy physical products rarely request refunds. However, the digital products side is a minefield of annoying refunds and probable scammers.
Nice job. Its hard to avoid Facebook, Reddit and other invasive avenues to reach marketplaces, isnt it. Id rather see just a plain BBS, be the norm like in the early days of internet, free and basic. I think Craigslist may be the closest thing now, but its pretty saturated with junk as well. Seems like sometimes half of a starting businesses revenue goes to fees for websites, ecommerce fees, shipping, taxes and customer interactions. Im pretty sure those are the better businesses to be in, the ones gouging all the profits off of small businesses. It can be frustrating. And its really only a feasible adventure if you have a nest egg to rely on, or burn up in the process. Or still have the financial umbilical cord to your parents wallet.
Yeah its not easy and especially now people have no tolerance for abrupt advertising. Must tread carefully when engaging on FB and other social spots.
👍👍👍
During your leather making days, where do you buy your leather materials?
Mainly Buckleguy.com and Rocky Mountain Leather Supply. Springfield Leather Company for stuff like glues, dyes, etc.
Do you think that it doesn’t make sense for a small manufacturer to go to marketplaces?
I would go anywhere you think your potential customers are at. I think being small is a massive advantage this day and age because there is a lot of backlash against giant faceless corporations. Use the "smallness" as part of your story and marketing.
How do I contact you? I have like maybe 5 minutes of laser questions. I worked at a laser shop a few years ago and loved it but moved on to a much higher paying job doing something else. I want to get back into laser stuff which I'm actually passionate about which you seem to be as well. I feel like five min of convo you could help point me in today's best direction.
Why did you abandon Boss Laser? It is what you started with...
I still have my Boss! Use it everyday.
