    In this episode of Henderson HQ, host Scott Groves sits down with Morne Bekker, a South African golfer who ditched his cushy corporate gig at HPE to chase his dream of qualifying for the Champions Tour.


    Oh... and casually built the dopest indoor golf facility in Henderson along the way.


    (Even though Scott admits he doesn't know squat about golf.)


    Here's what listeners will actually learn:

    - How to transition from corporate prison to entrepreneurship without going broke or losing your family in the process.

    - How to use cutting-edge technology (TrackMan AI, advanced tracking systems) to deliver better results than your competition... even if you're not the "best" in your field.

    - How to build a business that serves EVERY level of customer... from drunk bachelor parties to serious athletes trying to get better.

    - How to price premium services without feeling like a sleazy salesman. (Morne breaks down his membership models, coaching packages, and how he stacks revenue streams.)

    - How to create a "Country Club" vibe that makes people WANT to spend money with you... without the snooty crap.

    - How to leverage relationships and referrals instead of wasting money on ads that don't work.


    Plus...


    Morne shares some wild cultural differences between doing business in South Africa vs. America.


    (Spoiler: Americans are REALLY good at ghosting people.)


    Whether you're thinking about starting a business, want to see what a world-class coaching operation looks like, or just want to stop embarrassing yourself at Top Golf... this episode delivers.

    Look...


    Most local businesses are hemorrhaging money.


    And they don't even know it.


    Because while they're busy fixing AC units or installing carpet or whatever...


    67% of their phone calls are going straight to voicemail.


    And each missed call?


    That's a customer going to your competitor.


    In this episode of Henderson HQ, host Scott Groves sits down with tech nerds Lucho and Lisza Crisalle...


    The husband-wife duo behind What Works Academy.


    And these two have been building AI-powered business systems since 2003.


    (Yeah... way before it was cool.)


    Here's what you're gonna learn:

    - How to get your Google Business Profile on steroids so customers find YOU instead of your competitors

    - The automated ranking system that added $1.2 million to a trucking company's revenue in ONE year

    - Why your business is probably pissing away thousands per month on missed calls (and how AI fixes that in 30 seconds)

    - How to generate 150-200K in additional revenue in your SECOND month using AI appointment setters

    - The psychology behind making customers chase YOU instead of you chasing them


    Plus... Scott gets real about the struggle of finding decent service providers in Henderson.


    And Lucho breaks down why that's happening.


    (Spoiler: It's not what you think.)


    Whether you run an HVAC company, a law firm, a coffee shop, or you're just tired of working 80-hour weeks...


    This episode shows you how to automate the stuff that's eating your time.


    So you can actually LIVE the life you started a business for.

    Scott Groves sits down with Henderson's youngest entrepreneurs... 14-year-old Naomi and 10-year-old Ruth along with their mom, Esther.


    These two girls are running a legit Etsy business called Faith & Hope Designs.


    Selling custom resin jewelry, tic-tac-toe boards, and clay earrings that have shipped to Italy, Canada, and all over the US.


    In just 5 months, they've pulled in over $1,300.


    Not bad for young entrepreneurs.


    Scott digs into how they started...


    How they're managing 30+ orders a month...


    And what happens when you accidentally get hooked on making pumpkin pie earrings that people can't stop buying.


    Their mom, Esther, breaks down the backend...


    The marketing, the Etsy fees (25%... ouch), and how she's teaching her daughters about margins, customer service, and not working for free.


    You'll learn:

    - How to start a handmade product business with ZERO experience

    - How to use Etsy, Instagram, and Facebook to find customers (even internationally)

    - Why you should let the MARKET tell you what to make (not your ego)

    - How to price products so you're not just breaking even

    - The importance of testing different products to see what actually sells


    Scott keeps it real with these girls...


    Telling them to raise their prices, hire their friends, and maybe aim for a Honda before the Porsche.


    If you've got kids who want to start a business... or YOU want to start something on the side...


    This episode shows you it's possible.

    ______________________________

    Scott Groves sits down with Christian Bishop—a guy who went from getting his heart broken on The Bachelorette to building a 7-figure eSports empire... and now wants to make State Assembly less insufferable.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    → Why local politics ACTUALLY affects your life more than whatever Trump or Biden are doing (and why most people have it backwards)

    → How Nevada's State Assembly works and what they do with your tax dollars every two years

    → The REAL problems facing Henderson families right now... from education to housing to public safety

    → Why Christian thinks bringing back wood shop classes might be more important than another standardized test

    → How entrepreneurs solve problems differently than career politicians (and why that matters when you're trying to fix a broken system)

    → The unglamorous truth about running for office... including the part where you make $9K a year and spend six figures of your own money


    Scott doesn't hold back.


    He asks the questions most interviewers won't...


    Like how the hell you convince your wife to let you run for office when you could be making real money in your business.


    Or why Nevada ranks 43rd in education and what can ACTUALLY be done about it.


    This isn't your typical softball political interview.


    It's a real conversation between two entrepreneurs who care about Henderson...


    And want to make it better without all the partisan nonsense.


    Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or disenfranchised libertarian in the middle...


    You'll walk away understanding how State Assembly works, what's broken, and how one entrepreneur and family man thinks he can fix it.

    Scott Groves sits down with Paul Ripa and Jordana Lane, the husband-wife duo behind Vegas Mobile Fuel, to break down what it ACTUALLY takes to launch a tech-enabled service business from scratch.


    Paul sold his house to fund this thing.


    Yeah. You read that right.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    → How to validate a business idea in a market where nobody's looking for your product yet (because they don't even know it exists)

    → The exact licensing nightmares they ran into with Clark County vs Henderson vs Las Vegas... and which ones were surprisingly easy

    → Why their "soft launch" strategy saved them from a public disaster

    → How they built an entire app ecosystem, fuel delivery system, AND tire maintenance program without going insane

    → The marketing channels that flopped hard... and what's actually working now

    → How to price a subscription service so it doesn't feel like a luxury... even when you're literally delivering gas to people's driveways

    → Why the B2B play for fleet vehicles might be the real money maker (spoiler: it's about saving businesses thousands per year)


    Plus... Scott gets weirdly excited about not having to buy Oreos at gas stations anymore.


    And you'll hear why a Route 91 survivor decided that helping people get their TIME back became more important than anything else.


    If you've ever thought about starting a service business...


    Or if you're just tired of spending 20 hours a year at Costco waiting to save eight cents a gallon...


    This one's for you.

    Scott Groves sits down with Gail Schomisch, owner of All Fired Up Las Vegas, to unpack 27 years of business warfare in Henderson.


    Gail and her partner started with ZERO pottery experience and $100K in debt.


    Fast forward to today... she's running a mobile empire that serves 1000s of kids and corporate clients across the valley.


    But it wasn't always smooth sailing.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to pivot your business model when competition moves in next door (spoiler: sometimes you just gotta outlast the enemy)

    • The EXACT logistics strategy Gail and her partner use to manage 400+ custom pottery pieces... without losing their minds

    • How she survived COVID by completely reinventing her revenue model in 72 hours

    • Why going mobile crushed having a retail storefront (and saved her business)

    • The hidden costs of tariffs that most entrepreneurs don't see coming

    • How to scale from 5 employees to 25 employees seasonally... without everything falling apart

    • Their system for handling insane event logistics


    Plus...


    Gail drops some FIRE restaurant recommendations you've probably never heard of.


    If you're a business owner facing a major pivot...


    Or you're just tired of the same old business advice from people who've never actually DONE it...


    This episode's gonna hit different.


    Because Gail doesn't sugarcoat anything.


    She'll tell you exactly what it takes to survive 27 years in Vegas...


    Including the ugly parts nobody talks about.

    Scott Groves sits down with Tony and Allie Festa, the husband-and-wife duo behind Me Gusta Tacos in Henderson's District at Green Valley Ranch. If you've ever thought about owning a restaurant—or you're just trying to figure out how to not suck at customer service—this one's for you.


    Tony and Allie don't sugarcoat it. They'll tell you exactly why owning a restaurant can feel like getting kicked in the nuts while handing over your life savings. But they'll also show you how buying an existing business (instead of starting from scratch) gave them a head start most restaurant owners never get.


    You'll learn how to hire staff that actually cares, how to keep customers coming back without gimmicks, and why creating a memorable vibe matters more than perfecting your Yelp response strategy. They also break down the power of community events—like their car show that raised over $5K for charity—and how being genuinely involved in your neighborhood can be your best marketing strategy.


    Plus, Tony spills on why franchises aren't always the golden ticket, how working at the legendary Hard Rock Hotel shaped his approach to hospitality, and why slowing down during the chaos is the key to not screwing everything up.


    Scott keeps it real, asking the questions most people are too polite to ask—like how you deal with nightmare customers, what it's like working with your spouse 24/7, and whether the joy of owning a taco shop comes from unlimited free tacos. (Spoiler: Not as much as you'd think.)


    Whether you want to open your own spot, work in hospitality, or just appreciate a darn good shrimp burrito, this episode's got something for you.

    In this refreshingly straightforward episode of Henderson HQ, host Scott Groves sits down with his business partner Leah James Vega, a 27-year mortgage veteran who's witnessed Henderson transform from desert wasteland to million-dollar home territory. Scott's interviewing style cuts through the mortgage industry's typical salesy garbage to extract real insights.


    How to navigate today's housing market without getting screwed: Leah demolishes the biggest homebuying myths (spoiler: you don't need 20% down and perfect tax returns). How to understand what you can actually afford instead of obsessing over interest rates. How to work with a loan officer who won't sugarcoat your situation or disappear when problems arise.


    As Henderson's unofficial mayor, Leah also reveals how to leverage relationship-based business strategies that work in any industry. Learn her follow-up system that generates deals from four-year-old leads and why transparency beats perfection when managing client stress.


    Plus you'll get the inside scoop on Henderson's evolution, Water Street's revival, and why this former "BFE" desert town is now home to $12 million estates. Whether you're buying a house next month or in five years, this episode will save you from making expensive mistakes.


    Scott's bonus insight: Why your CRM is probably garbage compared to simple follow-up systems that actually work.
