    Reddit Doesn't Have to Make Your Loan Payments.
    Oct 21 2026

    Nearly a million in sales. Cash flow on life support. Should you really be borrowing more?

    Sales look great. Cash is tight. And somehow, the plan is to borrow more money.

    Welcome to Reddit on the Rocks, where Matthew R. Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca take real small business questions off Reddit and put the numbers (and the logic) under a microscope. Anonymous advice is free. Cleaning up after it? That gets expensive.

    This week, business owners want to expand, escape debt, cut prices, and hand someone else the keys. Matt and Luigi have a few follow-up questions.

    🍸 On the menu:

    • More debt, more problems? A pet care owner needs $150K while a merchant cash advance takes a bite out of sales.

    • Working for yourself—or your lenders? Sorting through SBA loans, EIDL debt, and a pile of credit card bills.

    • The discount trap. That 20% price cut could eat half your margin. Enjoy being twice as busy.

    • You'd like to leave. Can you? What happens when the owner wants out of the daily work.

    • Your ads flopped. Now you want a loan? The missing step between spending money and winning customers.

    Listen before you borrow. And remember: the guy handing out business advice on Reddit won't be chipping in on your loan payment.

  • Build It. Scale It. Sell It. Then Get Punched in the Face with Brian McNally

    Build It. Scale It. Sell It. Then Get Punched in the Face with Brian McNally
    Oct 14 2026
    What does it take to build a business worth buying, survive losing half your revenue, and then willingly get punched in the face? Brian McNally has some answers. Brian bootstrapped a healthcare staffing company, built it with an exit strategy in mind, and eventually sold it. Along the way, COVID wiped out 50% of the business in just six weeks. And because apparently entrepreneurship wasn't challenging enough, he also decided to step into an MMA cage in his 40s. He joins Matt and Luigi to talk about building a company that can thrive without its founder, why culture is more than motivational posters, and what happens when you stop making excuses and start getting honest about what you want out of life. 🍸 What you'll hear in this episode: Build to sell: Why your exit strategy should start long before you find a buyer. Culture that actually pays off: How accountability, honesty, and the right people drive growth. The COVID gut punch: Losing half the business in six weeks and finding a way forward. Get out of your own way: Why founders need to stop being the center of everything. From boardroom to MMA cage: What getting punched in the face teaches you about discipline. The life beyond the exit: Why money means very little if your health and relationships are falling apart. 👤 About our Guest: Brian is an entrepreneur, business coach, former co-founder of Milio, MMA fighter, and author of the upcoming book FCK AVG, a guide to ditching average and taking control of your life. Want to build something worth selling without sacrificing everything else along the way? Give this one a listen.

  • The Bora Bora Test: Can Your Business Survive 60 Days Without You?

    The Bora Bora Test: Can Your Business Survive 60 Days Without You?
    Oct 7 2026
    If your business falls apart when you disappear for 60 days, did you build a company? Or just a very expensive job? Allison Maslan, founder and CEO of Pinnacle Global Network and author of Scale or Fail, joins Matt and Lou to break down what it really takes to scale a business without burning out the owner. Her Scale It Method focuses on five big pieces: strategic vision, cash flow, team, leadership, and execution. But the bigger lesson is simple: growth gets a lot harder when the founder is still the answer to every question. If your company is held together with duct tape, heroic effort, and one employee named Larry who somehow knows everything, this one is for you. 🍸 What you'll hear in this episode: Why being busy is not the same as growing The five pillars behind Allison's Scale It Method How founders become the bottleneck without realizing it Why cash flow problems may actually be operations problems The "Bora Bora test" for seeing how dependent the business is on you How to build leaders around your strongest skill Why your team should know what success looks like without asking you How better systems can make a company more valuable at exit What Allison looks for in high-level mentors and advisors Why strong company culture matters more as the business grows Allison also shares how one law-firm owner went from roughly $2.5 million in revenue and 17-hour workdays to more than $100 million in revenue after changing the way the company was built and led. If that's not reason enough to listen…we don't know what else to tell you. 👤 About our Guest: Allison Maslan is the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Global Network and the author of Scale or Fail. She has built 10 companies and now helps business owners build stronger teams, systems, leadership, and operations so the company can grow without depending on them for every move. 🎧 Try this after the episode: Take the Bora Bora test. Imagine you disappear for 60 days with no Slack, email, Zoom, or phone calls. Write down the first three things that would break. That list?
