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. I
n 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.
