Ryan Pineda and Danny Bay brainstorm a strategy to turn caddies, golf coaches, and industry workers into an active direct sales team for Ryan's high-ticket golf mastermind. The conversation breaks down the mechanics of direct sales structures: determining commission tiers and leadership overrides, managing FTC compliance around joining fees, setting up automated onboarding systems, and keeping sales reps motivated without paying high up-front marketing costs.

After two decades of building high-performing sales organizations, Danny Bay faced a devastating split from his long-time company and launched a venture right as the COVID-19 pandemic struck. He shares the personal and financial toll of liquidating his real estate portfolio to keep his business afloat, the faith that kept him going, and how an unexpected phone call transformed a near-total loss into his single greatest business opportunity.

Ryan Pineda and Brian Davila sit down with funding expert Evan Rugan to break down how entrepreneurs can still access business capital in 2026, sharing practical strategies for building business credit, securing funding, and scaling without running out of cash.⁣
