They Built Their Businesses from Nothing… Here’s How

In this electrifying episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael Greenfield and Ushy Schwartz sit down with Eli Basch and Elie Goldring to uncover the real stories behind creative entrepreneurship, branding, and business strategy. These two visionaries have built their careers from the ground up, using bold ideas, social media influence, and innovative thinking to stand out in competitive industries.

Eli Basch, founder of Day 3 Media, reveals how he built a six-figure creative agency from scratch—using only LinkedIn. He shares his step-by-step journey, from offering low-cost work just to get his foot in the door to commanding premium rates for high-end branding projects. With deep insights into personal branding, viral marketing, and storytelling, Eli explains why most people fail on social media and how the right hook can make or break your content. Plus, find out why his biggest business ideas always come to him in the shower.

Elie Goldring, a visionary entrepreneur and EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) implementer, takes us inside the game-changing systems that turn struggling businesses into success stories. From his struggles with dyslexia to becoming a trusted business strategist, Elie proves that education doesn’t define success—action does. He dives deep into how structure and accountability create unstoppable companies, why he believes most businesses fail to scale, and the unbelievable story of how reading a single book overnight changed his entire career.

Together, Eli and Elie break down the myths of entrepreneurship, share hard-hitting lessons on branding and leadership, and reveal the mindset shifts that separate the successful from the stagnant.

Why did Eli Basch walk away from a high-paying job to start from scratch? How did Elie Goldring go from barely making it through school to coaching CEOs? And what is the one branding trick that could change your business overnight?
