The Made It podcast has been launched as part of an initiative called My Second Million.
Set up by entrepreneurs Connor Tomkies and Andrew Warner, My Second Million is made up of two parts. One part is a membership cooperative, where founders/entrepreneurs can connect, attend events and more. The second part is the Made It podcast.
Connor Tomkies is the business mind behind the $65 million success story of SupportNinja, and Andrew Warner is renowned for capturing the essence of thousands of visionary startup triumphs through his Mixergy interviews.
The Made It podcast is hosted by Connor Tomkies and delves into the journeys of successful entrepreneurs who have not only built and exited their companies, but who are writing the next chapter of their journeys.
The show focuses on the challenges and lessons learned while scaling beyond the initial million-dollar milestone, offering insights and strategies for listeners aiming to grow their own businesses.
Guests so far include the likes of Alex Lieberman, who co-founded Morning Brew newsletter, which he sold for $75 million, and Jeremy Parker, who scaled Swag.com to $40 million in sales before it was acquired by Custom Ink.
Connor Tomkies said: “Building a successful company is a monumental achievement, but the journey doesn’t stop at making the first million. With My Second Million, we’re not just creating a community; we’re spearheading a movement towards more meaningful, relationship-driven growth strategies.
“In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping traditional marketing approaches, one area of focus with Incendium Strategies is nurturing direct, authentic connections. By prioritising community-driven live events and thought leadership, we offer entrepreneurs and marketers innovative ways to engage and succeed in a landscape transformed by technology.”
Andrew Warner added: “Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with entrepreneurs who’ve changed the world.
“Time and again, the value of community and shared learning has emerged as a key factor in their success. My Second Million is our way of bringing that community spirit to the forefront, facilitating a dialogue that enriches the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
Podcast guest, Alex Lieberman commented: “Community is the cornerstone of entrepreneurship. It’s where ideas are shared, challenges are met with collective wisdom and growth is fuelled by collaboration.
“I’m thrilled to share my journey and insights with Made It podcast listeners and I firmly believe in the model that Andrew and Connor have put together. Their commitment to creating a space where entrepreneurs can connect and support each other is not just commendable — it’s essential for sustainable business growth.”
