🎙️ New Episode Alert: Underdawg Talk with Robin Banks! 🎙️
I'm excited to share the latest episode of Underdawg Talk, featuring the inspiring Robyn Banks, founder and owner of Banks Notoriety and Signing Agency. In this episode, we dive deep into her journey as an entrepreneur and the valuable lessons she's learned along the way. Here are three key takeaways that stood out to me:
The Power of Networking: Robin emphasizes the importance of networking in building a successful business. She shares how attending events and connecting with others in her industry opened doors she never expected. Networking isn't just about exchanging business cards; it's about forming genuine relationships that can lead to opportunities and growth. Remember, your network can significantly increase your net worth!
Resilience is Key: Entrepreneurship is not a smooth ride. Robin highlights the necessity of resilience in overcoming challenges. She reminds us that setbacks are a part of the journey, and it's crucial to pick ourselves up and keep moving forward. As she puts it, "Fall nine times, get up ten." This mindset is essential not only in business but in life as well.
Education and Experience Go Hand in Hand: While education is important, Robin believes that experience is the greatest teacher. She encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to seek out mentors and learn from their experiences. It's not just about what you know; it's about how you apply that knowledge in real-world situations. The combination of education and hands-on experience can set you apart in your field.
Join us as we explore Robin's journey, her passion for mentoring others, and her vision for the future of her business. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or someone looking to pivot in your career, this episode is packed with insights that can help you on your path to success.

Thank you God! Please give me strength and wisdom.
Becoming a millionaire is not about the money.
Yes, you heard that right.
The money is a tool that allows us to go get the things we ACTUALLY want.
Real success doesn't come from money.
It comes from the things money allows you to get.
A nicer home.
A good school for our kids.
A thriving business.
What is it that you want?

When Gregory Vetter took on Tessemae's debt, he knew there was no other way.
The business couldn’t be sold with that hanging over it, so he stepped up, saying, “I’ll stabilize it, renegotiate everything.”
He had tough conversations with retailers and suppliers, offering them a choice—nothing or getting the business back on track.
Fast forward to today, the business is thriving—stable, profitable, and growing—a true reflection of the American dream.
Greg’s story of grit is the perfect close to Season 2. Full episode in the comments.
