Brian Anthony Moreland is the only Black lead producer currently on Broadway — a two-time Tony Award nominee who has grossed over $100 million with productions like Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. He joined me on How Success Happens to talk about forging a groundbreaking career in one of the most competitive industries on earth as his new show, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, prepares to open. I’ve broken down his insights to help put your personal success in the spotlight in three, two, one!

Three Key Insights

1. The Power of Passion-Fueled Work

Brian didn’t set out to be a producer — he set out to be a performer. It all started in third grade, when a teacher cast him as Santa Claus in a school play called Be What You Want to Be. “I can’t remember anything that happened. Once the lights went up and they came down, all I knew is that I wanted to do it again, like your favorite rollercoaster ride,” he told me. That single moment hooked him on theater for life — and eventually led him to a career managing multimillion-dollar productions. Today, his budgets range from $7.5 million to $16 million, and he manages it all with skills he learned entirely on the job — no business school required.

Takeaway: Don’t wait until you have all the credentials — pursue what moves you emotionally and trust that the skills will follow.

2. Listen First, Solve Second

When things go sideways (and in live theater, they always do), Brian’s secret weapon is deceptively simple: actually listen. He described walking onto a chaotic load-in for a touring production to find his lighting designer, sound designer, and general manager all standing in separate corners, not speaking. “I walked each one privately to one side of the room to ask them what transpired and what do they need,” he shared. The culprit? Faulty information from the incoming theater — not anyone on his team. Blame was replaced by apologies, and the show went on. His philosophy: “It’s not about the blame, it’s about the actual problem and where is it that we’re trying to go.”

Takeaway: The next time conflict erupts in your organization, resist the urge to fix things while someone is still talking — fully absorb the problem before proposing any solution.

3. Be a Vessel for the Work

Brian has spent time alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment — Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal, and now Taraji P. Henson and Cedric “The Entertainer” in the upcoming Joe Turner’s Come and Gone on Broadway this spring. When asked what he’s learned about sustained success from legends like Denzel, his answer was striking in its simplicity: “It’s about being a vessel for the art. It’s about one show, one script, one story at a time.” Brian chooses every project the same way — by how it makes him feel, never by how important he thinks it is. As he put it, “I can tell you how the show makes me feel, and I hope that if you want to feel that way for two and a half hours, then this is the show I invite you to see.”

Takeaway: Ask yourself: Am I doing this because I genuinely care about it, or because I think I should care about it? Audiences — and customers — can always tell the difference.

Equinox’s $40,000-a-year “Optimize” membership has amassed a waitlist of more than 1,000 people, CNBC recently reported. The membership has attracted attention because it is less a gym pass and more a concierge-style program targeted squarely towards wealthy clients.

A regular Equinox membership in New York City, for instance, costs anywhere from $215 to $395 per month, depending on club access and not including initiation fees. The basic membership includes unlimited access to group fitness classes and gym equipment. Some locations include pools, saunas and cold plunges. 

In contrast, Equinox structured its Optimize membership as a comprehensive health and performance program rather than traditional gym access. Under the program, which started in 2024, Equinox assigns members a core team that includes a trainer, a nutrition coach, a sleep coach and a massage therapist, coordinated by a dedicated concierge who synthesizes their data and plans. Clients do not have to be existing Equinox members to join the waitlist. Optimize members have to purchase a regular Equinox gym membership separately, adding to the cost. 

Programming is highly structured. Optimize promises three 60‑minute personal training sessions per week, plus short, recurring consults with nutrition and sleep specialists and monthly massage therapy, adding up to about 16 hours of one-on-one services per month.

The membership also integrates extensive lab work and diagnostics, testing roughly 100 biomarkers twice a year and feeding those results into customized training and recovery plans.

Why there’s a 1,000-person waitlist

Harvey Spevak, Equinox’s executive chairman, told CNBC that Equinox has seen strong demand for Optimize, which demonstrates broader “insatiable” demand for longevity and wellness offerings. He did not disclose how many Optimize memberships Equinox has granted. 

“Health is the new luxury,” Spevak told the outlet. “The number one thing in the experience economy, besides travel, that the consumer wants is, ‘How do I live a high-performance lifestyle?’”

The Global Wellness Institute estimates the global wellness economy could approach nearly $10 trillion by 2029, up from $6.8 trillion in 2024. The leap underscores how aggressively consumers, especially the affluent, are spending on health optimization. 

The scarcity element is working, too. Equinox rolled out Optimize in Los Angeles and Dallas first, with New York on deck, creating geographic and operational capacity limits that help fuel a sense of exclusivity.

For Equinox, the Optimize member isn’t just a gym client; they’re a recurring-revenue customer in a sector where spending is growing faster than traditional fitness, per CNBC. They’re the reason why a $40,000 membership can sell out. 

A comparable high-end gym membership is the annual pass for Lanserhof at The Arts Club in London. Membership ranges from around $8,760 to $20,200 per year for gym access layered on top of diagnostics, therapies and longevity treatments. 

Equinox currently operates 115 fitness clubs worldwide and plans to open 40 more, per CNBC. Spevak declined to disclose financials, but told CNBC that 2025 was a “record year” financially and he expects 2026 “to be even bigger.”

This Side Hustle Spotlight Q&A features Jessica Davidoff, 43, of Sag Harbor, New York. Davidoff is the founder of the corn-free, sorghum-based snack brand Cob. Responses have been edited for length and clarity. 

Sign up for the Money Makers newsletter to get weekly, expert-backed tips to help you earn more money — from real people who founded and scaled successful businesses. Get it in your inbox.

What was your day job or primary occupation when you started your side hustle?
I was a turnaround CEO for consumer and celebrity-led brands.

When did you start your side hustle, and where did you find the inspiration for it?
I started tinkering with the idea for Cob in 2021. My older son had several severe medical issues at the time: all of his hair fell out, his nails peeled completely off, he was covered in eczema and psoriasis, and he was vomiting most days and had excruciating gastro pain.

I had always hypothesized that his issues were food related because they started when I stopped breastfeeding, but 32 doctors dismissed me. I ended up taking matters into my own hands and discovered he was allergic to corn — and all 1,800-plus corn derivatives. Once we went completely corn-free, all of his medical problems vanished. The only problem was that I was a popcorn addict and used to eat it every day. 

I was determined to find a corn-free popcorn alternative and bought tons of ancient grains that I had never heard of. Most grains tasted more like a bad rice cake, and then I discovered sorghum, which pops just like corn and is a true nutritional powerhouse. I started making popped sorghum every day, and friends fell in love with it. That’s when I got the initial inkling that this could become “a thing.”

Investing $150,000 to start the side hustle

What were some of the first steps you took to get your side hustle off the ground? How much money/investment did it take to launch?
As a serial entrepreneur, I didn’t want to launch something unless I knew it could be a viable business. My first steps were just perfecting my home recipes and methods, and then I started talking to copackers (companies that manufacture and package products for other businesses) to see if this would be something I could make profitably at a reasonable price at scale.

Once I determined that the numbers were there, I did a small production run so I could do a beta test at local farmers markets and specialty retailers in the Hamptons. I put in about $150,000 of my own money to fund the initial beta test, which helped me tremendously in learning people’s preferences for flavor profiles, bag sizing, pricing and the marketing messaging that resonated most. 

Are there any free or paid resources that have been especially helpful for you in starting and running this business?
I spent 20 years as either a founder or CEO, so I have what feels like a lifetime of knowledge built up about the mistakes to avoid in launching a consumer brand. I definitely had a leg up on a first-time founder; however, this was my first food company, and I’ve found the Startup CPG slack group and resources to be extremely valuable. Newsletters like Express Checkout and Snaxshot also helped me understand trends and all the news in the CPG and food worlds.

Demand planning for the side hustle’s early stages

When it comes to this specific business, what is something you’ve found particularly challenging and/or surprising that people who get into this type of work should be prepared for, but likely aren’t?
I’ve been at the helm of a variety of different businesses — beauty, fashion, home goods, tech — and food is by far the hardest. Not only does your product have an expiration date, but ingredient prices change, and supply can be limited based on harvests. I would say demand planning for an early stage in the 0-1 phase of a food business is so incredibly challenging and should really be a main area of focus for anyone trying to jump into the food business. 

Can you recall a specific instance when something went very wrong — how did you fix it?
We had so many hurdles getting Cob to our “launch.” Our first copacker who we did all of our initial recipe tests with was acquired right before we were about to do our first production run, so we had to go back to the drawing board and find a new copacker, which is essentially like starting from scratch because processes and recipes drastically change based on the different types of machines used.

Then, we moved over to a second copacker with much higher minimums, did several trials, landed on final recipes and did our first large scale production run only to realize that they’d used the wrong oil for the entire run. We made the call to throw out all the product and thought we would be able to just do another run, but then learned that they were selling their popcorn equipment, and we had to start over again.

Over two decades as an entrepreneur, I’ve learned that you just have to fervently believe that no problem is unsolvable so that you can keep rolling with the punches and trust in the divine timing of the universe.

Hitting nearly $400,000 revenue in the first month

How long did it take you to see consistent monthly revenue? How much did the side hustle earn?
It literally happened in our first month — which is insane! I had done a really small beta test with our product in the summer and fall of 2024 at local farmers markets and specialty retailers in the Hamptons. That gave me tons of data that I used to bring Novak Djokovic on as my cofounder and raise a $5 million seed round. We then did an official launch for preorders on November 1, 2025 and started shipping out in mid-December. We had our first full month of sales in January and hit nearly $400,000 in revenue on our website alone.

What does growth and revenue look like now?
When you 10x month over month, everything breaks — in the best way possible. So right now, we’re seeing insane growth and revenue for February (we sold out of our Valentine’s Day gift box in two days and then restocked it and sold out again!) and are just trying to ramp up our production and fulfillment as much as possible so we can turn on even more top of funnel marketing channels.

Drawing on “the perfect amalgamation” of skills

What do you enjoy most about running this business?
This business is honestly beyond special to me because it was inspired by my kids’ food allergies and is truly an example of finding the reason in something that was so hard and so tragic for so long. I feel like it is really the perfect amalgamation of all the skills I’ve learned over the years in all of my founder and turnaround CEO roles, but day to day, the best thing is our amazing team members that just blow me away with their can-do spirits, crazy work ethics and insane vibes. 

What is your best piece of specific, actionable business advice?
I think the best piece of advice I could offer any entrepreneur is to define what success looks like for you (i.e. do you want a nice lifestyle business to allow you to provide for your family while caring for your kids full time, is it a billion dollar exit in five years, etc.) and then create the plan that points you in the direction of your definition of success and take the first leap.

Then, validate your idea, and once you’ve done that, your next step should be to determine whether your idea is actually a viable business. Once you do those tests, build your team, gather the funds and hit the ground running — and remember that you as the founder set the pace. Don’t stress yourself out trying to keep up with someone else. Also, make sure to breathe, smile and have fun!

We are living through the age of brand-built entertainment.

This is not a marketing trend, and it is not a creative fad. It is a structural shift in how attention is earned, how trust is built, and how value is created. Brands are no longer competing only with each other. They are competing with entertainment, culture and story itself.

For decades, brands relied on repetition and interruption. You bought media, you pushed messages and you hoped frequency would do the work. That model is breaking down because attention has fundamentally changed. Audiences are more selective, more distracted and far less tolerant of anything that feels like an advert. The moment something feels transactional, people scroll past it.

As a result, brands are struggling to sell to their customers in the normal way. Not because their products are worse, but because the mechanics of persuasion have shifted. People do not want to be marketed to. They want to feel something. They want to be engaged. They want to be drawn into a narrative in which they recognise themselves.

Content is changing

That is why we are seeing such a sharp rise in vertical dramas, short-form series, mini dramas and episodic storytelling designed specifically for mobile and social platforms. These formats are not a downgrade from television. They are a response to how people actually consume content today. Short episodes, strong hooks, emotional continuity and characters that return again and again.

What brands are beginning to understand is that audiences do not build relationships with products. They build relationships with stories. When a brand becomes part of a story world, rather than an interruption around it, the dynamic changes completely. Trust forms, then memory and then attachment.

This is where brands stop behaving like advertisers and start behaving like media companies.

At that point, the focus shifts away from surface-level messaging and towards meaning. It is no longer about how a product looks, but what it represents. This is not a new idea. It is an old one, articulated long before marketing departments existed.

As Aristotle remarked, “Art aims to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” That is exactly what is happening now. Brands that move into storytelling are no longer selling features. They are expressing values, identity and emotional truth.

I have been working at the intersection of brands and media for over twenty years, and the last five in particular have made this shift impossible to ignore. Media companies are learning how to think like brands, and brands are learning how to build studios, intellectual property and story engines. The line between the two has collapsed because audiences no longer separate them. They only decide what is worth their time.

AI has accelerated this change, but it has not altered the fundamentals. Production is faster, distribution is cheaper and experimentation is easier than ever. But as the volume of content increases, meaning becomes scarcer. Technology does not replace storytelling. It amplifies the importance of those who know how to do it well.

Experienced storytellers are valuable

This is why experienced storytellers are becoming more valuable, not less. In a world flooded with content, the ability to build character, tension and emotional payoff is the real competitive advantage. Brands that understand this are no longer running campaigns. They are building worlds. They are thinking in seasons, not slogans.

In the age of brand-built entertainment, the brands that win will not be the loudest or the most visible. They will be the ones who create stories people choose to spend time with. They will stop renting attention and start earning it. They will move from selling products to creating meaning.

And this is where it ultimately leads, just as it always has.

As Plato said, “Those who tell the stories rule society.”

Warning to executives: Don’t get too comfortable in your corner office. Nearly one in nine CEOs was replaced last year, the highest rate since the financial crisis, and CFO turnover hit a seven-year high, according to new data from Russell Reynolds Associates.

The replacements are younger and greener. More than 80% of the 168 incoming CEOs were first-timers with no prior experience running public companies. Two-thirds have never served on a corporate board. Some companies that brought in new CEOs this year include Walmart, Procter & Gamble, Disney, PayPal, and HP.

What’s driving the shift? AI disruption, unraveling trade practices, and an unsettled economy are forcing boards to rethink leadership. But there’s also burnout. Retirements accounted for 60% of CFO departures, with many veterans opting for board work or advisory roles over grueling schedules.

There’s a reason you’re reading this post right now. Maybe you follow me on social media because you’re familiar with my business. Maybe you were scrolling through your newsfeed and the headline caught your eye. Or maybe you’re a founder researching ways to write content that sticks, and this was one of the top results in the queue.

I may be a tech guy at heart, but writing articles like these is a part of my job that I take very seriously. My journey as a bootstrapped founder has been pretty unique, and I love to share my insights and lessons learned with others who may be traveling along a similar path.

But there’s another dimension, too. I want to be embedded in the communities that I think Jotform should reach. If you know me, and my product feels familiar, you’re more likely to think of us the next time you need an online form builder.

To pose a slightly modified version of the classic question: If you build a world-class product that no one knows about, does it even exist? The answer is simple — no.

Producing high-quality content is a great way for users to get to know you and what makes your business unique. Millennial and Gen Z consumers in particular want to understand a company’s values, motivations and intentions before they’re willing to spend their money. Brands that consistently publish thoughtful, well-crafted content are more likely to earn trust and long-term loyalty than those that simply push products or promotions.

But while there’s certainly no shortage of corporate content, many businesses fall short of hitting the “high-quality” mark. There’s a lot of bad writing and AI slop out there these days — some researchers place that figure as high as 50%. If you really want your voice to stand out, you have to offer something people can’t get anywhere else. Here’s how to do it.

Sign up for the Entrepreneur Daily newsletter to get the news and resources you need to know today to help you run your business better. Get it in your inbox.

Know your audience

Before you begin building a product, you want to understand who’s likely to use it. The same goes for your writing. Who is your target audience? What insights do you specifically have to offer, and why should they care?

I’ll use myself as an example. I’m a voracious reader, and I spend a lot of time consuming both traditional publications and posts in online forums. I love to get a sense of the conversations happening in the tech world. Spending time in these communities gives me a window into current trends, shared frustrations and the kinds of problems people are trying to solve.

I’ve long posted on forums like Reddit and Indie Hackers, a habit that became even more ingrained as I prepared to release my first book. Not only was I able to figure out what subjects resonated with my target audience, but being an involved part of these online communities meant that once the book was done, I could share it there, knowing I’d have at least a small instant readership. Going back even further, actively participating in various startup forums allowed me to build relationships with people who would later become Jotform users.

Be genuine

If you follow my work, you probably know quite a bit about my life. You know I’m a husband, a father and that I love spending time on my family’s olive farm in my native Turkey. You probably also know that one of my life’s missions is to eliminate all forms of busywork and create more time and space for the sorts of ambitious projects that give us purpose.

But you also know that the process of building my company has not been a straight line. I’ve written extensively about my missteps, struggles and the things I wish I had done differently. I share these insights both because I want others to learn from my mistakes, and also because I don’t want to create the impression that building my business has been easy — it hasn’t. I’ve always loved Shoe Dog, the memoir by Nike founder Phil Knight, because it charts the tough road from Nike’s unglamorous early days to its current status as a global sportswear superpower. It’s hard to imagine anyone as successful as Knight having undergone prolonged periods of struggle. And yet that’s exactly what makes his story so compelling.

Being willing to share the less-than glamorous aspects of your journey isn’t showing weakness; it’s showing vulnerability. If you want your readers — and customers — to understand where you’re coming from, you have to be willing to reveal the ugly along with the good.

Be consistent

As much as everyone loves a viral moment, that isn’t where real impact comes from. Instead, think of content as a long-term investment. Winning the SEO game requires consistently producing genuinely useful, well-written posts that spark interest and earn backlinks from other sites. It won’t happen overnight — patience and persistence are key.

It’s also prudent to start generating content before you actually release your product to build excitement. In the past, founders had to rely on paid advertising and media placements to get eyeballs on their businesses. Today, social platforms, forums and self-publishing tools make it possible for anyone to grow a substantial audience if they’re willing to put in the effort. If you already have an audience — even a small one — you have an engaged group of readers you can point toward your product the moment it launches.

For the tech-minded, it’s easy to dismiss content as frivolous. But take it from me: Your product, no matter how useful or innovative, will not speak for itself. You don’t have to be a professional writer or producer. But being able to communicate your story and your “why” will set you apart in a world crowded with noise.

Entrepreneurs don’t usually struggle with ideas, but they can struggle with organization. Between pitch decks, product roadmaps, and marketing plans, information can get scattered across documents.

Hive AI provides an infinite canvas for sketching business concepts and mapping operational processes, alongside document creation and organized databases for tracking projects. The AI tool allows you to edit business plans for tone and clarity, generate executive summaries, create mind maps to break down complex initiatives, and produce presentation-ready slides in moments.

For business owners, the value lies in speed and cohesion

• Agencies can brainstorm campaigns, draft client proposals, and manage deliverables in one environment.
• Product teams can map feature roadmaps visually while keeping technical specs and timelines connected.
• Consultants and solo founders can turn rough concepts into structured plans and investor-ready decks without juggling multiple subscriptions.
• Operations teams can visualize workflows and refine processes without exporting files between tools.

For entrepreneurs who are looking to streamline collaboration, accelerate planning, and simplify their tech stack, Hive AI is a one-time investment that could make day-to-day execution more efficient. A lifetime subscription to the basic plan is currently on sale for $39 (reg. $204).
