The truth is, everyone has the same 24 hours. The difference is how we use them—and what we decide to prioritize.

He also shares how auditing your time, eliminating excuses, and building non-negotiable habits can improve your business, health, mindset, and relationships.

If you constantly feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day, this episode will challenge you to take an honest look at where your time is going—and start using it with intention.

• How to perform an honest audit of your day

• Why taking care of yourself helps you perform at a higher level

In this episode of the Fuel Your Drive Podcast, Josh York sits down with Jordan Karcher, founder and CEO of Shop with Eileen, to uncover what it truly takes to build a successful business from the ground up.



Jordan shares how he started his first company with limited money, no entrepreneurial background, and no proven playbook. After bootstrapping Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co., growing it for 10 years, and eventually selling the company, he used those hard-earned lessons to build Shop with Eileen—a technology platform helping emerging consumer brands compete and scale in physical retail.



Josh and Jordan discuss how to start a business without perfect resources, why entrepreneurs should focus on solving real problems, how financial constraints can create better decisions, and what it takes to handle the constant pressure of entrepreneurship. They also explore founder-led culture, building a team that can scale, staying disciplined during difficult seasons, and why execution will always matter more than having a great idea.



If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, startup founder, or aspiring CEO looking for practical business advice and an honest conversation about building a company, this episode is for you.



In this episode:



* How to start a business with limited money and resources

* Why execution matters more than the original idea

* Bootstrapping and growing a consumer brand

* Handling pressure as an entrepreneur and CEO

* Building company culture while scaling

* Using constraints as a strategic advantage

* Creating systems that allow a business to grow

* Knowing when to take the first step
