Sean Finnegan built Tax Hive to give 1099 earners and small business owners the kind of tax strategy the big firms usually reserve for their biggest clients. He breaks down the moves that actually move the needle: setting up an LLC and electing S-corp status to cut self-employment tax, stacking from up to 1,400 available deductions, using the Augusta rule to rent your home to your business tax-free, and writing off the interest on a made-in-USA vehicle. He also tells the raw story of raising 1.5 million, losing all of it, and clawing his way back through relationships.

Sean Finnegan is the founder of Tax Hive, a partner of Kevin O'Leary, and the creator of the X Room networking community. He sat down with D2D Experts' James Edwards to unpack tax strategy for the door-to-door world.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why an LLC plus an S-corp election cuts your self-employment tax
• How to stack from up to 1,400 business deductions
• The Augusta rule: renting your home to your business tax-free
• Writing off car-loan interest on a made-in-USA vehicle
• How Sean came back from losing 1.5 million

Here's the truth nobody tells you when you go 1099. It's not what you make, it's what you keep. Most reps hand the IRS thousands of dollars they never had to. Set up your structure, learn the deductions, and build the relationships that actually scale you. Don't leave money on the table.

On the CEO Roundtable, Sam Taggart talks with Austin Maser, founder of Maser Sales Training and a pest-control Golden Door winner. Austin shares his unlikely path: a BYU cheerleader who used to mock door-to-door guys, got wrecked selling solar, nearly gave up, then invested in himself, embraced being the "weird" one, and won a Golden Door. He breaks down the mindset that separates closers from quitters: unreasonable optimism, refusing to apologize on the doors, and not taking no personally.

Austin Maser is the founder of Maser Sales Training and a pest-control Golden Door winner who started out as a struggling door-to-door rep.

Questions this episode answers:

• How do you actually get good at door-to-door sales?
• How do you handle rejection on the doors?
• What mindset do top closers share?
• How do you come back after failing in sales?

What you'll learn in this episode:

James Edwards sits down with Ingage CEO Dean Curtis and account executive Mike "Sauce" to unpack why interactive, visual selling converts better than telling, how Ingage went from building the first interactive book apps at the dawn of the App Store to becoming the standard in home improvement sales, and how a team can be up and running in about five minutes. Then Dean turns it into a masterclass on running a company: how to set standards, how to delegate without losing quality, and why you should always be building a talent pipeline.

Dean Curtis is the CEO of Ingage (ingage.io), the interactive sales presentation platform used across home improvement and home services, with content partnerships spanning manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning, and James Hardie. He began his career at Apple building its worldwide partner program before coming over to lead Ingage. He's joined by Ingage account executive Mike "Sauce."

• Why do interactive presentations close better than paper or PowerPoint?
• How fast can a team actually get started with a tool like Ingage?
• What makes a company standard stick?

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why "facts tell, stories sell," and how showing beats telling at the door and the kitchen table
• How Ingage went from the first App Store book apps to the home improvement standard
• How a new team can go live in about five minutes, then customize over time
• Dean's "your standard is what you accept" rule and why it accelerates everything
• The 10-80-10 delegation method and the "get out of your office" habit

Dean's whole back half, standards, delegation, and a real talent pipeline, is exactly the operating system we help owners install.
