Meet Russell Shepard. Former NFL wide receiver who's now running a porta-potty business.
Year 2 he made $1M? (more than ever in the NFL)
It started when he played for the Giants. He noticed the city filled with trash at night. By morning? All gone. He knew someone was making bank on all that waste.
So with his NFL earnings, Russell bought:
- A vacuum truck with a 2,000-gallon tank
- 125 portable toilets
- 50 hand wash stations
- 20 holding tanks
- Some nearby land
His first few months of recurring revenue:
- Month 1-2: $6k
- Month 2-3: $12k
- Month 3-4: $18k
By year 2 they'd hit $1M in revenue. Now multi-millions.
How it grew so fast? reviews and referrals.
His company Shep Boys manages waste from construction sites to disaster zones. Simple model, recurring revenue, commercial contracts.
I will say - I've never been so close to throwing up when visiting a small business before.
But Russell doesn't care what it smells like. He cares what it pays.
1997 NBA Finals Game 6 Begins:
It’s the iconic NBA on NBC intro, the legendary voice of Marv Albert, and the build-up to one of the most unforgettable Finals ever. This isn't just basketball; this is cinema.
Right after Jordan’s legendary Flu Game, Game 6 kicks off like a blockbuster movie. Goosebumps from the first note of the theme music.
Straight from the original VHS tape.
Sit back and relive how the '90s really felt.

Randall Cunningham makes an incredible play to avoid the rush, then throws a 💣 to Barnett for a 95 yard touchdown

RIP DJ Screw.
November 16, 2000.
Screw tapes were so popular, he had to install a front gate to keep people out of his house & control customer flow. He'd have cars lined up for blocks. Houston PD searched his house numerous times after receiving complaints from neighbors.
Deion Sanders has nothing on Jerry Burns who goes on a tirade after the crowd 👎 Bob Schnelker on November 5 1989 after a #Vikings win over the #Rams
Jerry swears like a sailor in this clip, he also has the greatest 🎤 drop in the history of press conferences

Roberto Duran entered this bout with Thomas Hearns 16 years and 82 fights into his legendary career. He’d never been knocked out. Then he got hit with the most perfect right hand I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
