The Problem With Having Multiple Businesses | Social Proof Podcast

Author: Social Proof Network August 13, 2026 Duration: 45:01

What does it really take to grow as an entrepreneur without spreading yourself too thin?

In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the dangers of trying to build multiple businesses before mastering one. They share what it actually looks like behind the scenes to manage multiple brands, build strong communities, develop new ideas, and still stay focused on the work that created success in the first place.

David and Donni also discuss the evolution of their brands, building The Selection Process, lessons from Invest Fest, and why entrepreneurship should change you internally instead of only being about money and transactions.

If you’re constantly jumping from idea to idea, trying to build multiple income streams, or wondering when it’s time to expand into something new, this conversation is for you.
