The Second Bite Show
Real conversations with entrepreneurs who’ve built, exited, and come back for more.
Hosted by Clayton Turner — who knows exactly what that second bite tastes like.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Most entrepreneurship content stops at the win. The Second Bite Show starts there. Clayton interviews founders, operators, and investors who’ve been through the fire — exits, pivots, reinventions — and gets them to share what they actually learned. Not the press release version. The real version.

The Second Bite Show is a podcast hosted by Clayton Turner that focuses on entrepreneurs who have taken their second bite at business success. The show features founders who have built and sold businesses, navigated difficult pivots, or discovered unconventional paths to growth and freedom.
Each episode digs into the real story behind the business, not the polished version that gets shared on social media. Guests talk about what actually worked, what did not, and the hard lessons they learned along the way. Clayton asks the questions that most interviewers avoid.
The show is specifically designed for service business owners, local operators, and entrepreneurs in the $1M to $10M revenue range who are trying to figure out their next chapter. Whether that means scaling aggressively, preparing for an exit, or simply building a business that gives them more freedom, The Second Bite Show explores all of it.
New episodes are released regularly and available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms. Listeners can also submit questions or suggest topics through the website.

About The Second Bite Show
The Second Bite Show is a podcast hosted by Clayton Turner, entrepreneur, investor, and operator, dedicated to the stories and strategies behind buying, building, scaling, and exiting service businesses. The name reflects a core philosophy: the most experienced operators and investors know that the real value in business often comes from the second bite — the wisdom gained after the first rodeo, and the leverage created when you apply it systematically.
What the Show Is About
Every episode dives deep into the operational and strategic realities of running a service-based business in the $1M–$10M revenue range. Guests include founders who’ve navigated difficult exits, operators who’ve cracked the code on scaling without the owner, investors who’ve built portfolios of service businesses through smart acquisitions, and entrepreneurs who’ve turned around struggling companies into thriving ones.
Unlike many business podcasts that stay at a high level, The Second Bite Show is built around specifics — the actual frameworks, decisions, numbers, and hard-won lessons that made the difference. Clayton is known for asking the questions that get beneath the highlight reel and into the mechanics of what actually worked.
Who Listens to The Second Bite Show
The show attracts a highly engaged audience of service business owners, operators, and investors who are actively building or acquiring companies. Listeners typically run businesses in industries like home services, professional services, healthcare, construction, and B2B services. They tune in to get practical, experience-backed insights they can apply directly to the challenges they’re facing right now — not generic motivational content.
Many listeners are first-time acquirers navigating their first business purchase, or established operators looking to optimize their existing business before a future sale. The community that has grown around the show is one of its most valuable assets — a network of serious, experienced operators who share a commitment to building real businesses the right way.
Why The Second Bite Show Stands Out
There’s no shortage of business podcasts, but The Second Bite Show occupies a specific and valuable niche: the intersection of operations, acquisitions, and growth for service businesses below the institutional radar. Clayton brings his own experience as an operator and investor to every conversation, which means he can push past surface-level answers and draw out the tactical details that make episodes genuinely useful.
New episodes are released weekly and are available on all major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Whether you’re driving to a job site, reviewing a deal, or planning your next growth initiative, The Second Bite Show delivers the kind of content that makes the time feel well spent.
