On this episode of Passion to Profession, Brett sits down with Bryan Thiessenhusen, CEO of Black Gold
Sports Cards.

Bryan didn’t start with an advantage. He started with tubs of cards, a full-time accounting job, and a willingness to take risk.

What followed was a fast build.

He turned grading prep into revenue.
Turned live streaming into scale.
Turned a side hustle into a 30+ person operation.

In this conversation, Bryan breaks down:

How he used his accounting background to build systems and track every dollar
Why being early and doing what others avoid created momentum
The role of content in driving growth and attention
What most people get wrong about risk, work ethic, and scaling in the hobby
How culture and trust became the foundation of Black Gold

This is a conversation about building something real.

If you’re collecting, operating, or thinking about turning your passion into a business, this one will make you think.
