In Episode 10 I speak to 2 small business owners in Texas who are using the disruption of Covid to rejigger their business models - in two completely opposite ways.    Our first guest - from Episode 4: Disruptions In The Supply Chain -  is our Austin Mr. Fix It, Matt McCorkle of Handyman Matt who has downsized his  operations for good. And our second guest, new business owner Justin Limburg of Stone Bros Pizza in San Antonio was a long time chef, laid off by the pandemic, who used this moment as the opportunity to hang his shingle and gain control over life's ups and downs by bringing pizza to the masses.  If there is a silver lining to Covid, it's that it taught us what's most valuable to all of us individually…  we all got a moment to look inside and ask, what do I want most and how do I shift my operating model to accomplish that and not just let my business run me instead.
First up is Matt McCorkle with Handyman Matt, a handyman turned General Contractor who's realized when he had it all that maybe he'd actually had his fill - and he made a choice to downsize his business back to being a one-man-operation. He's lived through the boom and although there is money to be made, he's decided he's not going back into the mindset that being a bigger business is necessarily better.This episode of Emerging Texas Strong is sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance Company, a leading worker's comp provider in Texas, and is a production of Earnest Media.  If you are interested in sponsoring a heartful podcast focused on the journey of Texas business owners for a focused market audience email, contact@EmergingTexassStrong.com

Like i said, it gets complex! And we're all riding on this rollercoaster every day since the pandemic started! Remember the shortage of hand sanitizer and PPE?

From Episode 2, Laura Del Villagio, master milliner and owner of Milli Starr, based in Austin.

I was introduced to Ed Curtis, the CEO of an organization called YTexas (which is the Letter Y and the word, Texas), it's an organization that offers support to business owners looking to relocate or start new  businesses in the great state of Texas. I quickly became fascinated with his organization, that there is a group who is making it easier for companies to move here.I was really excited to talk to the business owners on today's episode, Tim Stack of Silicon Hills Auctions & Byron Smith of XSpace, in order to find out first hand what's drawing people here.This episode of Emerging Texas Strong is sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance Company, a leading worker's comp provider in Texas, and is a production of Earnest Media.  If you are interested in sponsoring a heartful podcast focused on the journey of Texas business owners for a focused market audience email, contact@EmergingTexassStrong.com

In Season 1, Episode 2 our show was on “The Pivot” and we checked in with business owners on what they were doing to stay relevant and productive during the pandemic. And as the world turned, it shifted… business analysts say we've moved 5-10 years into the future when it comes to how many people are placing online grocery store orders for pick-up, or services like Door Dash, and other virtual service sector businesses.So for Episode 2 of Season 2 - I checked in with Texas business owners to find out how the pivots they made to become leaner and more agile in the roughest points of the pandemic have come back to HELP them in the recovery! In an episode I'm calling: Leaner, Faster, and ready for Big Growth. So let's find out what the recovery looks like for 3 different business owners, Laura Del Villaggio of Milli Starr, a Master Milliner; Jayce McQuerter of the multi-city pet service company, My Dog Butler; and Dick Monday & Tiffany Riley of The Laughter League that provide hospital clowning to children's hospitals in the North Texas area. This episode of Emerging Texas Strong is sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance Company, a leading worker's comp provider in Texas, and is a production of Earnest Media.  If you are interested in sponsoring a heartful podcast focused on the journey of Texas business owners for a focused market audience email, contact@EmergingTexassStrong.com

But there's no doubt that in physics and the economy any action has an opposite but equal reaction and we're seeing that now.Episode 1 of Season 2 is titled Boom Time and we're talking to businesses that are thriving even though a year ago the prognosis was uncertain. None of these companies was deemed “essential” at the start - but I think each one has proven that they're essential, as we'll see, they're the fabric of life in Texas and they help keep us optimistic, fed, and give us a sense of hope for the future that the pieces of our past will still be here when we all Emerge Texas Strong. This episode of Emerging Texas Strong is sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance Company, a leading worker's comp provider in Texas, and is a production of Earnest Media.  If you are interested in sponsoring a heartful podcast focused on the journey of Texas business owners for a focused market audience email, contact@EmergingTexassStrong.com

Today we wrap up with a peek at the Silver Linings. And the thing about silver linings is that it truly is the sun peeking out from behind the dark clouds, as a promise that it won't always be this way, and that there is beauty to be found even now in the dark times.This episode of Emerging Texas Strong is sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance Company, a leading worker's comp provider in Texas, and is a production of Earnest Media.  If you are interested in sponsoring a heartful podcast focused on the journey of Texas business owners for a focused market audience email, contact@EmergingTexassStrong.com

I'm going to ask you the elephant in the room question right now; do you still love running your business? And if not, do you have an Exit Strategy? Exit Strategy is one of those things we small & medium size business owners may not have thought about before. But life happens. It could be a Pandemic, a shift in life-goals, a health issue, or just a good old-fashioned retirement - but it at some point you'll need to ask, “What do I do with what I've built? Does it have a cash-out value? And does that value match the price tag someone else is be willing to pay for it? We ask this question because whether or not we have any intention to leave our company - THIS single exercise - of planning for an exit can actually ensure that you come out of 2021 stronger, make running your business easier, set you up for being able to sell in the future or just put you back into more of a flow state for when we return to business as usual.
