Marisa Murgatroyd started her career as an artist who was told by her father that she had no marketable skills. Marisa figured out how to build a multi-million business anyway and has shown over 16,000 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had "no marketable skills" or were told they couldn't do it. As the founder of Live Your Message & Creator of The Experience Formula, Marisa gets people so excited about changing their lives that they stop dreaming and start doing. She does this by creating what she call "Experience Products" (instead of more traditional online courses and information-based products). An Experience Product is an entirely new framework for creating online courses that combines the most powerful elements of gamification, behavioral design, adult learning psychology, and innovative curriculum design to create an engaging experience that gets people "hooked" on taking action and getting results. This approach is so effective that they have some of the highest success rates in the industry!

Chef Marci Schienbaum turned her passion for cooking into a thriving business that brings people together around the table. Here are 3 powerful takeaways from her journey on today's Think Business Series – What Are You Good At? with my co-host Jeff Gunsberg: 1️⃣ Reinvention is always possible. At 55, she shifted from sales to cooking full-time—and at 60, she runs a business on her terms. 2️⃣ Stay calm in the chaos. From forgotten ingredients to high-pressure dinner parties, her even temperament helps her adapt and thrive. 3️⃣ Share what you're good at. People need your gifts—whether it's cooking, sales, leadership, or mentoring. Marci reminds us that success isn't just about what you do—it's about the relationships you build, the memories you create, and the impact you leave behind.

Jon Dwoskin and Jeff Gunsberg talk with Terry Judge, Cost Segregation & Tax Strategy Expert and CEO of CORE Solutions Group about the overlooked power of cost segregation. Terry breaks down how this niche tax strategy helps real estate investors accelerate depreciation, unlock major tax savings, and boost cash flow—while staying fully IRS-compliant. He also shares insights on building a values-driven business and the mindset it takes to stand out in a crowded market. Key Takeaways: Cost segregation is a legal, IRS-backed strategy that accelerates depreciation to significantly reduce tax liability. Most CPAs don't offer it because it requires deep knowledge of tax law, engineering, and construction. Partnering with experts like CORE enables real estate investors to access hidden savings and avoid audit risk. Long-term business success comes from over-serving clients, building trust, and showing up with genuine care.

Jon and Jeff talk with Owen Garitty, founder and CEO of FPW Media, about how his early start in analog photography helped shape his unique approach to business and marketing. Owen shares lessons on trusting your instincts, challenging conventional wisdom, and why thoughtful storytelling is becoming more important than ever in a crowded digital world. Key Takeaways: Trust your gut and make decisions based on the best information you have, not consensus or outside noise. Don't be afraid to take a different path. Success often comes from doing what others think won't work. Give yourself space to think. Slowing down can lead to better ideas and fewer reactive decisions. In a world full of content, emotional storytelling is what makes a brand stand out. Authentic, tangible experiences still matter. Sometimes analog methods like printed materials can have a bigger impact than digital. Owen Garitty founded FPW Media in 2013 for a reason–to dismantle the extrinsic nature of a traditional marketing agency and forge a path for an innovative, fresh, and transformative creative vision. Today, that vision remains with FPW's three connective divisions: brand, films, and merchandise, which design and implement client services entirely in-house, effectively cutting out the potential for misinterpretation of any client's message or goals. FPW was founded as an "unagency"–a concept pioneered by Garitty that prioritizes a client-first outlook, meaning clients' visions come to life organically through unconventional but efficacious processes. Garitty has had an aptitude for photography since the age of ten when he got his first camera–a Pentax 35mm–and has since amassed over 15 years of photographic experience. He won his first photography award at thirteen, began working professionally at fifteen, and went on to pursue a career in visual storytelling that grew to encompass design, marketing, and creative direction. In a lifelong pursuit of creating compelling visual narratives, Garitty's passion lies in garnering brand recognition for his clients with impactful visuals and stimulating design. His profound understanding of the millennial zeitgeist makes him an invaluable asset in a new media landscape. Today, Garitty oversees brand vision and implementation for privately and publicly traded companies. He cultivates ongoing partnerships with a host of companies, ranging in specialty from large-scale manufacturers to apparel, agriculture, and heavy industrial equipment. He remains present and hands-on: clients have his personal cell phone number and can trust that Garitty is carefully guiding the creative direction of their project. In 2018, Garitty directed the award-winning and critically acclaimed film, Lionhearted, which elevates veterans' combat stories. The film focuses on the post-war lives of veterans, emphasizing the need for a sustained platform through which they can relay their experiences. The film's moving visuals, made up of interviews juxtaposed with combat footage, highlight the profound and moving realities of many of our nation's heroes. Garitty's passion for vivid visual storytelling continues to emanate from the page, screen, or billboard–venturing beyond the ordinary and garnering clients the recognition they want by involving viewers in the narrative. As someone who values place and community, Garitty ensures that FPW is regularly involved in projects with local organizations such as nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions. When he isn't at the office, Garitty can be found boxing, enjoying craft coffee, or gardening organic fruits and vegetables.

Brandon Jacobs, CEO and Founder of Current Charging, shares how caring deeply about clean energy drove him to leave a traditional career path and become a leader in EV infrastructure. With experience selling over 2,000 EV chargers nationwide, Brandon breaks down how following his passion, staying responsive, and focusing on real solutions helped him build a fast-growing company that's helping multifamily and commercial property owners increase their value with little to no upfront cost. His approach to entrepreneurship is rooted in caring, listening, and trusting that when you're in alignment with your values, business flows more naturally. Key Takeaways: Caring fuels clarity: You do your best work when you're genuinely invested in what you do. Passion isn't optional: If you don't believe in the product, it will feel like a hard sell. Entrepreneurship doesn't require a leap of faith—just a first step: You can always go back, but not starting is often the biggest regret. Listen before you pitch: Use tools like "the five whys" to uncover the real objection. Simple habits set you apart: Be reliable, respond promptly, and follow through.

Here's what I'm hearing in the field this week—real conversations, real patterns. 1 – Conferences don't end when the conference endsThe most important part of working a conference is actually after the conference. Most people do the "meeting before the meeting" well—setting up conversations ahead of time. Where 90–95% fall short is post-conference follow-up. Your follow-up plan should: -Be intentional -Start on day one of planning -Have a 6–12 month shelf life If the follow-up isn't tight, the conference ROI disappears fast. 2 – Your value shows up in the questions you askI keep seeing this: As someone's sense of value goes up, the quality of their questions improves. Simple. Direct. Curious. Too many people: -Take orders instead of guiding -Avoid asking deeper questions -Stay on the surface to feel "safe" But the real work happens below the surface. Better questions → better listening → clearer understanding of client pain. If someone is in the room with you, they already see your value. Step into it. 3 – Clarity removes friction—every timeHere's a simple rule I give clients: When managing people → they should always know what to do now and what to do next When working with clients → they should always know what you're doing now and what's coming next Over communicate. Confusion is optional. 4 – Knowledge isn't enough—translation is everythingYes, stay up-to-date with: -Podcasts -Articles -Real-time data -Industry signals But the biggest gap I see is here: Not explaining what it means to the client. They don't care how much you know. They care about: -What this means for them -How they should execute differently now -Translate. Simplify. Target it to their world"

A few patterns keep showing up in conversations with leaders and business owners: 1- The list everyone's avoiding A lot of people updated their holiday card list… …and realized there are a lot of people they haven't spoken to in months (or years). Action: -Make a master list of everyone you haven't connected with in the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 months — Pick up the phone and call them in January. 2- Planning is happening. Execution is pausing. January is already here. Waiting for the "right time" to ask for meetings or business slows momentum. Plan — yes. But leadership shows up in execution. 3- Social media is a multiplier, not a nice-to-have Your clients are on these platforms. If you're posting occasionally, generically, or waiting to be perfect — you're being forgotten. Be consistent. Be visible. Be you. Comment. Engage. Share perspective. Top of mind wins. 4- Don't run from AI — run toward it You don't need hours a day. Start with 1–5 minutes daily learning how to use it to think, write, and lead better.

How much business are you leaving on the table by not following up consistently? It's a question that comes up in nearly every sales conversation I have. The secret sauce to growing your business is productivity. The more productive you are, the more consistent your follow-up, and the faster your pipeline grows. That's where AI — especially ChatGPT — can help. ✅ 1. Ask it to write a 3-email follow-up sequence for your leads. ✅ 2. After every call, have it summarize your notes and action items with deadlines. ✅ 3. When following up with value, have it summarize an article into 2–3 insights your client would find useful. AI won't replace your authenticity — it amplifies it.
