What if the key to building a thriving, multi-million-dollar company was rooted not in chasing profits, but in honoring people, purpose, and relationships? In this episode, Kevin Thompson talks with Shelly Berkowitz, founder of BrightStar Care and now CEO of Founder 2 Founder. She shares how a personal struggle to find quality home care for her grandmother in 2001 inspired her to create BrightStar Care, a company combining medical and non-medical services under one roof. Over two decades, Shelly grew the brand to more than 400 locations, serving thousands of families weekly while navigating the challenges of single motherhood, rapid franchising, and leading through COVID-19. When it came time to sell, she discovered that 80% of the process was emotional. Her insistence on finding a buyer who valued culture and quality over just money led her to Peak Rock Capital, where she remains a shareholder and board chair. Today, through Founder 2 Founder, Shelly helps other entrepreneurs prepare for scaling or selling, offering the kind of empathetic guidance she wished she'd had. This conversation is about vision, grit, and the relationships—from mentors and early franchisees to her husband that helped shape every step of her journey. [00:00 - 02:30] Introduction: Kevin Sets the Stage Kevin introduces the Million Dollar Relationships podcast and its mission Shoutout to the Quoted platform for connecting him with Shelly [02:31 - 10:55] Founding BrightStar Care Personal experience seeking better home care for her grandmother in 2001 Creating a company that offered both medical and non-medical care under one roof Commitment to paying caregivers above market rates [10:56 - 15:50] Rapid Growth and Franchising Success in the first three years leads Shelly to franchise BrightStar Care in 2005 Expansion to 450+ locations, serving 10–20K families weekly, employing 25K caregivers and 5K nurses [15:51 - 20:36] Navigating COVID and Shifting Roles Balancing business demands with raising twin boys, one with autism Decision to step back from day-to-day operations and focus on family [20:37 - 28:13] The Sale Process — and Walking Away Near-sale to a buyer who didn't align with her values Choosing Peak Rock Capital for cultural fit and quality focus Lessons learned: most of the sale process is emotional, not just transactional [28:14 - 41:18] Relationships that Shaped the Journey Mentors like Julie Beachy and Gloria Jean Ko Early franchisees who took a chance and helped shape the brand Key employees who continue her mission The personal relationship with her husband Sean that gave her strength during tough decisions Key Quotes “It's never been about money. It's been about doing the right things for families, caregivers, and franchisees.” — Shelly Berkowitz “Eighty percent of selling my company was emotional, not transactional.” — Shelly Berkowitz “If you're not ready to be done, don't sell.

In this episode, Craig McGrouther, Sam Morris and I break down Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and its massive implications for real estate investors. The return of 100% bonus depreciation is a game-changer, allowing investors to front-load tax benefits in year one of ownership. We discuss how wage growth has outpaced rent growth for 31 consecutive months (per Jay Parsons), creating a healthier rent-to-income ratio and setting up potential for future rent increases as new supply dwindles. We also address recent Houston foreclosure headlines, explaining how their focus on workforce housing in desirable locations differs fundamentally from distressed investment strategies. Key tax updates include no tax on tips (first $25K), overtime tax deductions, increased standard deductions, and permanent QBI benefits. For investors, these changes make cash-flowing real estate even more compelling versus taxable debt investments.Apply to attend the LSC Summit 2025:www.lscsummit.com Download our FREE Passive Investor Guide:https://www.lscre.com/content/passive-investor-guide Subscribe to our newsletter and get the FREE Underwriting Toolkit:https://www.lscre.com/resource/fof-underwriting-toolkitLearn more about Lone Star Capital:www.lscre.comFollow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-beardsleyRead my latest articles:https://www.lscre.com/blog

Travis McNamara was last week's guest as well. I split this conversation up into two episodes because most of the first half of the conversation was about Travis' new album and his career as a touring artist and front-person. The second half delves into a topic that piques the interest of almost every creative on the planet... crowdfunding. Travis is the founder of Arthouse Consulting, where he uses his experience to help mid-level artists raise $25K or more on Kickstarter for their upcoming projects.

The Fed just did nothing — again. No rate cut. But markets went haywire anyway. What's going on? Is Jerome Powell bluffing? Are gold bugs in denial? And why are traders like Tony Greer suddenly eyeing Bitcoin over precious metals?In today's episode of Milk Road Macro, we break down everything from the July FOMC meeting to the unseen forces driving the dollar, equities, crypto, and commodities. Legendary trader Tony Greer (ex-Goldman Sachs, founder of TG Macro) joins us to explain why Trump's pressure on rates, massive ETF inflows into Bitcoin, and gold's fake-out rally could define the second half of 2025.This is the kind of deep macro breakdown you won't get on CNBC.

These days, it's harder than ever for marginalized buyers to break into the market. Prices are high, lending rules are tighter, and misinformation is everywhere. The path to homeownership can feel impossible. Agents aren't off the hook either. With all the changes to buyer representation and compensation, agents are being asked to prove their value in every single deal, while trying to serve clients who need more help than ever. That's where Midwest Home M@tch comes in. We built an AI-powered referral network that connects agents with pre-approved, ready-to-go buyers. Especially those who qualify for down payment assistance, employer housing support, parishioner programs, and more. These aren't just leads, they're matches. And the system is built to help agents close deals that would otherwise fall through the cracks. What are some of the things you'll get with Midwest Home M@tch? How is this referral network different? In this episode, I'm joined by creative design, brand development expert, and my partner in Midwest Home M@tch, Anita Clinton. We get into how this all works, how agents can plug in, and why the future of real estate might just be about matching people to money, not just homes. If real estate agents implemented down payment assistance, 30% of deals that are canceled would be salvageable. -Marki Lemons Ryhal Things You'll Learn In This Episode The real estate anointing advantage How can you tell if a property has access to $25K in down payment assistance? How can you use that to market the home and keep your seller's concessions at zero? Reverse prospecting with precision What if you could clone a listing, test buyer demand across multiple price points, and already know what buyers are searching for before you even list? AI automation that actually closes deals How is Midwest Home M@tch using AI automation to pre-qualify buyers, trigger CRM workflows, and deliver leads with signed buyer agreements, all before they reach you? From overlooked to oversubscribed How can we stack grants, gift funds, and employer housing programs to revive up to 30% of canceled deals?

Growth is the goal for many trial attorneys — more cases, more verdicts, more visibility. But where most zig, Eric Fong zags. With just one paralegal and complete commitment to the work, he turned down a $25K offer and won a $91 million verdict — the largest in Washington State history. Eric doesn't chase scale.

In this conversation, Eric shares: How he's built a thriving practice around simplicity and selectivity The mental and emotional toll of high-stakes litigation — and how he manages it Why stepping away from the noise can sharpen your edge in trial And how generosity, rest, and storytelling shape the way he wins PIMCON 2025 Tickets On Sale Now.

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast and I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm pulling back the curtain on the five foundational visibility assets you need in your digital toolbox to land bigger, juicier corporate contracts. We're not talking fluff here—I'm giving you the same strategies I teach inside my She's LinkedUp programs that help smart, successful women position themselves for $25K, $50K, even $100K contracts. And here's the kicker: You probably already HAVE some of these assets… but you're underutilizing them. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com. About The Episode and Highlights: From optimizing your LinkedIn profile (yes, your profile is your FIRST proposal) to leveraging media mentions that borrow credibility when you're building your consulting brand, this episode walks you through the exact assets corporate buyers are looking for before they write those bigger checks. We're talking mindset shifts too—because if you're still settling for $5K contracts, it's time to shift into “I'm worth $25K” energy. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your LinkedIn profile isn't your resume—and how to reframe it as your biggest sales tool. The power of PR and media mentions (hint: it's not just for celebrities). Why case studies and testimonials matter more than perfection. How your LinkedIn company page acts as your digital storefront—even if you're a solo entrepreneur. Why consistent thought leadership content builds your trust factor and attracts higher-paying opportunities. This episode is your visibility wake-up call. Remember: People don't invest $50K in hidden geniuses. They invest in visible, credible leaders. Let's get you visible.

Let's be honest—undercharging isn't a mindset problem. It's a strategy gap.No one taught you how to sell what you do at the level it deserves… but that changes today. In this episode of The Influence Economy, I'm pulling back the curtain on how to finally price, position, and sell your premium offers without selling your soul—or hustling harder. Because the truth is, you don't need a bigger audience… you need better positioning. If your calendar is full, your energy is drained, and your income's not matching your impact, your business doesn't need another offer. It needs a better one. A high-ticket one. I'll walk you through: Why you're more ready for high-ticket than you think The 5 core elements of a premium offer that actually sells How to attract and close high-value clients without being “salesy” This episode is for the woman who's ready to ditch the low-ticket hustle and finally get paid in alignment with the power of what she does. What You'll Learn: Why high-ticket isn't just for coaches or influencers The mindset shift that helped me go from $5K to $25K offers How to reframe “sales” into empowered communication The premium offer checklist every entrepreneur needs Why “more deliverables” don't equal “more value” How to stop convincing and start clarifying your offer Resources Mentioned: DM Shayna your takeaway: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Your Next Steps: Access the Deal-Attracting Makeover to upgrade your messaging, authority signals, and brand presence so it speaks to the decision-makers who cut the checks: https://dealreadyplatform.com Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaynarattlerdavis

Why can't you sell grandma's famous cookies without jumping through government hoops? What if the biggest thing holding back local food entrepreneurs isn't the competition… it's the red tape? In this episode, we dive into the absurdity of cottage food laws, the bureaucratic roadblocks facing small business owners, and why government “help” is often anything but helpful. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS We're talking with writer and policy analyst Noah Gould, who breaks down his bombshell article from National Review about how Michigan's food entrepreneurs are getting choked out by outdated, confusing, and downright nonsensical regulations. Want to butter toast at an event? Better have a separate license. Want to scale past $25K in revenue? Hope you enjoy navigating six different regulatory agencies. This isn't just a Michigan problem – it's a national trend. The government claims it's keeping you “safe” with all these rules, but grocery stores don't even trust the bureaucrats. They demand third-party certifications anyway. So why does the state still get to decide which food is “worthy” of your plate? Brian and Noah don't stop at highlighting the problem – they expose the cronyism, the fear-based exceptions, and the outright hypocrisy in how regulations are enforced. And most importantly, they lay out how we can fight back: with smarter laws, voluntary standards, and a market that rewards real value – not political connections. Whether you're a food truck dreamer, a liberty-minded policy nerd, or just sick of overpriced junk food being your only option, this is the conversation you need to hear. This episode will get you fired up, hungry for change, and ready to push back against the bureaucratic nonsense that's killing small business in America. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast and I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. If you're still treating LinkedIn like it's a boring conference room from 2012… we need to talk. Like, now. In this week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich, I'm bringing my full Jersey energy to the mic and giving you the real talk on why LinkedIn is not optional anymore — especially for smart, accomplished women ready to step into their next-level income, impact, and influence. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com. About The Episode and Highlights: Whether you're a consultant, speaker, executive coach, or boardroom-bound powerhouse, your LinkedIn profile is either working for you 24/7… or whispering, “She's not ready.” I'm walking you through 10 unapologetic reasons to stop ghosting LinkedIn and start treating it like the high-ticket magnet it truly is. Spoiler alert: LinkedIn drives 80% of all B2B leads on social media — and if you're not part of that statistic, we're gonna fix that today. You'll learn: Why your LinkedIn profile is your first digital impression (and how to stop leaving money on the table). How to turn your existing network into a referral goldmine without cold pitching. Why thought leadership and PR visibility live (and thrive) on LinkedIn. What makes LinkedIn the only social platform where people are actually thinking about business when they log in.

Start treating it like the spotlight for the woman you're becoming, not the one you used to be.” “Your next client, your next board seat, your next speaking gig — they're all a connection away. But only if you show up like you're ready.” Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Connect with me on LinkedIn: Karen Yankovich — and peek at how I do this for myself.
