Alex Smereczniak's entrepreneurial journey began in college, where he scaled a simple laundry service into a $300,000 a year business with a single, brilliant marketing hack. That early success was so powerful that he walked away from a prestigious corporate job after just 18 months, convinced the 9-to-5 was a broken system. His next venture led him into the world of franchising, where he uncovered its dark side: an industry filled with biased brokers and misaligned incentives. To fix this, he built Franzy, a revolutionary AI-powered marketplace known as the "Zillow for franchises," designed to bring transparency and data-driven matching to aspiring entrepreneurs.In this episode, Alex demystifies the path to successful business ownership and breaks down who franchising is truly for—from the corporate warrior seeking an exit to the investor looking for a profitable side hustle. He provides a clear roadmap for starting a business, detailing how to secure financing through options like SBA loans and identify the business ideas that genuinely align with your lifestyle goals, and explains the myth of passive income. Tune in to learn how to avoid costly industry traps and leverage a proven playbook to find the franchise that will build your future.Takeaways:- A single clever marketing angle is more powerful than a large budget; Alex turned a $30k business into $300k with one strategic move at student orientation.- Don't wait for the "perfect time" to start your business, as it will never come; the best time to take the entrepreneurial leap is always today- Franchising can nearly double your chances of success, with 85% of franchises surviving past five years thanks to a proven playbook and support system.- Define your personal "why" before buying a business; true wealth is aligning your work with goals like lifestyle and happiness, not just chasing the highest profit.- Be skeptical of franchise brokers, as their large commissions from specific brands can create biased recommendations that benefit them more than you.- Business ownership is more accessible than you think with financing options like SBA loans and using your retirement funds tax-free via a ROBS rollover.- AI platforms are disrupting the old franchise model by providing unbiased, data-driven recommendations, removing the need for biased brokers.- The idea of passive income from a new franchise is a myth; success requires consistent, hands-on effort, especially in the beginning.- A corporate job can be the perfect catalyst for entrepreneurship by revealing the flawed systems you want to escape and build something better for yourself.- Accelerate your success by surrounding yourself with mentors and peers who are already further along on the entrepreneurial journey you wish to take.Tags: SaaS, Entrepreneurship, AI, Passive Income, FranchisingResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/4oZ9D1w Connect with Alex: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-smereczniak-%F0%9F%A6%81-40310329/

Shift Key is off for Labor Day, so we're re-running this classic episode.For the first time in 15 years, American electricity demand is rising again as new data centers, factories, and electric vehicles come online. The easiest option is to meet that new demand with new supply — new power plants. But in many parts of the country, it can take years to hook up new wind, solar, and batteries to the grid. The reason why is a clogged and broken system called the interconnection queue. On this week's episode of Shift Key, which first aired in 2024, Jesse and Rob speak with two experts about how to understand — and how to fix — what is perhaps the biggest obstacle to deploying more renewables on the U.S. power grid. Tyler Norris is a doctoral student at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. He was formerly vice president of development at Cypress Creek Renewables, and he served on North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper's Carbon Policy Working Group. Claire Wayner is a senior associate at RMI's carbon-free electricity program, where she works on the clean and competitive grids team. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.Mentioned: Tyler's study on “energy only” interconnection rulesMatthew Zeitlin on Tyler's research into flexible loadsFERC Order 2023Advanced Energy United on “Unlocking America's Energy”PJM's Capacity Auction: The Real StoryRob's downshift; Jesse's upshift.--This episode of Shift Key is sponsored by …Accelerate your clean energy career with Yale's online certificate programs.

The early church didn't start with a worship experience—it started with an invitation. In this message, Pastor Ernest unpacks how a few simple words—“Come and see”—ignited a gospel movement. This isn't about being perfect, persuasive, or polished. This is about being obedient.

Pastor Ernest Grant II preached a powerful message about what it really means to opt into the Church. In a culture that constantly offers reasons to disengage, disconnect, or deconstruct, this message is a bold reminder that Jesus didn't opt out on us—so we don't opt out on His Body.

In this kickoff message from our All Hands on Deck collection, Pastor Ernest Grant, II challenges us to move beyond cruise-ship Christianity and embrace our calling as soldiers on mission. Preaching from 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5, this sermon reminds us that the gospel doesn't move forward through comfort, but through conviction, obedience, and prayer. The mission is urgent, the resistance is real, and eternity is at stake. It's time to suit up, show up, and take our place. The mission is clear—it's all hands on deck.

Pastor Ernest tackled one of the most honest and difficult questions we face: How can a good God allow so much evil in the world? In this message from our Benefit of Doubt series, we didn't run from the tension—we leaned into it. We explored how evil not only breaks the world around us, but distorts the world within us. And we wrestled with what it means to still believe in a good God who sometimes feels silent in the face of suffering. If you've ever felt the weight of injustice, struggled with unanswered prayers, or wondered whether faith can hold up in a world this broken—this message is for you.

Is it possible to love Jesus and still wrestle with doubt? In this message from Matthew 11, Pastor Ernest Grant II opens our Benefit of Doubt series by showing us that even John the Baptist—the man who baptized Jesus and heard the voice from heaven—had questions. Sitting in prison, he wondered, “Are You really the One?” If you've ever found yourself in a prison of unmet expectations, delays, or silence from God… this message is for you. Jesus isn't offended by your doubts. In fact, He invites you to bring them to Him. Because doubt isn't the enemy of faith—it can be the birthplace of something deeper, stronger, and more real.

There's a pattern I see repeatedly with successful staging business owners that's quietly sabotaging everything they've built. They're showing up to every install, running every consultation, personally styling every pillow, and wondering why they feel like they're drowning despite having a team on payroll. But here's the reality: if you're still the primary technician, you haven't built a business. You've built yourself a very expensive job with multiple employees to manage. In my coaching work with staging CEOs, especially inside Accelerate, I see this tension constantly. Staging business owners who are afraid that stepping back from client-facing work will lower quality, so they stay in the grind . But the exhaustion they feel doesn't come from the amount of work. It comes from a deeper misunderstanding: your value as a CEO is very different from your value as a solo stager. That's why today I'm sharing the exact framework I used to transform my business from “Lori's company” into Rethink Home Interiors—, with systems ensuring quality without requiring my physical presence at every project. It is also the approach that is helping Accelerate owners reclaim their role as CEO without sacrificing the standards that built their reputation. I hope this episode becomes a turning point for you, revealing how to delegate staging tasks so you can step out of the technician role and step fully into business ownership.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: The Real Source of Your Exhaustion (And It's Not What You Think) How to create systems for quality instead of being the quality control bottleneck yourself What clients genuinely care about versus what your perfectionist brain thinks  How to use the 10-80-10 Framework for delegating without losing your standards or your mind   RESOURCES:   Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

Building a Brand That Opens Doors In this episode, I sit down with Serah, a former child actor turned personal branding expert and AI business strategist, to explore why personal branding isn't a “nice-to-have” anymore — it's the engine that drives your career and business forward. We swap real-world examples from heavy-hitters like Sara Blakely, Kendra Scott, and Elon Musk, showing how the right brand identity can multiply your impact, influence, and income. From overcoming the fear of self-promotion to navigating humility without hiding your brilliance, Serah breaks down the mindset shifts that every entrepreneur and professional needs to make to be seen, heard, and trusted. The Fear Factor: Rejection, Imperfection, and the Art of Showing Up We talk about the paralysis that comes from worrying about how your work will be received — and why you need to release it anyway. I share why I tell authors to publish their books without obsessing over reviews, because your unique perspective is what makes the work valuable. We even take a detour into pop culture, unpacking the mixed reviews of Amazon Prime Video's “War of the Worlds” and how audience reaction doesn't always match actual value. Creativity, Algorithms, and Authentic Connection Putting yourself out there creatively isn't easy. Serah and I dive into the messy reality of criticism, algorithm-driven visibility, and the rising hunger for authentic human connection in a world leaning heavily on AI. We explore why imperfection isn't a liability — it's proof you're human and relatable. Speaking Up — Even When You're Not Ready I share a personal story about how a college presentation — given while I had chicken pox — became the turning point in my public speaking journey. The standing ovation I received despite my appearance taught me one lesson I've carried for life: never let fear silence you. From Self-Sabotage to Vision-Driven Growth Serah and I connect the dots between personal branding, risk-taking, and the inner work needed to break free from limiting beliefs. We talk about creating a vivid future self-identity, setting meaningful goals, and tackling the invisible barriers that hold so many back. The throughline? Success comes when you decide to play bigger — and actually step onto the stage you've been avoiding. Resources & Connections Serah shares her own platforms, including her personal brand hub sarahdelaine.com, her Stage 8 agency for marketing services, and her Profitable Personal Brand newsletter. Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, or creative, this conversation will give you the clarity — and the push — to own your story and amplify your presence. About Serah D'Laine From Hollywood Red Carpet to Reinvention Serah D'Laine's entrepreneurial life once revolved around her Hollywood career. She was a successful actress, known for gracing the screen with roles in feature films, network television, and national commercials. Working since she was 13 years old, her world was immersed with auditions, scripts, and the glitz, glamour, and chaos of the entertainment industry.  From the outside, it looked like she had it all—a successful acting career many dream of, red carpets, recognition, and a foot in the door of fame. But beneath the surface, Serah felt a deep void. The Hollywood lifestyle didn't align with her desire for meaningful life.Growing up in Hollywood brought a measure of success she enjoyed, she started to feel like she was playing a role not just on screen but in her own life. There was a lingering feeling that something deeper was missing—a sense of purpose, alignment, and fulfillment that no amount of celebrity could provide.... Then came the moment that changed everything: a near-death experience. A single, life-altering event that ripped away the illusions she had built her life around. Waking nearly every night in a panic from PTS - It left her with one haunting realization: she wasn't living her truth. She felt a pull—call it intuition, destiny, or divine intervention—to walk away from the world she knew and reinvent herself entirely. The vision of a new path—a fusion of personal growth, branding, and impact—emerged. But stepping into the unknown was terrifying. Could she leave her career, identity, and comfort zone behind to build something entirely new?..... "one of the hardest decisions of my life, to put a successful 15 year career on hold + finally listen to “HER”, my true self." Her journey has prepared her for this role as a brand strategist, business coach, and leadership mentor. She has reinvented herself not once but multiple times, and her success was the ultimate validation that this was her destined path. What makes Serah different? Her brand isn't built on theories; it's built on experience. She knows the highs and lows of reinvention because she's lived them. And now, she's here to guide others to their own version of success. Today, Serah D'Laine stands as a speaker in psychology-based branding, business growth strategy, and leadership. Through Stage IIX, iSCALE CRM, and her Profitable Personal Brand Formula and L.E.A.D Method, she offers clients the tools to build authentic brands, achieve financial freedom, and align their businesses with their highest selves. Her journey—marked by reinvention, resilience, and results—makes her uniquely qualified to guide others. She isn't just a coach; she's a testament to the power of transformation, proving that anyone can rise, pivot, and thrive when they align their purpose with their work. "The million dollar tip that “Hollywood” taught me, that is probably one of the most important things I use to succeed in your business.....IT'S ALL ABOUT POSITIONING!!!

So far on Shift Key Summer School we've covered how electricity gets made and how it gets sold. But none of that matters without the grid, which is how that electricity gets to you, the consumer. Who actually keeps the grid running? And what decisions did they make an hour ago, a day ago, a week ago, five years ago to make sure that it would still be running right this second? This week on Shift Key, Rob and Jesse chat with Mark Rothleder, senior vice president and chief operating officer of the California Independent System Operator, which manages about 80% of the state's electricity flow. As the longest-serving employee at CAISO, he's full of institutional knowledge. How does he manage the resource mix throughout the day? What happens in a blackout?

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down a major move by the U.S. government and AWS.Highlights00:02 —The U.S. government is being given access to $1 billion in AWS credits for use until the close of 2028 to help bolster federal cloud adoption and IT modernization efforts.00:38 — We're seeing companies in the Cloud Wars Top 10 and beyond offering the U.S. federal government massive discounts to secure contracts under the administration's AI Action Plan. Companies like DocuSign, Adobe, and Oracle are reportedly providing discounts of up to 70 to 75%. OpenAI is offering ChatGPT at a discounted rate to federal users.01:27 — Secondly, there's a shift we're witnessing. Instead of clashing with the government, these companies are offering significant discounts because they're valuing the opportunity upfront. AI that aligns with the government and private industry will undoubtedly be safer and more reliable.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

To get what you want in life, it is helpful to cultivate a “fuck you” attitude, that is: the capacity to go without the support or approval of others. However, it may be even more helpful to cultivate a “fuck me” attitude to achieve your dreams. This is the ability to consciously override the habits and preferences that block your effective action. This is how to accelerate your growth: go fuck myself.

In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Jillian Juman, CEO of Envision Education—a network of high-performing middle and high school charter schools in Oakland, CA.    Jillian shares her powerful journey toward liberation and what it means to lead as a Black woman who embraces curiosity, intuition, and spiritual connection.   Lean into curiosity and play: Jillian follows what sparks her interest—even if most things don't lead anywhere—and trusts that the few that do are exactly where she's meant to be. Notice when you don't fit: She's learned to recognize when something isn't the right environment and no longer sees that as a personal failure. Trust your intuition: Jillian makes space to listen inward and has come to trust that she already knows what's right for her. Create space for reflection: She schedules time to journal, reflect, and take retreats to stay grounded and lead with clarity. Jillian reminds us that liberation is a lifelong journey—and that we already have the answers when we allow ourselves the space to hear them.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-109-stay-and-lead-in-your-home-community-with-dr-nancy-b-gutirrez-president-lead-executive-officer

Most electricity used in America today is sold on a wholesale power market. These markets are one of the most important institutions structuring the modern U.S. energy economy, but they're also not very well understood, even in climate nerd circles. And after all: How would you even run a market for something that's used at the second it's created — and moves at the speed of light? On this week's episode of Shift Key Summer School, Rob and Jesse talk about how electricity finds a price and how modern power markets work. Why run a power market in the first place? Who makes the most money in power markets? How do you encourage new power plants to get built? And what do power markets mean for renewables?

The 2025 rally in Uber Technologies (UBER) was a "move we've been expecting for quite a while," says LikeFolio's Andy Swan. However, he argues its moat is now being threatened. App usage data shows competitors like DoorDash (DASH), Lyft Inc. (LYFT), and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo picking up steam.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Build a Better Agency!

If you've been wondering how to move beyond surface-level AI experiments and truly future-proof your agency, this episode is a must-listen. Greg shares his unique journey from being a non-technical founder in Silicon Valley to steering his latest venture, Section, into the heart of the AI revolution. Drawing on real-life examples and client experiences, Greg breaks down the critical stages agencies must navigate to become truly AI-enabled—from overcoming workforce anxiety to moving entire teams from novice to proficient. He and Drew discuss why deploying AI isn't like rolling out traditional software, the pitfalls of treating it as such, and why thoughtful, transparent leadership is essential in guiding teams through change. Listeners will walk away with practical frameworks like OAT (Optimize, Accelerate, Transform) to help assess where their agency sits on its AI journey and concrete steps for encouraging adoption across their team. Greg also provides actionable advice for evaluating the sea of AI tools on the market, empowering agency leaders to strategically experiment and prioritize high-value use cases without getting overwhelmed. Plus, they dig deep into the profound business model shifts AI will bring—and how being prepared to pivot can turn disruption into your agency's biggest opportunity.   Whether you're anxious, excited, or somewhere in between about the rapid pace of AI, this episode will inspire you to lead the change confidently. Tune in to reimagine how you—and your team—can harness AI to drive efficiency, deepen client value, and stay ahead in a fast-transforming industry.  A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.
