With the average homeowner having less than $5,000 in savings, according to a US banking study, when a major repair happens, the only option is financing. So, how do you choose a financing company? What should you look for? What should you avoid? My guest Erica Leonor, is the Director of Business Development for Goodleap. She will answer these questions and more.

Are your relationships lifting you up or weighing you down? Today, I am flying solo to illustrate how positive relationships can make a big difference in life.  Drawing from my own experiences and insights, this episode prompts listeners to consider the true value of the relationships they nurture. Just as assets contribute to financial prosperity, positive relationships propel us forward on our journey towards greatness. Similarly, liabilities–such as toxic friendships, draining business partnerships, or unsupportive environments–impede progress and hinder personal development.  This episode of The Greatness Machine will prompt the listeners to think about whether the people around them are helping them grow or holding them back. By thinking of relationships like assets (things that help us) and liabilities (things that hold us back), this episode will help the audience understand the importance of surrounding themselves with people who make them feel good and help them succeed. Topics include: The benefits of viewing life in terms of assets and liabilities The importance of assessing relationships as assets and liabilities Why it matters to set boundaries with negative influences  And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsored by: Brevo: Get started free or save 50% for 3 months with code GREATNESS at brevo.com/greatness.  Huel: Try Huel with 15% OFF + Free Gift for New Customers today using my code greatness at https://huel.com/greatness.

Martin Hunter is a visionary thinker who delves into the evolving dynamics of human necessity and economic growth. With a keen understanding of societal trends, Martin explores how the reduction in human dependency on traditional roles and resources can lead to an increase in global GDP and individual affluence. As populations shift and wealth accumulates, he observes a rising demand for luxurious living, highlighting a preference for more personal space and convenience, such as automated services in everyday life. Citing historical precedents like the labor shortages in Fort McMurray and shifts during the pandemic, Martin underscores the inevitability of automation in less-valued jobs to sustain growth and innovation. His insights draw attention to the intricate balance between technological advancement and societal evolution.Episode Highlights:00:30 Automation Fuels Economic Growth04:36 CEOs, Economy, and Employee Concerns07:59 Tiered Risk Management Approach11:26 "Boosting Morale for Business Success"14:52 Family Strategic Planning Retreat17:43 Understand Balance Sheets for Retirement21:58 Modern Business Navigators24:32 "Entrepreneurship: Courage Over Fear"

Building a business is one thing; holding your vision steady through growth, pressure, and uncertainty is something else entirely.   Alex Raymond sits down with John Sampogna, the co-founder and CEO of Wondersauce, to talk about what the entrepreneurial journey really demands once the excitement wears off. John shares how he built a 100-person agency, why he created a “mental balance sheet” to manage the emotional costs of leadership, and what he learned from selling his company while staying true to its original vision. How do you scale without losing yourself in the process? How do you know when a business opportunity is truly right for you, not just financially but personally?   John also digs into the realities of leadership that rarely get talked about: why bottlenecks are your best feedback loop, why approachability matters more than you think, and why a thriving business culture starts with making space for mistakes. He challenges entrepreneurs to rethink what scale really means in the age of AI and shares why lasting success depends on more than just growth metrics.   If you are building a business and want to do it with intention, resilience, and clarity, this conversation will give you a much-needed shift in perspective.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 01:14 Holding a Long-Term Vision Through Growth and Uncertainty 03:49 Selling Wondersauce and Choosing the Right Partner 09:01 How the Founder Role Changes After Acquisition 10:02 Navigating Earn-Outs, COVID, and the Rise of AI 12:10 Building a Mental Balance Sheet for Emotional Resilience 15:00 Scaling a Business Without Burning Out 19:25 Bottlenecks as a Signal for Operational Change 22:05 Creating Psychological Safety and Strong Leadership 25:59 Smart Marketing and True Differentiation for Entrepreneurs 32:44 How AI Is Redefining the Idea of Scale   Links Connect with  John Sampogna: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnsampogna/ Website: https://www.wondersauce.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Japan has a wonderful year end tradition where the entire house is given a massive clean up. Dust is dispatched, junk is devolved and everything is made shipshape.  We need to do the same with our business and I don't mean cleaning up your desk.  We have two types of people working for us.  There are those who receive a salary of some dimension, be they full time or part-time and then there are those who get paid for their services.  Some of these services are delivered regularly throughout the year.  Others are intermittent, on a needs basis.  Regardless, we need to take a good look at these every year to make sure they are still fit for purpose. As a training company, we have some regular suppliers.  Our landlord charges us rent for the space we use and that lease pops up every two years.  Regardless of the economy, the office space vacancy rate, the consumer price index or any other intergalactic factors, the numbers always go up at renewal time.  It is no good finding ourselves at renewal time and thinking “maybe I should have investigated if there were more appropriately priced alternatives”.  Too late by that time, because it takes quite a while to find the size of space you need, in the location and configuration you require, at a number that makes sense.  Better to engage a real estate broker early to start telling you what the alternatives are so that when the time comes you can have some choices available.  That data is also a potential bargaining chip in the arm wrestle for the next two years of tenant penal servitude. Another key player is your accountant.  If you outsource your accounting to a firm, they will receive the data from your people and then get into a P&L and Balance Sheet format that you can come to terms with.  It also enables someone externally to see what are the patterns of spending and spot any anomalies.  Japanese staff are very honest.  However, like staff in other countries, they can find themselves in the newspaper for embezzling vast sums from their employers, sustained over breathtaking amounts of time. If you need an English speaking accountant, we are now fishing in a very small pond.  This tends to mean that we lock someone in to do the books and we just keep them forever.  We all seek an equilibrium comfort point.  We get the service, we are happy with it and we are generally too busy to investigate if we can better it.  Once a year, list up some accounting service delivery alternatives and have a conversation about what they offer.  Existing suppliers can become robotic in their delivery of their services and they have pruned their services down to the minimum necessary to maximise their return.   It might be a good time to see if you can maximise your return instead. In our case, we need things designed and printed, because we distribute flyers to clients and training manuals to class participants.  I am using the same printing company now which I have used for over ten years.  I know there are other companies who are slightly cheaper, but I need high quality service, delivered at speed. Being able to get things designed very quickly is something I value highly and will pay more for that service.  If that service was diminished then there would be a reason to change.  The point here though is, I need to keep track of the size of the disparity between what I pay and what they deliver.  I can't just go to sleep at the wheel and keep using the same folk because I am too busy to know the relative price, quality and scope of the service I am receiving. Labor lawyers do well here in Japan.  The regulations are changing, there is government pressure to not have unpaid overtime and numerous arcane labor rules abound.  Our labor lawyer is a pretty good businessman and signed my firm up on a monthly retainer.  I took my COO's advice on this retainer, though I had my doubts.   I reviewed that service need and that retainer and guess what?  After I cut it, there has been no difference in what we needed as a service.  Instead, we are saving that money every month  now.  Maybe at one point there was a point.  My point though is, don't let these things just drift along, without making a conscious decision to decide if the service is really what you still need or not.  End of the year clean up time is a good time to survey new potential providers and clean up unneeded service expenses too.

Dory Wiley believes the banking sector will stay firm as tariff volatility rattles markets. He says big banks are in the "strongest position in 40 years" and sees regional banks having a "much faster growth rate" compared to peers. However, Dory sees smaller banks being the big winners of tariff policy. Tom White turns to example options trades in Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The Bruises of Bondage run deep—not just on the Body, but on the Soul, on the Mind, and on the Balance Sheet. They come from years of being Locked out the Game, taught to trade time for money, to consume but never to own. Wall Street wasn't built for us—but we here now. And the market? That's the new battlefield. The bruises we carry are the remnants of a system designed to keep us blind to the power of ownership. But listen—Every Bruise is a Lesson. Every Scar is a symbol of Survival. And Survival ain't the end goal—Freedom is. See, bondage is Poverty dressed in Tradition. It's generational struggle passed down like an heirloom. But when we step into the market, we break that cycle. When we learn the game, buy the assets, flip the mindset—we turn pain into profit, Struggle into Strategy. Spiritual wealth and Financial wealth—they walk together. You can't elevate spiritually and stay broke mentally. That's why this journey is bigger than money—it's about resurrection. Rebirth. It's about looking at your past and saying, "That was the last generation to be bound." So wear your bruises with pride—they're not reminders of weakness, they're the fingerprints of resilience. You didn't come this far to stay stuck. This is about Freedom & Legacy. TRUMP TRAGEDY | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 137) Trappin Tuesday's

Time is the enemy of good leadership.  It takes time to develop a team of individuals.  A common metaphor is the orchestra conductor.  Each instrument player has a specific role and it is the job of the leader to meld them together to work harmoniously and effectively.  The conductor takes a significant amount of time to get this working correctly.  That is their sole purpose.  They make the best of the talent in the team, get them working well together and develop the individual talents of those involved.  In business, we have to do all of these things and worry about the P&L, the Balance Sheet, the competition, quarterly earnings, changes in Government regulations, the media, shareholders, where the market is heading and the latest developments in technology.  We are kept pretty busy. Consequently we are time poor from the moment our eyes open until we drift off to into slumber at night.  There is a tension between the time needed to work with our team members to work effectively together and the time we have available to do just that. So we cut corners.  We start to lead from a macro perspective.  We are prone to broadcast emails to the whole team, mass Town Halls where we download what is going on, Zoom calls to the whole team where we pontificate on how things should be.  It is terribly efficient but is it particularly effective? We know from sports that all the modern coaches coach each individual based on who they are and what they are capable of doing.  The old style game half-time coach thunderous moments of inspired oratory are the thing of Hollywood movie celluloid relics of a past long passed.  Leaders need to focus on each person, one by one. Some players are easy going, amazingly talented athletes who can perform the most unexpected feats of spontaneous physical dexterity, that a coach can never teach.  They are Amiables who like people and are understated.  They don't speak in a loud voice, in fact they are laconic to the extreme.  Loud incandescent outbursts about the requirement for getting the numbers are lost on them.  We have people like that on our business teams.  They are the solid quiet performers, often the social glue inside the team, holding all the superstructure together. The opposite stye are the Drivers.  They are highly numbers and outcome oriented.  They want the big bucks which comes with producing results.  They don't need external motivation, because the fire burns deep inside them and it is permanently self-igniting.  They don't need public acclaim or affirmation, because they march to the beat of their own drummer.  They don't listen to any praise because they are sceptical and they don't feel any need of it. They can handle extreme pressure from above to perform. They have no problem with straight talk about getting the numbers or getting out of Dodge. They need to be strongly corralled to play as a team member, because they are oriented as an individual player and believe they rise or fall on their own efforts.  They have severe outcome focus, rather than people focus, so often they can be limited in application as the leader. That doesn't stop organisations putting them in charge though, because they produce results. Analyticals are data freaks.  They only react to proof and evidence. They suspect any opinions which cannot be backed up with the statistics, expert testimonials, key numbers or facts.  They are very well organised and thorough in their approach to everything.  You have to persuade them with the data.  They are not stirred by emotional calls to action.  “Do it for the Gipper” doesn't do anything for them.  Whether in sport or in the office, they need to be convinced by proof of the right course of action and once on board, they then knuckle down and get right behind the effort. The opposite style is the Expressive.  They are outgoing, like being with people and are very confident, often too confident.  They are usually the pranksters inside the team, making the jokes, geeing everyone up.  They are flamboyant and enjoy the accolades, public acclaim and attention.  Titles, prizes, trophies, incentives – bring them on they say. Inside the company they are the “hail fellow well met” crew, who work hard and play harder.  Pumping up their ego has no bounds.  The less fizzy, more sensible variety are often the most attractive leaders inside the organisation. As leaders we need to know which style we are and what are our own strengths and weaknesses.  We need to know the same detail about our team members.  We should spend time with them individually.  Time constraints push us away from doing this, but we have to fight against the unrelenting drive to harmonised mediocrity.  There is no point in being a macro leader in a modern micro world.  

What happens when a sociology major dabbles in accounting, dips into venture capital, and then rewrites her script—literally? You get Jean Zhou. Now a filmmaker and CEO of Wind Entertainment, Jean's career plotline includes more genre shifts than a Netflix queue. She traded spreadsheets for screenplays and hasn't looked back since.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Creating Stories: Founding Wind Entertainment“In 2019, I founded Wind Entertainment. Initially, we incubated writers and even won several Best Novel Awards. By 2020, we ventured into drama series, writing our first script, The Starry Love. It aired on four TV stations in China and was distributed to over 30 countries.”Sociology: A Bridge Between Business and Humanity“Sociology opened my worldview and helped me understand people better. Ultimately, the business world is about relationships—between people and people. Sociology gave me insights into the social mind and thoughts, which help decode the essence of business.”The Seeds of a Producer's Journey“As a child, I had to go to bed at 9 p.m., even though TV programming continued until 10. That early frustration planted the idea in my mind—one day, I'd take control of storytelling. Fast forward to 2018, when I watched the TV series Ashes of Love and realized it was the most incredible thing to create a project like that. I decided it was something I had to try, at least once in my life.”The Limitations of AI in Screenwriting“While AI brings efficiency, its impact on screenwriting remains minimal. Scripts are tailored works of art, built to surpass expectations. AI, by contrast, is a summary of past material, often resembling a Wikipedia outline. Such drafts lack the depth and creativity necessary for a fully developed script that would appeal to buyers.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Jean Zhou  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Key Takeaways: The Three Financial Statements Matter – Businesses use three main reports: the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement. Each one tells a different part of the financial story. The Income Statement Shows Profitability – This report tracks how much money a business makes (revenue), what it spends (expenses), and whether it made a profit or loss over a specific time. The Balance Sheet Shows What a Business Owns and Owes – It lists assets (what the business owns), liabilities (what it owes), and equity (the owner's share). This gives a snapshot of the company's overall financial strength. The Cash Flow Statement Tracks Money Movement – This statement shows how money moves in and out of the business, covering operations, investments, and loans. A business can be profitable but still struggle if it doesn't manage cash flow well. Financial Knowledge is More Important Than Ever – Understanding these reports helps business owners make smart decisions, avoid financial trouble, and plan for the future in today's changing economy.

Matt notes that investors will have to "pick and choose" which names to invest in and talks about the process you should take when considering those investments.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Can workplace culture be measured as rigorously as financial performance? Christy Pretzinger, founder of WG Content and author of The Cultural Balance Sheet, says yes! In this episode, we explore how her framework applies financial principles—assets, liabilities, and equity—to workplace culture. Christy shares how leaders can assess, manage, and optimize their culture with the same intent and precision as a balance sheet. We also dive into why kindness is not weakness, how values should guide decisions, and why measuring culture is critical to business success. We explore: How liabilities in workplace culture can be transformed into assets The role of leadership in shaping cultural equity Why engagement isn't just agreement—it's about people who care The hidden costs of employee turnover (and how to reduce them) This conversation is packed with insights to help leaders create thriving, high-performing workplaces. Don't miss it! ----more---- Key Takeaways Culture is measurable, just like finances. Christy applies financial principles to workplace culture, proving that culture isn't just a “soft” concept but something that can be managed with intent and discipline. Kindness is not weakness—it's a leadership strength. Kindness doesn't mean avoiding tough conversations. It's about clarity, boundaries, and setting people up for success.  Turnover has hidden costs—invest in culture to reduce it. Losing employees means losing knowledge, relationships, and productivity. A strong, people-focused culture can minimise that and improve performance. Leaders shape culture through everyday actions. Culture is shaped daily through leadership behaviour, communication, and decision-making. Leaders must be intentional in the pursuit of the culture they need. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – Welcome to Sticky From The Inside 0:03:36 – Can Culture Be Measured Like a Balance Sheet? 0:06:33 – Why Kindness Is a Business Superpower 0:10:39 – The Epiphany Behind the Cultural Balance Sheet 0:14:36 – Cultural Assets: The Foundation of a Thriving Business 0:18:56 – Cultural Liabilities: What's Holding Your Business Back? 0:27:27 – What Is Cultural Equity and Why Does It Matter? 0:31:08 – How to Measure and Manage Culture Effectively 0:39:37 – The Leadership Role in Shaping Workplace Culture 0:42:37 – Three Sticky Notes for Building a Stronger Culture ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Christy Pretzinger on LinkedIn here Find Christy's website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

In 2021, 77% of consumers in the U.S., UK, France and Germany used Google to find business information according to a Statista report. Lead generation has changed over the years, but the truth is that contractors need to be where their clients are – online. Digital door knocking is nothing new, and contractors should leverage online tools to enhance marketing ROI and increase lead generation and conversion. What impact will the recent election have on digital door knocking? I specifically waited until after the election, no matter who won, to have my guest, Jimmy Speyer, discuss how demographic insights on consumer spending power help contractors be strategic in their marketing approach, in 2025 and beyond.

This Sunday episode starts with a Sports Minute in which Brendan asks Andy to answer for Illinois hanging a banner upside down during Saturday night's game. There's also some chatter about the USA-Canada hockey game ad the Four Nations Faceoff. In a positive for golf, the Sports Minute closes with an agreement from everyone that the Presidents Cup has more juice than the NBA All Star Game! From there, Andy and Brendan discuss Ludvig Åberg's first win in a Signature Event at the Genesis Invitational. They talk through Ludvig's come-from-behind victory, chasing down Maverick McNealey at Torrey Pines. There's some intel from the ground that Ludvig skipped out on buying the media beers after his ace which leads to Brendan ranting about this ridiculous tradition. Andy has some critiques about the setup on Sunday and the two also discuss Tiger's appearance in the booth coming down the stretch on CBS. With the West Coast swing over and done, Andy, Brendan, and PJ give out some awards to commemorate the first six events of the season. After some internet issues due to cold weather, the conversation moves on to LIV Adelaide, won by Joaquin Niemann. Brendan dives into some reporting about LIV's ratings in Australia and their balance sheets from the past few years showing that the league is spending billions of dollars without much return. Champions Tour Minute checks in on the spread at the Chubb Classic to finish this episode. Justin Leonard won for the first time since 2008, but folks are upset about Papa and Zinger not being on-site for the call!
