What if your company's success depends less on what you build and more on what your people are chasing?   For Ken Rusk, digging ditches became the foundation for building something far more valuable: a company where employees don't just show up to work — they show up for their lives.   In this episode, I speak with Ken Rusk, nine-figure entrepreneur and author of Blue Collar Cash, about how he built his business by aligning personal dreams with company growth, and why creating a culture of ownership, vision, and peace is more powerful than chasing the next milestone.   Ken shares how he developed a visual goal-setting system that drives performance, why he made his company employee-owned, and how his leadership mindset shifted after overcoming personal and professional crises, including a health scare with his daughter and navigating the pandemic.   We talk about: How turning employees into goal-setters created unstoppable momentum Why giving up control was the best decision he ever made as a leader How to build long-term loyalty without high-pressure tactics or perks The difference between reacting and proacting as an entrepreneur What “comfort, peace, and freedom” really mean, and how to build toward them How to spot internal leaders (and how to help them thrive)   This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply looking to live more intentionally, not someday, but starting today.   Get Ken's book here: https://www.kenrusk.com/blue-collar-cash/ Blue-Collar Cash: Love Your Work, Secure Your Future, and Find Happiness for Life   Here are some free gifts for you:    Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Send us a textThe secret to success isn't about scaling at all costs—it's about still loving what you do 5, 10, 15 years in.In this episode, I sit down with Nate DeMars, the founder of Pursuit, a Columbus-based custom suit shop that started as a project in business school—and turned into a purpose-driven brand that suits people for life's biggest moments.But this isn't your typical startup story. Nate doesn't chase venture capital, viral growth, or Shark Tank glory. Instead, he's built a business on intention, integrity, and the wild idea that staying true to yourself might actually be the best strategy of all.We talk about what happens when your business starts to drift from your values, and how Nate course-corrected to build something that aligns with who he really is. Think: partnerships with the Columbus Crew, indie bands playing in the storefront, and a suit donation program that's changing lives.Nate also gets real about navigating entrepreneurship in a dual-career household, the pressure to say yes to every “good” opportunity, and why going all in on community is the best marketing tactic in your toolbox. Nate's story might just be the permission slip you've been waiting for—the one that says it's okay to build a business that aligns with your passions, your lifestyle, and your definition of success. #TheKeriCroftShow #Entrepreneurship #PursuitSuitStore #ColumbusOhio #StartupStories #FounderLife

Send us a textHave you ever felt like your business has become a prison of your own making? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation with Leslie Hassler, founder of Your Biz Rules, we dive deep into the stark difference between building a business that drains your soul versus one that fills it with purpose and joy.Leslie shares her journey as an "accidental entrepreneur" who transformed from dreading Monday mornings to being energized by them. Her powerful insight that "there's no profit fairy" challenges the common misconception that profits magically appear once you've worked hard enough or grown big enough. Instead, she reveals the critical dance between growth and scalability that most business owners misunderstand.The most enlightening part of our discussion explores how growth actually devours cash while making essential foundational investments that don't immediately show returns. Like renovating an older home, you're putting money into improvements behind the walls that pay dividends over time. Meanwhile, scalability is where you truly "rake it in" – giving one and getting ten back. Understanding this partnership completely transforms how you approach building your business.We also tackle the identity crisis that comes with evolving as a business owner. The transition from doing the work yourself to leading others through it challenges your self-worth and requires letting go of the adrenaline rush that comes from checking items off your list. As Leslie notes, this transformation happens repeatedly throughout your entrepreneurial journey – with your first employee, when you're no longer servicing clients directly, and eventually if you sell or transition your business.Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or looking to escape the prison of a business that's consuming rather than serving you, this conversation provides the perspective shift you need to build a business aligned with your vision and values. Take that first baby step today, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish over time.

We explore what it takes to rebuild—not just businesses, but belief in yourself—especially when life throws you curveballs. He opens up about: The inner work behind every leap he's taken How meditation, mindfulness, and language shape his daily life Why he refuses to compromise on food quality or personal values How fatherhood and legacy guide the way he shows up in the world What led to his newest wellness brand, Sunny Within, and how it bridges soul and strategy This episode is about more than food—it's about staying rooted in purpose, even when things get loud. If you're navigating a season of transition or waiting for the “right” time to jump, Sharone's story will meet you right where you are.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by one of my incredible private clients, Xuan, for an honest and inspiring conversation about building a business on your terms. We dive deep into the mindset shifts that helped Xuan move from pressure and perfectionism to showing up online with joy, confidence, and authenticity. She shares how simplifying her approach, getting clear on her messaging, and choosing a business model that supports her slow, intentional lifestyle has completely transformed how she sells—and how she feels. We explore how reframing social media unlocked more sales, more ease, and even sparked new offer ideas, and how getting specific about her audience didn't limit her—it expanded everything. We also talk about the behind-the-scenes money mindset work that changed the game for her pricing, her confidence, and her income. This episode is a beautiful reminder that your business gets to feel aligned, intentional, and deeply fulfilling—and that building a strong foundation before the quantum leap might just be the most powerful move of all.

My guest today, Cori Myka, specializes in helping adults overcome their fear of water.I haven't had anybody show up in FLOW365 and say, “I want to learn to swim” or “I want to get more comfortable in the water,” but we could easily work with those goals.

Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:IDENTIFY BLOCKS. What is the biggest thing getting in the way of your current project, something you want to learn, or trying to launch? There may seem to be an obvious answer, but what happens when you peel back on that answer? Often there is a fear or worry standing there. Understanding that helps you start to find a way past it.PRACTICE CONFIDENCE. We talk about having confidence when learning or trying something new. It doesn't have to be huge confidence, just enough to take the next tiny step.TAP INTO YOUR INTERESTS. Looking to niche? What really piques your interest? Where are you already doing something that not a lot of people are doing? Spend some time exploring what that interest or passion could look like as a niche.

On today's episode we spoke to Rebekah Johnson, Founder & CEO of Numeracle. This was a fascinating conversation about Rebekah's journey starting Numeracle in 2016 to bring trust back to business communications by tackling robocalling and spam in the telecom ecosystem.We talk about how Numeracle became an early identity issuer in telecom through the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN protocols which have now rolled out to subscribers of carriers like T-Mobile and how she overcame the classic chicken-and-egg problem of launching before carriers were ready. We also discuss how the business identity ecosystem compares to consumer digital identity, and what companies should do when they know a new standard is coming (like eIDAS 2.0), but it's not here yet.We finish by exploring modern AI's impact on communications, including how to preserve trust when automated agents or AI-powered voice calls are part of the conversation.You can learn more about Numeracle at numeracle.com and connect with Rebekah on LinkedIn.Subscribe to our weekly newsletter for more announcements related to the future of identity at trinsic.id/podcastReach out to Riley (@rileyphughes) and Trinsic (@trinsic_id) on Twitter.

This week, I sit down with Bilal Muhammad — a man who redefined what it means to bounce back. At just 26, Bilal was diagnosed with a brain tumour that could have ended everything. But instead of pressing pause, he hit play on a new chapter — founding Zenith, a boutique PR and brand strategy agency that's already making serious waves. With a decorated background in PR and social media, Bilal's résumé includes work with global icons like GQ, Google, Universal Music, and DAZN. He's helped shape campaigns that speak to culture, drive influence, and put brands exactly where they need to be — in front of the right people, in the right way. In this episode, we unpack his journey through illness, recovery, and ambition. From the highs of rubbing shoulders with the industry elite to the lows of hospital beds and self-doubt — Bilal opens up on how he built a brand from scratch while rebuilding himself from the inside out. If you've ever needed proof that adversity can sharpen your vision rather than blur it — this is it.

Welcome to The Lindsey Anderson Show! In today's episode, I talk with Ral West, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience. We address a problem that many entrepreneurs face: starting out with dreams of freedom, only to end up overwhelmed and burnt out by their businesses.We share how building systems, slowing down to speed up, and shifting your mindset can help you get out of the weeds and scale your business. If you're feeling stuck in the grind and want to break free, this episode is for you.Guest Introduction:Ral is the creator of the Overcome and Overwhelm framework, which helps entrepreneurs free up time, reduce stress, and build businesses that support their desired lifestyle. Ral's personal success story includes scaling and selling a business to Alaska Airlines, and she's now focused on investing in small cruise ships and multifamily real estate. Ral is passionate about helping entrepreneurs stop doing everything themselves and start building sustainable, profitable businesses.Building a Business That Runs Without You - Key Takeaways:Start with Systems: Ral's number one principle is to establish systems. Take stock of your daily tasks and identify which ones can be automated or delegated.Delegate Repetitive Tasks: Tasks like email follow-ups, appointment scheduling, and billing are prime candidates for delegation or automation.Automate and Use Technology: Leverage tools like AI, virtual assistants, and CRM systems to streamline your operations and save time.Work on Your Business, Not In It: Instead of micromanaging every aspect, focus on creating systems that allow your business to run smoothly without you.Seize Opportunities: Ral emphasizes the importance of being adaptable and seizing new opportunities, even when they don't align with your original business plan.The Challenges Entrepreneurs Face:As entrepreneurs, we often feel trapped by our daily operations. We struggle to scale, innovate, or keep up with our long-term vision due to a lack of systems and processes. Overwhelm becomes a common issue, leading to burnout and frustration.Key Quotes:“We were limiting the growth of the business because we couldn't do all of it, and we couldn't direct every single aspect of the business.”“The business model should support your life, not the other way around.”“Can you afford not to delegate and create systems? What are you leaving on the table in terms of revenue, health, and mental wellbeing?”“There's so much you can delegate. If you're not slowing down to speed up and taking the time to write it down, there are gaps in your time you don't even know about.”The Importance of Delegation:Ral really emphasizes the importance of good delegation and letting go of control. “You need to learn how to delegate in a way that's clearly outlined, focusing on the outcome rather than how it's done.” Delegating tasks allows the business to grow beyond the owner's capacity, and it's a crucial step for scalability.Addressing Pushback:Many entrepreneurs push back, saying they can't afford to hire help or don't have the time to build systems. Ral challenges that mindset with, “Can you afford not to?” She explains that failing to delegate leads to burnout, poor health, and missed opportunities. By delegating and automating, we free up time and increase the business's potential.Actionable Steps for Entrepreneurs:Step 1: Take stock of your tasks. Identify which tasks are repetitive and can be delegated or automated.Step 2: Document your processes. Write down the steps for tasks like follow-ups, scheduling, and...

I absolutely love Ryan's story of finding a creative way to building a large and successful ranch from nothing! He shares his story of buying and improving a medical sales business that was weeks away from being shut down and turning it around and ultimately selling that to buy and grow a 1000+ cow ranch on his own! He's confident that it's still possible to get into ranching today with hard work and sacrifice!Resources Mentioned:NRCSUNL ExtensionIf you are looking to add somebody to your team to help with your farm or ranch numbers, check out John Haskell and his team at ⁠⁠⁠https://www.ranchrightllc.com/⁠⁠⁠.Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pharocattle.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more information on how to put more fun and profit back into your ranching business! As always, check us out at Ranching Returns Podcast on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram as well as at ⁠www.ranchingreturns.com⁠.For Ranching Returns shirts, hats, and sweatshirts check out https://farmfocused.com/ranching-returns-merch/

We often have such a clear vision for what our lives and our businesses will look like before we open. And then the flood comes and we're so busy trying to survive that we forget to thrive. We forget why we got into this to begin with. And that “why”, for most of us, was love. Love of community, love of food, and love of revelry. Meet Mark Bitterman, a man who's never forgotten his why and, no surprise, it's served him well. Today we chat about finding our true North, holding on to it, and building a business to last.
