What happens when your first employee quits on opening day?Shane Taylor has spent more than 20 years building businesses, investing in real estate, and learning some expensive lessons along the way. After completing nearly 100 real estate transactions with longtime partner Lance White, Shane stepped away from his corporate career and purchased a martial arts franchise—one day after the country shut down.In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Shane joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner to talk about leaving the W-2 world, building a business that can operate without him, and getting back into real estate with his wife and two sons.Shane shares what went right and wrong during his years of flipping houses, why failing to pull permits in the proper order brought one project to a complete stop, and how a $400,000 flip turned into a six-month headache. He also breaks down his “Bandit Sign on Wheels” marketing strategy, the advantages of investing with a real estate license, and why he may not choose the franchise route again.The conversation also covers family partnerships, hiring people who take ownership, calculating holding costs, choosing the right price point for a flip, and why Shane now prefers short-term joint ventures over permanent business partnerships.If you enjoyed Shane's story, share this episode with someone who could learn from it and leave The Kash and Dash Show a five-star review.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at https://linktr.ee/tedkaasch Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owenmoneyrealestate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/owenmoneyrealestate/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - ...

Success isn't measured by what you build—it's measured by what you do with what God has entrusted to you.In this inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with entrepreneur and ministry leader Ben Clark to share a story of perseverance, faith, and using business as a platform to impact lives around the world.Ben is the owner of B-Unlimited, a successful licensed collegiate apparel company, but his journey to entrepreneurship was anything but easy.Growing up, Ben struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and a poor self-image. School was incredibly difficult, and he often felt like the underdog. He experienced failure after failure and never imagined the path God had planned for him.Instead of allowing those struggles to define him, God used them to build resilience, character, and dependence on Him.Starting with almost nothing, Ben slowly built his business from the ground up. Every dollar he earned went back into growing the company. There were no shortcuts, no wealthy investors, and no overnight success—just years of perseverance, hard work, and trusting God through every setback.But after experiencing business success, God began stirring Ben's heart for something greater.Following a mission trip to Uganda through his church, Ben recognized that many aspiring entrepreneurs had incredible ideas but lacked mentorship and guidance. Rather than simply giving financial assistance, God inspired him to help equip business leaders with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for success.That vision became Bold Creators.Today, Bold Creators connects experienced business leaders with entrepreneurs in Uganda, helping them build sustainable businesses, create jobs, strengthen families, and transform communities—all while sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.Throughout the conversation, Ben reminds listeners that success isn't about titles, wealth, or recognition.True success is using your gifts to serve others and saying "yes" when God opens a door.Ben encourages listeners to:Trust God through every season.Don't let failure define your future.Invest in people, not just projects.Stay grounded in God's Word.Get involved in a Christ-centered community.And never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience.You don't have to be perfect for God to use you.You simply have to be willing.What is one opportunity God may be asking you to say "yes" to today?Connect with Ben Clark:

In This Episode Successful businesses aren't built by accident—they're built intentionally. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Deborah Snyder, Senior Director of Partnerships at Cultivate Advisors, about helping business owners build companies that create freedom, increase enterprise value, and generate long-term success. Deborah shares lessons from both her own entrepreneurial journey and her work alongside hundreds of growing businesses, highlighting the importance of strategy, mentorship, and operational excellence. Adi and Deborah discuss why many entrepreneurs begin their businesses seeking freedom but eventually become consumed by day-to-day operations. Deborah introduces the concept of enterprise value as a guiding framework for making better business decisions. Instead of focusing solely on revenue, business owners should intentionally strengthen key value drivers—including financial performance, sales, marketing, leadership, recruitment, and productivity—to create healthier, more scalable organizations. The conversation also explores the importance of surrounding yourself with experienced advisors. Deborah reflects on mistakes she made while growing her own business, including making decisions based on instinct rather than financial modeling and scaling too quickly without the right support team. Both Deborah and Adi emphasize that trusted advisors provide objective perspectives that help entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes while accelerating growth. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that AI and technology are valuable tools, but they cannot replace human judgment, accountability, and relationships. Deborah believes that combining experienced advisors, peer networks, and intentional leadership creates the strongest foundation for sustainable business growth and greater freedom.  

Send us Fan MailPhilanthropy can strengthen communities by investing not only in nonprofit programs, but also in the entrepreneurs, business-support organizations, and local infrastructure that drives economic mobility. How philanthropy supports small business growth is becoming a key question for foundations, nonprofit leaders, and communities seeking stronger local economies. Wafa Dinaro, Executive Director of the New Economy Initiative, explains how philanthropic capital can help entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses, create jobs, and strengthen neighborhoods.Founded in 2007 with an initial $100 million philanthropic commitment, the New Economy Initiative was designed to help diversify Southeast Michigan's economy. Nearly two decades later, the collaborative continues to evolve, now supporting approximately 800 to 1,200 businesses each year through nonprofit partners, mentorship, technical assistance, and innovative access to capital.Wafa explains that funding alone is rarely enough. Entrepreneurs may appear to have a capital problem when the deeper barrier is incomplete financial records, uncertain pricing, weak margins, or limited operational knowledge.As she tells , “Ideas and entrepreneurs and really innovators are distributed equally, but resources aren't always distributed equally.”This conversation with Wafa examines how philanthropy can fund the business-support infrastructure that traditional financing often overlooks. Through its nonprofit network, NEI connects entrepreneurs with mentors who can review their books, strengthen operations, prepare them for financing, and help them scale.Wafa also introduces the Michigan Small Business Helper, a centralized resource that connects entrepreneurs with regional nonprofits, how-to guides, financial assistance, retail training, and direct support. Behind the platform, NEI can follow the entrepreneur's journey and identify which combinations of services are producing stronger revenue and business outcomes.The larger lesson extends well beyond Detroit. Nonprofits and foundations can serve as conveners, intermediaries, data partners, and catalysts through building systems that allow businesses and communities to become more resilient.“Entrepreneurship is such a core pillar of building neighborhoods, building communities, and rebuilding entire communities.” Key Takeaways:Capital becomes more effective when paired with financial, operational, and industry-specific guidance.Philanthropic intermediaries can pilot programs that conventional funders may consider too uncertain.Centralized resource platforms reduce confusion and help entrepreneurs find relevant assistance faster.Tracking an entrepreneur's journey can reveal which nonprofit partnerships produce measurable business growth.Flexible funding allows organizations to respond to disruptions such as pandemics, tariffs, and technological change.Local businesses contribute to job creation, neighborhood vitality, generational wealth, and population retention.00:00:00 Philanthropy Meets Small Business Development00:01:14 The Origins of the New Economy Initiative00:03:33 Expanding Beyond Technology and Innovation00:05:52 Why Philanthropy Must Be Willing to Experiment00:08:02 Capital Is Not Always the Real Barrier00:10:21 Building Trusted Mentorship for Entrepreneurs00:13:20 Creating the Michigan Small Business Helper00:15:57 Planning for Change Without Predicting Everything00:17:50 Supporting 800 to 1,200 Businesses Each Year00:20:07 Entrepreneurship as Neighborhood Development00:22:56 Preparing for AI and a More Digital Economy00:25:49 Maintaining Funder Confidence Through Change#EconomicDevelopment #NonprofitLeadership #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Together, Sheila and Skylar explore what it really means to lead with purpose, serve people authentically, and grow a profitable beauty business without sacrificing your values. They also discuss how genuine connection—not pressure or sales tactics—became the foundation of Skylar's business growth after joining Pretty Rich Bosses. If you've ever wondered whether you can build a business that creates both income and impact, this conversation will remind you that the two are not only compatible—they're incredibly powerful together. Whether you're a beauty entrepreneur, esthetician, salon owner, or service provider, this episode will encourage you to build something bigger than yourself. ✨ 5 Key Takeaways Purpose creates lasting profit. Businesses built around serving others often create stronger client loyalty and deeper fulfillment. Authenticity always outperforms a manufactured brand. People connect with real people—not perfectly curated personas. Great sales begin with genuine listening. The best consultations focus on understanding someone's goals before offering solutions. Systems create freedom. Organization, consistency, and personalized marketing can transform a business from struggling to booked weeks in advance. Impact and income are not opposites. You don't have to choose between making a difference and making money—you can intentionally build both. You don't need more effort—you need better strategy. Fixing one broken "machine" can completely change your business.

Today's episode was recorded in partnership with flaconi, Germany's leading online destination for beauty and fragrance. And it's one of those conversations that reminded me why I love doing this podcast so much.We're sitting down with Alicia Lindner, who runs a third-generation family business in the beauty industry called Annemarie Börlind. But this conversation is about so much more than a brand story. We talk about growing up surrounded by the scent of plant oils and flowers drifting out of a laboratory in the Black Forest and what it means to carry a legacy without turning it into something rigid.We also talk about sibling leadership, building and growing the brand independently, the spirit of the Schwarzwald, and the beauty industry as it looks today. But also about very human things. Like why skipping lunch is never a good idea and why the forest can be the best mentor when everything feels a bit too loud.This episode is thoughtful and honest. Alicia became an immediate star of the show.

$11.5 billion flows into Nepal every year through remittance. More than half of it never enters the formal system. And the companies legally processing the rest are operating at a loss.   Ritesh Mittal has spent 21 years inside this industry. In this episode he tells us everything the industry does not want to say out loud.   The informal economy, the collapsing margins, the Middle East risk, the skill development opportunity, and why the next big solution will come from a young Nepali willing to treat this problem as a personal mission.   This conversation is a mirror held up to Nepal: its ambitions, its failures, and the window of opportunity that is still, just barely, open. The clock is ticking, the money is moving, and Nepal needs to decide what side of history it wants to be on.    In this episode of The Doers Podcast, we talk about:   -Nepali diaspora sends $11.5 billion home every year, and more than half of it never enters the formal system. -Why has one of the most critical industries in Nepal been operating at a loss for years, and nobody is talking about it? -What happens to Nepal's economy the day Middle East instability forces millions of workers to come home? -How does a 21-year industry veteran watch his revenue grow and his profits collapse at the same time? -The remittance business built this nation, and it might be quietly dying. -Why skill development, not remittance, might be the real next frontier, and why young Nepalis are sleeping on it.     Timestamps: 0:00 – Episode Highlights 1:10 – Opening Conversation 7:05 – His Journey, Struggles & Early Hardships 14:18 – Building International Partnerships in the Remittance Industry 21:34 – Why Revenue Increased but Profits Declined 27:01 – Why Remittance Companies Are Remembered Only During Foreign Reserve Crises 33:36 – How Trade Activities Indirectly Facilitate Hundi Networks 47:30 – Why Remittance Companies Should Be Allowed to Open Foreign Bank Accounts 55:24 – The Social Consequences Emerging from Nepal's Remittance Dependency 1:07:26 – Every Problem Becomes a Solution When Viewed Differently 1:13:10 – The Unexpected Countries Sending Remittance to Nepal 1:23:34 – Remittance Companies Pay Nearly 30% in Taxes 1:34:11 – Building Businesses in Industries He Initially Knew Nothing About 1:41:30 – Advice He Would Give to His Younger Self 1:46:40 – Closing Remarks  If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?    Want to join us live in the studio as an audience member?

We're about 30 days away from leaving for a year-long camper trip with our boys… and honestly? Life feels a little chaotic right now. In this episode of Branded & Booked, I'm sharing a very real behind-the-scenes update on what's been happening as we prepare to leave "normal life" for a completely different season. From our disastrous first RV test trip to truck issues throwing a wrench into our plans, packing up our house, balancing explosive business growth, and preparing for Collin to leave his six-figure job… there's been a lot happening all at once. This episode is honest, messy, vulnerable, funny at times, and probably one of the most personal conversations I've shared in a while. We talk about entrepreneurship, lifestyle freedom, risk, pressure, intuition, parenting, and what it actually looks like when you start building a life outside the version everyone expects you to live. Because the truth is… I don't think entrepreneurship is just about making more money anymore. I think it's about creating a life you genuinely want to wake up inside of. If you've ever questioned whether you're building a business… or building a life you actually want to live, this episode is for you.
