On today's program, Michael Rogers talks with business trainer and coach Jeremy Lopatin, Professional EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide. He's based in southeast Michigan and is a VIP member of the Small Business Association of Michigan. He says that if companies focus on six core components—vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction— they can resolve numerous underlying organizational symptoms. He also talks in the interview about the business pros and cons of AI. "AI is already bringing in incredible increases in our capacity to do a lot of things at scale that we've never been able to do before, such as having greater insight into certain topics and executing with more precision or confidence," he says. "I think the big risk is that some in the business community are going to offload certain really human responsibilities to AI. They're going to start to hand over really important things like judgment and handling the sort of emotional and social sphere of being a good leader and a good manager of other humans." The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan's small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We're located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol. Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.  Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!

What if the secret to building a thriving business wasn't just making more money—but making a meaningful difference? In this heartfelt episode of the CEO Glow Show, host Sheila Bella, founder of Pretty Rich Bosses, sits down with Skylar Edmiston, founder of Face the Fight, an oncology-trained esthetician who has built a nonprofit spa that changes lives. Skylar shares how personal loss inspired her to create a business where 20% of every paid service funds free skincare treatments for cancer patients. 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.

What happens when you stop running your business the way you think you're supposed to, and start building it from who you actually are? This episode of the Women in Business Radio Show gets into that territory, fast.Sian Murphy and co-host Adelle Martin are joined in the studio by two guests who could not, on paper, be more different. Lorraine Chapman, founder of Unleash Your Fire, works with people on sex, intimacy and connection, and makes a compelling case for why those things are inseparable from how we show up in business. Kemka Emereole, founder of SpecifiVA, helps UK small businesses build offshore remote teams with the compliance and operational support to make it actually work.What ties them together? Both are challenging assumptions. Both know what it costs to stay small when you're ready to grow. And both have learned, the hard way, that the story you tell yourself is the thing most likely to hold you back.There's genuine laughter in this one, honest talk about what goes wrong when you run events, employ people and try to do everything yourself, and a few moments that will make you sit up a bit straighter.Subscribe or follow wherever you listen to podcasts. ★ Support this podcast ★

$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.

What does it take to go from getting fired at 27 to building a 6-figure side hustle? If you ask Colin Macintosh, the answer might surprise you. It's not the flashiest strategy or the biggest budget. It's something a lot of businesses have stopped doing altogether, genuinely caring about the people they serve. Colin is a CTO recruiter by day and side hustle entrepreneur by night. He got fired at 27, and somewhere between the pink slip, the margaritas, and a movie he'd watched, an idea was born. That idea became Sheets and Giggles, a eucalyptus bedsheets brand he built, scaled, and exited. But this episode is really about what came next. Dirt Cheap Compost is exactly the kind of side hustle I love most; simple, low cost, profitable, and scalable. No complicated tech stack, no outside funding. Just a real problem, a real market, and a flyer tucked inside a Halloween pumpkin. Sheets Resume is a different kind of story. An AI-powered resume builder doing thirty thousand resumes a month that sounds like an overnight success, until you find out about the years old Reddit post driving all that traffic. In this conversation Colin and I cover: The lessons from Sheets and Giggles that shaped everything that came after Why raising venture capital was a treadmill he'll never step on again How a $40K compost business was built with flyers and a seasonal pumpkin campaign How a Reddit post written in 2018 became the foundation of a 6-figure side hustle The customer experience rule that turns buyers into your most powerful sales people Colin genuinely gives a damn; about his customers, about the problems he's solving, and about the people he builds with. And as you'll hear today, that's not just good character ... it's good business. Do you like what you're hearing? Consider giving it a caffeinated thumbs up. We'd really appreciate it! Need a little (and sometimes big) push to start and stay focused to grow your side hustle? Dive into my online Masterclass: How To Turn Your Thoughts Into Wanted Things.

A lot of people in sales treat sales, especially in real estate, as a one-and-done transaction. Close the deal, move on, repeat. But in this episode, we talk about why that approach quietly kills long-term growth. At its core, sales is a people business. The agents who actually build something sustainable aren't chasing the next lead, they're taking care of the relationships they already have. When you stay connected with past clients, you create repeat business, steady referrals, and a network that grows on its own. We share real examples of what this looks like in practice, including how one relationship turned into multiple transactions over the years—and a genuine personal connection along the way. That's the shift: from “clients” to people who trust you, advocate for you, and want to keep working with you. We also get into how to stay in touch without being annoying, why client events and simple check-ins matter, and how small efforts compound over time. If you're tired of constantly chasing new business, this episode is a reminder: the opportunity is probably already in your database. Let's dive in!

Where are you not allowing your business to change and pivot so that something different can show up? What limitations are you choosing by asking for change and then resisting it?  In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Cassy Summers asks Simone Milasas some questions about building a business done different. There is a much bigger choice available for all of us when we are willing to listen to the whispers, follow the energy, and open ourselves up to receiving; especially in business! Where are you not acknowledging that by your choices, you are impacting the entirety of the world? You being you changes the world! but you have to be able to pivot and choose different.  You've got this! Questions And Tools: "Is it mine?" "What request of the universe and demand of myself can I be that will allow more ease, joy and glory?" "What limitations am I choosing" "What will this create?"  "What am I aware of?" "Where is my energy required today?" "Is it for now? Is it for later? Or has it changed?"  Tools: Just because it's business, doesn't mean it has to be serious. What have you made so meaningful and significant about business that's not true? What lies are you telling yourself daily? What if in business you were always in question, not looking for a result, and it was always about following the energy? No choice is right and no choice is wrong. Come out of judgement of change. Open up to your awareness. Don't do it for the money but be aware of the money. Profit is not just the money you have left over when you pay the bills. What profitability do you and your body receive from your choices? When working for someone else, treat it like your business; you'll receive more from it. Are you really willing to find out what else is possible? Constantly look at, what does your business desire, what do you desire? If you did business done different, what would you choose? Where are you not allowing your business to change and pivot so that something different can show up?  How much energy can you pull into your business today? If you stopped forcing everything you are currently forcing, what change could you create? What question could you ask? Who could you talk to? Stop being peoply and start being an infinite being. Stop judging yourself. Make the demand to choose something different What do you know? What can you be with this? Let go of control and allow the universe to show you something different. Choose one thing today that would allow something different to show up. Don't judge yourself when you go into doubt or judge.   What limitations are you choosing with your body? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Everywhere you are trying to create a business from a timeline and what's right and wrong and what matters and what's relevant, will you destroy and uncreate it? All you are doing is creating solidity and not allowing anything more to show up. Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Destroy and uncreate everywhere you are forcing your body and not listening to it. Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. What would happen if you were out of control, out of definition, out of form, structure and significance, out of linearities, concentricities and limitations with your business, ideas, projects, relationships, everything? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you have decided that judgement creates? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.
