I am so excited to introduce AJ Vader the New York Times Best Selling author of the book Wealthy and Well Known (co-written with her husband Rory Vader.)  AJ lived, slept, and breathed her work. Until she didn't. This sudden change forced AJ to dig deep and identify her personal brand. She and Rory had a unique opportunity extended to them, with divine timing, that became their signature program - Brand Builders.I have been a big fan of AJ and Rory since I completed their program Brand Builders in 2021. Personal Brand AJ and Rory were working at the same business when one of her superiors came to her and notified her that her services were no longer needed; effective immediately. Those next days were tough as AJ did a lot of self reflection. Out of the blue a long time friend reached out to Rory and AJ for consultation on how to improve their brand and business. That business owner was so impressed they said “This is it! THIS is what you are meant to do!” They could have said no. They could have come up with every excuse in the book to pass on the idea. Instead Rory put in his notice to quit his job and AJ and Rory joined forces to build Brand Builders. Brand Builders Brand Builders is a program that guides and teaches members to identify their personal brands. They help people to identify their why which is really their who. I completed this program in 2021. I wanted to complete this program to see if there were any gaps in my business knowledge. Remember I have a teaching degree not a Masters in Business Administration! I will always be a life long learner. AJ pointed out that we are no longer paying for information, we are paying for application of that information. And through the 4 stages that they teach that's what the business owner learns. They value the community feedback, much like Organize 365®, and continue to iterate and provide results.  I am planning on attending one of their upcoming masterminds. The reason I am so ecstatic? I have found it difficult to find other women business owners who have shared their path to success. Women are running their homes (business #1), then their businesses (business #2), and lastly possibly business #3 if they are in active parenting. I can find all kinds of advice on growing a business from men. But what I see with Brand Builders is a more equal divide of men and women who participate. The mastermind will be led of course by AJ and Rory. It's such a great example for my women running businesses and myself. A woman who understands the unique struggles of being a mom, wife, and household manager.  Wealthy and Well Known This book was written to help the people AJ and Rory used to be. AJ reiterated many times that for $27 you too can learn everything I learned in 2021! Nothing is held back. Their desire is to change reader's lives with the transformation of their business and mindset and hopes that readers will share the book with others. The other driver behind the book is to find business owners that need additional help and guidance. They want to come alongside business owners and help to succeed.  I believe in this book so much that I purchased 150 copies to give to my team, mastermind attendees, certified organizers, and all female business owners that I have relationships. I hope you will consider purchasing the book or download the free audio book so you too can identify your personal brand and apply the information that you learn.

From Habits to Impact: Five Principles of High-Impact Coaching

The Athletics Of Business

In this powerful solo episode, host Ed Molitor reflects on lessons from legendary coaches and his own leadership journey to share a core truth: you can't give away what you don't have. Whether you want your team to believe, grow, or stay inspired, you have to model it first. Drawing on the wisdom of John Wooden, Tony Dungy, Greg Popovich, and Marcus Freeman, Ed unpacks five principles every high-impact coaching leader must embrace: fueling yourself, shaping perspective, building habits, avoiding comparison, and focusing on what you have. With stories that connect athletics, business, and life, this episode challenges leaders to look inward, sharpen their daily practices, and multiply their impact.   Our Host Ed is a coach down to the very smallest molecule of his DNA. Whether he's a husband and father at home or working with a client in the business world, he is an energized, passionate, and near-obsessive coach who is fully invested in showing up with all he's got to help you show up with all you've got. His approach insists on presence. He knows no other way to catalyze change except by getting on the court with you, playing side-by-side, and encouraging you to keep pushing, especially when the going gets tough.  In the last 30 years, Ed has developed his leadership skills in both athletics and business. From working as an NCAA Basketball coach at Texas A&M, DePaul NIU, and Lewis University to becoming the Vice President of a national recruiting firm, Ed Molitor has experienced the potential and pitfalls of leadership at every level.  As the founder and CEO of The Molitor Group, today Ed guides emerging and established leaders across biopharma and biotech to apply the proven lessons of coaching in their pursuit of inspiring and driving their team's performance.  Through personalized training, workshops, keynote speeches, his writing, and as a podcast host, Ed seeks to empower individuals and their organizations to achieve victory through a focus on transformation, fundamentals, compassion, mental toughness, and vision. Ed graduated from St. Ambrose University with a B.S. in Business Administration and a minor in Economics where he was a member of the Men's Basketball team serving as the co-captain his Senior year. Before St. Ambrose, he studied business at Creighton University where he played on the Men's Basketball teams which included a 1989 MVC Regular Season and Tournament Champions, NCAA Tournament, and a 1990 NIT Tournament.   What You'll Learn in This Episode How legendary coaches like John Wooden, Greg Popovich, and Tony Dungy modeled habits, connection, and composure Why perspective shapes performance—and how to help your team “see what you see” The power of habits in creating culture and consistency How comparison undermines leadership and why authenticity builds trust Why resourcefulness always beats resources—and how Popovich built a dynasty with fundamentals and culture A simple but powerful weekly challenge to grow yourself and ripple growth to your team Resources & Links Ed Molitor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themolitorgroup/ Website: https://www.themolitorgroup.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathleticsofbusiness   In this episode: [00:00:01] Introduction – “You can't give away what you don't have” [00:02:40] John Wooden and the power of discipline in details [00:03:24] Greg Popovich and investing in humanity before performance [00:05:08] Tony Dungy's composure on the sidelines [00:07:40] Habits as culture and Wooden's lesson on socks [00:08:34] Marcus Freeman and authentic leadership at Notre Dame [00:11:54] Popovich on resourcefulness, fundamentals, and culture [00:13:59] Five principles recap + weekly leadership challenge

"When things are going well, it's exciting. When they're not, you don't know where the bottom is."In this episode, entrepreneur, author, and developer Jose Berlanga and I discuss navigating complexity and leadership lessons learned from childhood adversity and many years of leading through high-stakes moments. We specifically discuss the importance of calculated risk-taking, building resilient teams, creating contingency plans, and the difference between leadership under pressure and micromanaging out of fear. In high-stakes moments, success often hinges not on avoiding risk, but on knowing which ones are worth taking, and leading with conviction when the path forward is unclear.Key Takeaways:--> Discomfort is ConstantLeading through difficulty isn't an exception—it's the norm, especially in entrepreneurship.--> Risk as a Way of LifeEarly adversity can build resilience; successful leaders develop a tolerance for discomfort and pressure.--> Preparation > PredictionContingency planning is critical. Leaders can't afford denial or false optimism in crisis moments.--> Delegation is a SkillLet go of tasks incrementally, starting with repetitive, non-critical areas. Avoid micromanaging.--> Team PowerBuild a proactive team that can think and act independently. Leadership shifts you from doing to coordinating.--> Short-Term vs. Long-Term ThinkingIn crises, long-term strategy narrows to survival mode—prioritize urgent, essential tasks.This episode will help you navigate those complex, high-stakes moments with more clarity, confidence, and ease. Listen in!---Jose Berlanga, an entrepreneur from Mexico City with over 35 years of experience, has made a significant mark in Houston's real estate industry, notably through co-founding Tricon Homes. His diverse background, including degrees in Business Administration, Economics, and Philosophy, has fueled his success in various sectors, making him a source of inspiration and mentorship in the business community.

This is very special episode of the podcast — one that's quite personal and rooted in a story that spans generations. Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of visiting Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceului Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) in Baia Mare, Romania — a school that holds profound meaning for my family. I was there to take part in my mother's 50th high school reunion, a beautiful moment of reflection and reconnection. But my family's connection to this school goes far beyond that. My grandfather — a respected senior leader in the field of engineering — was among the group of leading engineers who shared a vision of creating a school that developed the future talent in civil building engineering. They created a school where young people could be trained for real careers in engineering, technology, and construction — a vision that continues to shape the school today. My godparents, also respected senior leaders in engineering, taught for many years at the school, bringing their professional experience and expertise to students. Now, that legacy lives on through my godparents' daughter, Daniela Maria Deceanu, also an engineer who now serves as the Vice Principal of the school. My own passion for education has been deeply shaped by both of my grandfathers. One, an engineer with a forward-thinking mindset, believed strongly in preparing students for the workforce of the future. The other, a devoted language teacher, passed on a love for words, learning, and communication. My parents carried on their passion for learning by teaching me how to learn and instilling in me the importance of lifelong learning. Their values continue to guide me in my work and in conversations that I have on this podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Tudor Andrei Tămâian, the Principal of Anghel Saligny Technical High School, to talk about what it means to lead a vocational school in today's world. Tudor shares how the school partners with local industry, facilitates European work exchange programs, and helps students gain practical, hands-on experience. We also talk about the school's impressive track record at skills olympics and professional competitions, where students consistently prove the power of applied education. This conversation is about leadership, vision, and the future of vocational learning. Tudor Andrei Tămâian is the Principal of Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceul Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) in Baia Mare, Romania. He is a highly dedicated professional with a strong academic background in Economics (B.A.), Business Administration, and Human Rights (M.A.). With over 15 years of experience as an educator and four years as a high school principal, Tudor also brings valuable insights from previous roles in sales and financial services, particularly in credit and banking. As a school leader, he promotes a collaborative and open management style that values communication, teamwork, and a positive work environment. His decisions are always student-centred, aiming to improve both the learning experience and student outcomes. Passionate about sharing knowledge and values with younger generations, Tudor is committed to being part of a mission-driven team focused on reducing school dropout rates and increasing the number of students who successfully complete their high school education. He strongly believes in education as a powerful tool for building better futures. Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceul Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) https://www.asalignybm.tpsvision.ro

Under his leadership, Omnicell has grown from a single product offering to delivering the most comprehensive portfolio of medication management solutions across the continuum of care.Mr. Lipps founded Omnicell in 1992 after observing how inefficiently medical supplies were managed when his daughter was hospitalized at birth. Inspired by his work in airline industry operations and logistics, he sought to enable better management of supplies and medications to help improve patient care.Omnicell became a publicly traded company in August 2001, and today healthcare systems worldwide leverage the company's automation and advanced services offerings to maximize clinical and operational outcomes.In 2014 Mr. Lipps was elected to the Bellwether League Hall of Fame, an industry organization that honors healthcare supply chain innovators, pioneers, and visionaries.Mr. Lipps has made giving back to the community a priority at Omnicell. Omnicell Cares, the company's formalized charitable efforts program, translates this into action, making a positive difference by fostering opportunities for volunteerism, charitable giving, and raising awareness for critical topics and issues. Mr. Lipps and his wife, Kathy, have focused their own philanthropy on poverty, nursing and public education, pharmacy research, youth groups, and local community efforts.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Dr. Jenn: Connecting ideas.Captain Hugo: Pragmatic observation.Restoring ocean ecosystems while offering unforgettable polar expeditions may sound ambitious, but that's the mission of Positive Polar LLC, led by Dr. Jenn Bonilla and Captain Hugo Hinrichsen. The company is pioneering a new approach to ocean restoration by integrating cutting-edge science into its expedition cruises.Jenn explained, “Our passengers will not only enjoy incredible experiences in pristine polar environments but also witness and even participate in real-time scientific experiments aimed at restoring the ocean's natural balance.” Positive Polar's vision includes biomimicking the ecological role of whales, whose populations have been drastically reduced over the past century. This innovative approach seeks to restore biodiversity and sequester carbon naturally, addressing both environmental and climate challenges.The concept is as unique as it is compelling. While many expedition cruises offer educational activities, Positive Polar makes science central to the experience. Jenn highlighted this distinction, saying, “What we're doing is actually advancing a very specific set of validated—or to be validated—science about ocean restoration.” Guests aboard Positive Polar's ship will witness experiments in ocean restoration, such as using whale biomimicry to grow phytoplankton, which supports marine life and captures carbon.Captain Hugo emphasized the environmental impact of their operations, explaining that the company goes beyond sustainability. “As our ship sails, we'll generate life in our wake by spreading nutrients that restore ocean biodiversity and sequester carbon,” he said. Positive Polar also plans to use carbon-neutral fuels like hydrogen-derived alternatives to minimize emissions.The company is currently raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. Investors not only gain the opportunity to support ocean restoration but also receive benefits like discounted cruise experiences. As Hugo put it, “Finally, our investors will feel the ship and spread our message. It's a perfect fit.”Positive Polar's model combines a sustainable business approach with science-driven innovation to create both environmental impact and financial returns. With just a small share of the growing expedition cruise market, Positive Polar aims to fund research, restore oceans, and deliver exceptional experiences.By supporting Positive Polar, investors and passengers alike can play a vital role in restoring the oceans to their pre-industrial health.tl;dr:Positive Polar combines expedition cruises with science to restore ocean biodiversity and combat climate change.Jenn and Hugo discussed their innovative whale biomimicry reactor, which transforms waste into ocean-restoring nutrients.The company's use of carbon-neutral fuels and nutrient-spreading ensures minimal environmental impact while sailing.Positive Polar is raising funds through WeFunder, offering both environmental and financial returns for investors.Jenn and Hugo's superpowers—connecting ideas and pragmatic observation—drive the company's mission and innovation.How to Develop Connecting Ideas and Pragmatic Observation As a SuperpowerJenn described her superpower as the ability to connect seemingly unrelated ideas, technologies, and disciplines. She explained, “There should be a way for us to treat waste so it looks like whale poop before it's dumped in the ocean. If it did, it would grow phytoplankton.” This innovative thinking drives Positive Polar's whale biomimicry reactor, a project that transforms waste into ocean-restoring nutrients.Hugo's superpower, on the other hand, is pragmatic observation. He shared how his experiences in Patagonia and Antarctica shaped his perspective. “I saw how the lagoons no longer froze and realized I had to do something,” he said. Hugo's sharp observations led to the creation of Positive Polar, combining tourism with ocean-saving science.Illustrative Story:Jenn's ability to connect ideas is exemplified by her vision for the whale biomimicry reactor. Drawing on her biotech background, she recognized that shipboard waste could be treated to mimic the ecological role of whale feces. This innovation transforms waste into nutrients that grow phytoplankton, restoring marine ecosystems and sequestering carbon.Hugo's story of growing up in Patagonia illustrates his pragmatic observation. When he returned to show his children the winters of his childhood, he found the lagoons no longer froze. This marked a turning point for him, inspiring his mission to restore the oceans through science-backed tourism.Tips for Developing the Superpowers:For Connecting Ideas (Jenn's Superpower):Explore intersections between unrelated fields or disciplines.Leverage your expertise to creatively solve problems in new domains.Collaborate with experts from diverse backgrounds to gain fresh perspectives.For Pragmatic Observation (Hugo's Superpower):Pay close attention to changes in your environment and their implications.Use experiences to identify practical solutions to larger problems.Focus on actionable insights rather than abstract concerns.By following Jenn's example of connecting ideas and Hugo's pragmatic approach to observation, you can develop these skills. With practice and effort, you could turn these into superpowers that enable you to drive meaningful change and do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJenn Bonilla (she/her):President, Positive Polar LLCAbout Positive Polar LLC: Positive Polar is the first expedition cruise company dedicated to funding groundbreaking research and solutions to heal our environment.

Descended from Danish whalers, Hugo is determined to transform that legacy into one of redemption, championing whales as keystone species for planetary health. Having lived in Patagonia, he has witnessed firsthand the devastating changes in climate—disappearing ice, snow replaced by rain, and the loss of the winters he once cherished with his children—fueling his drive to spark a global wave of environmental stewardship.With a distinguished career as a Reserve Frigate Captain, naval engineer, polar helicopter pilot, and expedition leader, Hugo has commanded naval and air-sea operations, led rescue missions, and supported scientists in some of the harshest environments on Earth. Beyond his extensive maritime and aviation expertise, he holds a Master's degree in Strategic Development and Business Administration, embodying both leadership and entrepreneurial vision. Splitting his time between Concón, Chile, where he raises his five children, and the United States, where he is building Positive Polar, Hugo is preparing to guide the company into its next chapter.

The Courage of a Leader
The New Rules of Courageous Leadership in Uncertain Times | Mary Lynn Fayoumi

The Courage of a Leader

When the ground keeps shifting beneath us, courageous leadership means leaning into what's real; our experience, our humility, and our values. Mary Lynn Fayoumi, President and CEO of HR Source, brings decades of wisdom in workplace culture and HR leadership. She guides organizations through disruption with a clear focus on purpose and people, and she shows us how to do the same. We talk about what it takes to lead right now, when answers aren't clear and the pressure to act feels constant. Courage today looks less like having all the answers and more like pausing to process, listening deeply, and staying grounded in what matters most. It's about creating space for others, knowing your true north, and responding instead of reacting. Mary Lynn reminds us that it's okay not to know everything, and that strength often shows up as steady presence, not quick decisions. We slow down, reflect, and lead with calm, curiosity, and a focus on what truly matters. That's how we move forward together. Highlights 1. Calm Is a Superpower - Learn how to find your center and lead from it—even when everything around you feels chaotic. 2. Authenticity Builds Trust - Being real, showing emotion, and admitting you don't have all the answers creates space for others to do the same. 3. Processing Takes Practice - Hear why leaders need built-in reflection time and how routines can anchor clarity in the middle of noise. 4. Humility Creates Momentum - Letting go of control opens the door to innovation and stronger team engagement. It's about leading with people, not above them. 5. Purpose Is the Compass - When the path is uncertain, returning to your mission helps guide every decision with confidence and care.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Tony Gray, author of The Business Development Body of Knowledge and founder of the Global Business Development Association, about how professionals can lead with trust in business development. Tony shares a neuroscience-based model of trust built on three pillars: purpose, empathy, and truth. He explains how these elements activate specific brain chemicals—oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin—that foster genuine connection and credibility. Rather than rely on anecdotal tactics, Tony advocates for a scientific, principle-based approach to building long-term business relationships, emphasizing that aligning with a prospect's purpose and being candid—even when it means saying you're not the right fit—can create lasting trust and unexpected referrals. The conversation also explores the differences between empathy and sympathy, how to build the “muscle memory” of candor, and why referrals are the most scalable form of business development. Tony introduces his framework for understanding the full customer journey—from awareness to advocacy—and shows how business development differs from sales or marketing in its exponential impact. With practical guidance and deep insight into human behavior, this episode delivers a compelling case for why professionals must build trust deliberately, not by chance.

Surprisingly, many older adults approaching retirement feel a sense of dread – even when they have sufficient financial security and are reasonably healthy. In a project sponsored by Harvard Business School, Teresa Amabile's research team spent a decade researching retirement to understand people's attitudes toward, decisions about, and experiences of retiring. She and her colleagues, Lotte Bailyn (MIT), Marcy Crary (Bentley University), Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy Kram (both of Boston University), interviewed 120 knowledge workers in successful companies, including some who were still working, some who had retired, and some who were about to enter the retirement transition. The 14 people approaching retirement in the near term became the “Stars” of this research because they agreed to be interviewed multiple times as they finished their careers, officially retired,In this episode, you'll discover: The “work” of retiring and how to approach the necessary tasks in a way that increases the likelihood of a smooth transition into a satisfying retirement life. The major identity challenges people face in retirement, and some creative ways you can meet those challenges. The upheavals to personal and professional relationships that can occur during this life transition and how you can maintain and build a mutually supportive relationship network post-retirement. About Teresa M. Amabile:  Teresa M. Amabile is the Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration, Emerita, at Harvard Business School. Her most recent book, Retiring: Creating a Life That Works for You, presents insights from a decade of research on the psychological, social, and life restructuring challenges of retiring. Her colleagues Lotte Bailyn, Marcy Crary, Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy E. Kram collaborated on that work. Before turning her research interests into retirement transition, Teresa devoted over 40 years to researching creativity and innovation. Extending that work, she studied how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their creativity by affecting inner work life - the confluence of motivation, emotions, and perceptions. The findings of that research appear in her coauthored book with Steven Kramer, The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work. Teresa's work has appeared in over 100 scholarly journal articles and a variety of other outlets, including Harvard Business Review. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings, including Pixar, Genentech, TEDx Atlanta, Apple, Pfizer, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.

It's 2014 and Amy Daughters is a forty-six-year old stay-at-home mom living in Dayton, Ohio. She returns to her hometown of Houston over the Thanksgiving holiday to discuss her parents' estate—and finds herself hurled back in time. Suddenly, it's 1978, and she is forced to spend thirty-six hours in her childhood home with her nuclear family, including her ten-year old self. Over the next day and a half she reconsiders every feeling she's ever had, discusses current events with dead people, gets overserved at a party with her parents' friends, and is treated to lunch at the Bonanza Sirloin Pit. Besides noticing that everyone is smoking cigarettes, she's still jealous of her sister, and there is a serious lack of tampons in the house, Amy also begins to appreciate that memories are malleable, wholly dependent on who is doing the remembering. In viewing her parents as peers and her siblings as detached children, she redefines her difficult relationships with her family members and, ultimately, realizes that her life story matters and is profoundly significant—not so much to everyone else, perhaps, but certainly to her. Amy's guide said her trip back in time wouldn't change anything in the future, but by the time her thirty-six hours are up, she's convinced that she'll never be the same again. where I came from  It all started when Dick and Sue Weinland hooked up at an apartment complex in Houston, Texas. Four years later, after things had gotten quite cozy, I was born just a few short miles from the Eighth Wonder of the World, a.k.a. – the Astrodome. I blossomed into womanhood north of H-Town, in Spring, Texas, where I attended Klein Oak High School. From there, it was on to the Princeton of the Texas Panhandle – THE Texas Tech University – and just five glorious years later, a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.  That's when it became time for me to not only enter the world of business (I was in the purchasing arena for a decade) but to do my own hooking up and child creating. The plot twist that brings us to the rest of the story was my husband's job moving us to England for three years. Finding myself temporarily without employment, I did the next obvious thing and became a writer.

Brothers Jonah and JDew from Banking Bros demystify infinite banking and reveal how business owners can leverage specially designed whole life insurance policies to create guaranteed cash flow, fund business needs, and retain top talent. Using their signature three-cup visual method, they explain how to save and spend money simultaneously while building wealth outside traditional market-dependent vehicles.  Key Highlights  How infinite banking works using the three-cup system: premiums, cash value, and death benefit  Why whole life insurance is the only insurance product that guarantees a payout  Practical business applications including employee retention strategies  Buy-sell agreement funding without market risk  Salary continuation and deferred compensation options for small businesses  Tax advantages and guaranteed growth features  Common misconceptions about life insurance and age/health requirements  Notable Topics Discussed  Employee retention strategies for small businesses competing with larger companies  Using infinite banking for equipment purchases and business investments  Cross-purchase and buy-sell agreement structures  The difference between term and whole life insurance for cash flow purposes  How to become your own banker and reduce third-party interest payments  Tax implications and guaranteed contract features  Memorable Quotes  "We are not talking about investment from us. We have a baseline of guarantee and consistency, a spot of certainty with cash flow privately used with no taxes."  "There are guarantees inside the contracts that we're utilizing for this cash flow structure, there are things that we can promise in the future to these people."  "You cannot make a decision of uncertainty until you have a guarantee and certainty place to start from."  "Cash flow does not care how old you are. Insurance does. Cash flow does not care if you're healthy. But insurance does."  Closing Thoughts  The Banking Bros offer a refreshing perspective on financial strategy that prioritizes certainty and control over speculation. Their approach to infinite banking provides business owners with practical tools for growth, employee retention, and wealth building that don't depend on market performance. This conversation is particularly valuable for small business owners looking for competitive advantages in talent retention and flexible funding solutions.  Guest Bios:  Jonah Dew - IBC Practitioner, Entrepreneur & Speaker Based in Greenville, SC, Jonah discovered infinite banking in 2016 and was immediately drawn to its ability to keep wealth within families while maintaining control. With a Business Administration degree and background in banking and insurance, he's passionate about helping others become good stewards of their wealth through this proven system.  Jeremiah "JDew" Dew - Speaker, Serial Entrepreneur & IBC Practitioner  After tackling his own debt challenges post-college, JDew discovered infinite banking in 2015, which tripled his net worth within two and a half years. As a father of four, he understands the real-world financial pressures families face. Together with his brother Jonah, he co-founded their educational platform to make infinite banking concepts accessible to everyone.  Find the Banking Bros:  Banking Bros Website  Cash Compound Website  YouTube  LinkedIn  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

The diagnosis you never want to hear from your accountant: your business is an expensive hobby! Instead of creating profit and freedom that supports you to live your life, it might feel more like it's taking over and keeping you from what you really want to be doing… right? If you've ever wondered what profitable businesses are really doing differently - or if you just wish finances felt a little less intimidating - this episode is made for you. This week, I'm sitting down with Tana Kramer, profitability consultant and founder of TK Solutions. Tana isn't your typical finance expert.

With decades of experience across industries from content creation to wellness clinics, Tana knows exactly where business owners get stuck…and how to help them get clear and confident with their numbers. Here's a taste of what we're unpacking in this conversation: Why does profitability matter far more than just “making money” - and what's the real difference between revenue goals and profit goals? What's a profitability consultant actually do that your accountant doesn't - and how can this relationship transform your business decisions (and your stress levels)? How do you start identifying the hidden leaks or outdated activities that might be draining your profit (and your energy) without you even realising it? What are some easy, non-scary routines to build your confidence with finances - even if spreadsheets make you want to run and hide? How did Tana build a flexible, location-independent business - without sacrificing client results (and what practical steps can you take to do the same)? Ready to lighten the mental load, banish the overwhelm, and start seeing your business produce the income you know is possible? Tune in for practical tips, warm encouragement, and stories that might just inspire your next big step. Listen in - I promise, finance can be fun!
