The common thread of championship athletic teams is humility. At a certain point, once the collective team becomes humble, the real improvement and growth starts. Without that humility, the teams will never achieve the ultimate goal of a championship. It's no different in business. If we want to succeed, and grow as businesses, the collective personnel must become humble enough to pursue improvement. Are you humble enough?Support the show

If you have never jumped into the customer shoes to experience your product/service, now might be the perfect time to do so. While your at it, get behind their keyboard, wear their glasses, and sit in their chair. You will quickly learn that customers see our companies differently than we imagine.Support the show

Companies can lose BIG money when they deliver a product that looks, and feels inferior to the original sample. This happens all too often. Why? Companies want to pad profitability by using cheaper raw materials for the order fulfillment production. Is your company doing this? If so, maybe it's time for an integrity-driven approach to filling customer orders? BTW…the example in this video created a $696,000 loss for the manufacturer!!!Support the show

Many of us split our work week between our homes and company offices. Trade professionals transition from job to job in the same day. Each of us has common tools of our trade to work quickly and efficiently. However, many of us come to a work location without the necessary tools to perform our duties. Is this fair to our employers? Is it fair to customers? What about our associates and team members? Is it time to repack your backpack or car to make sure you have what you need to do your job?Support the show

The Most Expensive Lie Designers Tell ThemselvesMost designers don't struggle because of their creativity.They struggle because they believe a lie:“I'm a designer. I shouldn't have to deal with the backend of my business.”In this episode of The McClain Method Podcast, John McClain sits down with Staci Davidson, founder of Everything But Design, to talk about the systems designers avoid—and why that avoidance quietly costs them time, money, and control.From bookkeeping and procurement to processes, delegation, and profitability, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what actually keeps a design business running smoothly behind the scenes. Staci explains why understanding your numbers matters even if you outsource, how systems protect your creativity instead of stifling it, and why designers who refuse to engage with the backend often stay stuck.You'll also hear practical insights on when to bring in support, what designers should still understand at a high level, and how strong backend systems improve both profit and the client experience.If you want more clarity, less stress, and a business that supports your creativity instead of draining it, this episode is for you.In this episode, we cover:The mindset that limits designers financiallyWhy avoiding the backend creates risk, not freedomThe difference between delegation and abdicationHow bookkeeping and processes impact profitabilityWhen it's time to bring in operational supportGuest: Staci Davidson is the founder of Everything But Design, a company that helps interior designers manage bookkeeping, procurement, operations, and backend systems so they can focus on their creative work.Resources: Learn more at everythingbutdesign.com Listener bonus: Use code JOHN50 for 50% off Stacy's online shopText Me a Message!Design feels natural.

Years ago, I gave my wife business advice that technically worked but ultimately led her to build a company she didn't love. She had a thriving creative business with a massive waiting list, and I convinced her to scale it, effectively turning her from an artist into a manager. In this episode, I'm sharing that story to highlight a critical lesson for every entrepreneur: just because a strategy makes financial sense doesn't mean it aligns with the life you actually want to live, and I'll walk you through how to filter the advice you receive so you don't end up successfully building a business that makes you miserable.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Giving something extra is another way of expressing customer appreciation. L'agniappe is a Cajun expression that labels a mindset of giving something extra.

The reality is that 80% of handwritten notes will get thrown away. The remaining 20% will quietly love them, save them, cherish them , or reciprocate by responding back. This applies to customers, spouses, kids, grandkids and friends. I would much rather put a smile on the 20% audience who appreciates receiving a heartfelt message. What about you?

Expressing appreciation is a dying principal in modern business. There is no way around this. Saying THANK YOU to customers is all but dead.

Dana White is an American businessman who is the CEO and president of the UFC. Outside of the UFC, he is the owner of Power Slap, a slap fighting promotion he founded in 2022. He's best friends with Donald Trump and tight with guys like Kid Rock and Zuckerberg. He randomly gave me cash out of his pocket one night when Cowboy Cerrone and I were down on our luck at the black jack tables. He had no reason to be nice to me but has always shown kindness and hospitality when I come to the fights. I'm a huge Dana White fan and I hope you are too after this podcast.

Why? Why? Why? In my 35 years of doing business, whenever there are problems, customers always want to know why. However, so many vendors get a failing grade when it comes to answering this simple question.

Customers defect after they have endured enough doses of la-di-da service. Time is the currency of the Experience Economy. When customers sense the violation of their time, they usually say goodbye to that vendor. It is simply their way to punish bad service. Where is your company in this cause and effect equation? Is it time to revise your service mindset?Support the show

What would customers say if you asked them what they thought of your customer service? Would they describe it as a lackadaisical approach to servicing orders, or a professional, well oiled machine? Talk to your customers. Be your customer. Find out what they think, and then throw away the Ladida approach and exchange it for a buttoned up approach. What say you?Support the show

Business is looking and feeling too casual these days. We operate at WARP speed, cutting corners, multitasking constantly. Then, amidst all this chaos, we partially answer questions with cryptic, text abbreviations. Our associates, or customers often ask us 2,3 or 4 questions at once, and then we go on to answer in unintelligible, short-hand quips that have tons of grey area, and, we only answer one of the multiple questions. This leads to misinterpretation, mistakes ensue, customers defect, and hard-earned profitability is swept away by the mistakes. Is this you? Is this your company?

In this episode, Peter and Tom dive into something that sounds a bit grand and serious, but actually sits right at the heart of what Artists do — creating a body of work. Whilst it might sound like something that happens after twenty years and a few gallery retrospectives, really, it's just about building a thread of consistency and intent in what you make. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, printmaker or photographer, having a body of work isn't about quantity — it's about connection. Peter and Tom discuss how that develops, how to recognise it and, as always, some top tips and best practice from their experience as working Artists.This Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson's Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson's Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com

Three Reasons Designers Stay Stuck (And How to Break Through Before 2026)If you've been feeling stuck in your design business — stuck at the same income level, stuck recreating your processes every time a new client reaches out, stuck second-guessing your pricing, or stuck behind a brand that doesn't reflect your true talent — this episode is the shift you needed.Today, John breaks down the three biggest reasons designers don't grow (even when they're working hard!) and teaches the mindset, strategy, and structure shifts he coaches inside The McClain Method. If you want a more confident, profitable, luxury-aligned business heading into 2026, this is your roadmap.✨ IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:Why your business feels chaotic even when your design work is beautifulHow reinventing your process for every new client drains energy, creativity, and profitWhat a real, repeatable business system looks like for designersThe difference between pricing based on fear vs. pricing based on transformationWhy your digital presence matters more than your portfolioHow brand alignment impacts the level of clients you attractHow to step into a higher level of confidence and clarity before the new year

Tired of losing accounts to low-price flyers or “I'll handle it in winter” cancellations? We share a practical retention system that keeps clients loyal by focusing on what they feel at home: fast replies, reliable visits, crystal water, and billing they can trust. No fluff—just the habits that stop churn before it starts.We start with communication, the heartbeat of retention. You'll learn how quick responses, photo proof, and simple updates solve the #1 reason customers switch providers. Then we lock in consistency: showing up the same day and within a familiar time window builds confidence, earns goodwill, and beats cheaper offers without a price war. We unpack seasonal myths too, explaining why winter can be messier than summer and how year‑round service prevents stains, algae, and costly spring recoveries. It's a clear script you can use at bids and renewals to set expectations and keep routes stable.Water quality makes or breaks loyalty, so we outline a preventive playbook: sustaining proper chlorine levels, using enhancers like borates or phosphate/enzyme programs, brushing every visit, and staying on top of filter maintenance. One bloom can be forgiven—repeat blooms are a deal‑breaker—so we show you how to document, communicate, and correct issues fast. Finally, we tackle billing transparency: notifying clients before parts are replaced, leaving old parts for inspection, photographing work, and giving clear price‑increase notices. When charges make sense, trust rises.Whether you're a solo operator or running a team, this episode gives you a proven framework to keep customers happy all year. If you found value, follow the show, share it with another pool pro, and leave a review to help more service teams build retention that lasts.Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

“If you are questioning what I'm doing, then why not get it from the source?” When you've consistently done the work to be one of the best, it's not just the on court respect and praise that is earned, it's how your voice resonates beyond the game and no better example of this than Kevin Durant. In this powerful and candid conversation, NBA superstar Kevin Durant sits down with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor to open up like never before. From his early days in Prince George's County to becoming one of the most dynamic scorers in NBA history, KD reflects on his journey through every team he's played for — the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, and Suns — and what each chapter taught him about loyalty, leadership, and growth. He opens up about overcoming devastating injuries, finding balance off the court, and the evolution of his mindset through success, criticism, and reinvention. He doesn't shy away from the questions surrounding his choices, his direct demeanor on social media and describes how he sees his iconic career vs. how it's viewed by the world. Revealing the darkness he experienced from his injuries to rediscovering the light from his time away from the game, KD's love and appreciation for the camaraderie, the intense competition and the high demands of the sport. He shares how special Olympic moments have been, how winning a championship doesn't define his legacy and lets us in on his bond with players around the NBA, especially Anthony Edwards, who he sees a lot of himself in and compares their relationship to a similar one he shared with the late Kobe Bryant. Durant also talks deeply about family, sharing heartfelt stories about the impact of his mother, Wanda, and his relationship with his father, Wayne, and how thier love and lessons shaped the man he is today. The conversation turns to business and life beyond basketball — from his ventures in media and tech with Boardroom to his vision for empowering the next generation of athletes and creators. And of course, KD keeps it real about being a lifelong Washington Commanders fan — the highs, lows, and that unwavering DMV pride. It's vintage Durant: honest, thoughtful, competitive, and always evolving. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button, like and comment- we love hearing from you Pivot family!
