Brandon shares how Surely became a leader in non-alcoholic wine and why nearly 90 percent of its customers still drink alcohol. Rather than targeting only those who are sober, the brand connects with people who want to enjoy wine on their own terms. He also introduces Arlow, the first legally recognized low-alcohol wine brand in the United States, offering half the calories and zero sugar while maintaining the full-bodied experience wine lovers expect.Listeners will learn how Arlow's concept grew from Brandon's deep understanding of consumer behavior and his curiosity about where the market was heading. He explains the technical challenges of dealcoholization, how his California-based team perfected the process, and what it takes to create a wine that meets both taste and quality standards in this emerging space.Beyond product development, Brandon discusses how Surely and Arlow have scaled from direct-to-consumer beginnings to major retail success. Today, Surely can be found in Target, Sprouts, Total Wine & More, and Spec's. He explains how the company's focus on profitability and sustainable growth has allowed it to thrive in a changing industry where investors now value lean operations over rapid expansion.As the conversation continues, Brandon shares leadership lessons from two distinct growth phases: one centered on fast-paced scaling and another built around operational discipline. He offers insights into the importance of communication, team alignment, and company culture, noting that even high-performing employees can hold a business back if they are not the right cultural fit.Brandon also reflects on his journey as a leader, emphasizing the need for transparency and collaboration, both with his team and with his investors. His approach to management highlights how curiosity, accountability, and clear communication can drive consistent results without compromising values.Now rooted in Austin with his family, Brandon talks about what makes Texas the perfect home for entrepreneurs like him. From the state's unique energy to its strong business community and culinary culture, he shares why Texas has become the ideal place to grow both personally and professionally.Whether you are interested in brand strategy, leadership, or the evolving world of consumer products, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how clarity of purpose and innovative thinking can build a business that lasts.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout Surely WineAbout Arlow Wine

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

Sadly, customer perception molds customer reality. This reality may not be true, but to the customer, it is their reality. If companies want to create better customer experiences, it behooves the company to understand the various realities customers are seeing, feeling and receiving. 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?

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.

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.

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.

However, so many vendors get a failing grade when it comes to answering this simple question.

In today's podcast I share my experiences becoming a hair business owner along with valuable tips for the overall hair industry!

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

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
