To some companies, servicing really kicks into high gear after the sale. Why then? Because those companies realize that the repeat and referral pot of gold awaits them, when their paying customers feel they are being cared for after the sale. We encourage you to inject this mindset into your business models.Support the show

Do you have some stinkin thinkin that needs to get eradicated?Support the show

Does your management style look like this: “Your hired. Come in tomorrow at 4:00, and you can start waiting on those tables of hungry people.” Why do so many brands manage this way? Are you sure these employees know the mission, and all the mechanics that support the mission? Maybe it's time to reprioritize the order in which we teach, train and delegate.Support the show

Olivia Landau, Co-Founder and CEO of The Clear Cut—the largest digitally native natural diamond jewelry company in the United States—shares how a side hustle selling engagement rings through Instagram DMs transformed into a $100M company. Despite being dismissed by venture capitalists and warned by her family not to become an entrepreneur, Olivia Landau chose to bet on herself. Alongside her then-boyfriend (now husband and co-founder), Kyle, she took a leap of faith, walking away from the safe path and rejecting startup “best practices” that didn't feel aligned. Instead of following the noise, she doubled down on what felt right: human connection, deep education, craftsmanship, and building slow and intentionally. Her voice is a powerful reminder of what can happen when you block out the noise, trust your gut, and build your way—even when everyone says you're doing it wrong.   Key Takeaways and Topics: How The Clear Cut started as an educational blog and Instagram side hustle Olivia's generational roots in the diamond industry and how that shaped her approach The myths around lab-grown vs. natural diamonds—and why she refuses to sell lab-created stones Fundraising rejection: Why no VCs would invest and how they raised $700K from angels and customers instead The Clear Cut's breakthrough moment during the pandemic and how their custom-built tech scaled the business Why “unscalable” things are worth doing first The emotional toll and impostor syndrome that come with fundraising and startup leadership How Olivia navigates being a new mom, co-founder, and CEO Debunking ethical misconceptions about natural diamonds—and why the real story matters Why having a personal brand and showing your face on social media can be a competitive advantage Her advice to aspiring founders: Don't wait for perfection, just take the first step   Disclaimer: Olivia shares her view that natural diamonds can be more ethical than lab-grown alternatives. This is a nuanced topic; what is “ethical” depends on your values. Natural diamonds may support economies like Botswana's, while lab-grown stones produced with renewable energy may appeal to those prioritizing environmental impact. Some stats shared from memory have been clarified: Diamonds make up 25–30% of Botswana's GDP, not 80% as mentioned (that figure refers to exports). Diamond revenues fund free primary education, subsidized secondary education, and universal healthcare in Botswana. While “stipends” aren't standard, the government provides scholarships and financial support to students and select groups. We've included these clarifications to support informed decision-making.   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Mark Loveys, CEO of Datagate, to talk about something most MSPs don't think about until it becomes a problem — billing.

You'll hear: How Datagate got its start and found product-market fit early on Why unifying billing helps MSPs grow faster and keep customers longer What separates the MSPs who scale from the ones who stall Real examples of how automating billing led to more revenue without more staff Why AI and automation are changing the future of billing If you're serious about growing your MSP, this episode will give you a new way to think about billing as a growth lever instead of just an admin task.

Today's MicroVee is a powerful reminder that bad advice can lead to great outcomes — if you trust your gut.I sat down with Massimo Marioni from Fortune and shared one of the worst pieces of business advice I've ever been given… and how ignoring it helped me build a massive retail business. We also chopped it up about the best advice I got from my dad, why success isn't about money or titles, and the biggest regret I have from my early 20s.

This sounds like a funny question! However, the reality is sad. So many companies don't train their associates to be greeting initiators. When we bypass the chance to greet first, we are often starting the transactional experience as thought the customer is an intruder! Why would we do that? Why do so many of us do that? Imagine if your company deliberately started saying hello first?Support the show

Jenna's path weaves through non-traditional college years, a detour into zoology (because saving the world felt like a good place to start), and finally landing in the world of geospatial tech and GIS.We talk about what it's like to not have it all figured out, to follow your curiosity, and to keep showing up, even when the next step is unclear.

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations" on the Career Flipper podcast, I, Jenny Dempsey, take you along on my career journey.  This year, I've committed to opening up about my own career flip, just as I encourage my guests to do. So here we are, in May 2025, and I can hardly believe it's been four months since I started my current day job. It feels surreal to say that, especially considering I was laid off for two years before this.During this time, I've been balancing my full-time job with furniture restoration on the side, dedicating Sundays to it, and squeezing in podcasting and all the related tasks whenever I can. If that sounds overwhelming, it is! Life can be a juggling act, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Scheduling time with friends often feels like a game of Tetris, as we all navigate our busy lives.I've always been the type of person who thrives on variety. I'm the one multitasking—doing laundry while putting away dishes, preparing to record a podcast, creating social media content for my furniture flipping page, and making sure my dog, Dwight, gets outside for a potty break. My brain has always thrived on this mix of activities, and I've been like this for as long as I can remember.Looking back, I've come to realize something significant. For a long time, I believed that work—capital W work—was my identity. I thought it was the only thing I was good at. I didn't believe in taking vacations; if I did, I'd bring my laptop along and continue working. I even had a panic attack in front of a customer service team I was managing because I was so consumed by my job. I poured everything into my work, only to learn the hard way that companies would replace me in an instant. When I was laid off and struggled to find a new job for two years, I was left questioning my identity. Who was I if I wasn't working?I dive into this and more in the episode!

In this episode, Scott Becker shares the top two lessons that shaped his career: the power of building great teams and the importance of respectful, people-focused leadership for long-term success.

In this episode, Steve Sims distills 38 years of brutally honest business experience into just five minutes, delivering straight-shooting advice every entrepreneur needs to hear. Drawing from decades of hard-won lessons, Steve shares the three key truths that every business owner should know—and prepare for—if they want to succeed in the real world. Steve kicks things off by tackling the inevitability of screw-ups in business. Whether it's human error, shifting algorithms, or unexpected industry changes, something will go wrong, and Steve stresses the importance of expecting problems and planning for them before they hit. This mindset shift, he says, allows you to respond strategically rather than get caught off guard. Next, Steve flips the script on the classic hustle trope, insisting that entrepreneurs value time over dollars. Reminding us that while money can be replaced, time cannot, he emphasizes the need to evaluate opportunities not just by the payday, but by the time, stress, and effort required to get there. Finally, in a refreshingly cynical yet practical twist, Steve urges listeners to approach every new contract and relationship with skepticism—not starry-eyed optimism. By deliberately looking for potential pitfalls and being willing to walk away if things don't add up, he explains how he's avoided the costly mistakes that once tripped him up, using a memorable story with the Elton John Foundation as an example. Packed with candid insights, tough love, and practical strategies, this episode offers a survival kit for anyone navigating entrepreneurship. Steve's honest advice will help you spot trouble before it starts, value your most precious resource, and make deals with your eyes wide open. If you're ready to disrupt, connect, and grow with lessons from someone who's truly been there, this is the episode you don't want to miss.

In this episode of The Green Grind Podcast, Kory and LeRoy sit down with Jacob Bennett from Pennsylvania, a former full-time teacher who took a bold leap to turn his lawn care side hustle into a full-time business.

The guys dive into the pros and cons of having a business partner, how responsibilities are delegated, and what's worked (and what hasn't). Jacob also runs a local supply yard, and the crew talks through how to structure and balance multiple businesses for long-term success. Whether you're considering leaving your 9-to-5 or navigating a business partnership, this episode is packed with real-world insight you don't want to miss.
