Send us Fan MailArtificial intelligence has transformed the way businesses create content, but has it also made marketing less human?In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey sits down with marketing strategist Jiun Liao, founder of Lobo Media Marketing and host of the Anti-Viral Podcast, to explore why authentic relationships still outperform algorithms, automation, and endless content creation.Jiun shares his philosophy of Human Marketing—the belief that businesses grow through trust, meaningful conversations, and genuine connection rather than manipulation, advertising tricks, or chasing viral moments. From growing up in Ecuador before the internet to building businesses in Canada, he explains why slowing down, telling better stories, and focusing on people creates lasting success.The conversation also explores AI's role in marketing, the surprising lessons learned from publishing a print magazine in 2026, why businesses abandon relationships when they start marketing, and how discipline allows entrepreneurs to stay true to their values in a rapidly changing digital world.

Kelsey Kitsch was Canada's number one female entrepreneur two years in a row. She was on the cover of magazines, speaking at global economic forums, and building multimillion-dollar companies. She was also sitting on the floor of her locked office, in the darkest period of her life, wondering why none of it felt like anything. In Part 1 of this conversation, she and Dwayne explore what happens when the life you built no longer fits — and what it takes to build a new one from the inside out.In this episode:The three-factor brain state that produces your best ideas — novelty, motion, and high emotion — drawn from Mary Helen Imordino-Yang's research, and why Kelsey's most creative moments happen driving fast with the windows down in a place she doesn't knowWhy most people set goals wrong: Kelsey's case for short-term weekly goals anchored to a long-term direction, and why the deeper question isn't "what do I want to achieve?" but "who do I want to be when I get there?"Kelsey's experience with guided psychedelic therapy — the four-hour ego vs. soul battle she audio-taped during her first journey, and what it felt like to experience sufficiency for the first time: just being, without striving or driving or winningWhy woo-woo is a category problem, not an evidence problem — and how Kelsey frames breathwork and psychedelics the same way: repeatable patterns that produce consistent results, regardless of whether the mechanism is fully explained yetThe Othership breathwork app and Dr. Joe Dispenza's Marco Island program as non-invasive entry points for anyone curious about expanded states but not ready for psychedelicsThe single most important insight Kelsey has learned about love and being human: we can only feel loved in proportion to how much we're seen, and we can only be seen in proportion to how much we show of ourselves.Content Warning: This episode discusses psychedelics from personal experience.

Early adopters convert easily — which is exactly why founders get blindsided when mainstream traffic plateaus.Law 6 is removing every friction point between visitor and buyer so you convert at scale, not just with your fans.About the book:The 7 Laws of Scaling by Jim Huffman is the operating system that separates seven-figure companies from eight-figure ones. Fewer than 5% of businesses ever cross $1M in revenue; less than 0.4% hit $10M. This book maps the seven sequential, compounding laws that decide whether a company scales or stalls — with a diagnostic worksheet in every chapter to pinpoint exactly which law you're breaking first.

Send us Fan MailIf your team is working hard but results feel chaotic, the problem usually is not effort. It's direction. We dig into the second part of our leadership pillar in the Five to Thrive series by pairing two fundamentals that determine whether your strategy actually turns into growth: influence and alignment. Think of influence as the engine of leadership and alignment as the directions. A powerful engine with bad directions still wastes time, burns people out, and creates frustration.Click here to watch Part 3 of this leadership seriesClick here to watch Part 1 of this leadership seriesClick here to watch Part 1 of this leadership series on YouTubeClick here to Schedule a Free Business ConsultationSend us Fan MailWelcome to The Brian Wright Show:Brian Wright works closely with executives, entrepreneurs, small business owners and executives in five areas essential to thrive in the new economy: Leadership, Culture, Sales, Hospitality & Marketing. He calls it, "The Five to Thrive." You have come to the right place If you want to grow your business and surpass goals unlike ever beforeIn this video you'll learn powerful business growth and efficiency strategies broken down into five categories that transform:✔ Leadership✔ Culture ✔ Sales ✔ Hospitality✔ MarketingThanks to our Sponsors:New Patient GroupWrightChatThrive Consulting GroupClick here to Schedule a Free Business ConsultationToday's EpisodeWe unpack the three mechanisms of influence that help people move willingly instead of being pushed by rank or title. That starts with relational trust built through consistent behavior, active listening, and transparent communication. From there we move into contextual clarity, communicating the why behind decisions so change management does not turn into resistance, confusion, or passive compliance. We also talk reciprocal value, aligning organizational goals with individual aspirations by knowing your people as real humans, not just numbers on a dashboard.Then we get tactical about organizational alignment: set non-negotiables while giving autonomy, stop micromanagement from killing confidence, and fix your meetings by focusing on lead measures that people can control instead of only lag measures that shame them after the fact. We also cover feedback loops like one-on-ones, team roundtables, and cross-training to improve coordination and customer experience, plus the “disagree and commit” standard so debate does not become drift. If you want a team that executes fast without taking 55 wrong turns, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a leader on your team, and leave a review with your biggest alignment challenge.

What if the biggest obstacle to growing your business isn't your competition, your strategy, or the market, but the beliefs and subconscious patterns influencing your decisions every day? On this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, Galen Hair sits down with business growth coach and author Joseph Drolshagen to explore the hidden patterns that cause entrepreneurs and leaders to self-sabotage, stay stuck, and settle for less than what they actually want. Highlights: Why successful people can still unconsciously self-sabotage The subconscious programming influencing up to 85% of our results, according to Joseph How Joseph turned down the opportunity to take over a million-dollar construction company Why alignment should come before strategy How other people's experiences can become limiting beliefs of our own Why entrepreneurs often need to throttle back instead of work harder How small, individualized habits can create lasting change The "blue moments" and unexpected opportunities that can emerge from alignment Why the ultimate goal isn't just more revenue, but making business fun and exciting again Reach out to us!

Mastering business growth strategies isn't about spending more on ads; it is about accessing the right databases.Most entrepreneurs think they need to hire more sales staff or pump cash into social media campaigns to see real results. This approach often leads to burnout and high overhead costs. Instead, you can bypass the friction of cold customer acquisition by partnering with entities that already serve your ideal client.When you leverage existing databases, you stop chasing cold leads and start focusing on warm, trusted connections. It is the fastest way to scale a business without increasing your headcount. This type of strategic collaboration is the key to sustainable expansion.Subscribe for more practical business growth strategies, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

In this amazing episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with Carolina Flores to take you behind the vision for Iconic Impact, an intentional experience created for ambitious women, entrepreneurs, leaders, thought leaders, and change-makers who are ready to create their next incredible chapter.

They also talk about why Q4 is the perfect time to start preparing for 2027.

For women who have spent years building behind the scenes, Allison and Carolina also explore the next step of becoming more visible.

Iconic Impact was created to bring together ambitious women who understand what it means to build something meaningful—and who believe that success becomes even more powerful when we use it to support, champion, and create opportunities for other women. From the incredible speaker lineup to the hands-on Impact Lab, meaningful connections, and the new Impact Grants supporting women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders, Allison and Carolina share what makes this experience different and why every detail has been created with intention. If you're ready to strengthen your visibility, expand your influence, connect with women who understand the journey, and create a more intentional next chapter, this conversation will give you a glimpse of what's waiting for you at Iconic Impact.

#1061 What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't strategy or execution — but the identity you're operating from? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Cassie Shea, founder of The Possibility Investor, to unpack what it really means to iterate with your identity as a business owner. Cassie shares how her journey from running a $14M company at 28 to logging 3,500+ coaching hours shaped her core framework: Desire → Deserving → Decisions — starting with the deceptively hard question, “What do you want?” Together, they explore why so many entrepreneurs hit an invisible “deserve ceiling,” how proving energy can quietly drive (and drain) growth, and how constraints — like health, seasons of life, or boredom — can become the catalyst for smarter, more sustainable business evolution. Cassie also previews her free 3D Assessment and where listeners can connect with her as she launches The Possibility Investor! (Original Air Date - 12/31/25) What we discuss with Cassie: + Identity-driven business growth + Iterating with your identity + Desire → Deserving → Decisions framework + The “deserve ceiling” + Proving vs. creating + Boredom as a signal + Constraints fuel creativity + Building beyond scarcity + Frameworks over hustle Thank you, Cassie!

I lay out a practical definition that has nothing to do with title, rank, or authority, and I tell a story from my childhood that proves it. Then we get into the shift that changes how you run meetings, set goals, and coach your team: stop chasing finite outcomes you cannot control and start mastering the controllables that create them. If you've been living and dying by dashboards, this will feel like a reset in the best way.From there, we dive into the first core dimension of leadership: vision and strategy. I break down why vision is future-focused and never fully “accomplished,” why it should not be a number, and why it should not just describe what you sell. We also talk strategy as execution, not ideas, including why “quick fixes” backfire, how change management really works, and how to protect your long-term vision with short-term, actionable, controllable goals.If you want a leadership framework you can actually apply, subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a quick review so more leaders can find the Five To Thrive series. What's one controllable you can improve this week?

Kim Hatch was at rock bottom. After seven grueling years working as a police officer in a domestic violence unit, she lost her job and found herself navigating a brutal divorce. She needed to completely reinvent her life—but she never expected that salvation would come in the form of a septic tank.With zero industry experience (admitting she "didn't even know where poop went") and a single $100,000 used truck, Kim launched Turner Septic Services. Her first job took her four hours and left her in tears. Today? Her team completes 18 jobs a day, pumps up to 400,000 gallons a month, and generates up to $200,000 a month in peak-season revenue.In this episode of the UpFlip Podcast, Kim sits down with Ryan Atkinson to share her unbelievable "zero-to-hero" story.

Bharath Krishna Rao |  CEO and Co-founder of EmobiBharath  is a dynamic leader with extensive experience across multiple industries, particularly in renewable energy. His journey began with a significant role in the family enterprise, United Telecoms Ltd., where he spearheaded its foray into renewable energy.Bharath's early career was rooted in the evolving grid-connected renewable energy sector, a time when Independent Power Producers (IPPs) were pioneering renewable energy projects. As the industry matured, he identified a critical gap in the technology and large-scale manufacturing capabilities.Recognizing this need, Bharath has dedicated his career to mastering the technologies essential for renewable energy adoption. His work spans energy storage systems, applications for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and solutions such as chargers and inverters. With a deep conviction that energy storage is vital to replacing fossil fuels with renewables, he has focused on building the technological expertise needed to drive this transformation.Bharath's partnership with Dr. Sathya Prasad has been instrumental in Emobi's development of advanced products in energy storage and battery technologies, establishing the company as a global competitor in the field. Their combined experience in renewable energy generation and lithium-ion battery manufacturing has laid a solid foundation for innovation and sustainability.

There are three shifts happening in the done-for-you industry right now, and most VAs, OBMs, and service providers have not caught onto them yet. If you have already built a solid business but the way you have been running it no longer fits how you want to grow, these shifts are for you. They point to a future where you can grow your income without stacking on more clients and hours. What does a more flexible business model actually look like? Why is an offer ecosystem replacing one-off and tiered services? And why is being fully booked becoming a worse flex than having space in your calendar? I share the three shifts I am seeing and how getting ahead of them puts you way ahead. In this episode:✨ Why there is no single right way to grow a done-for-you business✨ The move from one-off and tiered services to an offer ecosystem✨ Why fully booked is becoming a worse flex than open calendar space✨ How to grow revenue from the expertise you already have✨ Why your business is allowed to evolve as you do

There's a reason your business feels harder than it should, and it's not because you're not working enough. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I unpack a hidden issue many entrepreneurs face: building offers based on inspiration instead of intention.When your offers are unclear, your clients are confused... and confused people don't move forward.This conversation explores HOW to create a clear journey for your audience, WHY having too many offers can actually slow your growth, and WHAT it takes to build a business that multiplies impact without multiplying exhaustion.If you're a Christian business owner who wants to simplify, scale, and steward your calling well, this episode will give you a new lens for building your offers. The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned. Whether it's your structure, your clarity, or your capacity, this show helps you identify what's off and what to focus on next.Hosted by Edna Harding, author of "The Ugly Side of Sales 2.0" and founder of Favor & Wealth, a business growth strategy firm that helps leaders scale with clarity, structure, and biblical alignment.

Most entrepreneurs are surrounded by people who love them and still have no idea what they're going through. In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack why building a business can feel so lonely, even when you're surrounded by people who care about you. They answer three listener questions: how to close the gap with a spouse who can't fully relate, why chasing a challenge outside the business keeps you sharper inside it, and why family members and peers are rarely equipped to give meaningful advice. Michael's advice is simple: stop trying to get people to understand, and go find people who already do. Here's what you'll learn: Why the people who love you most still can't relate to what you're building How to invest in yourself in a way most entrepreneurs overlook Where to find people who've actually lived what you're going through Feeling isolated right now doesn't mean something's wrong. You just haven't found your people yet.

If your growth dies the moment you stop paying for ads, you're renting your audience, not owning it.Law 5 is about building compounding traffic — the kind that creates more traffic — and shifting from rented attention to owned reach.About the book:The 7 Laws of Scaling by Jim Huffman is the operating system that separates seven-figure companies from eight-figure ones. Fewer than 5% of businesses ever cross $1M in revenue; less than 0.4% hit $10M. This book maps the seven sequential, compounding laws that decide whether a company scales or stalls — with a diagnostic worksheet in every chapter to pinpoint exactly which law you're breaking first.

In coffee we can often question the impact of our efforts. Over time though, small consistent steps in the right direction can not only carry you over many miles, it can transform you and those for whom you are working. What may seem like plodding work now, is the foundation for what will be built in the future.  Today we are talking with someone whose work has taken several turns over the years. All of which were in the direction of uplifting farmers with whatever means were at hand. Today the massive impact of those consistent actions has led to impact beyond measure.  We are talking with Ben Carlson of Long Miles Coffee. Ben Carlson is a coffee industry leader and social entrepreneur with 23 years of global experience, including 16 years on the ground in East Africa. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Ben serves as the CEO, Chief Culture Creator, and Sales Director of Long Miles Coffee—an impact-driven organization dedicated to producing world-class specialty coffee while uplifting smallholder farming communities out of generational poverty. Ben's journey in East Africa began in 2010 following a quality survey of Burundi's coffee sector. Driven by a vision to challenge exploitative supply chains, he transitioned from coffee trading to hands-on production, founding Long Miles Coffee in 2013 alongside his wife, Kristy. What started with a single washing station serving 180 families in Bukeye, Burundi, has scaled into a multi-country operation employing over 130 team members and supporting more than 9,500 farming families across Burundi and Uganda. Under Ben's leadership, Long Miles has consistently set benchmarks for quality and sustainability, earning numerous Cup of Excellence awards and achieving Burundi's highest coffee sales per pound. His current work focuses on pioneering climate-resilient agriculture, including building Africa's first carbon-neutral, minimal-water coffee processing facility and developing a regenerative model farm on Mount Elgon in Western Kenya. Recognized as Imbibe Magazine's "Coffee Person of the Year," Ben is a frequent international speaker, event host, and competition judge on impact-driven business models and sustainable agriculture. He also serves as the regional distributor for Ecotact protective packaging in Uganda and Kenya. Ben lives in Kenya with his family, continuing his mission to reshape the future of African specialty coffee.
