In today's episode, I sat down with Blair Jones - wellness advocate, astrologer, and conscious parenting mentor - for what turned into one of the most honest, moving, and expansive conversations I've had on the podcast. From building a wildly successful network marketing business to navigating motherhood, marriage, identity shifts, and the space in between — Blair holds nothing back. We talked about redefining success, releasing the hustle, rekindling intimacy, and what it looks like to be in a season of unknowns. If you've ever questioned what's next after “having it all,” this episode is going to hit home.

Ryan Gable, Managing Partner, BW Forsyth Partners Ryan discusses how his team uses a hybrid private equity model backed by Barry-Wehmiller to execute people-first, long-term acquisitions.

There's this trait that every leader should have. You can name a million of them but what is it? I've heard plenty of leadership trainings. The best one's will focus one specific trait for practice that can level up your work. But there's only one that I believe should be applied generally. We live in a world of more. Yet, in this case, you can bet that if you treat people this way, you'll find success in building relationships. Wel built relationships lead to strong teams that attract top talent and loyal customers. People want to be part of this type of environment. I had to invest an episode in this concept because I know it's power. It saved my life. Have a generous rest of the week.

Scaling franchise growth in today's competitive and tech-driven economy is no small feat. If you're a brand looking to expand nationally or internationally, how do you structure your business to support sustainable growth without sacrificing brand consistency or operational quality? That's exactly the kind of question this week's episode of Fordify LIVE! The Business Growth Show sets out to tackle. This episode dives deep into the world of franchise development with Troy Hooper, CEO of Hot Palette America and one of the driving forces behind Pepper Lunch's rapid expansion throughout North America. With over three decades of experience in hospitality and restaurant operations, Troy has helped revitalize legacy brands, roll out high-performing new concepts, and build franchise systems that are not only scalable but also rooted in operational excellence. His leadership is responsible for adding over 85 new units to the Pepper Lunch pipeline in just a few short years—all while ensuring franchisees are set up for long-term success. Troy joins host Ford Saeks for a timely, high-impact discussion on what it really takes to build and scale a brand that performs in any market. They explore what brand leaders need to consider before pursuing franchise growth and why creating a strong infrastructure behind the scenes is just as critical as selecting the right franchisees. From building effective systems and processes to working with vendors and suppliers in a way that supports aggressive expansion, Troy pulls back the curtain on the realities of modern franchise leadership. If your goal is scaling franchise growth without losing the DNA that makes your brand special, this episode brings fresh insight from the trenches of the restaurant and hospitality world. The conversation also touches on what makes a franchise model work—and more importantly, what can cause it to stall out. With candid stories and sharp business strategy, Troy shares how his team built a system that works not just for today's market but for the evolving consumer and tech landscape ahead. And while the episode centers on the restaurant industry, the strategies discussed are applicable to any brand serious about building something that lasts. Throughout the episode, Troy emphasizes the importance of leading with empathy, clarity, and a commitment to operational rigor. Whether you're working with a team of ten or managing hundreds of units across continents, the principles behind scaling franchise growth remain consistent: strong leadership, proven systems, strategic partnerships, and a mindset focused on constant improvement. Ford and Troy explore how businesses can prepare internally to support external expansion—and why the readiness of your infrastructure can make or break your ability to grow effectively. The episode also highlights how technology, including AI and automation, plays a growing role in franchise operations. From improving guest experience to scaling brand messaging at a local level, Troy shares how his team has adopted AI tools to stay ahead of the curve while still delivering on the core promise of hospitality. This conversation is a must for entrepreneurs, franchisors, and executives thinking about growth beyond their current footprint. It offers thought-provoking ideas and a refreshing look at what's possible when you combine experience with innovation, and vision with execution.

Is it time to finally admit that not all customers are created equal—and that treating them as if they are might be costing your business more than you realize? In this episode, I dig deep with Dan McCarthy, Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Maryland and co-founder of Theta, to challenge one of the most hotly debated questions in customer experience: Should all customers be treated the same? Dan's expertise in customer lifetime value (CLV) exposes a stark reality—most companies are bleeding money on large swaths of their customer base and missing out on major growth opportunities by not prioritizing their highest value customers. The impact of understanding, modeling, and acting on CLV? Smarter resource allocation, optimized acquisition channels, and retention strategies that actually move the needle. Why should you listen to Dan? His work—frequently featured in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and The Economist—sits at the intersection of advanced academic research and bottom-line business outcomes. Having sold a business to Nike and now a partner at Theta, Dan brings a rare combination of rigorous analytics and practical execution, helping both corporate leaders and investors see their customers (and their value) more clearly. If you want your business to thrive—not just survive—in a customer-driven market, this episode is essential listening. Here are three burning questions Dan answers during our conversation: How do you accurately calculate customer lifetime value, and why do so many businesses get it wrong? What are the most common missteps that leaders make when trying to identify and serve high-value customers? How can customer data be used to shift business strategy, improve profitability, and even recalibrate entire corporate valuations?

Meet Dan McCarthy Dan McCarthy is an Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, and a co-founder of Theta, a leading business focused on customer lifetime value prediction and insights. Previously, Dan taught at Emory University's Goizueta Business School for seven years before moving to Maryland (my alma mater—Go Terps!). Dan's innovative research and commentary on customer lifetime value, corporate valuation, and unit economics have attracted national attention, appearing in media outlets such as Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Barron's, CBS, CNBC, and The Economist. He is also nationally recognized for his work partnering with Dr. Peter Fader, with whom he initially founded a business acquired by Nike before their current collaboration at Theta. Before his academic career, Dan earned both his undergraduate and PhD degrees from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He spent several years on Wall Street at a hedge fund, bringing a financial and data-driven lens to marketing science. As a frequent speaker and consultant, Dan helps enterprise leaders, marketers, and investors leverage advanced modeling to answer high-stakes questions about profitability, resource allocation, and growth.

Is business debt holding you back, or is it an opportunity for growth? Many businesses operate with some form of debt, and how you view and manage that debt can make all the difference in your success. Understanding the distinctions between investment debt, business debt, and consumer debt isn't just about financial literacy, but also knowing what fuels your business growth and what drains it.   When you see your business as an asset worth creating and maintaining, debt becomes a tool rather than a burden. In this episode, you'll learn how to manage debt without it influencing your money-making behavior, why starving your business to pay off debt often backfires, and practical strategies for creating a payoff plan that actually works. Most importantly, you'll discover how to serve powerfully and sell confidently, no matter your current financial situation.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

This episode is a powerful reminder that business success is rarely about one big move, but is almost always about the small shifts in attention, data, and decisions that lead to the big results. Jackie is moving through the (sometimes very annoying) truth that where your energy goes, results follow. We get real about the uncomfortable reality of watching sales dry up when your attention wanders, the mindset spiral of seeing high-cost leads, and what it takes to actually stay grounded as a CEO when something doesn't perform the way you want it to. This one is about facing the data, making meaning from the metrics, and getting grounded in the decisions that keep your business moving forward in a big way (without spiraling out or selling yourself short).   In this episode, you'll hear: The mechanism behind unexpected course sales rolling in How we navigate a super high lead cost without losing our minds (or momentum) Why some clients need tough love (and how I knew Jackie was ready to hear it) The CEO skill that stops almost any spiral The surprising reason I'm telling Jackie NOT to set a revenue target for this launch and what I believe her KPIs should be instead How to hold both the excitement of launching and the disappointment when it doesn't seem like it's playing out how you want   Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Jackie on Instagram Learn more about Jackie on her website

Welcome to Series 4 of The extra-Ordinary Leader. In this launch episode, I take a moment to define what I mean by “extra-Ordinary leadership.” It's not about being grandiose or exceptional in the traditional sense—it's about adding extra to the ordinary parts of your leadership, life, and career.I open up about my own inflexion point—moving from a full-time stay-at-home mum and vicar's wife to running my own consultancy, working with senior leaders and organisations across sectors. I share how this journey has shaped my mission: to help people access and borrow the "extras" from others so they can show up more powerfully in their own spaces.In this season, we'll hear from a range of brilliant leaders about their own inflexion points—the turning points that reshaped their leadership and lives. You'll also hear shorter solo episodes, ‘Dolly in My Pocket', where I pull bite-sized insights from my book The extra-Ordinary Leader.If you want to think differently, lead courageously, and navigate your own inflexion points with clarity, this season is for you.The extra-Ordinary Leader book is out now.
