The average freelancer is often absolutely clueless when it comes to running a business. And I can only say this because I did some of the dumbest possible things for the first five years that I was a freelancer. Until I started looking at best practices from other successful industries - in many cases who had spent millions (or hundreds of millions) of dollars to figure this stuff out. When you take what's already working in other industries and adapt it to your freelance business… You can charge higher prices, have more predictability, higher close rates, more finished projects without tearing your hair out from the stress. What lessons exactly? That's what this week's episode is all about: 8 Business Secrets Freelancers Can Steal From Multi-Billion Dollar Industries If you're currently: Doing most of your work as one-off projects Providing a whole bunch of different services and packages Relying on referrals and warm leads to get clients This episode could change your entire business for the better.

Todd was out in Montana Elk hunting and came away with a few business lessons. Each day at 5 am, Todd and 2 of his friends began to hike the mountain to an observation point, listening and watching for signs of Elk. Once they heard or saw an Elk, they began to press forward and find a way to get close. With lots of patience and the right game plan, they could be successful. As Todd reflected in the mountain silence, he realized that Elk hunting and business are very alike. Four success principles came to mind: 1. Preparation 2. Patience 3. Taking Action 4.

Ever wondered how different generations really impact your business—both as customers and as employees? In this week's Small Business Made Simple Podcast, I sit down with the fabulous Michelle Pascoe to unpack the power (and quirks!) of generational marketing and leadership. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z—and even the brand-new Betas—we explore what motivates each group, the assumptions that hold us back, and how smart leaders can bridge the gaps.

What if the secret to hitting your business goals was the same as hitting a target in the wild with a bow? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I break down what I call The Five P's of Bow Hunting and Business—a framework that helps you not only hunt smarter but also build and run your business with more alignment, patience, and resilience. These aren't just hunting stories (though I've got a few wild ones). They're lessons you can actually apply to your entrepreneurial journey so you can keep crushing it without burning out.Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:Preparation is everything. Success—whether it's a clean shot or a business launch—starts way before game day. Get your systems, strategy, and mindset locked in.Performance is what counts. When the opportunity shows up, you have to execute. No second-guessing. No freezing. Just full presence and precision.Patience is a practice. Both hunting and business require waiting, adjusting, and playing the long game. Success rarely happens overnight.Perseverance is non-negotiable. Setbacks are part of the process.

What could a Swiss Army officer possibly teach you about building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions? Turns out – everything. Today's guest, Sam Goodner, took the discipline and precision he learned in the Swiss Army and applied it to entrepreneurship.  He founded Catapult Systems, scaled it through two major recessions, and eventually sold it after 20 years. Later, he helped take Flash Parking from a stuck $3M startup to $100M in revenue and a billion-dollar valuation. Now a mentor at Capital Factory and author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision, Sam distills 30 years of lessons into practical principles that help entrepreneurs scale businesses that thrive without them. In this episode, Sam shares why scaling always begins with a sales playbook, how “cloud conversion therapy” won over 100% of skeptical customers, and why annual contingency planning can make your company recession-proof. He also breaks down what it really takes to prepare for a sale years in advance and how unforgettable first-day employee experiences can shape culture for decades. If you're ready to scale with Swiss Army precision and build a company that runs without you, tune in now.  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:02:03 Running a business like clockwork in practice 00:17:00 Curated client experiences turned skeptics into loyal customers 00:25:33 Starting Catapult Systems 00:28:54 Recession-proofing strategies 00:33:49 Separate teams allow multiple ventures under one umbrella 00:38:54 Selling businesses: Define your number and prepare years before exit 00:43:07 Strong EBITDA and audited records maximize company valuation 00:48:17 Choosing investment bankers 00:53:45 “Like Clockwork: Run Your Business With Swiss Army Precision” 00:59:54 First-day experiences build culture and long-term loyalty 01:01:35 Advice to young entrepreneurs 01:05:09 Wrapup — Additional Resources:

#287 In this episode, I share a recent frustrating experience I had with a coworking space (spoiler: I'm no longer a member). But more importantly, I'm using it to highlight 3 key lessons every business owner needs to hear. Here's what happened… Miscommunication, unaddressed billing issues, and inflexible systems turned what could've been a minor hiccup into a lost relationship. Whether you run a gym, coach clients, or sell products, the principles apply: Communicate clearly – Say what you'll do, then do what you said. Radio silence breaks trust faster than anything. Fix billing mistakes fast – There's no such thing as a “small” billing error. Own it. Stay flexible – If your system can't make room for your customer, they won't make room for you. I wrap up with a challenge: What's one policy, habit, or touchpoint that might be quietly pushing your best people away? This one might sting a bit but it'll sharpen your business. Let's dive in.

When Experience Gets Rebranded Off the Menu What happens when a brand forgets that experience—not logos—creates loyalty? In this episode of A Shark's Perspective, Shark is joined by licensed therapist and social media influencer Trey Tucker to explore Cracker Barrel's controversial rebrand. Together they unpack the psychology of nostalgia, why customers revolt when traditions vanish, and how brands risk everything when they lean away from what makes them unique. Key Takeaways Protect the Experience – Great experiences create differentiation stronger than any logo. Marketing Can't Fix Everything – Operations, culture, and service matter more than cosmetic changes. Invest in What Lasts – $700 million spent on logos won't fix cold biscuits; true growth comes from food, service, and culture. If you want to understand the intersection of branding, psychology, and customer loyalty—this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Owning your mistakes doesn't make you less professional, it makes you trustworthy. It signals to your clients, your team, and your community that you're human, that you care, and that you're willing to do better. The truth is, your clients, and your community feel safer around someone who can own their impact.Being direct, firm, assertive and honest in communication. Being able to trust and rely on other people to hand over control. Reliability is SO important.2. People will judge you - do it anyway! The simple truth is that people will judge you, however, when we are led by fear of judgement we restrict our own growth and prevent ourselves from taking opportunities. The purpose is not to be universally liked, it's to take the opportunity whether you're liked or not.You take back your power when you stop trying to please everyone and connect to vulnerability.  3.Time is your greatest commodity and resource, protect it! Your time is sacred, audit your calendar like your life depends on it. Giving away your time without intention is like stealing from your own business. Boundaries are a practice of self-respect.If you want to go fast go alone - if you want to go far, go togetherThe health of our business depends on the health of our friendship, it's hard to separate but leaning into our very different strengths and working to our strengths is helpful. Going into business together has been our smartest investment to date. You can find more of us here: Our Online Psychology practice: Did you know we have online appointments available with our amazing therapists Lisa or Maddie.

Despite being the son of a pharmacist turned wine professional, I did not know the purpose of an Entheogen. Ross Halleck set me straight,so much so, that after defining an entheogen, the value of the consumption of wine became clearer. Ross Halleck doesn't just make wine—he might just ask you to close your eyes and seek the divine within a single glass. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll be swept past the typical vineyard tales and deep into the spiritual and mystical roots of wine itself. You'll learn how Ross stumbled into the wine trade not through family legacy or grand ambition, but with the curiosity of a seeker and a penchant for unearthing life's mysteries. Paul and Ross unravel why, for some, wine is more than a social lubricant or status symbol; it's an “entheogen”—a conduit to something sacred. Discover how the trappings of wine culture, from magazine scores to over-intellectualization, can miss the magic entirely, and why Ross is on a mission to return wine to its ancient role: bringing people together, not driving them apart. You'll step inside his West Sebastopol vineyard and hear why he believes winning top awards means little if you can't connect with people's hearts. The conversation flows from digital reviews and the democratization of taste, to the pitfalls of marketing wine as pure commerce, to modern-day plant medicine ceremonies designed to foster self-discovery, belonging, and reverence. As the layers peel back, you'll come away with a fresh perspective on wine—not just as a beverage, but as a timeless link to the sacred, the mysterious, and the collective human story. And if you've ever wondered why a certain glass makes you feel something inexplicable, or why wine alone among drinks is revered across cultures and epochs, this episode offers more than an explanation—it offers an invitation to experience the “vine intervention” for yourself.
