Welcome to The Savvy Dentist Podcast with Dr. Jesse Green, where we explore the intersection of dentistry, business, and personal growth to help you create a practice and a life you love.  In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green we have Australian Business Royalty … Bob Ansett. Bob Ansett is a renowned Australian entrepreneur, best known as the founder of Budget Rent a Car in Australia. Born in 1933, Bob grew up in a family deeply connected to business and innovation. He took Budget from a small operation in 1965 to a nationwide success, revolutionising the car rental industry in Australia through exceptional customer service and innovative marketing. His leadership and commitment to customer satisfaction made Budget a household name before he eventually stepped away from the company in the late 1980s. Bob is the son of the legendary Australian aviation pioneer Sir Reginald Ansett, the founder of Ansett Airlines. Reginald built one of Australia's most iconic airline companies, which operated for over 65 years before ceasing operations in 2001. His entrepreneurial spirit and determination were key influences in Bob's career, shaping his approach to business and leadership. Despite their shared passion for innovation, Bob carved out his own path, distinguishing himself in the car rental industry rather than following directly in his father's footsteps. Beyond his business achievements, Bob Ansett has been an influential figure in Australian corporate culture, advocating for strong customer service, ethical business practices, and employee empowerment. He has authored books on business and leadership and continues to inspire entrepreneurs with his insights on resilience and adaptation. His legacy, like his father's, is one of pioneering spirit and a commitment to excellence in service and business. [02:53] - Starting his first business. The challenges, and the triumphs. [07:41] - Bob suggests that you NEVER say ‘no' to a customer! [09:19] - The story and journey of one of Australia's greatest airline companies. ANSETT AIRLINES. [11:21] - How your resilience can be your greatest business driver. NEVER give up. Never quit. [13:38] - When everyone around you thinks you're ‘nuts'... how to find the confidence and drive to push through. [22:05] - Innovate … then innovate again … then innovate some more … [26:56] - Navigating the tough times in business. Bob endured 4 separate recessionary periods. Success leaves clues …

In this Overdrive Radio edition, big news: We're releasing today our brand-new Partners in Business playbook for owner-operator business, start to finish. The 2025 reboot of the PIB program is a total revamp designed with the decidedly mobile professional trucker in mind. You can access it today at https://overdriveonline.com/pib For more than two decades, Overdrive's Partners in Business, coproduced with owner-op business services firm ATBS, has focused on training and continuing biz education. Today, you'll find a brand-new format for all of the content that last year made up the 100-plus-page manual -- and plenty in the way of new updates. For this year's release, PIB goes from a single-download format to a much more dynamic online content library, easily accessed on any smartphone, tablet or laptop or desktop computer. The reorganization collects valuable tactics and strategies for long-term profitability in eight categories, charting the journey of owners from start-up all the way through to retirement: 1. The “Starting Line” section details the choice of business structures, motivating factors for different individual owners, and plenty to think about in terms of business and goal planning, choosing a freight niche, a motor carrier to lease to, and/or how and why to take another route altogether. 2. The “Equipment and Maintenance” category pulls on Overdrive and ATBS resources along with the accumulated knowledge of so many of our industry-participant contributors over the decades to detail the ways to acquire the best equipment at the most-favorable terms, down and dirty PM and repair tactics, and much more. 3. The third, “Business Management” section offers a wealth of insight on tracking costs, revenue and profits; building those profit and loss statements; and paying yourself for better business health analysis and load planning, among many other subjects germane to both beginners at the start of an ownership career and seasoned veterans in need of a business refresh. These three sections contain more individual parts than the remaining five, and there's a reason for that. They represent the bedrock foundation on which owners throughout history have built their success. The remaining five sections in large part will be pretty self-explanatory when you see their titles, and all is aimed at a self-help assist for owners to, long-term, better enjoy the fruits of long labor put into the business. That last bit's a nod to the title of Part 2 of Overdrive Trucker of the Year Alan Kitzhaber's “plan for better business” authored for Overdrive and published right around the time we announced Kitzhaber's big win in January. He's looking ahead to being able to retire quite soon, actually, after more than three decades trucking, mostly as an owner-operator. He'll be parking his truck amongst the rest of you at MATS this year, and I'm honored to be able to help host him at the show. If you won't be there, keep tuned for much more from him and other longtime owners in our show coverage. Truth be told, all of us here at Overdrive lean on those among you who engage with us for ideas worth sharing, a lot of Partners in Business itself in fact made up of the accumulated wisdom of those in the readership who've shared their expertise with us over the decades. Here's huge appreciation for all of you. Run through the new PIB at https://overdriveonline.com/pib As mentioned in the podcast, here's the registration link for ATBS's live update scheduled for March 25 charting 2024 owner-op income performance: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/3349075480558501214 And keep tuned for our MATS coverage later this week and certainly in the weeks to come here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/t/4372607 Also in the podcast: MATS-preview retreads from three interviews from the last several weeks with Jamie Hagen, Hotels4Truckers.com proprietor Dan Fuller, and trucker-songwriter Tony Justice.

Shoot us a Text.It's the last Friday of the month, and today we're covering new US tariffs on all sorts of Chinese goods, how OEMs are flocking back to television ads on NFL games, and Mr. Beast's manifesto on how to build a successful company. Show Notes with links:New tariffs go into effect today, as the Biden Administration targets Chinese-built EVs and other imports. The 100% tariff on Chinese EVs escalates trade tensions between the US and China and follows months of negotiation.The tariffs affect 14 categories of Chinese goods, including 50% on solar cells and 25% on key materials like steel, aluminum, and lithium-ion batteries.Tariffs on Chinese semiconductors are expected in 2025 and electronics such as laptops and cell phones are set for 2026.Chinese EVs only account for 2% of US EV imports.China has threatened retaliation, labeling the tariffs as “bullying” and escalating the global trade war.Automakers are ramping up their advertising spend during the NFL season after a few years of reduced activity. Brands like Toyota, Hyundai, and Detroit automakers are betting big on live sports, especially NFL games, to capture consumer attention.Automotive advertising increased by 17% over the last two NFL seasons and is expected to keep growing.Last NFL season, 44% of automotive ad spend on national TV was dedicated to NFL programming, compared to 31% across all sectors, according to Guideline.Toyota has become the “Official Automotive Partner of the NFL,” and GM plans to boost ad spending by $400 million in the second half of the year to promote new vehicle launches.NFL broadcasts garnered 17.9 million viewers on average last season, with the Super Bowl drawing 123.7 million.Toyota's Dedra DeLilli said, “The most appealing aspect of this partnership is we have access to 218 million highly diverse, highly engaged fans of the NFL.”MrBeast, YouTube's biggest star, is now making waves as a thought leader in the tech world. A leaked workplace guide by Jimmy Donaldson has caught the attention of Silicon Valley, sparking conversations on leadership, productivity, and intense work expectations.The 36-page guide emphasizes hiring "A-Players" who are obsessive, coachable, and the best in their field.Donaldson expects workers to be laser-focused, demanding radical accountability and a "no excuses" approach to their work.It's been compared to "founder mode," a hands-on management style popular in the tech industry.While some praise its intensity, others criticized it for promoting a grueling work culture.Investor Marc Cohen said, “It feels like it's written by a person rather than a corporation,”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

They highlight the challenge of transitioning from being a craftsperson to a CEO and the importance of building a profitable business model that can operate without the founder's constant involvement. They continue this concept by focusing on the importance of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) in growing a business. Having someone to provide structure and make data-driven decisions can lead to some shocking discoveries and help you identify areas for improvement and optimize your business performance. The conversation concludes with a recap of the DC Mexico event and a call for referrals for future events!

2022 was my third year competing in the Trainual IRONMAN 70.3 Indian Wells – La Quinta, near Palm Springs, California. In the most recent race, I competed on a relay team as one of three teammates instead of doing the entire thing myself.

Ep.#6 [THEME SIX] In order to turn your business into a machine that has sustainable, predictable, and transferable cash flow, you have to get your business out of your brain. I know–easier said than done. Most business owners don’t want to do the same thing twice, let alone sit down for long periods of time documenting their SOPs or writing out step-by-step how-to’s. That’s the problem today’s guest set out to fix. For the last episode of our equity growth miniseries, I speak with Chris Rozio, the founder and CEO of Trainual. Trainual is The Business Playbook–it helps you organize your chaos by systematizing onboarding, training, and knowledge transfer in a way that people will actually like and continue to use. Chris created Trainual to allow business owners to quickly take time out of their day to create, update, or share the playbook that runs their company. The best part–Chris and his team built a training system that wants you to spend less time…training. Chris started Trainual after successfully scaling and exiting his video production company. The idea behind Trainual started because Chris attributed a lot of the success behind his exit to the playbook he had for his business, which most people would argue couldn’t be scaled or sold–a video production company. His playbook allowed any new hire to come in and quickly carry out a successful client assignment, and he was able to show any potential buyer exactly how his company worked. The goal of a business playbook is to help you build a company that gives you the flexibility to reduce your hours, replace your leadership role, or exit the business when and how you please. // WATCH THE INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE: Intentional Growth™ Podcast What You Will Learn What helps business owners turn the repeatable day-to-day tasks of their business into a how-to playbook. How Trainual can help business owners transform their business into a financial asset. How creating processes and procedures will help you exit your role OR ownership. The four sections a company is divided into when it comes to making a playbook. The first steps to creating your business’s playbook. Why you don’t need to know everything about your business when you start with processes–and how you can create the cadence of documenting everything. How to balance taking the time to design the systems versus executing them. How Chris creates his goals and puts them into action. Real-life sto

Jack believes yes, you can have it all, but it has to start with an intentional and thoughtful plan, or else it will not be sustainable.   In a panel discussion of Scaling Up Insights, Bill is joined by panelists Neale Lewis, Stacy Eads, and Judy Guido to discuss the latest advancements in the world of Scaling Up. This discussion details the biggest takeaway from the pandemic is that being vulnerable is okay, how to stop “problem-solving” their team's stress and instead take a step back and get real and vulnerable, and how you can get a job working for Warren Buffet.   Ron Price is the President and Founder of Price Associates, a global leadership performance firm. He is an internationally-recognized business advisor, executive coach, speaker, and author.
