In entrepreneurship, quitting often carries a negative connotation, however, I believe that quitting can be a powerful tool for success. When done intentionally, quitting can lead to faster growth and propel your business forward.   As business owners, it's crucial to recognize when certain aspects of our business are no longer serving us and are not getting us closer to our goals and life we want to be leading.   During the summer, there's often natural flex that gives us time to slow down, think, and get clear. By slowing down and taking time to intentionally evaluate your business and identify where quitting can serve you, you create space for growth and focus on high-impact activities, propelling your business forward at a faster pace.   In this episode, we dive into the key areas in your business where you can quit to win. By exploring these areas in your own business, you can unlock new opportunities and set yourself up for success in the coming months.   Mentioned in this episode Offer Optimization Scorecard Leave a Podcast Review Subscribe Work/Connect with me: Offer Optimization Scorecard Book a Call   Tune in to start taking your business and life to the next level today and don't forget to subscribe or follow the podcast to make sure you don't miss any future episodes.

Welcome to episode #1053 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Eric Ries is one of the most influential entrepreneurs and management thinkers of the past two decades. Best known as the creator of the Lean Startup movement, his ideas fundamentally changed how founders, innovators, and established organizations build products, test ideas, and bring innovation to market. His work has shaped startups, Fortune 500 companies, governments, and nonprofits around the world, earning him recognition as one of the defining voices on modern entrepreneurship. In his latest book, Incorruptible - Why Good Companies Go Bad... And How Great Companies Stay Great, Eric turns his attention to a much deeper question: why do organizations that begin with strong values and bold missions so often lose their way? Drawing on years of advising founders and studying corporate history, he argues that corruption is rarely about bad people... it's about systems, incentives, governance, and what he calls "financial gravity," the invisible forces that slowly pull organizations away from the very principles that made them successful in the first place. In this conversation, Eric explores why mission-driven companies outperform over the long term, how corporate governance can preserve or destroy an organization's purpose, and why stewardship may be one of business's most undervalued leadership traits. We also discuss the unintended consequences of shareholder primacy, what today's AI revolution can learn from previous waves of technological disruption, and why the future belongs to organizations that are intentionally designed to remain true to their values even as they scale. It's a thoughtful conversation about leadership, innovation, governance, and what it really takes to build companies that endure. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 53:30.

If your calendar has more open slots than it should, the problem probably isn't that not enough people know you exist. It's that the people finding you aren't recognizing themselves in what you're saying. In this episode you'll discover why most business owners are attracting the wrong people with the right message, the three-part strategy that creates alignment with clients who are already looking for what you do, and exactly how to use your metrics to know whether the issue is in your messaging or somewhere else in your sales process entirely.

When something doesn't go the way you expected in your business, what's the first thought that runs through your mind? For most established solopreneurs, a setback immediately feels personal. A verdict on the offer, the strategy, or their own capability. In this episode you'll discover why that instinct is costing you thousands in misdirected pivots, how to use your metrics to find the specific cause of any setback before you change a single thing, and how to turn business frustration into the clearest information your business has ever given you.

AI can analyze your metrics in seconds... But is it actually costing you thousands in sales each month? In this episode you'll learn the four specific ways relying on AI to interpret your business metrics is quietly costing solopreneurs thousands in misdirected effort and wrong pivots, why the gap between data analysis and strategic interpretation is bigger than most people realize, and exactly how to use AI as a powerful tool without outsourcing the part that only you can actually provide.

Build your business like you're going to sell it, even if you have no plans to sell anytime soon. In this episode of Blue Collar Millionaire, Kevin and Chris sit down with an entrepreneur who built and acquired 26 companies before eventually packaging and selling them for $62.5 million. But the road there was anything but easy. After early success, he lost multiple businesses, went through bankruptcy, divorce, and even a period of homelessness. Those failures forced him to learn what actually makes a business survive, scale, and ultimately become valuable to someone other than the owner. They break down why every business owner should think about their exit long before they're ready to leave. Because when burnout, health problems, family changes, or an unexpected opportunity hits, that's the worst time to start figuring out what your company is worth. They also get into the difference between simply growing revenue and truly scaling, why owner-dependent businesses are difficult to sell, how increasing EBITDA can change your valuation, and why acquiring other businesses can sometimes be a faster path to growth than trying to do everything organically. The goal isn't necessarily to sell your business tomorrow. It's to build a company that gives you the choice. In this episode: • Why you should build with an exit in mind from day one • Going from operator to investor • What makes a business attractive to buyers • Why cash flow and EBITDA matter more than revenue alone • Using acquisitions to accelerate growth • Building systems that reduce owner dependence • How price, timing, and terms impact a business sale • Why selling from a position of need kills your leverage • Lessons from building, buying, turning around, and selling businesses If your business relies entirely on you, you are one bad day away from losing everything. Learn how to protect your future by treating your company as an asset meant to be sold. Jason Sisneros joins us to discuss his journey from building and selling 26 companies for $62.5 million to hitting rock bottom with bankruptcy and homelessness. He explains that a strong business valuation is not just about top-line revenue; it is about creating a model that can function without your constant input. We break down why creating a clear exit strategy is the best insurance policy for any entrepreneur. You will learn the difference between growing revenue and actually scaling, how to improve your EBITDA, and why removing owner dependence is the difference between having a job and owning a sellable company. True building wealth requires systems that work even when you are not there.

Jesus told us that when you're praying, if you have anything against someone, you need to forgive them first. He said, "If you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you." Prayer is asking God to do something on your behalf. When you're in business, you need God to move in your business. You need God to bring clients, customers, strategy, and revenue. But when you're asking God for these things while holding unforgiveness in your heart toward your husband or wife, the Bible says your prayers are blocked. So, if you're struggling in your business, check your forgiveness walk with your spouse. Unforgiveness toward your spouse is sinful, and it's not something you should tolerate. Whatever is causing you to hold unforgiveness toward your spouse, you need to forgive if you want to be successful in what God has called you to do. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

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.

Consistent cash months don't come from working harder or finding the next trendy strategy. They come from building a business you can measure. In this episode you'll discover the three essentials that create predictable revenue month after month, why tracking revenue after the fact is one of the most expensive habits in a solopreneur's business, and exactly what to look at in your own numbers to stop the revenue rollercoaster for good.

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?

Why Spiritual business success sometimes feel empty — even when you've achieved the money, growth and impact you thought would finally make you happy? Why Spiritual business success sometimes feel empty — even when you've achieved the money, growth and impact you thought would finally make you happy? 0:00 The Hidden Cost of High Achievement 0:36 A 30-Day Practice for Sustainable Growth 1:49 The Five-Step Path to Emotional Regulation 5:38 Weekly Reflection and Self-Leadership For many high-achieving spiritual entrepreneurs and mission-led leaders, creating more success isn't the problem. The problem is being able to hold, receive and actually enjoy it without overworking, overspending, moving the goalpost or unconsciously creating another problem. In this episode I'm sharing the simple 5-step daily practice I use to uncover and dissolve the unconscious patterns, protective strategies and beliefs that can make success feel unsafe, empty or never enough. Try this practice for the next 30 days to start noticing what's really happening beneath your thoughts, emotions and behaviours — and begin becoming the woman who can receive success without immediately needing to sabotage it, chase more or create chaos. Because sustainable success isn't only about creating more. It's about having the capacity to hold your health, your money, your business and yourself as you expand — and actually enjoy the life you're creating.

The emergence of social media platforms has changed the way brands market themselves and influencers play a major role in this. So how can produce companies leverage influencers to differentiate their products, build brand trust and drive sales?

What does it really take to build a billion-dollar career and have the courage to build something of your own, while raising 3 kids under 4?In this episode of Beyond Common Business Secrets, Tracey Watts Cirino sits down with longtime friend Tori Nook, a powerhouse in commercial real estate who has built an extraordinary career, generated more than $1 billion in real estate sales, and ultimately launched her own company.But this conversation isn't just about real estate.It's about what happens when ambition, resilience, motherhood, money, intuition, and the desire for freedom collide.Tori and Tracey go behind the scenes of what it really takes to build a successful business and a successful life, including the moments when you have to decide whether you're willing to keep playing by someone else's rules.They talk about the lessons Tori learned throughout her career, what finally pushed her to start her own company, the reality of building a business while raising a family, and why women shouldn't wait until they feel completely ready before they ask for more.And then the conversation goes somewhere even deeper:How much of your success comes from what you know and how much comes from trusting what you already know?If you've ever wondered whether you're capable of more, struggled with the pressure to do everything yourself, or questioned what true financial independence and freedom could look like for you, you're going to want to hear this conversation.This is a story about building wealth, betting on yourself, trusting your intuition, and creating success on your own terms.

You're working hard. You're showing up. You're doing “all the things.” So why does consistent business growth still feel so out of reach? In this episode you'll discover three habits that feel completely productive on the surface but are quietly creating the inconsistency, the constant pivoting, and the revenue unpredictability that most established solopreneurs can't seem to shake. Chances are, at least one of them is happening in your business right now.

Eric Dingler believes the biggest thing holding most businesses back isn't marketing, sales, or AI. It's the founder. He has spent nearly 30 years building and leading teams across churches, non-profits, agencies, and businesses, and he's the author of Hire to Grow. His philosophy is simple: businesses don't scale because founders work harder. They scale because leaders build people who can lead without them. Eric has lived what he teaches. For three years, he ran two businesses remotely while traveling the world full-time with his wife and their four teenagers. Today we're talking about how founders stop being the bottleneck, build teams that create freedom, and grow businesses that no longer depend on them.

Spiritual entrepreneurs who achieve goals and still feel empty are not broken! External success cannot fill the void. You have to change the internal first listen this to learn how 00:00 The Lie Behind Your Business Success 1:42 The Roots of Your Vulnerable Parts 2:34 How Protective Parts Sabotage Your Growth 4:58 Breaking the Cycle of Internal Conflict You can you build a successful business, make more money and achieve the goals you wanted — and still not feel happy, free or enough? your unconscious internal operating system is still living in the past. I know because I lived this. My sales increased by 858%. I had my first six-figure year, lived in my dream home, married my dream man and had a sold-out coaching business — yet I felt more miserable than ever. So I did what so many high-achieving women do: I assumed I needed to achieve MORE. But the external success was never the real problem. In this video, I share the unconscious patterns that can make **success feel empty**, including: ✨ Vulnerable younger parts carrying old fear, shame and anxiety ✨ Protective parts that use overworking and achievement to keep you safe ✨ Why different unconscious parts can compete — one pushing you towards success while another sabotages it ✨ Why success may not feel safe, even when consciously you desperately want it ✨ How your past can continue running your business without you realising it If you've ever thought: **“Why am I not happy after achieving my goals?”** **“Why does success never feel like enough?”** **“Why am I successful but still unhappy?”** **“Why does business success feel so empty?”** There is nothing wrong with wanting more. But more external success cannot resolve an internal pattern created in the past. When I began changing my internal operating system, something profound changed: external results stopped having the same power over how I felt. I could experience safety, freedom and enoughness BEFORE the next achievement — and actually enjoy the success I created.

Shareef's incredible journey from professional athlete to business leader is packed with lessons on leadership, personal growth, and making an impact. Reflecting on the Journey Beyond the Court In this milestone episode, Shareef shares how he transitioned from a celebrated NBA career into a dynamic role on the business side of sports. From his time as a player to leading the NBA G League's expansion to 31 teams and its first international team in Mexico City, Shareef reveals how he embraced change and built on his strengths to create a meaningful second act. For leaders and entrepreneurs, Shareef offers valuable insights into the importance of setting a clear vision, leading by example, and building trust within a team. He emphasizes that leadership isn't always about charisma — it's about consistency, care, and a shared commitment to success.

This special conversation is packed with inspiration, and we can't wait for you to listen, again! Enjoy this episode with Shareef Abdur-Rahim… Soundbytes 22:19–23:08 "I think it starts with education, especially when it's young people. We're in an era where young athletes — the name, image, and likeness era, social media era — for so many different reasons there are so many opportunities that are in place for young people. I think it's great. As early as high school, I think that is great for young athletes. You spend so much time, especially at a young age, in your sport. To be able to chronicle that, to be able to share that, to be able to build a presence that you can then leverage to the rest of your life — I think is a great opportunity that young people should have." 26:32–26:55 "One of the great things about sport is that it humbles you naturally. And being a part of the team — you're not going to have much success if you don't have humility, because you understand the necessity of working with other people and how important other people doing well is to your success." Quotes "The power of sport is its ability to bring communities together, regardless of background or beliefs." "Leadership starts with outlining a vision, crafting a plan, and exemplifying the behavior you want to see." "As athletes, we must leverage our experiences to build something meaningful for life beyond the game."

Send us Fan MailIn the latest episode of the Exit Insights Podcast, Darryl Bates-Brownsword is joined by Kevin Harrington to explain the structured process successful business owners use to prepare for exit.Many owners assume exit planning begins when they're ready to sell.The reality?The businesses that achieve the best outcomes follow a proven process years before they ever enter the market.The VORTEX Model provides that roadmap—helping business owners understand where they are today, improve business performance, reduce owner dependence and build a business that's genuinely attractive to future buyers.Listen in as we discuss:

Episode Summary In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog are joined by guest Chutes as they dive deep into the realities of business coaching success, the psychology behind high-performing coaches, and practical frameworks for filling live events, recruiting talent, and building a business you could sell tomorrow (even if you never want to). The duo address why most business owners regret selling their businesses, how to break free from nervous system roadblocks, and the myths of retirement and "following your passion." Packed with street-level tactics and high-level mindset shifts, the episode is a must-listen for any coach wanting to elevate their impact—and their income. Key Topics Covered What Separates Struggling vs. Dominant Coaches Karl Bryan explains that action (not just planning) is what divides the mediocre from the masters 03:33. Struggling coaches obsess over lead generation; winners obsess over creating value, up-leveling their operating system, and honing a world-class deliverable 04:09. Why Most Exiting Owners Have Regret Karl Bryan shares the sobering stat: 73% of owners regret selling their businesses 07:27. The myth of the "big payday" vs. reality—a deal often means less cash, complicated earn-outs, and a shell of your former company 09:21. The right way to exit is building a sellable business, headhunting successors, and prioritizing tight contracts with expert legal help 12:01. Recruiting Top Talent in Any Industry For hard-to-hire trades, don't just post an ad—sell a vision, recruit from outside your market, and lead like a college football recruiter 16:01. The secret is to approach hiring as outreach, not just intake 13:16. Mastering Your Nervous System for Ultimate Performance The biggest blocks are psychological, not tactical—if you're stuck, look at your environment, self-connection, and relationships, not just your to-do list 18:29. Build meaningful connections, manage stress through self-awareness, and focus on root causes rather than just treating symptoms 19:43. The Real Meaning of Retirement & Passion Karl Bryan breaks down why "retirement" is often an illusion that leads to boredom, divorce, or addiction 28:14. Instead, shoot for "semi-retired for life"—keep a handful of clients you love and never truly stop delivering value 32:05. Don't chase passion blindly—excel at what you do, fall in love with service and progress, and your business will love you back 36:14. Karl's No-Excuses Blueprint to Filling an Event in Five Days Pick up the phone like your life depends on it, research new/local businesses, and genuinely care about the value you bring 43:34. Build high-energy connections, focus on helping vs. selling, and don't be afraid of rejection 46:05. Notable Quotes "Struggling coaches focus on what they earn. The best focus on what they learn." — Karl Bryan 06:52 "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." — Karl Bryan 05:01 "High-end buyers buy on identity. Lower-end buyers buy off utility and desire." — Karl Bryan 05:53 "Healing your nervous system isn't about becoming someone new. It's becoming you again." — Karl Bryan 25:05 "'Do what you love' is overrated. It's 'love what you do' and master the process." — Karl Bryan 38:42 "Progress equals happiness." — Rode Dog, show close 58:30 Actionable Takeaways Focus on Value, Not Leads: Obsession with helping and delivering unmatched results outlasts any marketing hack. — Shift your attention to client outcomes and continuously improve your deliverable. Recruit Boldly: Don't wait for great hires to find you. Go out, tell your company's vision, and proactively sell A-players on joining—no matter the industry. Plan for an Exit You May Never Take: Build your business as if you'll sell, but with the strength and systems that let you walk away or stay for life. Address Mindset Before Tactics: If you're "jammed up," investigate your environment, relationships, and sense of self-safety. Connection, not isolation, is the real performance unlock. Ditch the Retirement Myth: Aim for "semi-retirement"—a hands-on, purpose-driven lifestyle with a few high-impact clients, not endless leisure. Love What You Do—Don't Just Chase Passion: Mastery, service, and progress are the foundations of a fulfilling business. Passion follows excellence. Fill Events Fast by Taking Relentless Action: Research every local business. Call with conviction. Focus on getting them in the room to help—not just to sell.

In this episode of Poised for Exit, Amy Wirtz and Andrew Wirtz of Family & Business Success unpack what makes family business succession so complicated and why the biggest challenges often have very little to do with the numbers.Family relationships, ownership, leadership, and expectations around the next generation can all shape whether a transition moves forward smoothly or gets stuck. Amy and Andrew share what they see behind the scenes when families avoid important conversations, make assumptions about who will take over, or struggle to make decisions together.They also share real examples of how family meetings, advisory boards, education, and outside guidance can help bring more clarity and alignment to the process.One of the biggest takeaways is simple: never assume the next generation wants the business. Amy and Andrew explain why those conversations need to happen early, what families should be talking about, and how better planning can help protect both the business and the relationships around it.Connect with Amy Wirtz hereConnect with Andrew Wirtz hereLearn more about Family & Business Success here Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

What happens when the business you built becomes too dependent on you to keep growing?Mark Bradley, Founder and Chairman of LeanScaper and author of the newly released The Landscaper's Operating System: Build a Landscape Company That Runs Without You, joins Dwayne Kerrigan for Part Two of a conversation about one of the most important transitions an entrepreneur can make: moving from being the person who runs everything to becoming the leader who builds a company capable of running without them.Mark draws on decades of experience building, scaling, and evolving businesses to break down the disciplines that separate growth from sustainable scale. He shares why strong systems and processes matter, how a CEO's role must change as the company grows, and why the ability to prioritize, protect your time, and develop capable people becomes increasingly critical at every stage.The conversation also gets into Mark's relentless approach to learning — seeking out experts, asking better questions, openly measuring progress, and refusing to let past success become a reason to stop improving. For Mark, better businesses are built by leaders willing to continuously evolve themselves alongside the organization.That philosophy has shaped each chapter of his career. Mark scaled TBG Landscape from a backyard operation into one of North America's Top 100 landscape contractors before co-founding LMN in 2009, creating the business-management software he wished had existed while running his own company.Today, he is continuing that mission through LeanScaper, helping landscape business owners build stronger operations, better teams, greater profitability, and businesses that no longer rely on the owner to solve every problem.His new book, The Landscaper's Operating System, takes that mission even further, distilling decades of hard-earned lessons into a framework for owners who want to step out of the bottleneck and build a company designed to perform beyond them.If you are trying to scale a business, lead at a higher level, or create something that does not require your constant involvement to succeed, this is a conversation worth revisiting.You can access Mark's book here: https://book.leanscaper.com/Time Stamps:[00:00] Introduction[01:24] Preframing the Landscape Industry[02:15] Creating Software for the Landscape Industry[10:22] Asking for Mentorship and Luck[13:53] Mental Shifts in Transitioning to Software[17:40] Overcoming Personal Overwhelm[19:22] Impact of Personal Goals on Business Success[21:57] Journey to Losing 140lbs[24:05] Advice to Younger Self[29:26] Initiating Landscape Management Network (LMN)[37:13] Keys to Business Success[43:00] Innovating Your Business Model[50:50] The Importance of Being Feedback-Oriented[53:25] The Role of Progress in Success[1:01:45] Scaling from 1M to 30M in Revenue[1:11:36] A Day in the Life of a CEO[1:18:00] Thanks and Connecting with Mark Bradley[1:20:08] Closing Remarks and DisclaimerConnect with Dwayne KerriganFacebookInstagramLinked InWebsiteDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed by guests during The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Dwayne Kerrigan and his affiliates.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology. September 27th in Valley View, Texas! https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/ Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies joins Elvis and Barb to talk all things NOLA LabFest October 15-17th, including the welcome addition to the speaker lineup: martial arts instructor and business coach Jude Grayson. After Jude's keynote at last year's LabFest, the response was strong enough to bring him back for another keynote and a breakout session. The conversation starts with the obvious question: what the heck does a karate instructor know about the dental laboratory industry? As Jude explains, quite a bit. Having practiced martial arts since he was five years old and built a career around teaching, competition, entrepreneurship, and business coaching, Jude draws a surprising number of parallels between martial arts and business. He talks about discipline, competition, confidence, risk, and his “five-year-old board break moment”—the idea that sometimes the ability to succeed is already inside us, and the right coach simply helps unlock it. He also explains how those lessons translate into working with business owners and helping them recognize opportunities they may not see themselves. The conversation then turns toward one of the biggest challenges facing dental laboratories today: knowing when it's time to pivot. With technology, AI, 3D printing, changing doctor workflows, and the evolving DSO landscape continuing to reshape the industry, Jude's NOLA LabFest keynote will focus on how business owners can recognize when change is necessary, decide when to act, and understand the risks that come with being an early adopter. He also shares some great perspective on failure, competition, and why making a bad business decision doesn't necessarily mean you've lost—the real loss comes when you stop competing altogether. Shawn also gives us a look at what else is happening at NOLA LabFest, including education on AI, social media marketing, employee culture, DSOs, and other topics affecting dental laboratories right now. And, of course, there's plenty of the NOLA LabFest fun mixed in, from the masquerade party and distillery tour to the return of Family Feud. It's a conversation about business, leadership, taking risks, and finding ways to keep dental laboratories moving forward—and it all starts with a karate instructor walking into a dental show.Special Guests: Jude Grayson and Shawn Nowak.

In this episode, John continues his conversation with John Ray, diving into how genuine relationship-building — through remembering the small details, sending handwritten notes, and giving without expecting anything back — sets you apart in business. They also discuss the role faith plays in leadership and business, the real definition of success, and how joy differs from happiness. About John Ray: After a successful career in investment banking, investment management, and strategic advisory, John Ray left the corporate world in 2013 to build his own business. It didn't take long to find the gap nobody had prepared him for: he routinely undervalued his own expertise, struggled to set prices that matched the outcomes he delivered, and watched his clients do the exact same thing. He spent the next several years figuring out how to fix it, for himself first, then for the consultants, coaches, attorneys, CPAs, fractional executives, and other expert practitioners who hire him today to gain clarity, confidence, and profitability through positioning, pricing, and value-based business development. That work became his first book, The Generosity Mindset: A Journey to Business Success by Raising Your Confidence, Value, and Prices (2023). His second book is set for release in the first quarter of 2027.
