Business streakers are fast operators who vanish just before they get the project ball across the finish line. These enthusiastic beginners magically disappear at critical times. As a result, customer projects yawn past expected completion dates, and the streaker fails to answer crucial phone calls, emails, text messages, or knocks on the door. Poof! Gone! Nowhere to be found! Then all of a sudden, like an unexpected sand storm, the streaker reappears to frantically bring the project across the finish line with a flurry of issues, mistakes and excuses. If you are a company leader, we encourage you to locate your streakers, and then STOP them before they ruin your company. Retrain them if possible, or remove them. This is why customers detest business streakers. Customers want even-keeled project management that avoids streaky service hampered by problems!Support the show

We are going to flip the tables and talk about customers for one minute. As vendors attempt to provide quality services, questions may arise that need customer input, or direction. The customers can be both invoice-paying customers, or internal associates. Regardless, I have watched many transactions travel through time-wasting, and money-wasting rapids that could have been avoided with expedient, and comprehensive customer feedback. Do you want smooth and timely transactions? Okay, then answer 100% of the questions you are asked, and answer them with punctuality! Quality transactions are usually paid for with the two-sided, customer/vendor coin. Support the show

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it take to turn business chaos into a repeatable formula for success? In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Troy Hazard - global keynote speaker, bestselling author, entrepreneur, TV host, and former Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) - for a wide-ranging conversation on peer networks, business acquisitions, and the mindset shifts that separate good entrepreneurs from great ones. Troy shares the hilarious story of how three bottles of wine at a lunch in Brisbane launched a 15-year journey that took him to the top of EO's global leadership. He breaks down why he deliberately looks for 'unsexy' businesses most investors ignore, why he makes himself redundant as fast as possible after acquiring a company, and why leaving money on the table for the buyer is actually the strategy that creates premium exits. You'll also hear a powerful framework for evaluating distressed businesses - one that starts not with spreadsheets, but with candid conversations over coffee. Plus, Troy and Jeff explore the transformative power of EO, YPO, Vistage, and peer mastermind groups for entrepreneurs who didn't follow the traditional MBA path. Key topics covered: • How EO and YPO create life-changing peer networks for entrepreneurs • Why the best advice comes from people with nothing to gain from you • The 'unsexy business' acquisition strategy that creates outsized returns • How to evaluate a distressed business when the P&L tells you nothing • Why making yourself redundant is the fastest path to a profitable exit • The psychology of selling a business at a premium price • Vulnerability as a leadership superpower • Why confidentiality inside peer groups unlocks radical honesty  Guest: TROY HAZARD Guest YouTube: https://vimeo.com/troyhazard  Guest Business YouTube: Guest Website: https://troyhazard.com/  Guest Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troyhazard/  #entrepreneurship #businessgrowth #TroyHazard #JeffDudan #EO #YPO #businessacquisition #peerlearning #leadershipmindset Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Joey Evans, head of business development, government relations, and transportation technology at TNW Corporation, for a conversation about an industry that quietly keeps Texas - and the rest of America - running. Joey introduces listeners to the world of short-line railroading and explains how TNW's four Texas railroads, located in Gonzales, Dumas, Brownwood, and at the Port of Victoria, serve as the critical first and last mile of freight movement across the state.Joey breaks down how short-line railroads fit into the national transportation network, why one rail car effectively removes four trucks from the highway, and what makes TNW's operation distinctive - including its flagship Dumas facility, which has grown into the largest privately owned rail car storage facility in North America. He also shares how the company built its proprietary technology platform, MyTNW, to give customers real-time visibility into their entire fleet, and how TNW has continued to push innovation in an industry that has historically lagged behind when it comes to technology adoption.The conversation covers TNW's approach to customer relationships, strategic planning, and staying nimble in the face of shifting market conditions and geopolitical uncertainty. Joey also discusses his work as president of the Texas Shortline Railroad Association and the significance of newly passed state legislation that lays the groundwork for dedicated state funding to complement federal infrastructure grants - funding that could accelerate rail upgrades across Texas by years and help the state compete with neighboring states that already have these programs in place.Joey also speaks candidly about his own leadership journey, from starting as a railroad conductor with no college degree to growing into a strategic role, and how mentorship, faith, and a shift away from purely transactional thinking have shaped the leader he is today. He talks about the importance of building a personal brand early in a career, the value of servant leadership, and why asking for help is a sign of courage rather than weakness.For business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders interested in Texas infrastructure, economic growth, logistics, and what it takes to build a service-driven company with deep roots and long-term vision, this episode offers a compelling and eye-opening look at an industry that touches nearly everything - even if most people never think about it.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout TNW Corporation

Today, we're diving into the oddly specific habits that have genuinely made the biggest difference in business growth, confidence, creativity, and income… and spoiler: most of them have nothing to do with “traditional” business strategy. From visualization and embodiment rituals to fake deadlines, manifestation hacks, and NEVER showing my bare nails, we're unpacking the unconventional habits that ACTUALLY made a difference in my business! In this episode, we talk about:Why visualization and meditation completely changed the trajectory of my businessThe surprisingly powerful reason I rarely show my bare nailsHow I use calendar blocking as a manifestation tool for signing clientsThe “daydream conversation” technique that keeps turning into real-life opportunitiesShifting your self-concept by imagining yourself as peers with people you admireWhy taking consumption breaks can massively improve creativity and intuitionThe weird productivity hack of creating fake urgency and internal deadlinesHow paying for things motivates me to actually follow throughUsing other people's feedback to strengthen your intuition instead of override itWhy celebrating results before they happen can completely shift your energy and actionsThis episode is part mindset, part business strategy, part unhinged personal habits… but every single one of these practices has genuinely shaped the way I show up, make decisions, and grow my business.If you love behind-the-scenes conversations, manifestation meets strategy, and hearing the real habits I swear by, you're going to love this one.Listen to Similar Episodes: (TAKE OUT FOR EMAIL) 238.

In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon challenges the pressure to constantly chase the latest strategies, trends, and expert advice. For many entrepreneurs, especially “Accidental CEOs,” growth doesn't stall because of a lack of knowledge, but because they begin to doubt what has already been working in their business.Shauna Lynn breaks down how learning can quietly turn into second-guessing, and why blindly following loud or confident voices often leads to building a business that no longer feels aligned. She introduces a powerful way to filter advice, focusing on principles rather than copying tactics, and explains how to combine proven frameworks with your own real-world experience.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to make strategic decisions that support their strengths, values, and capacity, instead of chasing every new idea that shows up online.If you've been feeling pulled in too many directions, this episode will help you refocus, simplify, and move forward with confidence.Timestamps:(01:50) - (06:30) - Why entrepreneurs start doubting what already works(06:31) - (13:00) - The problem with trends, hacks, and “the only thing that works”(13:01) - (20:50) - The guru effect and why loud advice creates confusion(20:51) - (27:30) - How to filter strategies through your own business(27:31) - (37:20) - Adapting frameworks instead of copying them exactly(37:21) - (49:10) - A practical exercise to refocus on what actually worksResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcast

On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Sean Hamlin, co-founder of VHS Group and Race Haus, to break down how a home services and technology company unexpectedly evolved into one of the most exciting new motorsports experiences in St. Louis.Sean shares how VHS Group began with smart home installations, home theaters, and custom tech builds before expanding into golf simulators—and eventually stumbling into the idea that would become Race Haus after a client requested a custom racing simulator setup.

This is a classic example of putting yourself in the customer shoes. If you want to make customers happy, do your very best to eliminate mysteries. The best place to start is to voluntarily provide information that addresses the questions of why.

Most customers like vendors that employ sales and service personnel who make things happen. There is nothing more frustrating to customers than to watch their orders handled sluggishly. In addition, customers love vendors that can solve problems quickly, efficiently, creatively, and with tenacity. If your customer facing employees lack these inherent qualities, it's probably time to move to Plan B which is a focus on hiring initiators who can lead.Support the show

In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Brad Coleman, Owner and CEO of Safeway Driving, for a conversation that goes far beyond driver's education. Brad shares his remarkable journey from racing professionally in NASCAR to leading one of Texas's most established driving schools, and how that transition became the foundation for a purpose-driven business.Brad talks about how his passion for cars and driver safety first took shape, what he learned competing at the highest levels of motorsports, and how those lessons carried into entrepreneurship, leadership, and business growth.

A jar of homemade deodorant at a Portland farmers market became a multimillion-dollar acquisition by Unilever seven years later, and the woman behind it never had a master plan.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Jaime Schmidt, founder of Schmidt's Naturals, for one of those rare, unfiltered conversations about bootstrapping a consumer brand from a kitchen table with almost no money, no manufacturing experience, and a newborn at home. Jaime's path was not linear or polished. She was a social worker who moved across the country, got inspired by the Portland maker community, and started whipping up natural deodorant while pregnant because she wanted cleaner products and could not afford to buy them. That is where it all began.What makes her story so useful for a first-time founder is how unglamorous the early days really were. Jaime hand-formulated everything using basic pantry ingredients, packed jars in a garage with a small team working off a changing table, and sold them on Etsy and at markets before she had a real website. Getting publicity came not from a PR firm but from sending samples to bloggers and YouTubers who were excited for new things to try. An early Today Show feature brought a flood of orders she was not ready for.Transitioning from employee to founder meant learning wholesale, retail pricing, inventory forecasting, and supply chain on the fly as the brand moved into Whole Foods and beyond. Managing rapid growth brought its own pressure. Scaling rapidly through multiple manufacturing spaces while trying to protect product quality and stay cash-flow stable tested everything she had built.Jaime's advice to women starting over or starting late? Stop talking yourself out of it. Find people who support you. And stop fixating on the end game. Just focus on the next real step in front of you. She did exactly that, and it was enough.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Jaime Schmidt on Building Schmidt's Naturals From Scratch03:16 How Schmidt's Naturals Started at a Kitchen Table06:09 Getting Publicity Through Bloggers, The Today Show, and Early Retail Wins10:39 Bootstrapping Manufacturing and Scaling Into Major Retail Stores13:08 Why Jaime Schmidt Sold Schmidt's Naturals to Unilever17:28 How to Scale a Consumer Brand Without Losing Your Values22:20 Jaime Schmidt on Mentorship, Supermaker, and Investing After Exit26:28 Business Advice for Women Starting Later and Becoming a FounderConnect with Jaime Schmidt:Follow Jaime on InstagramConnect with Jaime on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files: http://foundherfiles.substack.comDon't build your business alone, join the FoundHer Forum to build alongside women just like you: https://www.dearfoundher.com/tourFollow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

The identity shift that comes with having a baby. The fog of early motherhood. Feeling like a failure because you can't keep up. And why comparing yourself to people who aren't in your season of life is keeping you stuck. Because you can be a mum and build a wildly successful business. We'll do it together. Carrie xx

Tried the strategies everyone swears by. And yet… something feels off.In this episode, I'm sharing the popular business advice I consciously chose to reject—and why walking away from it actually helped me build a more aligned, sustainable, and profitable business.Because the real problem isn't a lack of information. It's the pressure to follow advice that was never meant for you in the first place.There's so much noise in the online business space. “Post less, but make it perfect.” “Delegate everything.” “Protect your ideas.” “Follow this exact blueprint.”But what happens when those rules don't fit how you think, create, or lead?This episode is your permission slip to question everything—and to start filtering advice through your own lens instead of blindly following what's labeled as “best practice.”I'm breaking down the exact pieces of advice I rejected, what didn't sit right, and what I chose to do instead.Inside this episode, we cover: Why “quality over quantity” can actually slow your growth in the early stages—and how consistent output builds momentum faster  The truth about visionary leadership and why it's one of the few things you shouldn't delegate  Why sharing your knowledge freely can position you faster than holding everything back  The real limits of delegation—and how to protect your zone of genius without burning out  How to experiment quickly, iterate often, and find strategies that actually work for your business  Why clarity on your personal definition of success matters more than following someone else's formula Your business is not meant to look like anyone else's.And the sooner you stop trying to force strategies that don't align with you, the sooner things start to click.This episode is about stepping into your role as CEO—not just by taking action, but by deciding what advice is actually worth following.Because at the end of the day, your business is a reflection of you. And it's your job to lead it in a way that feels true, sustainable, and yours.If you've been feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, stuck trying to follow someone else's system, or unsure what actually works for you—this episode will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with clarity.Want to get featured in media, build credibility, and grow your visibility—without hiring a PR agency?In my free PR Secrets Masterclass, I walk you through the exact system small business owners use to land press, get into gift guides, and become known in their industry—without connections or expensive retainers.Register here: www.gloriachoupr.com/masterclassJoin the Small Biz PR Facebook Group to get the best PR TipsDM the word “PITCH” to us on Instagram to get a pitching freebie https://www.instagram.com/gloriachoupr Connect with Gloria Chou on LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/gloriaychou

Nicola Buffo and Francine Voit, co-founders of Pistakio, share how they pivoted from pistachio mayo to a sweet pistachio spread one week before their first big grocery pitch, built a loyal following on social media because a college professor forced them to start posting, and turned customer DMs into their best-selling products—including their crunchy spread and date bark.

Emily Jeffords is back on The Create! Podcast and this one is for every artist who is quietly wondering if there is a better way to do this. Emily is a painter, educator, and founder of the Making Art Work program - and she brings a level of honesty to this conversation that is genuinely rare. We talk about what it looks like to be in an "incubation year," the bravery it takes to begin again after you've already mastered something, and why the sale starts long before anyone opens their wallet - it starts when you fall back in love with your own work. She shares the real story behind her commission journey, from charging 5% of what she charges now to intentionally opening just three spots for large-scale work and selling them all. We get into how she structures commissions entirely on her own terms, the nervous system collapse that was her 2021 burnout, and why she chose to scale her business down from seven figures - and has never looked back. This episode is honest, practical, and genuinely grounding. I hope it gives you the permission slip you didn't know you needed. In this episode: What an "incubation year" actually looks like in your creative business The bravery of beginning again after you've already mastered something How Emily structures commissions so she stays creatively in charge Selling older work - three tips for falling back in love with your inventory Why she walked away from a seven-figure business and what she built instead Burnout as a nervous system issue, not a productivity problem The 1% a day mantra inside Making Art Work What profitability really means for artists beyond money Links mentioned: Emily's free 4-day Share Your Work Challenge - starts March 24   Emily's Making Art Work 9-week program  Submit to Create!

A Note from James:Tony Hawk is one of the greatest athletes of all time—but what fascinates me most isn't just the tricks.It's the mindset.Tony didn't just become the best skateboarder in the world. He built an entire ecosystem around what he loved: competitions, companies, tours, sponsorships, and one of the most successful video game franchises ever created.What's interesting is that none of it was planned that way. It came from constant experimentation, falling—literally—and getting back up again.In this episode, Tony talks about the path to excellence, how he handled criticism and failure, the moment he finally landed the legendary 900 trick, and how skateboarding evolved from an underground subculture into a global industry.Episode Description:Tony Hawk didn't just change skateboarding—he helped transform it into a global cultural phenomenon.In this archival conversation, Tony shares the real story behind his career: learning to master fear, surviving the ups and downs of a niche sport, and eventually building a massive business empire around skateboarding.He explains how passion drove him through the lean years when skateboarding almost disappeared, why constant experimentation helped him stay at the top, and how a combination of timing, risk-taking, and creative control led to the success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise.The conversation also explores the legendary moment when he landed the first successful 900, the importance of protecting your brand, and why mastery often comes from relentless curiosity rather than natural talent.What You'll Learn:Why pursuing passion—even during downturns—can create long-term successHow failure and repetition build elite skill in any disciplineWhy protecting your brand and intellectual control matters in businessHow the 900 trick became one of the most iconic moments in sports historyWhy continuous learning and experimentation are essential for staying relevantTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] The Physics of Skateboarding & Learning Through Failure[00:03:12] Introduction[00:03:38] Developing Air Awareness in Skateboarding[00:04:10] The First Time Going Airborne in a Pool[00:05:05] Learning How to Fall Safely[00:06:19] Aging, Risk & Walking Away from Mega Ramps[00:07:17] Skateboarding's Rebellious Origins[00:08:00] Creativity and Individual Style in Skate Culture[00:09:00] Advice for Pursuing Excellence[00:10:00] Learning Every Aspect of an Industry[00:11:35] Skateboarding's Collapse in the Early '90s[00:12:33] Becoming a Professional Skater[00:14:02] Mentorship from Stacy Peralta[00:15:13] Going Broke During Skateboarding's Down Years[00:16:29] Skating Parking Lot Shows for $100 a Day[00:17:31] The X Games and Skateboarding's Comeback[00:18:45] The Video Game That Changed Everything[00:19:31] When Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Became “The Game”[00:20:24] Lessons from Skateboarding Applied to Business[00:21:17] A Failed High-End Denim Business[00:22:43] Being Called a Sellout[00:24:00] Protecting Your Brand and Reputation[00:25:13] Creating Tony Hawk's Pro Skater[00:26:20] Designing the Game Mechanics[00:27:20] The Long Road to the 900[00:29:35] Landing the 900 at the X Games[00:31:08] Becoming Tony Hawk Inc.[00:32:21] The Importance of Total Immersion[00:33:29] Designing the Downward Spiral Ramp[00:35:24] Advice for Raising a Passionate Kid[00:38:12] Business Advice from Tony Hawk's Sister[00:40:29] Working with Family[00:43:04] Why Some Athletes Fade After Success[00:44:28] Clearing Up the 900 Controversy[00:48:00] The Hoverboard PrankAdditional Resources:Official Tony HawkTony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4Bones Brigade: An AutobiographyRiley Hawk on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
