In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin sit down with Gill Florentino, Principle Owner of Mi Amigo Motors — a Dominican Republic native who watched his brother get murdered as a child, came to the United States on an athletic scholarship, pitched against Hideki Matsui in the Tokyo Dome, spent nearly a decade chasing a pro baseball career across Japan, Mexico, and Panama, recovered from two arm surgeries and a car accident that dislocated his leg, built a career at JP Morgan Chase managing a $100 billion portfolio, and eventually made his way into buy here pay here in 2013.Today, Gill Florentino runs multiple businesses, including a dealership operation and 14 Seasons Cigar Company, has written a book that sold over 10,000 copies in its first few months, and is widely regarded as one of the most process-driven, culture-obsessed operators in the independent dealer space.What You'll Learn:Why Gill refuses to interview a candidate who shows up one minute late — and how he attracts the kind of people who would never do that in the first place, including a Subway sandwich artist in Lubbock making $9 an hour who became one of his best hiresThe five-candidate interview process where every member of the organization spends 15 minutes individually with each applicant — and why the million-dollar question Gill asks reveals more about character than any resume ever willWhy the organization is always more important than any single person in it — and what the rotten apple in a basket of good ones has to do with why one bad hire can destroy a culture faster than you can fix itHow Gill runs what he calls a timeless organization — always hiring, never comfortable, always recruiting at the grocery store, the restaurant, and the subway — even when there are no open seatsWhy Gill does not believe in goals — only processes — and how the same math that got him a Nintendo as a kid is the exact framework he uses to build repeatable sales and collections performance across multiple businessesHow cross-training every position at JP Morgan Chase taught him that the best person for a role is often already inside the organization — and why that principle drives how he builds teams across every business he ownsWhy nobody in his organization will ever be more important than the organization itself — not even Gill — and what that standard looks like when you enforce it from the first phone call of the interview processIf you are an independent dealer who has ever struggled to find good people, keep good people, or build a culture that runs without you — Gill's story is the most complete answer to all three questions in one conversation.Support the businesses that support the podcast:Buckeye Risk Services - Reinsurance and wealth strategies for independent dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/buckeyeBlytz - BHPH payment processing with fast funding and text-to-pay.Ituran GPS - Asset protection and customer management for BHPH and retail dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/ituranFollow & Connect: Website: www.theindependentdealer.com Facebook Group: @independentautogroup Luke Godwin: @lukegodwin Jeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this with a dealer who needs to hear it.

In this episode of the International Risk Podcast, host Dominic Bowen is joined by Simeon de Brouwer, policy advisor at European Digital Rights (EDRi), Europe's largest network of digital rights organisations. Simeon explains the controversial EU proposal known as “Chat Control” and explores what mandatory scanning of private communications could mean for encryption, privacy, security and child protection across Europe.We discuss:What the EU's Chat Control proposal would actually require messaging and hosting platforms to scan for child sexual abuse material and groomingWhy scanning everyone's private communications raises fundamental questions about the presumption of innocence and proportionalityHow client-side scanning could affect end-to-end encryption on services such as WhatsApp and SignalThe risks of false positives, including innocent communications being flagged, accounts being suspended and private material being reviewed by authoritiesWhy mass scanning could create opportunities for “function creep”, allowing surveillance infrastructure introduced for child protection to be expanded to terrorism, organised crime or political dissentWhy encryption is essential not only for ordinary users, but also for journalists, human rights defenders and businessesHow criminals can adapt their behaviour to evade automated detection, potentially leaving the most sophisticated perpetrators beyond the reach of the technologyThe tension between privacy and child safety, and why EDRi argues that the two do not have to be mutually exclusiveWhat alternative approaches could better protect children online, including addressing how platforms enable adults to find and contact young peopleWhere negotiations over Chat Control currently stand, and what could happen as the European Parliament, Council and European Commission continue negotiationsWhy Simeon is concerned about Europe's broader push to simplify digital regulation, and the risk that weakening protections in the name of innovation could ultimately create new security and privacy risksThe International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

What happens when the business you built no longer feels like the business you want to run?In this Sacred Business Calibration, Kelle Sparta coaches a spiritual entrepreneur through the tension between burnout recovery, business positioning, pricing, target markets, and the pressure to keep doing what once worked—even when it no longer feels aligned.The conversation explores a challenge many experienced practitioners eventually face: your business may still function on paper, but internally, you've outgrown it.Kelle explains why selling a $997 group program requires a very different message than selling a $5,000 private engagement, why you need one primary offer and one primary market, and why trying to speak to everyone at once weakens your positioning.They also discuss the difference between following trends and leading from alignment, the dangers of applying generic entrepreneurial advice to spiritual businesses, and how burnout can become a signal that your business model, audience, or message needs to evolve.Kelle shares her own experience of reaching the point where she had said everything she wanted to say to the seeker market, losing momentum, and eventually restructuring her work around professional spiritual practitioners. Instead of discarding years of content, she reorganized existing material, added new elements, and created a business model that restored her energy and enthusiasm.For coaches, healers, facilitators, and spiritual entrepreneurs who feel trapped by a business they've outgrown, this episode offers a practical framework for recognizing misalignment and making a strategic pivot without throwing away everything you've already built.What You'll LearnWhy a $997 offer and a $5,000 offer require different positioningHow to choose a primary offer and target marketWhy trying to sell multiple offers simultaneously can dilute your messageThe “one thing, one market, one lead magnet, one platform” business principleWhy burnout can cause business momentum to declineHow generic entrepreneurial advice can misalign spiritual businessesThe difference between following trends and evolving with your own alignmentWhy practitioners can become trapped in “golden handcuffs” inside their own businessesHow to recognize when your business is running youWhy a meaningful business pivot may take roughly 90 daysHow to restructure existing content instead of starting from zeroWhy spiritual entrepreneurs need business strategies designed for their industryReferences MentionedSpiritual Business BurnoutBusiness PivotingOffer PositioningTarget MarketGroup CoachingPrivate CoachingTaki MooreLead MagnetsLinkedInFacebookInstagramTikTokSpiritual EntrepreneurshipEmbodimentSomatic WorkBurnout RecoveryBusiness AlignmentConscious BusinessSpiritual Awakening1998 Spiritual Awakening2016 Awakening2020 Pandemic AwakeningProfessional Spiritual Practitioner ProgramResources MentionedKelle Spartahttps://kellesparta.comSpirit Guides Schoolhttps://learn.kellesparta.com

In this episode of Business by the Bay, Ajay Saini sits down with Debbi Miranda, Founder of Highview HR, to talk about the HR challenges that small and growing businesses face every day. All the way from hiring and onboarding to compliance, employee retention, performance management, and those difficult conversations that many business owners would rather avoid.With more than 20 years of human resources experience across healthcare, nonprofits, professional services, retail, manufacturing, technology, and other industries, Debbi brings a practical perspective to HR. Her approach is not about handing a business another generic policy manual. It is about understanding the company, its culture, its goals, and then building HR practices that actually work for that organization.One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is that HR compliance begins much earlier than many small business owners realize. Even a company with just one employee can have important employment requirements to address. And as the team grows, additional responsibilities around leave, harassment prevention, hiring practices, workplace policies, compensation, and employee development can quickly become more complicated.Ajay and Debbi also discuss why fractional HR support can make sense for growing businesses that need experienced HR guidance but are not yet ready to hire a full-time HR professional. Debbi explains how companies can get the expertise they need on a project or ongoing basis while creating HR systems tailored to their specific workplace rather than relying on a cookie-cutter approach.When a small business should consider bringing in an HR professionalWhy California HR compliance can become an issue starting with the very first employeeCommon HR mistakes made by growing businessesHow to handle difficult employee conversations more effectivelyHow better hiring and onboarding can improve employee retentionWhy company culture should influence HR policies and processesHow to create fair performance management and promotion processesWhy compensation and benefits are only part of the employee-retention equationWhen fractional or outsourced HR may make more sense than hiring a full-time HR employeeWhy communication and transparency are critical to building a successful teamDebbi also shares an important lesson from working with businesses of all sizes: successful companies tend to communicate clearly with employees about expectations, recognition, mistakes, opportunities, and what is happening within the organization. That transparency can have a major impact on employee trust, workplace culture, and long-term growth.If you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, CEO, or business leader in California trying to hire the right people, retain good employees, reduce employment risk, or simply figure out whether your HR practices are keeping up with your company's growth, this conversation is packed with practical insights.About the GuestDebbi Miranda is the Founder of Highview HR and has more than 20 years of experience in human resources and organizational development. She works with businesses on HR compliance, talent acquisition, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, compensation, leadership development, workplace policies, organizational effectiveness, and fractional HR leadership.Learn more about Highview HR and connect with Debbi at HighviewHR.com.Business by the Bay features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, business leaders, and experts sharing practical ideas to help business owners solve problems, make better decisions, and build stronger companies.This episode covers:

Everything in the after-the-yes arc comes down to one shift, and it is the hardest one a founder makes: moving from being the person who delivers the experience to being the person who designs it. In the finale, Sheena takes on the identity resistance underneath founder dependency — the fear that if you are not the one delivering, it will not be as good, and the question of who you are without that role. She reframes the move from carrying the work to designing it, distinguishing a founder-led business that depends on the founder's presence for its quality from a founder-designed business that carries the founder's standard in its structure. The episode ties the entire arc together, showing how the designed threshold, onboarding, backend, and disciplined value delivery were each acts of moving the experience out of the founder's head and into the business. Sheena closes by reframing delivery beyond the founder as the fullest expression of a founder's standard rather than a loss of it — the thing that makes your standard durable and your business able to become larger than you could carry alone.Key Topics CoveredThe identity shift from delivering to designingWhy founder dependency feels like loss, and how to answer that fearFounder-led versus founder-designed businessesHow the full arc builds toward delivery beyond the founderWhat stepping back actually meansMaking your standard durable rather than fragileKey TakeawaysThe shift is from carrying the work to designing it, not from doing it to abandoning it.A founder-led business has a ceiling, and the ceiling is the founder.Delivery beyond the founder means you stop being the single point of failure, not that you disappear.Building delivery beyond yourself protects the work you care about rather than betraying it.Resources MentionedThe Strategic Discovery Audit — the diagnostic gateway to working with The DeVain CollectiveThe CEO Self-AssessmentBeyond Founder-Led newsletterConnect with The DeVain Collective:LinkedInInstagramWebsite: thedevaincollective.comConnect with Sheena:LinkedInInstagramAbout Beyond Founder-LedBeyond Founder-Led is the podcast for mission-driven founders — primarily women scaling service-based businesses from $500K to $5M — who are ready to move beyond being the bottleneck in every decision.

Does Your Service Business Slow Down Every Summer?You're not alone. Most service-based business owners experience a summer lull — fewer inquiries, slower conversions, and that uncomfortable feeling of watching your calendar empty out while hoping things will pick back up on their own.But here's the truth: crossing your fingers is not a strategy.In this episode of the Diamond Effect Podcast, Maggie Perotin breaks down exactly why your business doesn't have to slow down this summer, and the one tool most service business owners are completely underusing to attract clients, build relationships, and make consistent sales no matter the season.That tool? Email marketing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy service businesses experience a summer lull — and what separates owners who thrive anyway from those who don'tThe "three types of business owners" quiz — which one are you this summer?Why do you already have a goldmine of potential clients sitting in your contacts right nowHow email marketing works even if you're not techy, not a writer, and have never sent a marketing email beforeWhy email marketing delivers the highest ROI of any marketing strategy — and why it works especially well for service businessesHow to use AI to write emails in your voice in minutes (even if English isn't your first language)Why your email list is an asset you OWN — and why that matters more than any social media followingThe mindset shifts that stop most business owners from ever starting (and how to overcome them fast)Key Takeaways:Only 9% of people are ready to buy at any given moment. The other 91% need time, consistency, and trust — and email is how you build all three without relying on an algorithm.You don't need to be techy or a great writer. Your clients don't need elaborate designs or perfectly crafted copy. They need to feel like you understand them. That's it.Your email list is yours forever. Social media platforms can disappear or ban your account overnight. Your email list is a business asset you own and control.Email marketing works for every service business. If your industry isn't using it much — that's an advantage, not a reason to skip it.Busy does not equal productive. If you're too busy to work on strategies that bring in new clients, you're too busy for your business to grow.The Summer Lull Is OptionalThe business owners who struggle every summer are the ones solving the wrong problem: taking courses, tweaking their website, waiting for the economy to shift. Meanwhile, the owners who thrive are the ones doing the work to get visible in front of the clients who are already out there looking for exactly what they offer.Your potential clients aren't all on vacation. They're in your inbox, in your contact list, on your email list — waiting to hear from you.Join Maggie and her clients for Stop the Lull: Build an Email Sequence in Five Days and Make Sales This Summer.

Finding the right people is one of the biggest challenges business owners face today. Hiring is expensive, talent is hard to find, retention is difficult, and many growing companies struggle to build the team they need without overextending their budget.In this episode of Business by the Bay, host Ajay Saini sits down with Mike Birdsall, entrepreneur, advisor, and business builder with DOXA Talent, to discuss how companies can scale through global talent, better operational execution, and a more conscious approach to outsourcing.Mike shares his entrepreneurial journey, from building businesses in website design, sports technology, and subscription boxes to helping companies solve workforce challenges through ethical offshore staffing.

For decades, a dozen eggs was just… a dozen eggs.No story. No real branding. No reason to care who produced them.Then Matt O'Hayer came along and asked a question almost nobody in America was asking: what if store-bought eggs could be different? What if they tasted better, looked better, and came from hens raised in a much more humane way? The business he launched– with 20 hens and some used trailers– is now the number-one pasture-raised egg producer in the US, with a network of 600 farms, and a projected revenue of nearly $1B this year. When he started Vital Farms, Matt was in his 50s, living in an RV on the farm, and trying to convince people to pay premium prices for eggs. Before that, his passion for business drove him to pursue an astonishing range of ideas: carpet-cleaning, a barter-exchange franchise, a stint as a charter-boat captain and broker. One of his businesses left him nearly broke after 9-11, and there were many other hard lessons along the way. This is a story about metabolizing failure into success, and turning one of the most overlooked shelves in the grocery store… into a billion dollar opportunity. What you'll learn: The hard lessons Matt learned from 3 (+) decades of founding businessesHow 9/11 changed his lifeWhat 4 years as a boat captain taught him about leading–and servingHow “conscious capitalism” became the blueprint for Vital FarmsWhy pasture-raised eggs were a branding opportunity hiding in plain sightHow Whole Foods became an early and critical partnerWhy great products grow faster when customers do your work for youTimestamps: 07:48 – “I didn't have 300 dollars.” Matt starts a carpet-cleaning company with no real plan11:31 – The barter business that taught Matt how to scale complex ideas17:58 – Building a travel company, taking it public, and growing it to roughly $50 million in sales22:57 – The morning of 9/11: Matt watches his business collapse in real time25:59 – Starting over, Matt becomes a charter boat captain –plus chef, teacher, and toilet-fixer31:16 – The blog essay that transformed how Matt thought about business34:19 – The lightbulb conversation: pasture-raised eggs could become a real company41:03 – Starting the farm in Austin: “I bought a thousand baby chicks.” 43:58 – The first eggs taste great, but nobody wants to pay for them49:53 – Finally: The first Whole Foods pallet 50:52 – A label mistake gets Vital Farms pulled from shelves1:03:09 – How the egg carton became one of Vital Farms' most powerful branding tools1:08:24 – Why humane eggs cost more—and why Matt believes they shouldThis episode was produced by Kerry Thompson, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Casey Herman.—-----------------Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat this for you.AI is replacing service providers left and right in 2026, and if you're offering one of these five services, you could be next.But before you panic and think this is some doom-and-gloom situation, let me be clear: I'm not here to fear-monger. I'm here to give you a wake-up call so you can pivot NOW instead of getting to the end of 2026 frustrated with your lack of clients, lack of growth, and wondering if you should have even started this business in the first place.After working with over 3,000 service providers, I've seen this shift happening in real time. I've watched podcast managers get replaced. I've seen copywriters who used to charge $20,000 now struggling to land $2,000 clients. I've watched VAs lose their entire roster because clients figured out ChatGPT can do 80% of what they were paying them for.The industry is changing, y'all. And we need to change with it.Here's what we're covering today: the five services getting hit the hardest by AI, real examples of how this is playing out right now, and most importantly, the exact pivot you need to make to stay relevant and charge premium prices.This might sting a little, but I promise I'm giving you a path forward—not just telling you the sky is falling.Topics Covered In This Episode:The shift from execution to strategic thinkingThe specific pivots needed for the 5 at-risk service categoriesReal behind-the-scenes insights from million-dollar businessesHow to add strategy layers for premium pricingWhy this is actually the best opportunity for service providers willing to evolveFind the full post at:  https://brandimowles.com/270Want More Like This? ⬇️

Have you hit that point in the year where you're dragging yourself toward the finish line, promising yourself that you'll rest once this one last thing is done? I know that feeling well. In property management, it can become so normal that we stop questioning it. Busy turns into an identity. Stress feels familiar. And exhaustion quietly becomes the baseline.In this episode I'm having a very real, honest conversation about the mindset shifts that have completely changed the way I work, lead and live. I recorded this episode as I was counting down to a 6 week break, and it felt like the right time to pause and reflect on what's actually been driving my stress, overworking and constant pressure.This isn't about a new strategy, planner or system. It's about the unconscious beliefs that were running the show for me without me even realising it. I share the 5 mindset shifts I made this year that helped me move out of survival mode and into a calmer, more sustainable way of running my business and showing up as a leader. “ The best way I have found to get conscious and have the space to be conscious is by giving myself rest and having a space, and rest isn't the reward. It's a responsibility. If I'm a leader, I set the tone. If I'm exhausted, so is my team. And if I'm running on empty, my clients can certainly feel that as well. So I now prioritise rest, I schedule it into my calendar like I would a meeting.” - Kylie Walker We cover:How I realised I wasn't just busy, I was actually addicted to stress and why that's so common in property managementShifting from reactive property management to building systems and processes that create calmer, more organised businessesHow scarcity thinking shows up as “there's never enough time, money or support” and what changed when I challenged thatHow I released limiting beliefs that were impacting my confidence, leadership and business decisionsWhy rest isn't something I earn once everything is done, but something I'm responsible for as a business owner and leaderHow mindset work supports clearer boundaries, better leadership and sustainable business growthWhat's changed for me since I stopped overworking and started prioritising energy, clarity and long term impactKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:...

This episode helps you slow down, pull your business over to the side of the road, and assess what really happened in 2025 — so you're not building 2026 on assumptions, habits, or outdated models. Looking back isn't about staying stuck.

In this episode of the Business Lunch podcast, Host Roland Frasier and guest Richard Lindner break down the subscription trap and why recurring revenue isn't always the ultimate solution it's made out to be.From the outside, subscription models look like a dream: predictable cash flow, higher valuations, and a business that doesn't start at zero each month. But as Roland and Richard reveal, the reality can be far more complicated.They dive into real stories from their portfolio companies, showing how recurring revenue can backfire through hidden churn, customer support debt, and endless innovation demands. You'll hear how even big players like Netflix constantly battle to keep customers engaged, and why smaller businesses often underestimate the true cost of service.This episode is a must-listen if you're considering shifting to a subscription model—or if you've already launched one and want to make sure it's sustainable.HIGHLIGHTS“Recurring revenue is great… until you're losing more members each month than you know how to gain.”“There's voluntary churn, where people cancel. But the killer is involuntary churn—declined payments, expired cards—that can quietly eat your business alive.”“If you're creating content subscriptions, pair them with community. Access is the real value that keeps people sticking around.”“Don't fall in love with the model. Define your business by who you serve, not just how you charge.”Mentioned in this EpisodeThe difference between breakage vs. consumption models (think Netflix vs. gym memberships)Why AI in customer support is changing the economics of subscription businessesHow to tell if your business should pursue a bolt-on subscription or avoid it altogether
