How to Lead Like a Maestro: Dr. Michael Brenner's Framework for Team HarmonyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Dr. Michael Brenner, Founder and CEO of Right Chord Leadership. Dr. Brenner blends his lifelong passion for music with leadership consulting, offering a unique approach that uses musical principles to help leaders and teams perform in harmony. This conversation uncovers the power of rhythm, communication, and collaboration in leadership—and how leaders can apply the CHORDS framework to foster stronger, more effective teams.Merging Music with Leadership MasteryDr. Brenner's dual identity as a professional musician and leadership consultant sets the tone for a refreshingly creative conversation. He discusses how decades of experience playing woodwinds—saxophone, flute, and tin whistle—has shaped his understanding of teamwork and adaptability. Just as a band relies on listening and responding to each other in real time, leaders must foster an environment where communication and respect are non-negotiables.At the heart of Right Chord Leadership is the proprietary CHORDS model: Communication, Harmony, Ownership, Respect, Direction, and Support.

While many organizations invest in tools and strategies, they often overlook the human factors that drive engagement. Through this lens, Dr. Brenner advises leaders to prioritize clear communication, empower team members with ownership, and create a bold but realistic vision. By doing so, leaders can transform a disjointed group into a synchronized, high-impact team.About Dr. Michael BrennerDr. Michael Brenner is the Founder and CEO of Right Chord Leadership, where he helps leaders and teams "find their groove, get in sync, and work in harmony."

In this week's episode of Female Empowered, host Christa Gurka is sharing a story she's never told publicly before - the story of the time she almost sold her business, Pilates in the Grove.This is part one of a two-part series where she'll walk you through the emotional, strategic, and operational journey behind trying to sell the business she built from the ground up. From a modest $2,400 investment in 2008 to a multi-location, seven-figure business, Christa poured everything into building something that could eventually operate — and be sold — without her.After being inspired by a panel of business brokers, Christa started prepping intentionally for a sale: systematizing operations, cleaning up financials, and evaluating business valuation. She even got to the point where she was under contract and this close to finalizing the sale. But at the very last moment, a surprise clause from the buyer's lender brought everything to a screeching halt.This episode is a candid look at what it takes to get a business ready for sale, what Christa learned from the due diligence process, and how she navigated the emotional fallout when the deal didn't go through. What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Christa grew Pilates in the Grove into a sale-ready businessThe operational and financial prep that goes into a potential saleWhy having systems and SOPs is essential — even if you're not planning to sellWhat it felt like to have a deal fall apart last-minuteThe mindset shifts and resilience I had to tap into after the falloutMake sure you're subscribed to the Female Empowered podcast so you don't miss Part 2 next week, where Christa will share what happened after the deal fell through — and what she's doing differently now.Follow Christa on Instagram @ChristaGurkaCheck out past episodes and business resources at www.christagurka.comIf this episode resonates with you, share it with a fellow business owner who's thinking about selling — or simply trying to build a business that doesn't depend on them every minute of the day.

With only $30K earned in his first year and a goal of hitting $200K, Colbe is grinding every day—making thousands of cold calls, hearing “no” after “no,” and still showing up.Chris and Colby dig deep into:Why mindset and morning habits shape your entire businessThe real reason most agents quit early (and how to avoid it)How to power through rejection when you're tempted to give upTactical tips for handling objections and setting appointments on the spotWhy keeping promises to yourself matters more than any scriptHit Chris up: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:
