Ryan sits down with keynote speaker and author Andy Storch to talk about why your personal brand matters way more than your company brand—especially if you're trying to land corporate work. They dive into LinkedIn strategy for video business owners, why being relatable beats being perfect, and how Andy and Mike Kim collaborated on their latest book. Plus, you'll hear Ryan's hilarious story about filming a wedding for a software guy who married a stripper (spoiler: it didn't last). Key Takeaways Personal brand over company brand: People follow people, not companies—especially on LinkedIn. Share your story, your behind-the-scenes, your personality, not just portfolio pieces. Relationships trump perfection: Clients often hire based on how you make them feel and how easy you are to work with, not just because you have the best reel. The corporate shift is more profitable: Moving from weddings to corporate work means better margins, repeat clients, and getting your weekends back. AI makes your humanity more valuable: As technology handles more tasks, your storytelling ability, curiosity, empathy, and personality become your biggest differentiators. About Andy Storch Andy Storch is a keynote speaker, connector, podcaster, and author of two books, including Own Your Career Own Your Life and his latest book, Own Your Brand, Own Your Career with Mike Kim.  Andy works with organizations to teach and inspire professionals to own their brands and careers to achieve more success in the future. He'a also the host of two podcasts, including the Talent Development Hot Seat and Own Your Career show.  Finally, Andy is a husband, father, cancer survivor, and expat, who is on a mission to get the absolute most out of life and inspire others to do the same.  In This Episode [00:00] Welcome to the show!

If I see any company posts on LinkedIn, I barely notice and I scroll on by. I follow people." - Andy Storch "The thing I'm going to remember the most, it's how people make you feel." - Ryan Koral "People have brands as well. We all have a personal brand. It's essentially our reputation. It's what people think about us, what people say about us. So we might as well be intentional with that." - Andy Storch "If you're gonna choose one, I would choose the personal brand every time." - Andy Storch Guest Links Connect with Andy Storch on LinkedIn  Follow Andy Storch on Instagram

In this episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I'm joined by my favorite nutrition coach, Steven Brenna, to break down the five most annoying—and avoidable—things that drive both nutrition coaches and clients crazy.If you're currently in a nutrition coaching program, thinking about hiring a coach, or you are a coach yourself, this conversation will save you time and frustration. These are the mistakes we see over and over again because, as the saying goes, we know a few things because we've seen a few things.This episode is about setting better expectations, improving communication, and getting more out of the nutrition process—without the nonsense.-Red Dot Fitness Train Online: http://rdftrainonline.com/FFA Program:  https://reddotfitness.net/fitforactionRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1(NEW) Iron Sights Podcast Website:ironsightspodcasts.comTimestamps:00:00 Intro02:21 Coaching Frustrations03:09 Setting Expectations10:14 Why Tracking Matters29:01 Blame Game (Age & Hormones)35:20 Comparison Trap37:20 Diet Trends & Consistency45:30 Training Vs.

Why Successful Interior Designers Choose a Word for the Year: How Interior Design Firm Owners Use Focus, Clarity, and Authority to Lead Better Businesses As an interior design firm owner, clarity and confidence matter more than motivation. In this episode of Design Business Freedom, Melissa Galt, interior designer, firm principal, and business coach with 3 decades of experience, explains why choosing a word for the year is not a mindset exercise, but a powerful leadership tool for interior designers running real businesses. When designers reach the principal seat, they're no longer just designing, they're leading teams, setting boundaries, pricing services, managing growth, and making decisions that affect revenue, culture, and capacity. Motivation isn't the problem. Focus is. A single, intentional word creates a stabilizing center for leadership. It reduces decision fatigue, strengthens boundaries, and helps interior designers respond with clarity instead of reacting under pressure. In this episode, Melissa walks through how your word becomes a filter for: (2:51) Emotional regulation and energy protection (7:37) Client decisions and scope boundaries (8:19) Pricing confidence and profitability (9:15) Leadership presence with your team (11:54) Long-term clarity as your firm grows This conversation is especially valuable for established interior designers and design firm principals generating more than $200K+ annually who are navigating complexity, responsibility, and the invisible weight of leadership. You don't need more goals. You need a clearer way to lead. Choose the word that reflects the designer - and the leader - you are becoming, and allow it to guide your decisions with steadiness, confidence, and far less resistance.

Most health coaches believe that growing a successful practice means constantly posting on social media, chasing algorithms, and staying "visible" every day.   But the truth is, the most stable and scalable coaching practices aren't built on content volume, they're built on systems.   In this episode, we break down how to create a simple, predictable client pipeline that works for you even if you haven't mastered social media posting.   You'll learn why social media is an optional amplifier, not a requirement, and how to shift from attention-based marketing to relationship-based growth.   We walk through the core pillars of a sustainable client pipeline:  • A clear outcome-driven offer that speaks directly to one ideal client  • A small number of proven entry points that consistently bring in warm leads  • A simple conversion process that turns conversations into long-term clients   If you want to stop feeling like you're "behind" because you're not posting daily, and instead build a practice that fills through clarity, credibility, and connection this episode gives you the exact mindset and framework to do it.   Tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 420 to find out how to fill your practice without living on social media - enjoy the show and let us know what you thought!     - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/420   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

Low AMH and "diminished ovarian reserve" can feel like a fertility dead end, but they're not the full story. In this episode, you'll learn what those numbers actually mean, how much they really say about your chances of getting pregnant (naturally or with treatment), and the most powerful levers you still have control over so you can move forward feeling informed, hopeful, and in the driver's seat of your journey. Episode Highlights: Why "low ovarian reserve" is often misunderstood, and what your egg numbers actually look like across your reproductive lifespan, without the fear‑based spin. The real role of AMH: how it was designed to be used in fertility medicine, what it can and can't tell you about your ability to conceive, and why it's not the final verdict on your fertility. Myth‑busting low AMH: how some people still conceive naturally with low numbers, and which key factors matter just as much (if not more) than that single lab result. Your path forward: how to think through natural conception vs IVF/IUI when you have low reserve, and why there isn't one "right" choice, only the right strategy for you. Science‑backed strategies to support egg and sperm health when every cycle counts, including often‑overlooked lifestyle levers that can shift the odds in your favor.

The recent acquisition of Small Biz Thoughts and IT Service Provider University by MSP Radio marks a significant shift in the landscape of resources available to Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This acquisition aims to ensure the continued stewardship of valuable intellectual property, including books and community resources, while allowing founder Karl Palachuk to refocus on his original goals of writing, speaking, and traveling. The deal emphasizes the importance of maintaining community engagement and enhancing the value of existing assets for the benefit of MSPs.Karl Palachuk discussed the filters he applied when selecting a buyer, prioritizing compatibility and the potential for growth within the community. He expressed a desire for the new ownership to actively utilize the acquired assets to foster a thriving environment rather than allowing them to stagnate. The conversation highlighted the importance of community in the tech industry, where collaboration and shared knowledge have historically driven success.In addition to the acquisition, the episode touched on the evolving role of AI in the MSP sector. Palachuk noted that while AI is set to enhance productivity, it will also necessitate a shift in the skills required for technicians and service providers. The discussion underscored the need for MSPs to adapt to these changes, as the industry faces a wave of mergers and acquisitions that could reshape service delivery models.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications of these developments are clear. The acquisition represents an opportunity to access a wealth of resources and knowledge while navigating the challenges posed by AI and market consolidation. Engaging with the Small Biz Thoughts community can provide valuable insights and support as MSPs work to enhance their service offerings and adapt to the changing landscape of technology and client needs.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog kick off the new year by diving deep into the psychology of compounding success, handling client loss, building an irresistible brand, and the surprising power of stopping your worst habits before adding new ones. Packed with frameworks, mindsets, and strategies for scaling coaching businesses, this conversation sets a foundation for meaningful, profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Compounding Karl Bryan explains how real progress in both business and personal growth follows a compounding curve—boring and slow for most of the journey, before results skyrocket. He compares doubling a penny every day to the patient grind of building new habits, networking, and acquiring skills. Managing Client Loss & Turning Pain into Fuel Drawing from personal experience, Karl reframes lost clients as vital awakenings for a coach's development, not failures. He likens the evolution to relationships, urging coaches to "build into someone no client would want to leave," reject desperation, and approach setbacks as chances to upgrade purpose and mastery. Status, Energy, and Luxury Branding in Coaching Karl discusses how "vibe" and energy—like a seasoned waiter in a top restaurant—create attraction and authority in client relationships. Coaches who hold themselves with confidence (not arrogance) and employ purposeful energy are respected, sought after, and able to retain clients long-term. Exclusivity, Scarcity & Storytelling Luxury brands like Gucci and Ferrari don't just charge more—they mean more. Karl reveals how controlled scarcity, storytelling, and identity shift the coaching value proposition from transactional to transformational. Rather than being "liked by everyone," coaches and clients win by being respected and building a brand people want to join. Zen Master Insights for Happiness & Productivity Karl shares Arthur Brooks' 4 rules for happiness and adds his own: "learning." He warns about the "death loop" of social media comparison, the dangers of technical work without meaning, and the need for deeper faith, family, genuine friendships, and personal growth. The Power of Eliminating Worst Habits First Instead of piling on new habits, Karl encourages coaches to ruthlessly cut out the most sabotaging activities—doom scrolling, excessive TV, video games, etc.—and channel freed-up energy into productive tasks. Focus is achieved more through removing distractions than forcing attention. Notable Quotes "The problem with compounding is it's not till day 25 that there's any excitement. The numbers are tiny and lame till everything takes off." "[When you lose a client], it's not the time to cry in your Cheerios—It's an awakening more than anything else." "Neediness is your enemy. Walk in like you own the place, not like you want to buy it." "Luxury branding isn't about charging more—it's about meaning more." "Focus is eliminating distractions more than it is focusing. No is a decision, yes is a responsibility." "Comparison is the thief of joy. Social media... is a death loop for happiness." Actionable Takeaways Play the Long Game With Compounding: Stick with new disciplines far past the "boring" stage; results will spike after consistency and patience. Transform Setbacks Into Upgrades: When clients leave, treat it as a wake-up call to elevate skills, boundaries, and purpose—don't focus on loss, focus on mastery. Embodied Confidence Wins Clients: Present yourself with purposeful energy and professional vibe—confidence, not arrogance, is magnetic to prospects. Engineer Scarcity & Story: Position your coaching as exclusive; tell a bigger brand story that clients aspire to join. Scarcity creates clarity and demand. Eliminate (Not Add) For Focus: List your worst habits and cut one immediately. Use freed-up time for learning, networking, or strategic work. Protect Your Mindset: Consciously avoid social media comparison and schedule time for real relationships, faith, and continual self-education.

This is one of those talks you'll want to come back to again and again when things get hard and they will as a business owner. It's what you signed up for and everyday you head says to quit but your heart keeps you in the game, you demonstrate that necessary courage that entrepreneurship demands. This is a special episode where Erin shared her State of The Union to our IFCA students and we wanted to share it with our community here!   Time Stamps:   (2:00) No One Understands The Entrepreneur But Entrepreneurs (3:20) Why Most Coaches Quit (5:38) Your Stuck Because You Return To The Same Patterns (11:24) Your Nervous System Doesn't Care About Your Goals (16:38) Self-Awareness (19:30) Results Take Longer Than Your Expect (21:30) The Real Definition of Courage (25:33) Borrowing Beliefs (29:25) Stacking Evidence (30:50) Full Identity Crisis (32:42) Fear Means Lean In (38:35) What Landed In This Talk? ----------

Financial planning is built on assumptions — about markets, inflation, longevity, human behaviour, and even the questions clients bring into the room. In this episode, Ben and Braden welcome a diverse panel that originally came together at the FP Canada Conference to explore how those assumptions influence planning outcomes in practice. Joining them are Adam Chapman, a retirement-focused planner who helps clients turn their money into memories; Joe Nunes, an actuary with decades of pension and longevity experience; and Aaron Theilade, Director of Continuing Education at FP Canada. Together, the panel unpacks how to make assumptions credible, how to stress-test them, how to navigate client bias, and how planners can blend math with humanity to create better client outcomes. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:04) Why this episode: recreating a conference panel on planning assumptions. (0:01:03) Braden on the panel's value for planners and DIY investors. (0:02:32) Meet the guests: Adam, Joe, Aaron, and Braden. (0:06:04) Assumptions matter: directional accuracy > prediction. (0:07:47) Actuarial view: start with inflation, bond yields, and risk capacity. (0:09:38) Engineering mindset: plan for expected and unexpected outcomes. (0:13:21) Client pushback: longevity surprises and hidden assumptions. (0:16:59) Asset allocation: strategic, goal-based, informed by behaviour. (0:20:57) Software limits: life is too variable for perfect modeling. (0:22:01) Behaviour gap: retirees spend less over time despite inflation. (0:25:18) Software guides; planners interpret and humanize outputs. (0:28:48) Use assumptions based on the specific question (e.g., withdrawals). (0:30:31) Always ask: "Why are we modeling this?" (0:34:15) Handling bias: reframe assumptions to reveal inconsistencies. (0:38:19) Assumptions evolve: returns, spending, and research all change. (0:42:38) Longevity beliefs: explore "why," not just the data. (0:50:38) Core truth: every plan is wrong — planning is iterative. (0:52:20) When to update: depends on age, goals, and material changes. (0:57:23) PWL approach: twice-yearly updates + adjustments during extremes. (1:00:03) Tips: focus on behaviour, communication, goals, and integration. (1:10:02) Success: relationships, impact, freedom, and sharing knowledge.

When our kids melt down, snap back, or seem resistant, it's easy to think, "This is bad. I need to make this stop." But when we see our child's behavior as a threat, our nervous system gets pulled into the struggle too, and everyone stays stuck longer. The real shift that shortens hard moments doesn't come from controlling behavior. It comes from changing the meaning we give it. In this episode, you'll hear: Why your child's negativity or resistance is a sign of discomfort, not defiance How the story you tell yourself about your child's behavior determines whether situations escalate or resolve What you need in order to help kids' behavior improve more quickly --  Free resources to support you as you're raising children with big emotions Work with Rachel

This week on the Play It Brave podcast, I'm doing something a little different — I'm bringing you behind the scenes for a real coaching session with one of my favorite photographers (and one of my trusted second shooters), Jasmine Ortiz. This episode is for every photographer who has ever thought: "I know my work is good… so why do I get weird and wobbly the second it's time to talk about pricing?" Because that moment — where you're ready to raise your rates, step into a higher tier of client, and be paid like the artist you actually are — requires more than updating a number on a proposal. It requires an identity shift. In this conversation, Jasmine shares what's been happening as she raises her prices: how her old sales call script worked at a lower price point, but suddenly feels stiff, robotic, and way too logistics-heavy for the clients she wants to book now. And from there, I walk her through the exact framework I teach inside my one-to-one coaching and masterminds — the same structure that's helped photographers go from booking $3–6K weddings to booking $8K, $10K, $20K, even $30K. Because at the luxury and intro-luxury level, clients aren't choosing you because you're "easygoing" and "go with the flow." They're choosing you because you feel like a leader. A director. An artist with presence, taste, and a clear process. And the best part? You can learn that. You can practice that. You can embody that. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many photographers unintentionally dilute their authority by trying to be the couple's "bestie" How luxury clients want warmth, yes — but they also want clarity, confidence, and precision The difference between "participating" in the call vs. leading the call How to ask better questions than "So what's your vision?" Why selling at a higher level means selling an experience and a feeling, not hours and deliverables How to keep the first call exciting (and not turn it into a timeline-planning meeting) What to say instead of "We can totally do whatever you want" (because… no. Not if you're positioning luxury) The 7 shifts I gave Jasmine (you can steal these too): Before we recorded, Jasmine sent me a transcript of a real sales call — and once I read it, I found seven immediate tweaks that would completely change her conversions at a higher price point. Here they are: Stop being overly casual. Warm is good. Too familiar is not. Luxury requires a calm, grounded presence. Don't let the couple dictate the call. They don't want to run the show — they want to hire someone who can. Step into the identity of the director. You're not auditioning to be chosen. You're guiding them through a curated experience. Remove all "wishy-washy" language. "Whatever you want!" is not elegance. Recommendations are. Mirror their exact words back to them. This is huge. If you don't repeat their emotional buying criteria, they won't feel seen. Hold the space as an expert guide. Don't match chaos. Don't match overwhelm. You hold the calm. Stay professional while still being warm. Approachable, yes. Chatty friend energy, no. If you're in the season of raising your rates, hear me when I say: you don't just raise your prices — you raise your presence. You shift your language. You shift your leadership. You shift your identity. Because luxury clients aren't buying your packages. They're buying you.

What if the reason your podcast isn't converting has nothing to do with consistency, downloads, or your CTA… and everything to do with belief?In today's episode, I'm interviewing my client, Patricia Ortega, host of the Uncommon Career Podcast, and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what changed when her podcast stopped feeling heavy, awkward, and salesy — and started generating consistent sales calls.Patricia didn't need more tactics. She didn't need another social media strategy or a new funnel. What she needed was clarity — in her messaging, her structure, and the belief journey she was guiding her listeners through.In this conversation, you'll hear:Why “just get on the mic and talk” is not a strategyHow structure unlocks creativity instead of stifling itThe mindset shift that made selling feel like service instead of sleazeWhy a podcast can become your primary lead generator when social media feels soul-suckingWhat changes when your episodes stop being fluffy and start being intentionalYou'll also hear Patricia share what she can't unsee now that she understands how belief-based podcasting works — and why her show finally feels fun, aligned, and effective again.If you've ever thought:“I don't want to sound salesy”“My podcast is good, but it's not converting”“I don't want to depend on social media to get clients”…this episode will hit home.Listen not just for what's said, but for how belief, structure, and authority are modeled throughout the conversation. Patricia is a pro guest!Patricia's LI

Hope is not a strategy. And "like" belongs on Facebook, not in your goal plan. Welcome, Pivoter. The calendar has flipped and the year is officially underway. While most people are already drifting away from resolutions they made in a rush, this episode is about doing something different. In this episode of PivotMe, April walks you through how to define your 4 Rocks for 2026 — the four non-negotiable outcomes that will determine whether next December feels like a victory lap or another year that "flew by." These are not wish-list goals. Not "someday" ideas. They are the pillars that, if accomplished, make everything else easier — or unnecessary. Key Takeaways Failures are data points, not identity Missed goals are feedback. Outcomes don't define who you are — they refine how you move forward. Alignment beats ambition Sometimes goals aren't missed — they're outgrown. Growth changes priorities, and that's evolution, not failure. Big Rocks don't shout — they whisper The loudest things in your life are rarely the most important. Your inbox is louder than your health. Clients are louder than family. Your 4 Rocks live in what quietly matters most. What makes a true Big Rock A real Rock is an outcome that carries weight — one that reshapes everything around it. These are pillars, not tasks. How high performers actually execute Schedule the commitment Make it visible Identify friction early Review monthly Celebrate momentum, not perfection Sustained motion beats flawless execution every time. Write this at the top of a page: "My 4 Rocks for 2026." List only four. Say them out loud. Say them like a promise. You're not hoping. You're deciding. Stop negotiating with your non-negotiables. Want help identifying, refining, and executing your 4 Rocks?

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel constantly worried about shrinking organic visibility, heavier ad pressure, and constant change? Running an agency has never been a straight line. Platforms change, algorithms shift, and what worked five years ago can quietly stop working overnight. Organic visibility is shrinking, ads are getting more expensive, and uncertainty feels constant. Today's featured guest knows that reality and will share her journey from agency employee to founder of a 43-person local SEO agency, along with her honest perspective on Google, AI, remote teams, and why growing bigger can actually create more freedom and impact when done for the right reasons. Joy Hawkins is the founder and owner of Sterling Sky, a specialized local SEO agency focused on helping businesses rank on Google Maps and local search results. She has been working in the SEO industry since 2006 and is widely known for her deep understanding of how Google's algorithm works, especially in local search. Sterling Sky is a fully remote agency with team members spread across Canada and the United States. What started as a small consulting experiment has grown into a 43-person team over eight years. In this episode, we'll discuss: Google, AI, and the future of local SEO Why SEO agencies must diversify to survive Building a fully remote team.

From Agency Employee to Founder of a Local SEO Agency After more than a decade inside agencies, Joy realized she was more interested in how systems worked than in selling them. When disagreements about services and sales responsibilities reached a breaking point, she decided to try consulting (fully prepared to dip into savings and return to a job if needed). Clients came faster than expected. Eight years later, that experiment has grown into a 43-person remote agency. Google, AI, and the Future of Local SEO One of the biggest challenges Joy sees in the industry right now is the pace of change inside Google's ecosystem. Features are constantly being swapped out, organic real estate is shrinking, and small businesses are feeling the impact more than ever. While agencies can usually adapt, clients often struggle because Google still represents such a large percentage of their lead flow. A major concern Joy sees is how Google is pushing more ads and limiting organic exposure, especially in local results. On mobile devices, users are now seeing local service ads dominate the top of the screen, followed by AI-driven local results that are shrinking from three listings down to one in some cases. For businesses that used to rely on being second or third in the map pack, this shift can mean a dramatic drop in calls almost overnight. Despite the fear around AI, Joy does not believe Google is going anywhere. As she points out, Google's real advantage is data. Reviews, location history, calls, visits, and behavior all live inside Google Maps. That depth of information is something other platforms struggle to match. Local SEO is still viable, but it is no longer free traffic in the way many business owners became used to. The bigger lesson is not about Google itself, but about dependency. When an agency or a business relies too heavily on one channel, any change can feel catastrophic. The agencies that struggle the most right now tend to be those built around rigid, cookie-cutter systems that cannot flex with the landscape. Why SEO Agencies Must Diversify to Survive Agency owners who want time to adapt should keep in mind it's always better to have an outbound strategy, an inbound strategy, and partnerships that you can rely on. If all your business comes from one channel and that channel changes, you are forced into reaction mode. The opportunity here is for agencies to guide clients toward broader strategies. That might include paid ads, partnerships, or even old school tactics like direct mail and local sponsorships. The exact tactic matters less than the mindset. Businesses need multiple levers to pull so they are not held hostage by one platform's decisions. For instance, right now everyone's scrambling to adopt AI in their processes, services, and more. But you should also try to understand the economics behind AI and advertising. The massive data centers, energy consumption, and infrastructure costs mean that today's low prices will not last forever. Platforms are investing heavily now with the expectation that monetization will follow. For agency owners, this reinforces the importance of pricing correctly, setting expectations with clients, and building offers that account for rising costs and shrinking organic margins. Building a Fully Remote Agency Joy's agency started more as a practical decision than a remote-first experiment. After years of working from home she saw no reason to take on the overhead of an office. The cost savings mattered early on, but the flexibility mattered even more. Without a commute, Joy could better balance work and family life. That same benefit extended to her team. Many of her early hires were former coworkers from an agency that later shut down, people she already trusted and respected. Since they were geographically spread out, an office would have created unnecessary friction. Expanding into the United States was also a strategic move. Joy wanted access to a larger talent pool so she could be extremely selective about who she hired. Being remote made it possible to hire people who were already passionate about local SEO instead of settling for whoever happened to live nearby. Culture, Connection, and Team Building at Scale One of the risks of running a remote agency is losing human connection. Joy is very intentional about avoiding that. While informal meetups happen more often in Canada, the entire team gets together once a year for an in person retreat. The goal of these retreats is mostly relationship building. Joy genuinely likes the people she works with and considers many of them friends. She believes that strong relationships create trust, better communication, and a healthier work environment overall. Joy sees firsthand how flexible work, reasonable boundaries, and a supportive environment can be life changing for employees who came from toxic workplaces. That impact has become a meaningful part of why she continues to grow the agency. Why Scaling the Agency Became a Mission When she first started her agency, Joy wanted a small team. Ten people or fewer. Highly experienced. Minimal management. That vision changed a few years in, and the reason surprised her. Around two years in, her agency began supporting a charity in Uganda, and the more she built that relationship, the more Joy saw how far a single dollar could stretch there compared to North America. Visiting in person made the impact real. She realized that by growing the agency, she could dramatically increase the good they could do through that partnership. The same realization applied to her team. As the agency grew, Joy saw how stable, flexible work improved her employees' lives. That sense of responsibility and opportunity shifted her perspective as she figured out her purpose. Now growth was no longer about ego or scale for its own sake. It became a way to create more impact both inside and outside the business. Leadership, Delegation, and Hiring for Your Weaknesses Agency owners who wish to keep their businesses small are often thinking about the nightmare that running a big agency can be. They imagine that the headaches they deal with at ten employees will just double if the team doubles. However, this was never the case for Joy. When she thinks about overworking she thinks about her time working for others. This is probably because Joy has always been very clear about what she does not enjoy. Accounting, taxes, and people management are high on the list, and instead of forcing herself to become good at everything, she hired people who genuinely enjoy those areas. A strong accountant removed massive mental load early on and hiring leadership team members who thrive on managing people allowed Joy to focus on strategy and innovation. She believes this is one of the biggest unlocks for agency owners who feel trapped. Delegation is not about offloading busywork. It is about trusting capable people to own outcomes. Joy prefers hiring experienced professionals over entry level talent because she does not want to micromanage. Her expectations are high, but so is her respect for her team's autonomy.

What happens when your business grows faster than your systems—and regulations force you to rebuild everything? In this conversation, Marie and Justin Plummer of Winston-Salem Dogcare share how North Carolina's Animal Welfare rules pushed them from "in-home" into a fully regulated, facility-based setup and what that required financially and operationally. We talk about the mindset shift from feeling like problems are "happening to you" to showing up as a prepared problem solver. They unpack how staff surveys revealed unseen disconnects, and how professional development became a retention tool once the team began treating pet care as a long-term career. Finally, we dig into preserving client connection at scale—using boundaries, a flexible "gray area," and a reminder that your software is just a tool, not the heart of your business. Main topics: Scaling through state regulations Leadership as problem-solving Staff surveys reveal gaps Defining the "gray area" Client connection at scale Main takeaway: "We agreed on what our gray was." — Marie Plummer That's the difference between having boundaries and actually being able to live with them when real life hits. Most of us try to draw one hard line for every situation—then we either break it, feel guilty, or become rigid and resentful. Defining the gray means you and your leadership team decide, ahead of time, where flexibility is allowed and what factors make it bigger or smaller (staffing levels, capacity, season, client history, real emergencies). It protects your standards and your sanity, because you're not negotiating from scratch every time something comes up. The goal isn't to be soft or strict—the goal is to be consistent, human, and sustainable. About our guests: Marie and Justin Plummer are the owners of Winston-Salem Dogcare in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Since launching in 2017, they've grown from in-home services into a highly regulated daycare/boarding and in-home care operation, adapting quickly to state and local requirements. They lead a large team while homeschooling their three children, balancing business growth with family priorities. Their approach emphasizes people-first leadership, strong client communication, and building a business that can run well beyond the owners.

In this episode I had a powerful conversation with Dr. Andrew Hartz, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Open Therapy Institute.

Many clients feel alienated due to perceived political or ideological leanings of their therapists, often unintentionally communicated through things like pronoun usage or assumptions about worldview. Most therapists lean left politically, which can lead to clients self-censoring, feeling misunderstood, or avoiding therapy altogether. The Open Therapy Institute (OTI) was created to support therapists who want to offer politically neutral, values-attuned therapy and serve populations that feel underserved, especially those with conservative or centrist views. Therapists can grow their practice by learning to work effectively with clients from across the political spectrum. There is high demand and low supply of therapists trained to do this well. We discussed the importance of dialectical thinking. This means helping clients (and ourselves) hold multiple perspectives and tolerate ambiguity, especially around politics, religion, and identity.
