What if the real key to scaling your business isn't strategy or capital, but empathy? That's the belief driving today's guest, David Steele. With a career spanning finance, hospitality, and the arts, David is the Founder and CEO of One Wealth Advisors, Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group, and Managing Partner at Great Gold Hospitality Group. He's also a playwright, visual artist, and advocate for the power of people in business. People Over Profit: How to Build a Team That Grows With You If you want to build a business that lasts, start by investing in your people. David shares how he's created a culture where turnover is almost nonexistent by treating every team member like a future owner. Whether you're leading a small team or scaling fast, you'll take away practical ideas like profit-sharing instead of bonuses, transparent P&L reviews, and a long-term goal of shared equity. Because when people feel valued and have a real stake in the outcome, they're far more likely to stick around and help you grow. Think Restaurants Are Risky? Here's What Actually Causes Failure You've heard it before: “Restaurants are too risky.” But David challenges that assumption with a powerful reframing: it's not the industry that's the problem, it's the lack of business planning. Whether you're in hospitality or any creative venture, his method applies. Start with a story. Build a 10-year model. Make sure the capital pays back in 3 years or less. If the numbers don't work, don't move forward. This approach has helped him grow eight successful restaurants and it might just change the way you assess risk in your own ideas. Enjoy this episode with David Steele… Soundbytes 11:17 - 11:56 “I figured one thing out, and all polymaths in business have probably figured one thing out. That is, they know how to activate a coalition of people around a singular idea… Everything that has ever been created in the history of humankind that's been great has been because people symbiotically came together to do it.” 14:08 - 14:22 “I just think the most important variable in any partnership is the most important variable in any real, sustainable relationship, which is always seeking to find empathy for the person you have a relationship with.” Quotes “Treat people well. People just want to feel valuable. That's all they want.” “I have a goal with any business I start, which is to never lose a single employee for the life of the company. Now, it's a ridiculous goal. It's absurd.” “I still have some of those clients that I started with in 1991.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://davidsteele.xyz/ Connect with David Steele on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-steele-76088a/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ruby Powers discuss:The role of content creation in modern legal practiceBuilding a personal brand as a legal professionalLeveraging technology and AI in law firm marketingThe intersection of entrepreneurship and legal career growth Key Takeaways:A thoughtfully created core asset—such as a podcast episode, webinar, or article—can be broken down and reimagined into a wide range of content like blog posts, LinkedIn updates, short videos, newsletters, and downloadable resources, maximizing effort while expanding reach across platforms.Having digital workflows, remote communication systems, and flexible client service models in place early on allows a practice to stay fully functional and even thrive during major disruptions like relocations, global crises, or shifting life circumstances.Maintaining a well-organized archive of previously created materials—ranging from PowerPoints to articles and recorded webinars—makes it easier to consistently publish client-facing or educational content without always starting from a blank slate.Enhancing video content with subtitles, multilingual accessibility, and platform-specific formatting dramatically increases engagement, reach, and brand recall, especially in a mobile-first world where most viewers scroll with sound off and attention spans are short."If we're not repurposing, if we're not maximizing all of this content, then I'm upset." — Ruby PowersUnlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

What would happen if you stopped building someone else's brand—and started building your own? Justin Chausse went from running a landscaping business, to funding 185 files a year at a bank, to building a thriving mortgage business as a broker. In this episode, he shares why he left the bank (despite a six-figure signing bonus offer), how he overcame the fear of going independent, and what he learned about earning more by doing less. If you're a bank specialist or self-sourcing mortgage pro thinking about the broker world, this one's a must-listen. What We Cover: Self-Sourcing Success – Why Justin's 70% self-sourced business made him realize he didn't need the bank. Doing Less, Earning More – How he replaced 185 bank files with 60 broker files—and made more money. Profit for Clients, Not Shareholders – The freedom to put clients first without red tape or handcuffs. Choosing Your Own Tools – How being a broker gave him control over the client experience and back-end tech. Keep It Simple – Why most new brokers get overwhelmed, and how focusing on conversations builds a stronger business.

In this episode, I share lessons from top business and marketing minds — and how we can apply them in the education space.It's easy to stay in our niche, but doing so can limit our growth. I explore what happens when we step outside and learn from others.We cover pricing, client experience, creative thinking, and standing out in a busy market.TakeawaysLoud voices don't always reflect the majority. Value justifies pricing — not what others are charging. Client experience leaves a lasting impression. Creative thinking and logic go hand in hand. We don't need to be everywhere to stand out. Plan for dips in motivation to stay consistent. Looking outside our niche keeps us fresh and relevant.Sound bites"Are we listening to the loudest voices or the right ones?" "People remember how we made them feel." "Emotions aren't the opposite of logic."Enjoy :-)Sumantha____________________

Why do people say one thing and do another? Why do some ads flop while others go viral? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with behavioral marketing expert Nancy Harhut to explore the science behind how people actually make decisions—and how marketers can ethically influence those instincts to boost attention, engagement, and conversions.Nancy shares decades of experience blending behavioral science with marketing strategy, revealing practical tools that business owners and service providers can use right now. You'll learn about eye magnet words that increase clicks, why the word “free” still works wonders, how to use social proof and authority to build trust, and why loss aversion might be your best sales tool. Whether you're a clinic owner, entrepreneur, or content creator, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to improve your messaging and get better results.Key Takeaways:Behavioral marketing leverages subconscious decision-making. Up to 95% of decisions are made in the subconscious mind—using behavioral prompts can dramatically improve ad performance and message retention.Certain words have proven psychological impact. Words like “you,” “free,” “new,” and “alert” are eye magnets that instinctively capture attention and drive engagement across email, print, and social media.Use social proof and authority to build trust. Testimonials, certifications, and credibility signals reduce uncertainty and help potential clients feel confident choosing your service or product.Loss aversion is more powerful than gain. Framing your offer in terms of what someone could lose (vs. what they'll gain) can double response rates and increase urgency in decision-making.About the Guest:Nancy Harhut is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of HBT Marketing, where she helps brands apply behavioral science to increase marketing performance. With a background as a top-ranked creative director, Nancy has led successful campaigns for major global clients and was named a Top 10 Digital Marketer by the Online Marketing Institute. She's spoken at hundreds of industry conferences worldwide and is the author of Using Behavioral Science in Marketing: Drive Customer Action and Loyalty by Prompting Instinctive Responses.

Send us a textEver found yourself wondering if LinkedIn is worth the effort for your business? Molly Godfrey, co-founder of Build Impact Convert, definitively answers this question with practical strategies that won't leave you feeling overwhelmed or inauthentic.The biggest revelation? You don't need to live on LinkedIn to see results. Posting just three times weekly with strategic focus delivers far more impact than random daily content. "I don't even have the time for LinkedIn and I run a LinkedIn business," Molly confesses, immediately relieving the pressure many founders feel about the platform.What sets LinkedIn apart from other social platforms is its professional environment. Your Instagram approach won't work here—LinkedIn requires content specifically tailored to its audience. The platform rewards good writing, especially when it aligns with your professional identity. Whether it's a perfectly crafted hook or an in-depth framework explanation, quality consistently rises above quantity.Beyond posting, Molly shares her most powerful growth hack: maxing out your 100 connection requests weekly. This simple habit compounds dramatically, creating a passive pipeline of opportunities that often convert months later. Combined with strategic commenting on partners' content (just 20 minutes twice weekly), you'll extend your reach to ideal clients already engaged in relevant conversations.The magic happens when you balance educational content with strategic sales messaging. Sharing client transformation stories provides powerful social proof without feeling promotional. As Molly explains, "People want to know if I hire you, you're going to get results." Add a consistent "post signature" to your posts—a brief reminder of who you help and how—and watch your direct message inquiries increase without additional effort.Whether you're skeptical about LinkedIn's potential or simply haven't found your rhythm on the platform, Molly's approach offers a refreshingly realistic pathway to results. Connect with her to learn about her LinkedIn Accelerator Intensive, storytelling challenges, and digital resources designed to help founders leverage LinkedIn without the overwhelm.Join my events community for FREE monthly events.I offer free events each month to help you master your business's growth through marketing, sales, systems, and offer strategy.

The Fed's FAFO Moment Is Here Once upon a time, the Federal Reserve operated like a priesthood—cloaked in mystery, speaking in riddles, and quietly pulling the levers of the most powerful monetary system on Earth. Nobody cared. Nobody needed to care. the Fed used to operate in the shadows. Now it's a clown show on center stage. But that era is over. to understand Bitcoin? You have to understand fiat money. And to understand fiat, you're eventually dragged—kicking and screaming—into the insane world of central banking, open market operations, CPI manipulation, and why the “2% inflation target” is just a polite way of saying “we're slowly robbing you.” And so, now in 2025, regular people get it. They understand the Fed's tools are blunt, its logic circular, and its credibility paper-thin. They've watched as inflation ravaged their savings while Jerome Powell told them it was “transitory.” They watched old crow Janet Yellen's medicine show run up the debt in a way so routinely incompetent that it's tough to keep track of what years she was Treasury Secretary and what years she was Fed Chair.

The insurance industry is full of brokers who talk about innovation but still push the same tired, carrier-first products. My guest this week, Wes Spencer, doesn't just talk—he builds. After starting his career at Federated Insurance, he knew there had to be a better way than the restrictive models offered by traditional agencies.That mission became deeply personal after a nurse pulled him aside in a hospital and told him, "I wouldn't have that procedure done here" for his own daughter. Wes realized that if he, an industry insider, struggled to navigate the system, what chance did anyone else have? Instead of looking for a solution, he and his team at Sympl Benefits built one from the ground up. This episode is the story of how a broken system and a father's fight led to a new blueprint for benefits.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Leaving the Traditional Agency Model Behind, with Wes Spencer(00:22:31) Making Sure Incentives Are Aligned(00:25:59) How Can We Get Members To Navigate Healthcare Effectively?(00:31:49) Value of Healthcare Middlemen in Industry(00:39:14) Wes's Personal Experience With HealthcareCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY
