Noah Jackson and  AJ Wadian — the Co-Founders of Premier Home ProsLaunched in December 2022 with just $65,000 of their own capital and a decision made around a dinner table, Premier Home Pros has scaled from zero to more than $150 million in annual gross sales in just three years — surpassing $100 million in under 24 months — all without raising a single dollar of outside capital. Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, Premier now operates across 14 states and continues to expand at a pace that few companies in any industry achieve.In our conversation, Noah and AJ walk through the entire evolution of the business from doing over half a million dollars in sales in their first month — and the relentless execution required to turn early momentum into a scalable, multi-state operation. We talk about what it really means to build the plane while flying it, the mistakes they've made along the way, why bathrooms are far more complex than they appear, and how process, data, and elite talent compound when aligned correctly.We also explore their leadership evolution — how the business at times has grown faster than the people, what it takes to lead from the front, how they disagree productively as partners, and why Northeast Ohio remains home even as the company becomes increasingly national.This is a conversation about ambition, resilience, systems, and building something enduring — right here in northeast Ohio.Noah and AJ are operating at a level of demonstrated performance, intensity, and conviction that is rare and admirable — I took a lot away from their ambition and focus and and hope you all enjoy our conversation.00:00 The Ambitious Journey Begins08:34 Navigating Challenges and Learning from Mistakes29:02 Leadership Evolution in a Rapidly Growing Company37:52 Understanding the Bathroom Industry's Challenges40:57 Innovation and Trends in Bathroom Design43:22 Evolving Motivations and Definitions of Success48:54 Building a Business in Northeast Ohio52:31 Hidden Gems of Northeast Ohio-----LINKS:Noah Jackson: njackson@premier-homepros.comAugustine Wadian: awadian@premier-homepros.comhttps://premier-homepros.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aj-w-2815a6177/https://www.linkedin.com/in/njackson1005/-----SPONSOR:Cerity PartnersCerity Partners, a full-service investment and wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

0:00 - As Free Agency officially starts, the Broncos still look pretty committed to running it back.14:19 - There's a new second most points in a game in town! It's 83 points and it's from...Bam Adebayo?31:59 - That 83 point game happened in the middle of a mostly meaningless game between the Heat and the Wizards. Time to remember some guys doing cool stuff in meaningless games.

Dr. Peter Brukner is one of Australia's most decorated sports medicine physicians. He is former head of medical and performance at Liverpool FC, team doctor for Cricket Australia, Cathy Freeman's doctor at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and now one of the most credible voices in the low-carb and diabetes reversal space.In 2012, at 60 years old and working in Liverpool, Brukner had a fatty liver, high triglycerides, elevated insulin, and a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. He tried a low-carb diet for 90 days. He lost 13 kilograms. Every blood marker normalised. The fatty liver (present for a decade) was gone.What followed was a complete reorientation of his career: founding Sugar by Half, writing the bestselling 'A Fat Lot of Good', developing the Defeat Diabetes program, and becoming one of the most persistent critics of dietary guidelines that he believes are built on fraudulent science.This is a wide-ranging, evidence-dense conversation covering the politics of how fat got demonised, why the medical system structurally cannot update itself, the real mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, the legitimate and illegitimate uses of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, athlete nutrition, injury recovery, and where AI is headed in medicine.Watch all of our interviews at https://discernable.io/interviews

Full Text of Readings Third Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 28 The Saint of the day is Saint John of God Saint John of God's Story Having given up active Christian belief while a soldier, John was 40 before the depth of his sinfulness began to dawn on him. He decided to give the rest of his life to God's service, and headed at once for Africa where he hoped to free captive Christians and, possibly, be martyred. Saint John of God was soon advised that his desire for martyrdom was not spiritually well based, and returned to Spain and the relatively prosaic activity of a religious goods store. Yet he was still not settled. Moved initially by a sermon of Saint John of Avila, he one day engaged in a public beating of himself, begging mercy and wildly repenting for his past life. Committed to a mental hospital for these actions, John was visited by Saint John of God, who advised him to be more actively involved in tending to the needs of others rather than in enduring personal hardships. John gained peace of heart, and shortly after left the hospital to begin work among the poor. He established a house where he wisely tended to the needs of the sick poor, at first doing his own begging. But, excited by the saint's great work and inspired by his devotion, many people began to back him up with money and provisions. Among them were the archbishop and marquis of Tarifa. Behind John's outward acts of total concern and love for Christ's sick poor was a deep interior prayer life which was reflected in his spirit of humility. These qualities attracted helpers who, 20 years after John's death, formed the Brothers Hospitallers, now a worldwide religious order. Saint John of God became ill after 10 years of service, but tried to disguise his ill health. He began to put the hospital's administrative work into order and appointed a leader for his helpers. He died under the care of a spiritual friend and admirer, Lady Ana Ossorio. Reflection The utter humility of John of God, which led to a totally selfless dedication to others, is most impressive. Here is a man who realized his nothingness in the face of God. The Lord blessed him with the gifts of prudence, patience, courage, enthusiasm, and the ability to influence and inspire others. He saw that in his early life he had turned away from the Lord, and, moved to receive his mercy, John began his new commitment to love others in openness to God's love.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

When responsibility begins to feel heavy and pressure never fully lifts, you may not be overwhelmed — you may be losing yourself inside what you carry. This isn't laziness or weakness. It's identity drift. And it can be recalibrated.When responsibility becomes your identity, even strength can start to feel suffocating.In this milestone Episode 300, we explore what happens when commitment slowly turns into consumption — when being dependable, capable, and steady becomes fused with who you are rather than something you do.Many high performers and high-capacity humans do not struggle with effort. They struggle with self-erasure.They say yes quickly.They step in instinctively.They stabilize before anyone asks.And over time, responsibility stops being a role and starts becoming proof of worth.This episode gently explores:• Why over-functioning can feel like maturity• How identity drift hides beneath competence• Why delegating can feel destabilizing, not logistical• The loneliness of being the stabilizer in every room• The subtle fear: “If I'm not the steady one, who am I?”• Why high-capacity humans are allergic to self-deception — and how recalibration is refinement, not avoidanceWe name the deeper tension beneath burnout and stress:Not exhaustion alone, but identity fusion.This is not about doing less.It is about holding responsibility without disappearing inside it.Through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR), we are not layering on productivity tactics or mindset hacks. We begin at the root — the who. Because identity precedes behavior. When alignment becomes your default, it becomes difficult to live misaligned for long. Not because you are perfect, but because you notice sooner. You adjust sooner. You release shame faster.Pressure creates short-term results.Alignment creates sustainable strength.Three hundred conversations later, the evidence is clear:Alignment scales. Pressure doesn't.This episode offers orientation before resolution.Recognition before force.Companionship instead of correction.Today's Micro Recalibration:Before you say yes, pause.Ask yourself:Is this alignment — or identity maintenance?You don't need to change your answer immediately.Just notice.Reinforcement begins with awareness.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Who Builds the Plan Matters When strategic plans fail to achieve lift-off, it's usually because the process that was used to create them was flawed. I recently had a conversation about this with board and strategy expert Dr. Renee Rubin Ross, author of Inclusive Strategic Planning for Nonprofits, and it pushed me to think more deeply about something I see over and over again. Inclusion isn't a value statement. It's a design decision. And it's not optional if you want a great strategy that actually gets executed. The Real Problem Isn't the Plan Let's ask the real question. When a strategic plan stalls out, what's actually broken? Not because people are bad. Not because staff lack commitment. Not because boards don't care. It's usually because the people who are expected to carry out the work weren't meaningfully included in building the vision. Renee said something in our conversation that I think is the heart of it: "Who is involved in building the vision and building the goals really matters." Without the right people in the room, motivation drops. When motivation drops, capacity drops. When capacity drops, implementation stalls. It's not a personality problem. It's a systems problem. And, systems create behavior. Deciders, Builders, and Sharers One of the most useful frameworks Renee shared is her concentric circle model: Deciders – the group ultimately responsible for final decisions Builders – the group that helps create the vision and goals Sharers – stakeholders who provide input and perspective This framing adds clarity. Inclusion does not mean 40 people wordsmithing a sentence. It means being intentional about who participates at each stage AND making that visible. More detail doesn't equal more clarity. Clarity comes from defining roles. And when people understand their role in the process, something powerful happens. They lean in. Process Builds Motivation One of my favorite moments in our conversation was when we talked about why inclusive planning increases energy. Renee said: "If you feel like, wow, someone consulted me on this, I got to weigh in, so I feel more motivated." That's the mechanism. Motivation is not a personality trait. It's a byproduct of meaningful participation. When someone is handed a finished plan, they feel managed. When someone helps build the plan, they feel responsible. That shift alone can change your return per dollar invested in strategic planning. Because here's the truth: You don't need to convince people. Let the process do the convincing! Tell the Story of How You Decided This is the biggest mistake I see. Leaders announce decisions. They rarely explain the process behind the decision. But boards, staff, and stakeholders are not evaluating the decision itself. They're evaluating whether the decision-making process was any good. When people understand: What information was gathered Who was consulted What trade-offs were considered How capacity was evaluated They relax. Even if they disagree with the final outcome. Confidence in process builds trust in results. Three-Year Vision: Bold, Not Delusional I loved Renee's approach to visioning. Not 10 years. Not 20 years. Three years. Enough time to be meaningful. Short enough to be real. Her guided question during retreats: It's three years from now and you're celebrating. What are you celebrating? That question does something subtle but powerful. It moves people from anxiety to ownership. Nonprofit leaders often operate at capacity. Sometimes beyond it. If you ask, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" You'll get exhaustion. If you ask, "What are we celebrating three years from now?" You'll get direction. Skin in the Game I often think about the idea of skin in the game. The people who experience the consequences of decisions make better decisions. When staff who will execute the plan help build it, they bring constraints, creativity, and operational reality into the room. When new team members sit next to veterans in a facilitated discussion, something happens: Experience meets fresh eyes Caution meets creativity History meets possibility That's how alignment forms. And alignment unlocks capacity. Final Thought Inclusion is not consensus. Inclusion is clarity about participation. When people are clear on their role in shaping the future, motivation rises. When motivation rises, execution improves. When execution improves, opportunity expands. And that's why who builds the plan matters.

Scot Lowry — Managing Partner and Co-Founder of PromiseONE CompaniesScot is the Managing Partner and Co-Founder of PromiseONE Companies, a Cleveland-based investment firm that helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs acquire and grow established businesses through Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, or ETA. Prior to launching PromiseONE, Scot acquired and led Fathom, a digital marketing firm he grew more than 450% over a decade — an experience that became both the financial engine and talent incubator behind PromiseONE's long-term portfolio strategy. Today, Scot also serves as the Richard Osborne Professor of Entrepreneurship at Case Western Reserve University, where he teaches acquisition entrepreneurship and helps steward one of the nation's longest-standing ETA programs.In our conversation, Scot and I explore Cleveland's unique “right to win” in ETA and the decades-long lineage that traces back to his mentor, Richard Osborne. We talk about what it truly means to become a credible buyer, how to earn the trust of legacy sellers, and why understanding what matters most to them is the foundation of great dealmaking. We unpack the evolution of PromiseONE's patient capital model, the philosophy of “your dream is my dream,” and how Scot has helped multiple operators transition from employee to business owner. We also discuss negotiation, long-term ownership versus traditional private equity, mentorship, and a deeply personal crucible moment that reshaped Scot's leadership philosophy and sense of purpose.Scot is a thoughtful entrepreneur, investor, and teacher, and this was a really meaningful conversation — please enjoy.00:00 Introduction to Promise Partners and Scott Lowry03:08 Cleveland's Right to Win in Entrepreneurship05:51 The Role of Richard Osborne and Promise Partners08:57 Building Credibility as a Buyer12:07 The Evolution of Promise One Companies14:55 Understanding Legacy Sellers18:04 The Importance of Relationships in Deal Making20:55 Navigating the Acquisition Process23:48 Lessons from Fathom's Growth and Leadership27:06 The Philosophy Behind Promise One's Model37:56 Choosing the Path of Entrepreneurship40:06 Building a Community of Entrepreneurs43:13 Incubating New Business Ideas46:04 The Promise Partners Model48:46 Long-Term Vision and Patient Capital51:53 The Art of Deal Making56:03 Teaching and Mentoring Future Entrepreneurs01:00:13 Reflections on Personal Growth and Purpose-----LINKS:https://promiseone.com/about-us/https://case.edu/weatherhead/academics/entrepreneurship-through-acquisitionhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scotlowry/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone Insurance — https://roundstoneinsurance.com/Roundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Einkorn ancient grain, fresh milled flour, and regenerative farming are changing the way we understand wheat, gluten, and nutrient density. In this episode, we explore how ancient grains like einkorn differ from modern wheat — and why fresh milling preserves more nutrition than store-bought flour.On this Wellness Wednesday episode, I sit down with a regenerative farmer Jade Koyle who is growing ancient grains with deep care for the soil and a commitment to true nutrient density.We discuss:• What makes einkorn genetically different from modern hybridized wheat• How regenerative farming practices improve soil health and mineral content• The complexity of einkorn's gluten structure and digestibility• Why fresh-milled flour retains more vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats• Practical ways to begin baking with ancient grains at homeLet me know in the comments, have you baked with einkorn or milled your own grain yet?

If you came here for emotional growth… wrong show. If you came here for chaotic, sarcastic, wildly unqualified movie criticism and questionable trivia confidence? Welcome home.Today's comedy podcast kicks off with a tribute to Bo Gritz, the real-life inspiration behind John Rambo — because nothing says “morning show vibes” like discussing Vietnam-era legends before spiraling into body horror films 12 minutes later.Speaking of spiraling… Rizz watched The Substance on a plane. Yes, in public. Yes, with full nudity. Yes, with the brightness probably way too high. Demi Moore? Committed. Margaret Qualley? Prosthetics. Scott? Immediately downloaded it. The gang debates whether it's brilliant social commentary or just a two-hour fever dream with fake boobs and chaos. We also dive into what qualifies as a “body horror” film and whether watching it mid-flight should put you on a list somewhere.From there, we bounce through:The first indoor hockey game ending in a full-on 1800s brawlDolly Parton casually becoming even more iconicLil Jon's tragic family updateBryan Adams hitting the Spotify billions club (Scott's first slow dance moment included)Frankie Valli possibly being wheeled out like a Vegas animatronicMetallica at The Sphere and why your mortgage might have to waitDiddy's shifting prison timelineAnd a rapid-fire debate about which celebrities used prosthetics in nude scenes (yes, this is a real segment)Plus: Simpleton Trivia, Point Fest lineup updates, and the kind of sarcastic humor only a daily comedy podcast from St. Louis can legally produce before 10 a.m.If you love pop culture commentary, weird news, celebrity chaos, and a morning talk show that proudly derails itself, this episode of The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast delivers peak daily comedy energy.We are not doctors.We are not film critics.We are barely adults.But we are consistent.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chad Delligatti — CEO of InnoSourceChad Delligatti is the CEO of InnoSource — a more than two-decade-old, Ohio-based company that has grown into a national workforce solutions platform serving Fortune 500 and midsized organizations across the country.Since joining InnoSource in 2000 as one of its earliest employees, Chad has devoted his entire professional career to building the company — helping it evolve from a regional staffing firm into the leading HR, talent, outsourcing, and data solutions partner it is today, employing more than 2,000 associates across North America, partnering with clients to deliver highly customized recruiting and workforce management solutions.But this isn't just a story about staffing…From sweeping neighbors' floors in Bexley as a child, to running a lawn care business in Granville, to flipping Beanie Babies in college, Chad's entrepreneurial drive showed up early. And when faced with the choice between joining a large corporation or becoming one of the first employees at a small, fledgling company called InnoSource, he chose the entrepreneurial path — a decision that shaped the next 25 years of his life.In our conversation, Chad reflects on what it means to dedicate decades to building one company — the evolution of the staffing and outsourcing industry from newspaper classifieds to job boards to AI-driven recruiting — and how InnoSource is now entering a new chapter powered by technology.We unpack how the implementation of AI is reshaping hiring funnels, reducing time-to-offer, improving tenure, and fundamentally transforming how workforce solutions are delivered. We also explore what hasn't changed: the company's cultural anchors, leadership principles, and Chad's conviction that technology must enhance — not replace — the human touch.This conversation was a lot of fun — chad exudes passion for his work and it comes through in spades.

Life is hard.Building a business is hard.Sales is hard.Fighting cancer is hard.But the people who stay committed — win.In this episode of the Loveall Sales Podcast, I open up about what it really takes to build something meaningful. From fighting cancer for the second time… to staying in the office until 11PM trying to fix camera settings and marketing systems… to dealing with setbacks, negative feedback, and moments where quitting feels easier — this episode is raw and real.Most people don't fail because they lack talent.They fail because they lack commitment.I break down:Why 90% of people never reach 20, 30, 40+ cars per monthThe real reason businesses never scaleHow commitment beats motivation every timeThe daily habits that separate the elite 1% from everyone elseThe exact “Loveall Daily Standard” I believe guarantees successWhy investing in yourself is non-negotiableAnd the power of staying uncomfortable long enough to growI also share stories from:Running a dealership from 60 cars to 100+ in 30 daysA former student who went from $15/hour to top 3 in his storeWhy discipline fades — but commitment builds championsIf you're a salesperson stuck at average…If you're a manager who wants more for your team…If you're building something and it feels harder than you expected…This episode is for you.Because here's the truth:Motivation fades.Discipline fluctuates.But commitment creates habits — and habits create winners.Life will test you.Sales will test you.Business will test you.The only question is… are you committed?If you are — I'll go all in with you.Believe in yourself. Because I do.

A few months ago, I opened my mailbox to find a beautifully packaged starter box of goat milk soap from Allan Laird of Hooves and Feathers. Allan is a Farm Marketing School student… and he was proudly showing me his homework.

He smashed his own Lamborghini windshield in the middle of Miami to go viral. But that is not why he is winning. Spencer Kozej is a life insurance sales leader who built a virtual sales brand after dropping out of college and moving to Florida. He now recruits and develops young sales professionals by teaching communication, branding, and discipline. In this episode, Spencer explains how your environment shapes belief, why mastering sales guarantees leverage for life, and how to use attention strategically instead of chasing clout. He also shares how faith, accountability, and daily discipline helped him grow in an environment built on distraction. If you are young and serious about building income, influence, and skill, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your future.

Dating can burn you out . . . especially when you've been rejected, ghosted, or stuck in that exhausting loop where nothing ever turns into something real. In Part 2 of my conversation with clinical psychologist Guy Winch, we get into how to stop showing up in “don't mess this up!” mode, how to shift from avoiding loss to actually going for connection, and how to date in a way that protects your energy.We also tackle modern dating burnout—why it turns into cynicism, how to spot the patterns keeping you stuck, the “coffee date” debate, the “burned haystack” method, and real red flags vs. over-filtering.---------►► Grab your copy of Dr. Guy Winch's new book Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life at guywinch.com/books/mind-over-grind ►►
