David Waldman and Greg Dworkin join the world in celebrating my birthday. When buying me gifts, remember to type the word "KAGRO", because… it's worth a try. A much, much larger part of that world mourns the loss of Dolly Parton. And for good reason, Dolly had a lot going for her. Mourners go across the political spectrum, but it's pretty certain that she didn't. Donald ordered flags at half-staff, as every woman in his orbit for the last 40 years has paid to look like Parton, and as Dolly would tell you, it costs a lot of money to look that cheap. And now Tim Curry too! Many voters feel that there's a "uni-party" and that their vote does not matter. Supporters of Hakeem Jeffries say, "You ignorant morons don't understand the realities of politics and can vote Republican if you just want to be dummies." Maybe we are under the reign of Great Britain after all. James Talarico is ahead of Ken Paxton, according to polls. According to money, too. Jar Head Salsa tycoon/Jan 6 traitor/patriot Tom Smith finds himself nominated for his Michigan House district. Polling shows Dan Sullivan leading Dan Sullivan in Alaska. The Donald K. Trump midterm political convention will be about Trump, as is Lake Ontario, as is the John F. Kennedy Center. Natalie Harp is all about Trump. Pete Hegseth is eliminating every General not qualified to be a Fox weekend host.
What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters
For entrepreneurs, boredom is more than an inconvenience. It can lead to poor decisions, unnecessary disruption, and lost momentum. In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explore why conscious thinking is the antidote to boredom and how asking better questions can create fresh energy, clarity, and opportunity from the experiences already in front of you. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Why entrepreneurs need to be aware of how they're thinking.A simple, easy way to get energized by what you're doing.Where boredom really comes from.How to respond to major changes in the world. Show Notes: Entrepreneurs need achievement that feels new, better, and different to stay energized and engaged. If you are no longer growing, or are achieving in the same way for too long, boredom can quickly set in. Boredom is not always a signal to look for more external stimulation; it can be a cue to change how you're thinking. You can shift your energy by consciously switching away from an unproductive thought and giving your brain a better question to answer. Becoming aware of what you're thinking, feeling, and experiencing in the moment is a practical antidote to boredom. Asking yourself, “What is actually happening right now?” turns you from a passive participant into an active observer. Taking the role of an observer creates emotional distance and helps you see a stressful situation more clearly. Naming your experience gives your brain something specific to work on and creates an immediate shift in energy. Anger and negative emotions can take over when you're reacting unconsciously instead of examining what's happening. Curiosity keeps entrepreneurs engaged because it turns familiar experiences into sources of new insight. Reviewing your best “yes” decisions and best “no” decisions can reveal valuable patterns, connections, and confidence for the future. The more conscious you are of your thinking, the more easily you can create fresh energy from your past, present, and future experiences.

Would you let a stranger run up a bill in your name for 10 years and say nothing? That's exactly what you've been doing to yourself. The debt collector you've been avoiding is already staring back at you in the mirror. And this morning, 45 minutes before recording this episode, George sat in his car and scrolled YouTube Shorts for 15 minutes. He caught it. He's showing you exactly what he did next. This is a first-of-its-kind format for the show, a step-by-step implementation guide built from a guest interview. George takes Dr. Lester Clowes' concept of promised debt and turns it into an actionable, practical system you can start tonight. One kept promise. One small deposit. That's where it begins. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What promised debt is and why it's a debt problem, not a discipline problem How to identify where you're making withdrawals in your business right now Why big commitments make promised debt worse and what to do instead The embarrassingly small promise system and why it rebuilds trust faster than anything else The Gap vs. the Gain framework from Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy Why gain thinking is the only operating system that makes this whole system actually work The one piece of scripture that ties the entire framework together Key Takeaways: ✔️Promised debt is what happens when you keep making promises to yourself and breaking them, one by one, silently. Most people are years in the negative and wonder why they can't trust themselves. ✔️This is not a discipline problem. It's a debt problem. The imposter feeling, the second-guessing, the burnout, it's almost always promised debt underneath. ✔️When you realize your balance is negative, the instinct is to go big. That's wrong. Bigger commitments make the balance worse when they collapse. The fix is embarrassingly small ones. ✔️If the promise doesn't feel a little embarrassing to write down, it's probably still too big. ✔️One kept promise that small, seven days in a row, rebuilds more self-trust than one heroic effort that collapses on day three. ✔️The Gap measures you against a moving future target. The Gain measures you against where you started. Promise debt only works long-term if you're running it through the Gain. ✔️Motivation comes and goes. The system, the physical ledger, the written promise, the checkmark, is what holds when motivation doesn't. ✔️Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Luke 16:10. Start with the seed. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The stranger running up a bill in your name and who it actually is [01:31] — What happened 45 minutes before recording: the YouTube Shorts confession [03:30] — What promised debt actually is and Lester's concept of motivation porn [06:00] — What promised debt looks like in your business right now [08:00] — Deposits vs. withdrawals: the ledger that's running whether you track it or not [10:30] — Why big commitments make the balance worse, the Sunday night Tony Robbins spiral [13:00] — The embarrassingly small promise system and the actual mechanism [16:00] — The Gap vs. the Gain, Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy [20:00] — Why gain thinking is the prerequisite for the whole system to work [23:00] — The assignment: one sentence, one promise, tonight [24:30] — Luke 16:10 and why the small seed is the whole game [25:30] — George's legal pad in real time: what his list actually looks like Your Challenge This Week: Tonight, before you go to bed: one sentence. One embarrassingly small promise for tomorrow. Write it on paper. Tomorrow, keep it. Check it off. Do it again.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring harmony to the chaos. WAR! Donald K. Trump has done all he can to provoke the most un-provokable neighbor a country has ever had. Now he has a new war to lose that America will continue to lose after he's gone. The US Navy continues to lose its war against Trump. The USS Lincoln sailors finally return home to their families, as long as their families haven't yet been abducted by ICE. Navy families evacuated from Bahrain remain stranded. Any of them returning home to Gary, Indiana will be greeted with familiar conditions. Loudoun County, home of KITM World Headquarters, have surrendered to their data center overlords long ago and might be becoming habituated, but in places like Ohio, the centers are now entering with AI and Flock(ish) cameras and an increasingly abusive and silly police state, which are all pretty much supported by Gops, though less so with MAGA, and hence are a midterms problem for Republicans. Democrats are in great shape… as long as they offer complex solutions to complex issues, never overpromise and above all, remain electable. Once the American public becomes fully educated to understand the nomenclature and internal structure behind government processes, Democrats should be a lock. Meanwhile, Dan Sullivan endorses Dan Sullivan to beat Dan Sullivan, who's no Danny Sullivan. Danny didn't win yesterday's finale of America's glorious semi sesquicentennial celebration but probably would have had if he started on the pole.
MAGA world continues to express outrage over Jon Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" remarks, including an over-the-top rant from Scott Jennings that is being seen as the pundit's shameless audition for the open White House press secretary job. Dan and Jon react to Harp-gate, an MS NOW report that says Harp declined to seek a security clearance, and the New York Times reporting that Pete Hegseth brings his wife to highly sensitive meetings to "keep him out of trouble." They then turn to the midterms to unpack Angie Nixon's surprising defeat of Alexander Vindman in the Florida Democratic Senate primary, Dan Sullivan vs. Dan Sullivan in the Alaska general election, Darline Graham's historically embarrassing debate answer in South Carolina, and the impact the debate over data centers is having on the Ohio Senate election. Then, Josh Turek, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Iowa, stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about Democratic momentum in the Hawkeye State and how he convinced Barack Obama to shoot hoops in his viral endorsement video.Hate listening to ads?

Today's Headlines: Trump spent yesterday morning showing off his new White House helipad and giving an unprompted infomercial for Scott's Miracle-Gro that spiked the company's stock — a useful distraction from reporting that his aide Natalie Harp, the Human Printer, worked at the White House for a year without a security clearance because she refused until Trump personally intervened. He also TACO'd again, the Canada tariffs Trump announced at 50% were paused before they went into effect because they're "probably going to make a deal," and the US national debt hit $40 trillion for the first time, doubling in a decade, so the economic situation is going great.Surprise! We've got some great news, an mRNA vaccine to prevent skin cancer from recurring was successful in clinical trials, with Moderna and Merck potentially launching commercially next year and with possible applications to other cancers. Violent crime also dropped nearly 10% in 2025, the largest single-year decline since the FBI started tracking in 1936, with murder down 18% and robbery down 18.5%, which is the kind of news that deserves more attention than it's getting. Now back to regularly scheduled shenanigans. The Army is offering soldiers four days off to play Grand Theft Auto 6 as a re-enlistment incentive, and at least 20 have signed up, which says something about both the state of military recruitment and the anticipation for GTA 6. Elon Musk is reportedly planning to spend $100-200 million on the midterms, with a focus on helping Ken Paxton win a Texas Senate seat — Paxton has raised $9 million to James Talarico's $69 million, so Elon's money is going to be doing a lot of heavy lifting. In primary results, Trump's preferred Wyoming governor candidate lost to an experienced state legislator, and Alaska's jungle primary produced a genuinely chaotic situation where two Dan Sullivans are running — the incumbent Republican senator and a retired schoolteacher who argues he's been Dan Sullivan longer, which is technically true. And finally, Harry and Meghan are reportedly moving back to the UK with Archie and Lilibet, not as working royals, which means those HRH titles are about to get a workout.

The Downballot ran the numbers on 110 special elections since January 2025. Democrats are outrunning Kamala Harris's 2024 margins by 12.5 points on average and Joe Biden's 2020 numbers by 8.4. That implies a roughly 12 point environment in House and Senate races, slightly better than what the same measure showed heading into 2018, when Democrats gained 40 House seats. Brandon Dukes just flipped Pennsylvania's 12th, the 31st legislative flip of the cycle. Democrats have won every one. Ron Brownstein's piece for CNN gets at the other half. The risk to Republicans is subtraction rather than addition: low propensity Trump voters who turn out only when his name is on the ballot, and it will not be on one again. Meanwhile Democratic primary turnout is hitting numbers not seen in decades. Nearly 800,000 in Wisconsin, 1.5 million in Michigan, surges in Texas and Georgia. In Alaska's primary, Mary Peltola outpolled Dan Sullivan by four points. James Talarico's numbers in Texas are worth a look too.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan.

The U.S. is delaying a planned 50% tariff on some Canadian goods after last-minute talks between the two countries. The tariffs were set to take effect on Wednesday, but President Trump announced on Tuesday night that he had paused them for only three days. The tariffs would have covered more than $20 billion in Canadian products, ranging from wine, hockey sticks and cement. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the two countries have made substantial progress, but that important work remains before a deal is finalized.Tuesday's primaries are set, clearing the way for pivotal November races in Florida, Alaska, and Wyoming.

Our playbook to $100K a month is free, and it comes with an AI tool that builds a plan for you: ► The $100K Playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K Dr. Benjamin Hardy is the co-author of the books, "10x Is Easier Than 2x" and "Who Not How" with Dan Sullivan. I read his new one, "The Science of Scaling," and then I couldn't sleep. Step one is to set a goal so big you don't believe you can hit it, and I got stuck there, so instead of interviewing Ben about his framework I asked him to run it on me live. He pulled my own goal three years forward and made me say out loud what would have to go, which is when it clicked: the goal is not a prediction, it's a tool for deciding what you cut.

Dan Sullivan used to write books the hard way: long, lonely hours at the keyboard. In this episode, he explains the small‑book production system he created in 2014—focused ideas, a repeatable structure, and an editorial team that lets him produce a new book every quarter—and shows how entrepreneurs can adopt the same approach. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:What first got Dan writing books over 30 years ago.The commitment he made at 70 to write a different kind of book every quarter.Why his new book project stalled just four weeks in.Who the books are for and how they're meant to be used.How Dan selects each quarter's book topic. Show Notes: You can choose to write only about ideas your clients have already paid you for and that are proven in the marketplace. Long-term creative goals, like a book every quarter for 25 years, keep you active, productive, and future-focused. Advertising taught Dan to write succinctly by getting a complete message across in just a few seconds or inches of space. Strategic Coach® books are written specifically for Program members and for their associates who may want to join. Every quarterly book follows the same structure, with eight chapters, an introduction, a conclusion, and a consistent layout. Short, focused books can reveal which ideas deserve to become bigger, mass market books. Writing a book entirely on your own is often slow, lonely work that doesn't suit most entrepreneurs. If you maintain your health, you can keep doing meaningful creative work for your entire lifetime. When a company pays you to advise its people, your recommendations can be constrained by the organization's agenda. Most entrepreneurs get better results by collaborating with an interviewer or editor who can draw out their ideas. When you're stuck on a project, asking a capable team member to take over the “How” can instantly create momentum.

So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Mina.Mina 00:00:59 Josh, thank you for having me. I'm excited man.Josh 00:01:01 Mina I'm also curious. I mean, you're talking about statistical analysis now, right? And not many Amazon sellers are known for their statistical analysis skills.Josh 00:01:11 where, like, are you doing all of this and just, you know, spreadsheets or Google Sheets or are you do you have a software that's helping, you know, run these numbers and statistically prove that this was a, you know, conclusive test? Yes. Swap it out.Mina 00:01:28 No, we we don't have any software. This is all standard. you know, I mean, this is all, like Google Sheets and stuff like that. We do have a software that. But all that software does is analytics software, and it shows us our PPC spend, our PPC sales, our total sales sessions, cost per session, cook rate, conversion rate, cost per click, and profit. Day by day across all of our different products. So having that view is really useful because you're no longer looking. you know, I was just talking to someone earlier, and, they use like a PVC software and stuff like that. And I'm like, show me how you're looking at things. And they're like really looking at like trends of conversion and trends of impressions.Mina 00:02:11 And I'm like, it's so hard for you to, you know, make a decision based on like looking looking at the data like that. So I think that's where our analytics software helps a lot is we can see the week on week changes and I can see, okay, the ad spend changed like increased by 10%. What happened to my sessions? What happened to my cost per session? What happened to my click through rate or my peak spend was the same week over week. I changed my main image. What happened to my click through rate week over week? Or like okay, here's all of the click through rates. Document them, here's all the sessions, document them, and then go look at like the you know, Google Sheets just do equals average and equals STD dev which is standard deviation. And then it gives you the average and standard deviation is.Josh 00:02:54 I love that. What software tool are you using to gather that data at a baseline right. On a daily basis.Mina 00:03:01 That's my real profit.Mina 00:03:02 So we did we did custom development. So if you want if you want to see our exact analytics, you know you can do it through us. They can sell it to you. It's because it's IP. But my real profit is amazing. And you know because of our size, like, you know, we have 130 something brands. So we decided to just custom develop everything that is like the most streamlined for us to be able to like see the data and very quickly take action.Josh 00:03:28 Yeah, yeah. Makes a lot of sense. I love that. All right, Mina, we've got just a few minutes left, but because you've statistically seen that the main image and price are your biggest needle movers for conversion rate. I'm curious if you can give us just some quick tips in terms of what type of images have you seen performing better than others, and is there kind of a general rule of thumb that you could point towards, although it may be kind of product specific, but any general rules of thumb of what continues to win?Mina 00:04:00 Yeah.Mina 00:04:00 Okay. I also want to say, like, I know I talked about the biggest needle movers. reviews. If you go from a four star to four and a half star, that's a massive needle mover, too. you know, obviously, if you're going from like 300 to 500 to 700 review, it's like a slow burn. But if you go from ...
Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters
For over five decades, Strategic Coach® co-founder Dan Sullivan has been coaching talented, successful, ambitious entrepreneurs. In this episode, Dan shares insights from his new book, Who We're Looking For, as he and business coach Shannon Waller define the kind of entrepreneur who gains the most from joining The Strategic Coach® Program. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How Dan discovered and describes the coaching instinct he was born with.Why The Strategic CoachProgram is designed exclusively for entrepreneurs.How Strategic Coach structures and processes can support an entrepreneur's lifetime growth.How an entrepreneur's ambition can create isolation—and what to do about it.How Strategic Coach and its members create a true collaboration, not a transactional relationship. Show Notes: Who you are is often easier for someone else to see, especially when they're watching you in action and noticing what consistently works for you. Your life is made up of hundreds and thousands of experiences, and the patterns of what works and what doesn't reveal your real talents and direction. The entrepreneurs who thrive in Strategic Coach are the ones who have chosen to base their income on their own effectiveness in the marketplace. Entrepreneurs have the strongest connection to their ambition because they've taken full responsibility for creating their own opportunities and results. Strategic Coach has coached over 25,000 entrepreneurs, and some members have been in the Program for more than 35 years, treating it as their entrepreneurial home. The ideal Strategic Coach member is talented, successful, highly ambitious, and never wants to stop growing their freedom and impact. When the right-fit entrepreneur hears about Strategic Coach, they recognize it immediately as the structure and community they've been looking for, which makes getting started simple and fast. In the Strategic Coach community, entrepreneurs collaborate rather than compete, contributing their experiences and insights so everyone grows faster. The biggest danger for entrepreneurs is loneliness, especially when they feel like no one around them really understands their ambition or experience. Most entrepreneurs have had to prove themselves on their own without a process, structure, or environment designed specifically for people who think the way they do. Strategic Coach gives entrepreneurs a space where they can be unabashedly ambitious and surrounded by peers who want them to think even bigger. Fundamental entrepreneurial thinking is different from knowing your industry; it's a way of seeing opportunities, taking ownership, and creating value regardless of the business you're in. There's no point in being a successful entrepreneur unless your success continually increases your sense of personal happiness and agency.

Can AI ever become sentient? Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff unpack the fundamental differences between computer intelligence and human consciousness, and explain why emotional connection, meaning, and responsibility must remain human capabilities. Show Notes: AI, as we use it today, operates on very clever and very fast uses of language, not feelings. You can be conscious without sentience, but you can't have sentience without consciousness. Throughout history, when something new isn't fully understood, people tend to treat it as spiritual or even religious. Calling AI “magic” is brilliant marketing because it sidesteps the need to explain how it actually works. Emotional attachment to AI is risky because the system can't receive empathy or respond as a sentient being. AI tools continually get better at learning how you use language and mirroring your patterns. Many AIs feel complimentary and helpful by design, which is how they draw you in and keep you engaged. Enterprise‑level users want to push AI further and further because any profit depends on scaling these capabilities. Under the hood, AI is just math and code, which most people find neither intuitive nor very interesting. Much advertising, including tech marketing, plays on the idea that you're not yet the person you want to be and that their product will close the gap.

Ride the Wave Already Moving with Sarah Olivieri Strategic planning gets treated like a decision you make in a quiet room, then hand down to the team. So leaders sit down to "set direction," invent something new from scratch, and spend the next year trying to force it into existence. The resource burn is real. The traction usually isn't. In this solo episode, Sarah breaks down why strategy is mostly discovered rather than decided, and how to tell the difference before you commit the year to it. In This Episode, You'll Learn The two sides of strategy — fixing what's already running and growing what's new — and why they need different thinking Why deciding a brand-new direction is one of the most resource-intensive moves a leader can make, and when it's actually worth it What "sprouts" look like inside your organization and out in the wider world, and how to spot them early Two strategic questions Sarah keeps coming back to (including the Dan Sullivan three-year question) Why listening — to words, data, body language, and energy — is a core strategic skill, not a soft one Who This Episode Is For • Executive directors staring at a blank strategic plan template wondering where to start • CEOs who feel like every new direction is being pushed uphill • Leadership teams heading into a planning retreat and wanting to walk in with better questions • Anyone who has ever committed to a bold new strategy and watched it stall out by Q2 More on the subject • Before you decide a new direction, list what's already emerging inside your team, your programs, and your data • Run the Dan Sullivan question with your leadership team: if we were meeting in three years and everything had gone really well, what would need to have happened? • Ask the One Thing question: what's the one thing that, if solved, would make everything else easier or unnecessary? • Treat listening as a strategic activity, not a management courtesy — put time on the calendar for it About Your Host, Sarah Olivieri Bold, strategic, and refreshingly human… Sarah Olivieri is the go-to expert for conversations on aligned leadership, outcome delegation, and sustainable growth.She brings wit, warmth, and real-world wisdom to mission-driven founders, visionary CEOs, and change-makers who want more clarity, more joy, and more results. Most leaders hit a wall when success depends on them holding it all together. Sarah helps them change that by redefining leadership around outcomes instead of activity, empowering teams to own results that scale and freeing leaders to focus on the vision that drives them. A former director of three nonprofits and founder of five businesses, she has a rare ability to spot opportunity where others see chaos, shift stuck patterns, and build organizations that support both legacy and life. Sarah leads with the same mindset that made her an award-winning sailor: iterate on what works, stay focused in the storm, and never forget the joy of the journey.

¿Trabajas más horas cada año y aun así sientes que tu negocio no te suelta? Hay un momento exacto en el que crecer empieza a doler, y la mayoría de emprendedores reacciona mal cuando llega ahí. En este episodio resumimos Buy Back Your Time (Recupera tu tiempo, 2023), de Dan Martell, un emprendedor canadiense que pasó de estar en la cárcel a los 17 años a dirigir un negocio de ocho cifras trabajando muy pocas horas a la semana. La tesis del libro es que la mayoría de emprendedores no se ahogan por trabajar poco, sino por no tener sistemas para recuperar su tiempo. Martell explica el "punto de dolor": ese momento, normalmente entre los 12 y 14 empleados o alrededor del millón de facturación, en el que crecer empieza a doler más de lo que podemos soportar. Y cuando llega ese dolor, casi todos hacemos lo mismo: vendemos el negocio por desesperación, lo saboteamos sin darnos cuenta o decidimos estancarnos para siempre. La buena noticia es que hay una cuarta salida: auditar tu tiempo, calcular cuánto vale tu hora y empezar a comprar de vuelta las tareas que te drenan, para invertir ese tiempo en lo que sí te genera dinero y energía a la vez. En este episodio vas a llevarte: ✅ Qué es el punto de dolor y por qué ningún emprendedor puede crecer hacia más dolor ✅ La matriz DRIP para clasificar tus tareas según el dinero y la energía que te dan ✅ Cómo calcular tu factor de recompra para saber cuánto vale delegar cada tarea ✅ Los cinco asesinos del tiempo que te mantienen enganchado al caos ✅ La escalera del reemplazo: el orden exacto para ir soltando tu negocio sin que se caiga Este es el segundo episodio del bloque de sistemas de negocio: la semana pasada vimos Quién No Cómo, de Dan Sullivan y Ben Hardy, la idea de mentalidad que sostiene todo este sistema.

¿Llevas tiempo con una meta que no arranca? ¿Eres el cuello de botella de todo lo que pasa en tu negocio? La pregunta "¿cómo lo hago?" parece lógica, pero es una trampa que te condena a hacerlo tú solo, con tu tiempo y tu atención, que no son infinitos. En este episodio resumimos Quién, no cómo (Who Not How, 2020), de Dan Sullivan y Ben Hardy. Sullivan es fundador de Strategic Coach, la mayor empresa de formación para emprendedores de Estados Unidos. Hardy es psicólogo y coautor de varios libros sobre mentalidad y rendimiento. El "cómo" es lineal y lento: depende de lo que tú sabes y de las horas que le metas. El "quién" es instantáneo y exponencial: en el momento en que encuentras a la persona correcta, te conectas de golpe con conocimiento, contactos y capacidades que tú solo habrías tardado años en desarrollar. Michael Jordan no ganó ni un campeonato en sus primeros seis años en la NBA, no porque le faltara talento, sino porque le faltaba gente. Llegaron Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson y Tim Grover, y ganó seis anillos. En este episodio vas a llevarte: ✅ Por qué la procrastinación no es pereza, sino una señal de que te falta un quién ✅ Cómo el filtro del impacto convierte tu visión en algo que otros quieren ejecutar sin que tú estés encima ✅ La historia del millonario que casi murió por no querer pagar 8.000 dólares en un aire acondicionado ✅ Por qué las personas correctas no solo te ayudan a llegar a tu destino, sino que pueden cambiar ese destino para mejor ✅ Cómo distinguir los problemas técnicos (que alguien puede resolver por ti) de los adaptativos (que solo tú puedes crear) Este episodio es el segundo de un bloque de cuatro semanas sobre sistemas de negocio. El anterior fue Un paso a la vez, de Mike Michalowicz. La semana que viene: Reclama tu tiempo, de Dan Martel.

AI is redefining what's possible for experienced entrepreneurs who are willing to think differently, experiment, and take risks again. Dan Sullivan and Steve Krein explore how AI multiplies both success and dysfunction, why the real edge now belongs to seasoned founders, and how to use AI so your future is bigger than your past. Show Notes: Many successful entrepreneurs start avoiding situations where they could fail, believing they've already had all the breakthroughs they need. The real risk isn't AI itself, but refusing to reinvent how your entrepreneurial life and AI work together. Like the internet in the mid-‘90s, AI can multiply the success you're already achieving if you choose to engage with it. The comforts of time, money, and experience can quietly erode your willingness to take the risks that create your next breakthroughs. The advantage is shifting toward older, more experienced entrepreneurs who combine decades of judgment and pattern recognition with AI's raw intelligence. AI is even surprising its creators, which means there's no established playbook—only entrepreneurs willing to think and experiment. A fast-growing group of entrepreneurial 10‑ to 20‑year‑olds is bypassing formal education and building businesses directly with AI. Experience plus AI creates a “jetpack effect,” letting seasoned entrepreneurs take ideas much further and much faster than ever before.

What keeps an entrepreneur motivated after the money, recognition, and early goals have already been achieved? Rory sits down with Dan Sullivan, co-founder of Strategic Coach, to talk about the mindset and decisions that have kept him growing after more than 50 years in business. Dan explains why successful people often feel behind, how measuring backward changes your experience of progress, and why entrepreneurs should spend more time working inside their unique ability. They also discuss Who Not How, hiring people who create an immediate impact, using money to buy back time, and the role AI can play in simplifying a business. Dan also shares why he refuses to consider retirement at 82 and why entrepreneurs may need to rethink the deadlines they attach to their biggest goals.
On She Built It®, Brynn MacLennan, product designer, mother of five, and co-founder of Slate, shares how co-managing a dental practice revealed something that couldn't be unseen: even wealthy, educated patients weren't flossing. Not because they didn't care about their health, but because flossing was broken.Brynn shares how she turned that insight into a patented 3-in-1 electric flosser now sold in 870 Target stores, what it took to hit $1M in year one, and the marketing strategies that actually moved the needle, including why dental professional influencers outperform lifestyle influencers for Slate every time. She also talks about the leadership evolution of letting go, the books that changed how she builds her team, and why she thinks founders need to talk more openly about failure. This conversation is for any founder who started with a problem no one else thought was big enough, and turned out to be right.Connect with us:Slate Flosser WebsiteSlate Flosser LinkedInSlate Flosser InstagramBrynn MacLennan LinkedInBrynn MacLennan InstagramThe Day I Realized Oral Health Wasn't Just About Teeth | Brynn MacLennan | TEDxSpokaneWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedInEpisode resources:OuterSignal — Know Every CustomerClaude AIMultipliers, Revised and Updated: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz WisemanWho Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan
Every new technology seems to arrive with a wild promise that it will “change everything,” and AI is no exception. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff explore how technological breakthroughs really create growth; why consumers, not inventors, capture most of the value; and how entrepreneurs can use AI as a practical multiplier instead of a magical fix. Show Notes: There have been about 10 major technological breakthroughs in the last 200 years, and each one arrived with big promises and bold predictions. When it's predicted that something's going to “change everything,” it usually changes only some things, in powerful but often unpredictable ways. The people who profit most from new technologies are usually consumers, not the inventors or platforms. Most consumers use new capabilities to improve what they're already committed to rather than reinventing their entire business or life. When most people start using a new technology, they tap into only part of what it can do, which leaves room for entrepreneurs to use it more strategically. Founders who bet everything on a new creation often push more extreme marketing claims that don't necessarily match what real customers want. Any new technology creates new kinds of problems, especially as you expand your number of locations, platforms, and touchpoints. It's not a bad thing when something gets replaced by something new; that's simply an evolving marketplace and shifting opportunity.

I'm a fan of mind games, because I feel most all of what we experience is just that, a mind game. But I've always helped myself by considering different angles to stories. And today I bring you one I've benefited myself with. You've probably heard of the concept of “10X,” as in 10 Xing your goal. But I want to be clear, today I look at this as a practice or exercise and am not presenting it as what you or I should do. This then is a conversation I'm revisiting with renowned organizational psychologist and author, Dr Benjamin Hardy. I perceive Ben as having great insight into human transformation and a knack for creating clear, contrasting, and innovative messages around concepts we've long grappled with. Along with celebrated business coach, Dan Sullivan they wrote a book titled, 10x is easier than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More By Doing Less. I've altered some of my views on this concept since this talk, but I feel this is a wonderful exercise for anyone to do in order to divest themselves of a lot of clutter we let get in our way and get to what is important for a destination or achievement we desire. You could almost compare it to asking what you would take from your home if you only had 30 minutes till you must evacuate for a flood or fire. This concept can get us super focused and realize what is truly necessary.

Maria Callahan owns a tax advisory firm and has redesigned it around entrepreneurial freedom. Here, she shares how shifting from “professional accountant” to “entrepreneur,” pruning wrong-fit clients, and using Strategic Coach® tools helped her build a lean, right‑fit firm where tax season is calm, her time is protected, and the business supports the life she actually wants. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How boredom led Maria to entrepreneurship.The risks and sacrifices she made to start her own business.What first drew Maria into accounting.Why she enjoys working with taxes and tax planning.How Strategic Coach has been a pivotal part of her life over the past few years. Show Notes: Professional accountants tend to get hardwired to believe there's only one “right” way to do accounting. Strategic Coach members recognize how their industry operates, but deliberately design businesses that operate in a way that makes sense for them. Once you're credentialed, you can choose to be an entrepreneur whose specialty happens to be accounting. The joy of entrepreneurship is focusing on what you love doing, what you're best at, and the clients you love working with. Not every customer or client is right for you, and accepting that lets you eliminate wrong-fit work and stress from your business. Sometimes the best move is to stop offering products or services that distract you from what you do exceptionally well. Real leadership involves making time to think about your business, where it's going, and who will be on the journey with you. Focus Days™ are for money‑making activities, Buffer Days™ are for setup and support work, and Free Days™ are 24 hours with zero work. Either you take Free Days intentionally, or your body will eventually force you to take them. Doing everything yourself is one of the most exhausting and expensive habits an entrepreneur can have. If you never challenge your own beliefs about work and success, you'll never step outside the limits they create. Strategic Coach members learn from each other because they're in different industries but face remarkably similar challenges.

Dan Sullivan turns the tables in this episode of Capability Amplifier by putting Mike Koenigs in the hot seat to explore a new methodology that's changing how founders introduce Ai into their businesses.Mike shares the evolution of his Ai Supersprint, a collaborative process designed to help companies rapidly identify opportunities, create new products, improve marketing, and accelerate team adoption of Ai. Through real-world case studies, he demonstrates how organizations have uncovered new revenue opportunities, built software prototypes, and reshaped their customer messaging in just a few days.Throughout the conversation, Dan challenges Mike to think beyond the technology itself. His coaching shifts the focus toward what really drives transformation: founders, teams, better storytelling, and creating an environment where people can grow alongside rapidly evolving Ai tools.The result is an insightful discussion about leadership, collaboration, and why the future belongs to organizations that humanize Ai instead of fearing it.In this episode, Dan and I break down:How the Ai Supersprint helps founders accelerate innovation and get their teams using Ai in practical, high-value ways.Why every transformation should begin by building on what's already working inside your business.How better storytelling can create stronger customer, investor, and team engagement.Real-world examples of using Ai to uncover new revenue opportunities, build software prototypes, and improve marketing.Why small, carefully selected sprint teams create faster momentum than company-wide initiatives.How Ai can amplify the capabilities of your existing team instead of replacing people.Why founder involvement is the key to successful Ai adoption throughout an organization.The importance of human psychology, collaboration, and leadership as Ai continues to evolve.How organizations can create a culture of continuous learning that grows alongside rapidly advancing Ai technology.If you're exploring how to introduce Ai into your business without overwhelming your team, I think you'll find this conversation valuable.

How She Built a Team of 150 AI Employees Without Letting Anyone Go Look at your to-do list right now. How much of what's on it could be done by something that isn't you? My guest this week, Callan Faulkner, has 30 people on her team and 150 AI employees, and she hasn't let a single person go to make room for them. Callan built The Uncommon Business teaching founders how to hire AI employees, meaning an AI that owns a task or a whole outcome and does it as well as a person would. In three years she's gone from a kitchen-table experiment with ChatGPT to a $19.5 million launch. In this conversation she breaks down exactly how she gets her team to hand the repeatable work to AI and keep only what needs a human, and how you can start doing the same this week. So much of our worth is tied up in effort, in how long something took and how much we carried alone. AI pokes a hole in that story, and for a lot of women it feels like cheating. Callan's reframe: the hours were never what your buyers paid for. Hand off the grunt work and get back the parts of your business only you can grow.
