"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote, decide everything." - Joseph StalinOn another culture content edition of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is back to discuss leadership acting like leaders and not like dictators. Delegating is a primary skill for any leader to possess, but depending on how that delegating takes place, it is possible for an element of tyranny to slip in. In order to make sure that doesn't happen, Jay has a few thoughts on the subject and by the end of this discussion, we think you'll be able to delegate in a way that encourages rather than creates animosity. We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 392 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Craig and Peter discuss the evolving landscape of dentistry, emphasizing the importance of community, personal goals, and the transition from clinical practice to business ownership. The discussion highlights the potential for growth and opportunity within the dental field, encouraging dentists to redefine their identities and seek fulfillment beyond traditional roles. They touch on the journey of finding balance between clinical work and personal happiness, the significance of self-inventory, and the need for supportive networks to navigate career transitions. TAKEAWAYS Dentistry is beautiful. It's like a snowflake. There's a lot of shame around leaving clinical practice. You can be a true dental business owner without picking up a handpiece. Your career as a dentist is tied to your identity. Many dentists feel trapped in their clinical roles. Exploring new skills can reignite passion in dentistry. Authenticity in practice is crucial for personal satisfaction. Community support can significantly impact career fulfillment. Burnout can often be misidentified as a desire to leave clinical work. Self-inventory helps clarify what brings joy and what detracts from it. Delegating tasks can enhance overall job satisfaction. It's important to reassess your career path periodically. Seeking mentorship can guide transitions.

Welcome to The Lindsey Anderson Show! In today's episode, I talk with Ral West, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience. We address a problem that many entrepreneurs face: starting out with dreams of freedom, only to end up overwhelmed and burnt out by their businesses.We share how building systems, slowing down to speed up, and shifting your mindset can help you get out of the weeds and scale your business. If you're feeling stuck in the grind and want to break free, this episode is for you.Guest Introduction:Ral is the creator of the Overcome and Overwhelm framework, which helps entrepreneurs free up time, reduce stress, and build businesses that support their desired lifestyle. Ral's personal success story includes scaling and selling a business to Alaska Airlines, and she's now focused on investing in small cruise ships and multifamily real estate. Ral is passionate about helping entrepreneurs stop doing everything themselves and start building sustainable, profitable businesses.Building a Business That Runs Without You - Key Takeaways:Start with Systems: Ral's number one principle is to establish systems. Take stock of your daily tasks and identify which ones can be automated or delegated.Delegate Repetitive Tasks: Tasks like email follow-ups, appointment scheduling, and billing are prime candidates for delegation or automation.Automate and Use Technology: Leverage tools like AI, virtual assistants, and CRM systems to streamline your operations and save time.Work on Your Business, Not In It: Instead of micromanaging every aspect, focus on creating systems that allow your business to run smoothly without you.Seize Opportunities: Ral emphasizes the importance of being adaptable and seizing new opportunities, even when they don't align with your original business plan.The Challenges Entrepreneurs Face:As entrepreneurs, we often feel trapped by our daily operations. We struggle to scale, innovate, or keep up with our long-term vision due to a lack of systems and processes. Overwhelm becomes a common issue, leading to burnout and frustration.Key Quotes:“We were limiting the growth of the business because we couldn't do all of it, and we couldn't direct every single aspect of the business.”“The business model should support your life, not the other way around.”“Can you afford not to delegate and create systems? What are you leaving on the table in terms of revenue, health, and mental wellbeing?”“There's so much you can delegate. If you're not slowing down to speed up and taking the time to write it down, there are gaps in your time you don't even know about.”The Importance of Delegation:Ral really emphasizes the importance of good delegation and letting go of control. “You need to learn how to delegate in a way that's clearly outlined, focusing on the outcome rather than how it's done.” Delegating tasks allows the business to grow beyond the owner's capacity, and it's a crucial step for scalability.Addressing Pushback:Many entrepreneurs push back, saying they can't afford to hire help or don't have the time to build systems. Ral challenges that mindset with, “Can you afford not to?” She explains that failing to delegate leads to burnout, poor health, and missed opportunities. By delegating and automating, we free up time and increase the business's potential.Actionable Steps for Entrepreneurs:Step 1: Take stock of your tasks. Identify which tasks are repetitive and can be delegated or automated.Step 2: Document your processes. Write down the steps for tasks like follow-ups, scheduling, and...

Join us for a discussion about the importance of building in systems when you have ADHD and run a business. Justin Vajko is the founder of Dialog With Us. One of my favorite parts of the interview is when Justin shared his systems to help him support his ADHD. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview: 1. Content creation system Justin Vajko shares his content creation system that helps him consistently produce and publish content for his business. The system involves recording himself during client calls and podcasts, automatically uploading the recordings to Dropbox, and then having his team clip, write, and publish the content. This system helps Justin overcome his ADHD-related challenges with consistent content creation. Watch the 5 minute Systems Segment on YouTube 2. ADHD and building systems He discusses how his ADHD has impacted his work and life, and the importance of building systems to compensate for his weaknesses. He shares how he discovered his ADHD in high school and has since developed many systems and routines, like dedicated weekly time with his wife and friends, to help him stay organized and productive. .4 Delegating and reviewing work We discuss the importance of delegating tasks that play to one's strengths, and the challenges of building effective review processes. Justin acknowledges that reviewing work is a weakness for him, and they explore strategies for finding the right people to handle that responsibility. 5. Celebrating wins and expressing gratitude The conversation turns to the importance of celebrating wins and expressing gratitude, which Justin has struggled with in the past. They discuss how Justin's entrepreneurial mindset and ADHD can make it difficult to pause and appreciate progress, and the value of building systems to ensure consistent recognition of achievements. 6. Mentors and lessons learned He reflects on a former boss, John Eilie, who provided him with significant grace and support early in his career as he learned to build systems and overcome the challenges of his ADHD. He expresses gratitude for John's patience and guidance, which laid the foundation for Justin's current success. Key Takeaways: Justin leverages his ADHD as a strength in entrepreneurship, developing systems to compensate for challenges.Delegation and building a supportive team are crucial for managing ADHD-related struggles in business.Self-awareness and open communication about work styles help improve leadership and team dynamics.Systematic review processes and celebration of wins are areas for potential improvement in Justin's business Learn more about Justin Vajko over at Dialog Video Marketing.

Guest: Justin Toomey Guest Bio: Justin founded SVN | Toomey Property Advisors in 2019, bringing a national full-service commercial real estate firm to Mobile, Alabama. Since expanding into property management in 2022, the company now manages over 903 multifamily units and 30,000 square feet of retail space. Under Justin's leadership, the company achieved 268% revenue growth by the end of 2024, a testament to his strategic vision and innovative approach. As a licensed real estate broker in five states, he has earned national recognition, including the SVN Achievers Award (2021–2024), Costar Power Broker Award (2019), and being named one of The Bay Magazine's 40 Under 40 (2025). Key Points: Journey into Commercial Real Estate: Despite his father's warnings about the industry's difficulties, the Justin pursued a career in commercial real estate, earning a license at 19 and a broker's license after college in 2011. He worked with his father until 2014, then moved to Sterling Properties to expand his knowledge in other areas of real estate, like retail and markets outside Mobile. Founding SVN Toomey Property Advisors: Justin founded his own company after learning valuable lessons at Sterling Properties, despite knowing the risks and challenges. He faced significant losses in 2020 but continued working hard during the pandemic, learning from mistakes, and adapting to growth. Challenges and Rewards in Commercial Real Estate: The commercial real estate industry is challenging, with long sales cycles and constant rejection. Success requires perseverance, working hard despite setbacks, and managing expectations. Justin values the autonomy and flexibility in the industry but emphasizes that it requires working far beyond a typical 40-hour week to achieve success. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Be resilient in the face of setbacks, working harder than others, and build discipline in everyday tasks. Don't try to do everything yourself, especially when starting out, and fearing failure. Delegating tasks and understanding the limits of your role is crucial. Business Growth and Success: Despite a rough start in 2020, the company grew by 268% in 2021 and continued to see around 100% growth annually since then. Growth was driven by learning from mistakes, expanding services, and adding new market segments, including multifamily and retail management. Managing a Team: Justin faces challenges with managing independent contractors (1099s) who don't have the same level of control as employees. He emphasizes the importance of communication, drive, dedication, and consistency within the team, often relying on shared calendars and teamwork to keep things running smoothly. Struggles with ensuring consistency in sales meetings but recognizes the value of collaboration among team members on deals. Hiring Strategy: Justin tends to hire individuals with no prior experience in the industry, believing they are more coachable and aligned with the company's values, especially cold calling. He avoids hiring senior brokers with established businesses as they can be harder to integrate into the company culture and may resist change.

It's time to face your fear of letting go. Becoming comfortable with delegation is one of the most game changing shifts you can make in your business. The longer you stay stuck in your inbox, the longer your vision gets pushed to the side, and the faster you'll get burnt out. It can be scary to put your trust into someone else and let them fully support you, but don't let that stop you from taking the leap. In this episode, I'm sharing why delegating is so important for your business, and I'm also revealing tips that will help you achieve it with greater ease. In this episode, you will learn about: The type of businesses where delegating is absolutely necessary. Why staying stuck in your inbox is killing your business. What you miss out on when you don't delegate (and how it's worse the longer it takes). The hurdles that kept me from hiring support for way too long. How to measure success in your business (hint: it's not in your inbox). How to set up the people you hire for success. Strategies for keeping your worst fears about delegation from coming true. The first step you can take towards delegating—and it's not hiring. The importance of trusting the process when you lean into delegating.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Jonathan Nichols is a real estate investor and co-founder of Apogee Capital, based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Formerly an aerospace engineer, Jonathan transitioned into multifamily real estate in 2019 and has since acquired eight multifamily properties and one self-storage facility totaling 1,000 units. He brings an analytical, systems-based approach to acquisitions and asset management, leveraging his engineering background to scale strategically in Texas and Oklahoma. Get ready for REWBCON 2025, happening from April 10th to 12th! Use my code JOHN at checkout for 10% off your ticket. Key Takeaways: Transitioning from aerospace engineering to full-time real estate investor was driven by a desire for entrepreneurship and dissatisfaction with corporate ceilings. Strategic scaling includes focusing on one area of real estate—acquisitions, capital raising, or asset management—before trying to juggle all three. Jonathan emphasizes using project-based virtual help and the “Buy Back Your Time” principle to grow the business efficiently. His current investment focus is on B-class multifamily properties in both primary and tertiary Texas and Oklahoma markets. Jonathan believes in leveraging partnerships, staying lean, and maximizing operational efficiency over aggressive expansion. Topics: From Aerospace to Real Estate Passion for entrepreneurship and systems-thinking led Jonathan to real estate. His corporate experience built a solid foundation for data-driven decision-making and risk management. The Launch of Apogee Capital Started with single-family investing before moving into multifamily. Made the full-time leap after successfully completing two major deals and having a third under contract. Making the Jump from W-2 to Full-Time Investing Used a “point of no return” analogy to describe the moment he had to commit fully. Recommended having proof of concept and income before making the transition. Encourages consulting mentors and a trusted circle before leaving a day job. Time Management and Scaling Up Leveraging tools like the Buy Back Your Time method to maximize productivity. Hiring project-based VAs for tasks like web design helped free up his bandwidth. Delegating wisely and tracking what truly moves the needle is critical to long-term success. Market Shifts and Strategy Adjustments Previously focused on Oklahoma and other tertiary markets due to DFW competition. Now sees Dallas as a market ready for reentry due to softening rents and increased vacancies. Transitioning from C-class to B-class assets to reduce CapEx risk and improve asset quality. Structure and Operations Jonathan and his wife divide duties: he focuses on acquisitions; she handles asset management. Portfolio ranges from 75 to 170 units, with a preference for properties large enough to support full on-site teams. Long-term vision includes vertical integration but currently partners with third-party managers.
