Podcasts about doer

In this episode, I address key person risk for founders and CEOs, highlighting the importance of not having the business hinge on a single leader. I discuss strategies for creating robust systems and empowering teams to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance business value for investors. As a CEO coach, I emphasize transitioning to a team-driven culture that fosters stability and effective communication. I provide actionable insights to help leaders build sustainable growth that persists beyond their involvement.

A company that cannot operate smoothly without its leader signals higher risk, which typically leads to lower valuation multiples. Gene challenges leaders to ask themselves a tough question: If you're the most valuable person in your company, how valuable is the company itself? Moving from Doer to Leader Reducing key person risk requires a shift in leadership identity. Instead of being the primary driver of sales, marketing, or operations, CEOs must transition from task-focused work to people-focused leadership. This shift can be uncomfortable. Founders often feel they can do things faster or better themselves, which keeps them stuck in daily execution. But long-term growth depends on developing decision-makers across the organization. Gene describes this transition as crossing a "leadership ravine" — moving from hands-on contributor to strategic leader who builds systems, confidence, and problem-solving capacity in others. Building a Company That Runs Without You A business becomes more valuable when it is team-driven rather than founder-dependent. Investors and buyers look for: Strong leadership at multiple levels Clear communication and alignment systems Accountability structures Empowered employees who make decisions Processes that continue generating customers and results without the CEO's involvement When these elements are in place, the company can operate smoothly even if the founder steps away — dramatically increasing scalability and valuation potential.

Hey Team! Most of us with ADHD have fallen into the trap of thinking that if we just work a little harder or do a few more things, we'll finally feel like we have our lives under control. But it turns out that "doing" and "leading" are two very different skill sets, and being a world-class "doer" can actually keep you stuck in place. Today, I'm talking with Katy McFee, an executive coach and the founder of Insights to Action. Katy reached the highest levels of corporate leadership before realizing that her success was built on a "doer" mentality that was no longer serving her, especially after her later in life ADHD diagnosis. In our conversation today, we're looking at why that "doer identity" can be such a common pitfall for ADHD brains and how it can lead to burnout instead of progress. We talk about Katy's journey with a late-in-life diagnosis and how that shift in perspective allowed her to stop masking and start building systems that actually worked for her Combined-Type ADHD. Whether you're running a household, a small business, or a massive department, the way Katy frames the transition from tactical "doing" to strategic "being" is something we can all use. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/273 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Recognize when you are trying to "outwork" your ADHD by doing more tasks. We don't always have to be the person doing everything; instead, we can focus on thinking strategically about what needs to be done and focus on doing those most important things. Give yourself explicit permission to stop pretending you work like a neurotypical person. You can reduce your cognitive load from "faking it" and free up energy for actually doing things the way they work for your brain. Instead of just using a calendar, use systems that visualize the passage of time and the weight of your commitments. Often time blindness can hit us not only in the moment, but also while were in the planning phase, when we don't realize how much we're really taking on.

Stop Promoting Your Best Employees Without Training Them to Lead Growing companies hit a predictable wall when their star employees get promoted to management positions without proper training. Ryan Castle, co-founder of Level 10 Leaders, joined The Right-Hand Roadmap to tackle this common entrepreneurial business challenge head-on. After working with over 250 organizations, Castle has identified the gap that stops companies from scaling: while visionary founders and Integrators may excel at leadership, they often struggle to develop the next layer of managers. Most businesses take their best doers, slap a manager title on them, and hope for the best, creating bottlenecks and overwhelmed Seconds-in-Command who end up co-managing departments instead of leading strategically.  You'll hear all about: 02:07 - What Level Ten Leaders does and how they help entrepreneurial companies scale leadership across the organization 03:18 - The difference between leadership (doing the right things) and management (doing things right), and why entrepreneurial founders often excel at one but not both 06:18 - The biggest mistake companies make: promoting top performers without teaching them how to lead, creating a capability gap between executives and managers 10:19 - The Peter Principle problem and why being great at a job doesn't automatically mean someone will be a great manager 13:54 - Navigating the transition from peer to manager while maintaining relationships 16:06 - Why second-in-commands and managers have the toughest jobs in organizations 19:00 - The player-coach dilemma: balancing individual contributor work with management responsibilities 20:42 - Transformation story: how Level Ten's program changed a "blame guy" into a valued team member 22:26 - Advice for second-in-commands: stop being a bottleneck and delegate to create leverage 26:16 - How to connect with Level Ten Leaders and get a free copy of "The Active Manager" book   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

James has been taking us on a guided tour of what it looks like to live as a “Doer of the Word” (1:22). In Chapter 2, he showed us how doing the Word shapes how we see each other (without partiality) and serve each other (see a need, meet a need). Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. This week, James gives us the final two reasons why we must seek to tame our tongues. As he says in this text, “the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity.” This week, we begin to not only understand the truth of that statement, but we will also begin considering how to put that fire out!

Why do ad platforms like Meta and Google claim credit for sales they didn't actually generate? Scott Desgrossilliers explains why relying on ad platform data is like letting the "fox watch the henhouse" and how it leads businesses to burn cash on ineffective campaigns. In this interview, Scott and Sean discuss the complexities of multi-touch attribution, why you need an unbiased "source of truth" for your data, and how to lower your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by feeding better signals back to ad algorithms. They also dive into the reality of buying a business vs. starting one, the importance of hiring for "grit," and why YouTube subscribers might be a vanity metric if you don't have an email list.

“Believe” is an important word in St. John's lexicon. It was used nearly 100 times in his Gospel and 9 more times in his first New Testament letter. Of course, John wrote in Greek and our English word may not capture the fullness of John's meaning, but it still reveals the fact that “believe” is a present tense action verb. The leper in the Gospel, who Matthew describes as “full of leprosy,” believed that Jesus had the power to heal him and he acted on that belief.  On a deeper level - and John's writings always have many layers - the leper's cleansing is a sign intended to point beyond the act itself. Turning water into wine, for example, or raising Lazarus from the tomb is meant to focus our attention more on the Doer rather than the deed. These events, as wonderful and extraordinary as they are, are meant to stir in us, in the words of scripture scholar E.A. Blum (1985), an active, continuous, and vital trust in Jesus. The man in the Gospel did not resign himself to suffering. He desired to be healed and sought out the only Person who could make it happen.  It is the same Jesus today that healed the man on that Galilean road. It is the same Jesus who knows that we carry our burdens around for far too long. And the healing that Jesus offers does not stop with the physical. He also heals our emotional and spiritual isolation. We become light for others through the gift of believing that Jesus wants to make us whole. And it is not just some of us, it is all of us.  Perhaps Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years as a political prisoner in South Africa and went on to become their President and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, said it best: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us the most. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  Christmas Blessings to All,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.  

Today, I'm sitting down with Larry Walshe, founder of Larry Walshe Studios, a global event design firm producing large-scale, luxury weddings and private events for ultra-high-net-worth families, celebrities, and royal households.

His studio designs fully customized experiences—shaping the creative vision, transforming spaces, and defining how guests experience an event—while bringing together specialized artisans from around the world to execute complex, high-stakes productions. In this episode, Larry breaks down what it actually takes to build and protect a premium brand at the top end of the market, how he orchestrates massive productions with a small team, and why learning to say no early was essential to attracting the right clients and scaling without lowering the bar. If you're building a service business or premium brand and want a clearer sense of what it takes to operate at the highest level, this conversation offers a grounded look at how that kind of work actually gets done.   Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 00:55 Why Saying No Builds a Luxury Brand 03:28 Don't Chase Revenue That Dilutes Your Brand 07:08 Consistency Is the Real Competitive Edge 08:20 Why High-End Clients Pay 10X More 13:07 Defining the Client You Actually Want 17:24 How to Shift Into a Higher-Paying Client Category 19:37 Inside Multimillion-Dollar Events 22:10 Running Global Operations With a Small Team 26:23 Becoming the Creative Director, Not the Doer 33:01 Managing Clients Who Want the Wrong Thing 35:03 The Sales Approach That Works at the Top End 40:02 When to Walk Away From Work 45:04 Handling Last-Second Client Demands 52:00 The Non-Negotiable's of Elite Client Work 57:15 Larry's Advice for Founders Moving Upmarket     Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kmYqmgFjDIM     Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

Be Doers of the Word: Living Out James 1:22 Podcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Show: Servants of Grace Podcast Network Episode Summary Many Christians are surrounded by Bible content. We read Scripture, listen to sermons, podcasts, and teachings, yet often struggle to actually apply what we hear. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through James 1:22 and the call to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. We look at why hearing without obedience leads to self-deception, how the Holy Spirit helps us, and practical steps for putting Scripture into practice in everyday life. Listen to the Episode Audio Player Video Player Key Scripture James 1:22 – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22–25 John 15–16 Matthew 22:39 Selected passages from Proverbs on wisdom and understanding Episode Highlights 1. Hearing Versus Doing Many Christians regularly hear Scripture, but James draws a clear line between hearing and doing. Hearing alone can create an illusion of spiritual growth if it is never translated into action. Illustration: reading an instruction manual but never assembling the furniture, the knowledge does not produce the intended result. 2. The Danger of Self Deception James warns that those who hear the Word without doing it “deceive” themselves. James 1:23–24 compares this to looking in a mirror, then walking away and forgetting what you saw. It is possible to confuse exposure to truth with obedience to truth. 3. Doctrine That Leads to Life Doctrine is teaching, and the source of sound doctrine is the Word of God. Sound doctrine is meant to lead to sound living, it should shape decisions, relationships, work, home, and church life. This applies to every believer, whether or not you have formal theological training. 4. Wisdom, Understanding, and Application Scripture gives us both wisdom and understanding. Wisdom knows that God's Word is true and trustworthy. Understanding asks how this truth applies to our hearts, our habits, our relationships, and our witness. James reads like New Testament wisdom literature, calling us to bring truth home into every area of life. 5. The Blessing of Obedience James 1:25 speaks of the one who looks into the perfect law, perseveres, and acts. That person “will be blessed in his doing.” Obedience is not a cold checklist, it is the fruit of union with Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. True obedience begins in the heart and results in real change in how we live, love, forgive, and stand firm in the truth. 6. Practical Ways to Be a Doer of the Word Start small: When you read a passage, identify one concrete way to respond in your day. Obey in the ordinary: Look for everyday places to apply Scripture, in your home, work, church, and private life. Reflect, then act: Before you close your Bible or finish a sermon, ask, “What is one thing I can do with this truth this week?” See Scripture as personal and sufficient: God has given His Word to address your grief, suffering, joy, anxiety, and daily decisions. Grow in application for the sake of others: As you learn to apply God's Word to your own heart, you will grow in evangelism, discipleship, and counseling others. Reflection and Application Where in your life have you been mostly a hearer of the Word rather than a doer? What is one passage of Scripture that God keeps bringing to mind that you need to obey today? How can you build a simple habit of asking, “How should I live differently because of what I just read or heard?” Who in your life might benefit from you gently sharing how God is teaching you to apply His Word?

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the 3 types of women on a wellness journey—the Doer, the Recognizer, and the ‘I'm fine' woman—so you can identify where you are, what it may be costing you, and why chemical exposure in the home matters more than most people realize. We all carry a toxic load—your body's total “exposure workload”—and it can quietly contribute to symptoms you may not connect to your home life yet. This is the missing piece that can support your goals without overhauling your whole life—or you becoming the ‘ingredient police.'

In Chapter 2, he showed us how doing the Word shapes how we see each other (without partiality) and serve each other (see a need, meet a need). Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. Join us this Sunday as we start a new section in the book of James. Being a Doer of the Word in 2026 means speaking words that are aligned with God's Word. James 3 will teach us how to tame our tongues and speak as Jesus spoke.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly introduce an interesting idea. You are two people in one. There is the do'er you and there is the observer you. John points out that this is a powerful way to look at your life from a 30,000 foot view. And it is particularly appropriate for someone doing the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. That's the case because the observer you took the life GPS template and with the conscious mind created your desired life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you're going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Again, all conscious mind involving the observer you.Then for 12 minutes a day, when you read your life GPS template, you got everybody on the team together at the same time. The life GPS template is instructing the doer side of you on exactly what you want done. Giving all the specifics. But while you are reading your life GPS template, the observer you is also evaluating it. Deciding if there's any tweaks to it. And factoring in that the observer you actually created the life GPS template and customized it to your unique life. When you really think about this idea it really puts your life in perspective. And more than anything else, at the end of that you're really an observer of your life. When we talk about who YOU are, you're really the observer of your life. Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Construction BD expert Ken Harms joins me to break down the rise of the Doer–Seller model — a relationship-driven approach where project managers and superintendents help win work by serving clients, asking better questions, and building long-term trust. We unpack how owners' expectations have shifted, why the rainmaker era is over, how to train introverted technical pros to engage confidently, and why firms that ignore this model will be trapped in low-bid work. If you want more negotiated work, more repeat clients, and teams who know how to build trust on and off the job, this episode delivers the roadmap.

Notice your patterns. If you over-do, over-give, over-function or over-explain, takers see that as an invitation. Not because you are weak. Because you are reliable. Start noticing where you go past your own limits.   Get honest about what drains you. Your time. Your money. Your emotional labor. Your peace. Clarity is power.   You cannot fix everyone. You cannot rescue everyone. You cannot be the emotional first responder for adults who refuse to carry their own weight. Do not keep giving to people who keep taking.  Choose reciprocity.   Invest your best energy in people who pour back, listen well, and honor your space.Support the show

Most business owners start their companies for freedom, but end up becoming prisoners of their own success. They spend every day putting out fires, managing people, and juggling tasks that drain their energy. What if the secret to growth wasn't working harder—but working less? In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, Mike Abramowitz sits down with Derek Fredrickson, founder of The COO Solution, who helps entrepreneurs scale by installing systems, empowering people, and freeing up owners to lead instead of do.
