In episode 304 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the “rules of money” every business coach must know, why being new in a market can be your superpower, and the realities behind popular business myths. The episode combines practical financial wisdom with actionable strategies for business coaches seeking lasting growth and wealth—while reminding listeners that higher-level thinking trumps shortcuts, and focusing on product is the ultimate accelerator. Key Topics Covered The Weight of Local Celebrity and the Power of “New” Karl Bryan compares the pressure faced by athletes like Mitch Marner in their hometowns to the challenges coaches feel when becoming “local legends.” Being new in a market is reframed as a hidden advantage—fresh faces wield a psychological “superpower” that can accelerate growth, provided coaches leverage it rather than fear it. Rules of Money for Business Coaches Money is fundamentally “a game of doubles”—constantly look for trajectories to double investments, whether in marketing, skills, or assets. Compounding is a key driver: marginal utility and small improvements across many areas trigger outsized, accelerated results. Patience and “aggressive patience”: real wealth (for you and your clients) is built by “hurrying up and waiting” rather than chasing quick wins or lotteries. Taxes and fees are often ignored but are the #1 expense for most people and require intentional, strategic management. Product, Sales, and Marketing Mastery Success flows from being excellent at your product first—if your service delivers, sales and marketing get dramatically easier. Sales is one-to-one, marketing is one-to-many, but “product” is what truly solves the problem and generates lasting referrals. The classic principle: “You can't sell or market your way out of a bad product.” Standing Against Popular Business Myths Myths like passive income, four-hour workweeks, and “do what you love and make millions” are unpacked as misleading for most coaches. Instead, the actionable advice is to become extremely good at your craft, focus on profit margins, and fall in love with what you do best. Selecting Ideal Coaching Clients Your ideal client is “you, five years ago,” and those with strong profit margins. Focus on helping highly coachable, successful people, not just anyone willing to pay. Beware of spreading yourself thin with multiple streams of income before your main business is thriving. Notable Quotes “Being new is like a superpower—like new, sex, and chocolate.” “Money is a game of doubles… have a path to turn $1,000 into $2,000.” “You can't sell and market your way out of a bad product.” “Needing nothing attracts everything.” “If you buy stuff, you end up with stuff. Not needing something is the same as having it.” “If you can sell, you can't coach. If you can coach, you can't sell.” “Play big. The anxiety isn't from overwhelm—it's from knowing you're capable of more.” Actionable Takeaways Leverage Your “Newness”: Don't be afraid to enter new markets; position yourself as the fresh expert to stand out and attract attention. Focus on Doubling and Compounding: Aim to double the outcomes of every investment—financial, time, or client results. Teach your clients about the magic of compounding: small, smart improvements in multiple areas add up fast. Be Aggressively Patient: “Hurry up and wait”—apply urgency in action, but patience in expecting results. Master Your Product: Strive to be the absolute best and (eventually) the only choice in your niche. Constantly refine your coaching deliverables and operating systems to make getting clients effortless by reputation and results. Prioritize the Right Clients: Go after highly coachable, growth-minded, and profitable clients—ideally, those you were like 5 years ago. Challenge “Feel-Good” Myths: Don't get distracted by gimmicks promising fast wins or easy lifestyles. Focus on skill-building, operational leverage, and real profitability. Understand Your Real Expenses: Taxes, fees, and interest are the true drains on wealth—work with pros and educate yourself to minimize them for you and your clients.

Listeners are encouraged to clarify their own controllable factors to gain focus and resilience.

Building systems and relationships around shared support fosters sustainable success. Business Chaos is Often Personal Chaos: Many external challenges reflect unresolved internal conflicts. Addressing the personal side of leadership often unlocks the solutions to business problems. One action small business owners can take: According to Will Samson, one action a small business owner should take is to make a list dividing what they can control and what they can't—this simple exercise brings clarity, reduces overwhelm, and empowers focused, intentional decision-making.

Vanessa unpacks how these findings support the protein leverage hypothesis, how they apply to real-life fat loss and body recomposition for women, and why increasing protein may be the missing link for anyone stuck in a weight loss plateau.

I've said it before—agents who ignore AI are going to get left behind. While in Cabo with our top producers, I sat down with my friend Tiffani Marroquin, an AI consultant who's been in the real estate game since 2007. She's now helping agents and brokerages become more efficient by using AI the right way—without getting overwhelmed by shiny objects or wasting money on tools they don't need. In this conversation, we dig into exactly how agents can use AI to save time, create better content, generate more leads, and streamline operations. Tiffany lays out how to build a custom GPT that actually sounds like you, how to train your virtual assistant, and how to identify which tasks you should automate—plus which still need a human touch. If you're serious about growing your business and protecting your time, this is the edge you've been looking for. Check out Tiffany's programs at seekaire.com.

In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sit down with Kyra Tillman, third-generation owner of BTM Industries. When Kyra returned to the family shop, she inherited more than just machines—she inherited decades of “this is how we've always done it.”  What she's done since is nothing short of a transformation. With grit, grace, and a serious knack for finding and using resources, Kyra has turned a quiet, closed-door machine shop into a vibrant, collaborative, culture-driven powerhouse—one where growth and fun coexist, Nerf guns included. We dig deep into how she transitioned the shop from old-school processes and undocumented tribal knowledge into a modern, ISO-certified job shop with an eye toward continued growth. Kyra shares candidly about the challenges of taking over from her father, navigating culture change, building an apprenticeship program, and leveraging MEP grants and peer groups to grow her business and team. This conversation is a roadmap for any shop owner who's been putting off change, underestimating the power of collaboration, or unsure where to start when it comes to scaling smarter—not just bigger.  Kyra's journey proves that transformation doesn't require perfection—it requires community, commitment, and a willingness to be both humble and hungry. Whether you're a next-gen leader or seasoned veteran, this episode is full of the kind of real talk and actionable advice that'll get you thinking differently.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage.  Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step.  What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery.  Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.  Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,200+ strong.

My guest today is Keith Nester, a former pastor who spent over 20 years in ministry—until one verse changed everything. When he heard Jesus say in Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” he knew it wasn't symbolic. Embracing that truth meant losing his ministry, his income, and nearly his marriage.He resisted at first, but as liberalism overtook his denomination, he realized only Church tradition could stand firm. Today, Keith helps others find their way home. His mission: unite Christians in truth and reignite a deep love for scripture and Christ's teachings. He's living proof that following truth is worth everything.NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower, Tyler McBrien, and Kevin Frazier to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Aliens vs. Predators.” Despite forceful legal pushback—including by the U.S. Supreme Court—the Trump administration is working hard to continue its campaign to remove foreign aliens it accuses of pursuing a “predatory incursion” from the country using the Alien Enemies Act.
