Michael Wedaa  - Augmentus Business Solutions On the Keeping the Details Correct: "If your address is your old business address with the Secretary of State or with the IRS or on one of the credit bureaus, there's an algorithm in a lot of banks that will give you an automatic denial." Money makes the world go 'round, and it does that by flowing.  Money in your business, money out to employees, vendors, investments, and the ever present tax-man. But what if you could shuffle your money a bit to be able to improve the flow to the good things to build your business and your net worth and reduced the amount going to the less than good things?  Would you want to learn how to reduce your tax burden, limit your liability and build your business credit?? The crazy thing is, a lot of these strategies are simple and effective.  The crazier thing is that many entrepreneurs don't know about them or feel they are too small for it to matter. It matters. Michael Wedaa is the owner of Augmentus Business Solutions.  Their purpose is to help businesses navigate the game of business to make and keep more money.  He understands the nuances and differences between things like LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and how you want your different business entities to be structured. Listen as Michael goes into detail on business credit, taxes and business entity differences. Enjoy!

As you know, we focus on helping people get the most out of their corporation or llc. And one of the ways we help people do that is by helping them build business credit.

The business credit, I believe, is the main one. So let's just start out with what is business credit? Michael Wedaa [00:01:01]: Great. No, first off, James, it's great to spend some time with you again. It's been a while since we last. James Kademan [00:01:06]: Chatted, but it has, you know, it's funny. I'll just elude here a little bit. YouTube is moving into shorts and all that jazz because they're trying to compete with all the other social media things that have short videos. And so we just got fancy software, whatever to find shorts. And it's interesting because some interviews, you're like, yeah, there's a handful. And yours is like, ba, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. All good stuff. So I'm so happy that we have you on here a second time because, well, good.

Tracy Anderson  - Big Brother Big Sisters of Dane County On the Value of Being a Mentor to a Kid: "When you spend time with a child, it's shown to prove that they'll likely go to college when they grow up or have a better paying job or not partake in violence, alcohol or drugs." As entrepreneurs, we strive to do our best every day.  We push and drag ourselves, our employees, our clients and our vendors to join us in growing our business.  We do all of this for many reasons, but for many of us, that reason is based on two words, Growth and Freedom. What is interesting is that not everyone has that mindset, or has even had the opportunity to be exposed to that mindset.  Not everyone knows that you can do and be better.  Some people simply have not been shown all of the opportunity they really have. That is one of the reasons I became a Big, with Big Brothers Big Sisters and why we are lucky to have Tracy Anderson, of BBBS Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin to chat with us about the difference a mentor can make. Tracy explains what all Big Brothers Big Sisters does for kids, adults, the community and society at large.  All of this rolling around the idea of people sharing time, experience and ideas with each other, thinly veiled as just having fun hanging out. If you have ever wondered how you could make a difference in the world, as a way to show gratitude for the success you have achieved, I'd highly suggest becoming a Big. Listen as Tracy explains what it takes to be a Big and the challenges Big Brothers Big Sisters has continued to overcome, just like any business.  Often success can be measured by a bank account, more importantly, it can be measured in smiles and expanding the opportunity that you were lucky enough to learn about.

So it's all about spending that one on one time. It truly makes a difference. And when you spend time with a child, we create new matches, ages 6 to 13. Another great reason why mentorship works. I mean, you're getting out of a different environment and you're being asked to do things that you know are going to help you when you become an adult.

James Kademan [00:01:01]: I've been a big. I guess I'm not technically a Big anymore, but I was a Big with Danny. We got connected when he was 11. Tracy Anderson [00:01:08]: Okay. James Kademan [00:01:08]: So it's like I said, is almost forever. It's been a while.

Therese Merkel - Tricky Foods On the the Goal of Being a Business OWNER and not a Business OPERATOR: "How do I build a machine that works without me so that I can still be involved in this business, but I'm not the one working Friday, Saturdays and weekends?" The food business can be tricky.  You've got health codes to deal with, so people don't get sick.  You've got the whole issue of spoilage, so you need to keep product moving.  Then you've got the fluctuating prices of your ingredients.  Add in the challenges of employees, and property and customers and different tastes and you have a very challenging business. That is why it is so incredible to chat with people like Therese Merkel, of Tricky Foods. Therese Merkel always loved cooking and has brought that passion to her charcuterie board business for Madison, Wisconsin (soon the world) visitors to love. Therese's journey from a traditional tech career at Epic to building a thriving cheese and charcuterie business is filled with twists, hustle, and a whole lot of Wisconsin pride. She shares how she turned her culinary passion, and a timely Instagram trend, into a storefront that's more than just a stop for cheese boards.  She added a wine and beer bar, event space, and catering hub that celebrates all things local. In this candid conversation, Therese opens up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, from bootstrapping her business with just $10,000, to navigating Madison's real estate market, negotiating everything from kitchen rent to employee wages, and learning how to build systems that let her step back from day-to-day service and focus on expansion. She discusses the inspiration behind launching shippable charcuterie boards using Wisconsin cheeses, the powerful impact of authentic social media marketing, and the ongoing challenge of scaling up while keeping her signature brand of creativity and local spirit. Listen as Therese explains how she used her persistence, skills, and a bit of luck along with her incredible wit and charm to get things done in such a blisteringly fast way it must be heard from her to be believed.  Therese is nothing less than amazing and you will be inspired after just listening to her tell the tales.

As opposed to using like Harry and David or like 1-800-FLOWERS. They can support a local company and shippable boards that only uses Wisconsin cheeses. And we're from Wisconsin. It just feels like a good way. It. It's serendipitous with like, my feel on community and supporting local and like the. The local economy. Therese Merkel [00:00:19]: Here.

Danielle Burken - Danielle Burken Marketing On the How Marketing with Human Design Helps Your Business: "You're attracting the clients that you want to work with because you are showing up as the version of yourself that really trusts in the work that you're doing." We all have a voice.  In marketing our business, we often try to sugarcoat or use an inauthentic voice that may not really align with us.  Or really even sound anything like us. If you've ever wondered how to find greater alignment in your work, or felt frustrated by “cookie-cutter” marketing formulas that just don't fit for your personality, you won't want to miss this conversation. Danielle shares how she went from running a successful food blog to managing a marketing agency, and ultimately discovered the power of applying human design—a system based on your birth details—to help entrepreneurs market and run their businesses in a way that genuinely feels right for them. James and Danielle dive deep into what human design is, how it differs from traditional personality tests, and why knowing your own design can clear the noise and confusion so common in the modern marketing world. Danielle offers up real-life stories from her own journey and client work, discussing the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of authenticity, and even the tough conversations she faced when leaving her day job to take the leap into business ownership. Listen as Danielle explains how using Human Design can be a great way to bring your own voice into your marketing for your business. Enjoy!

So for audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram, disc assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality type tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. And when we apply it to marketing, business becomes so much easier. James Kademan [00:00:28]: Oh well, easy business is best.

James Kademan [00:01:07]: And you do marketing, but it, it goes a little deeper than that. Danielle Burken [00:01:10]: It does a lot deeper. I do everything through the lens of human design. So. James Kademan [00:01:15]: Okay. Danielle Burken [00:01:16]: For audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram Disc Assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality typ tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. So it's not answering any questions which I feel can sometimes skew your results.

Chris Gantz - Patriot Properties Property Management On the How the Internet Has Changed the Real Estate Industry: "Now you have the democratization of that MLS book, right? So that value is completely gone for the broker because everybody can see everybody everywhere at all times." Investing in Real Estate is often a great way to add to your investment portfolio.  There are a few main ways to invest, and one of them is to own property that you pay for someone else to take care of the property.  This includes preparing the place for rent, marketing the property, and finding some sweet people to rent the place.  Chris Gantz of Patriot Properties knows property management and real estate investing. Unlike the usual interviews with investors and agents, Chris brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective, sharing what it's really like to manage thousands of units across Wisconsin—including multifamily buildings, self-storage, mobile home parks, and short-term rentals. This is the guy doing the things that the other investors pay people to do.  Chris is the real deal and explains in candid detail what you need to look for when hunting for your property manager.  He also discusses a few things to look for in the rental property you are looking to acquire. Chris delves into Patriot Properties' innovative decentralized model, how technology is transforming the industry, and the strategies his team uses to stay ahead of the competition—like same-day showings and rapid application processing. He also explains the challenges and perks of active management, pricing strategies, the ever-evolving rental market, and how landlords can maximize returns in both cash-flow and appreciation-focused markets. Listen as Chris explains tips for finding off-market deals and managing tenant relationships (including some wild stories!). If you're thinking about investing in real estate or want to learn what it takes to truly succeed in property management, you won't want to miss Chris's thoughtful insights and candid stories from the field.

You know the Burr method, right? House hacking, I think that's always a great way. One of the things I've always said is, in my opinion, you know, one of the fastest ways to make money in real estate is to fix and flip. So if you can find the single family home, you're going to live in it, or the duplex, you're going to live in it, fix it up. While you live there, you're putting in all the sweat equity, do as much work as you can. Foreign.

Peter Shankman - Bestselling Author and the Founder of Help A Reporter Out (HARO) On the Value of ADHD in Business: "Faster Than Normal has sort of become the bible for ADHD and the concept that ADHD is a gift, not a curse." The data on entrepreneurs, even C-Suite executives is clear.  We happen to lean towards having ADD or ADHD or some form of attention deficit.  I'd argue it isn't a deficit, it is more short term focus as an advantage, as it allows for thinking fast, moving fast, making faster decisions and overall, accomplishing more. Peter Shankman, author of Faster Than Normal and founder of HARO (Help a Reporter Out) talks with us today about the limitations of ADHD, as well as the value of owning the diagnosis. He takes us through his entrepreneurial journey that includes many startups, some exits and a few great books. Listen as Peter explains all that he has done and how he has been able to do it, despite his label of having ADHD. Enjoy!

Right. And maybe, look, maybe I'm just, you know, naive, but I kind of feel that if you work on something to solve a problem, you'll have much better success than you would if you work on something just to make money from it. Agreed. Money will come if you're doing it for the right reasons, I think is the best way to put it right. And so if you're doing it for the right reasons, the money will come.

Adult friendships are difficult. A big part of that is our built environment, which is often designed in a way that stifles social connection instead of supporting it. Kat Vellos is an author, facilitator, and connection coach who's working to change that.

James Hatfield - LiveSwitch On the Sealing the Deal Conveniently: "And now people are selling home services from the comfort of their call center, comfort of their truck." Sometimes you need to see some things, in order to make sure you can get your client the right stuff.  Most often with contractors that need to give accurate estimates. Someone needs boots on the ground to measure or just see what they're dealing with. But what if you could have the client take some live video, showing you the space and what you need to see?  You'd save time, money and get a better connection with your client, working on their schedule. James Hatfield of LiveSwitch has set up this magic for you and your business.  He explains how the concept came about, how it helps businesses and the challenges that he and his crew had to navigate along the way. Listen as James explains the value of helping clients help themselves, allowing you to provide better value for your clients. Enjoy!

This is actually the reverse of a FaceTime call, meaning if I'm the homeowner and I receive the text now I'm going to see myself large and the salesperson small. So I get to see and the salesperson will have a virtual background. It's all tuned up to do a virtual estimate. And so now the customer can walk through the home and me or if I'm the salesperson in the call center, hey, I'll record everything. The entire video is recorded. I can take remote photos and tap into your camera, take high res photos, take notes, share my screen if I need to walk you through document, hold up your ID if I need a picture of id. And now people are selling home services from the comfort of their call center, comfort of their truck. James Hatfield [00:00:42]: And it's all about speed. To lead.

James Hatfield [00:01:22]: That's right. I'll take you on adventure from me being on a ladder through technology and nonprofits. James Kademan [00:01:27]: Nice. I'm excited because when your crew reached out to me, we actually could have used a service like this during pandemic times. Way back in those days, right. For a hot minute I was working with a guy that was putting together remote window replacement company for your house and getting people to understand how to count their windows. People aren't window experts. This would have really helped so that they could just take a walk with video and the agents on our end could see what they were looking at. So why don't we start with what is the foundation?

Luis Derechin - Nir-Yu (Pronounced 'Near You') On the Building Upon Your Success: "Any successful company is in the continuous improvement process. We identified what we call the Offshore Team Death Trap—seven systemic failures—and built our process to counteract them." Hiring locally can be expensive and you need to pay for a space for that employee to work.  Hire remotely and your costs should go down, but your volume and value of work may suffer, dependent on your employees.  Hire overseas and you end up with vaguely incoherent contractors that do less work than a domestic employee, if you count you saying, "Please repeat that..." about a zillion times.  The answer for some businesses may be Nearshoring.  Hiring contractors that have lived in an English speaking world, but also in a world that allows a dollar to go three or four times as far. Luis Derechin of Nir-Yu has created a company to help you do just that.  Hire, train and utilize a workforce that speaks well and has strong skills at a cost that is a fraction of a domestic employee. Luis dives deep into the world of remote staffing and the art of building international teams. From early candy-selling hustle as a child in Mexico, to founding Mexico's first tech startup to be venture funded by U.S. investors, Luis shares his lifelong journey as an entrepreneur—and reveals the key challenges businesses face when hiring remote employees in Latin America. You'll hear firsthand the pitfalls of remote talent acquisition, the importance of cultural alignment, and how Nir-Yu's “Remote Intelligence Framework” solves issues like the “Offshore Team Death Trap.” James and Luis also get candid about managing teams, navigating language barriers, and why a win-win relationship is essential for international staffing success. Whether you're battling talent shortages, feeling the pinch of rising labor costs, or just curious about building remote teams, this conversation is packed with insight, practical stories, and a bit of entrepreneurial humor. Listen as Luis explains the pros and cons of utilizing a nearshore team and how it may help your business. Enjoy!

Why your body freaks out when you finally get what you asked for   It's not lazy, it's loaded: Karen opens with the myth of the “lazy days of summer” and how midlife is anything but—especially when you're managing multiple people's needs and navigating your own evolution in real time. The 2025 energy shift is real: She reflects on how spiritual teachers, psychologists, and mindset leaders are all noticing a universal sense of “shedding,” awakening, and identity redefinition. Receiving what you've prayed for can rattle your nervous system: A surprising personal example—her husband suddenly offering her a 6-week solo Airbnb work trip to Scottsdale (a long-held dream)—triggers unexpected anxiety, fear, and suspicion… even though it's everything she wanted. The freeze/fawn sabotage loop: She dives into how even “good” things can send you into a nervous system shutdown if you haven't expanded enough to hold them. You might fawn, freeze, or ghost the opportunity completely. Human Design as a recalibration tool: Karen discusses how knowing your energetic blueprint helps you make soul-aligned choices instead of survival-based ones. Especially crucial in midlife when the emotional scoreboard is crystal clear.

Mei Yung - Ageless Zen Skincare On the Value of Safe Skincare: "It's not about so much about vanity, but having healthy skin." Maintenance free is what we all seem to want.  But with some things, we don't get that option.  Our skin, that we do not get a second chance with, is one of those things we need to maintain in order to keep healthy. Mei Yung Lee, the founder and CEO of Ageless Zen, a skincare company built on a mission of authenticity, transparency, and giving back. Mei shares her personal journey from investor and philanthropist to entrepreneur, inspired by her search for truly natural skincare solutions and her father's legacy as an herbal doctor in Hong Kong. Together, James and Mei dive deep into the world of skincare ingredients, industry regulations, and why many products on the market don't meet the standards consumers deserve. Mei details how Ageless Zen's products are created with scientific rigor, natural ingredients, and minimal preservatives, emphasizing safety and efficacy while supporting non-profit initiatives like funding schools and cancer research. She pulls back the curtain on the challenges of sourcing rare ingredients, the complexities of creating shelf-stable, effective creams without harmful chemicals, and the thought behind her innovative, eco-friendly product packaging. Listen as Mei details how she started her skincare company and what she has learned throughout the process. Enjoy!

That's a very interesting question you asked. And I think your listeners should also understand it too. FDA in America actually does not, you know, approve any product. They have a set of guidelines and they assume people will follow that guideline. And you build your product in the facility that is approved by the FDA and they can check the facility, all of that to make sure, you know, that everything is up to that particular standard. But mostly it's up to a skincare company to uphold it. And like, for example, I can tell you currently US company, you know, have about three or four hundred ingredients they're not allowed to use because they're toxic. Mei Yung [00:00:48]: They're highly sensitive like you said. But in Canada there's over a thousand or fifteen hundred that matter. Depends on where you look at.

Dustin Heiner - Master Passive Income On the Game of Entrepreneurship: "I love building businesses. One of my favorite things, like it's a game. So I just keep trying to do better at that game." Passive income seems to be one of the most underrated ways to fulfill your dreams.  Maybe that seems like a stretch, but it has been proven again and again. There are a few tricks to mastering passive income: 1) Realize it takes time- it is a get rich slow game, 2) Many others have done it and many of them share how they did it, and 3) Just about anyone can do this. Dustin Heiner joins us for the second time to discuss how he has created his passive income dynasty and how he shares his wisdom with other investors.  The hardest part about anything, investing included, is just getting started.  Dustin explains how he shifted his mindset to get out of the job world and move into the, ironically, more stable real estate investment world. Listen as Dustin explains the steps for starting your passive income journey, how to start small and build upon your success.  The goal is that one day in the future, think 10ish years, you will not have to work.  You'll still want to, for the love of the game.

And she says, Dustin, would you please come in the office? And I paused for a second. Sure. I hung up the phone. I said to myself, why are they calling me the office? Like this isn't normal. If I get laid off, does that make me a failure as a father? The last time I walked to my car, I felt like I was walking on clouds because I knew I would never ever need a job again. If you build the business first, then you have the experts that are doing it as opposed to you hoping that you're doing it right. Especially if you're investing out of state. Dustin Heiner [00:00:27]: Anybody that you hear, let's say Instagram or TikTok, the people that have been around since 2020, 2022, they started, oh, I bought three properties and I'm a millionaire, blah blah blah. I've now taught my 16 year old daughter to buy her first property. So she bought her first property three months ago. It's an active loss for you, so you can depreciate. $100,000 is what I did. Everything around real estate, I figure, well, shoot, what else can we do? Well, people need homeowners insurance, maybe I might go down that route. Do you mind if I just give everybody my course for free?

Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson - Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) On the Reality of Working in Veterinary Medicine: "You're gonna have to talk with the family that can't necessarily afford to take care of their animal all the time. You're gonna have to lift a 80 pound dog. There's just certain things where we can make your life easier and better financially, but there's certain things that are just part of the job." The veterinary field is a challenging one.  For those that are working in the field, you need to work with animals that cannot necessarily tell you what hurts.  On the same side, they are communicating with the variety of pet owners.  Another significant issue comes down to the money.  Many people have left the veterinary profession for other, arguably easier, jobs for similar pay. The veterinary field is a business that requires the love of pets to be accepted as part of the reason you are in the field. Add onto the issue of growing demand as populations climb and pet ownership grows along with it and the declining or typically static existence of veterinary care facilities makes the business of veterinary medicine interesting, to say the least. Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson saw the need, and decided to build from scratch a veterinary practice of their own, the Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) in Madison, Wisconsin.  They went full in with a new building, new equipment and processes for everything gained through their individual veterinary paths. Listen as Lisa and Cat explain how they got to be the admirable veterinary entrepreneurs they are and how they came to make the decisions they did.  The process was seemingly clinical in execution and the result has been nothing shy of amazing.

Amanda Marek - Active Youth Wisconsin On Getting the Style Right: "I always like to say that, from an unbiased standpoint, our events are really, really awesome. And I say it's unbiased because I got to experience the events before I was an employee of active youth Wisconsin." It seems kids have all sorts of gadgets and ways to watch, listen and play while sitting in a chair and staring at a screen.  While this may be entertaining, it is also not great for their bodies.  Every body needs to move and be active.  That is a habit that should start early.  But how do you get kids off the couch and off their screens? Amanda Marek is the director of Active Youth Wisconsin, a non-profit that helps get kids moving through many programs.  These programs include donations to schools for physical education equipment, after school programs, triathlons for kids and even some adult fund-raising to get adults active. Discover how Active Youth Wisconsin removes barriers, from providing "no questions asked" financial aid for entry fees and gear, to carting bike trailers to schools so every child can experience the freedom and confidence that come with moving their bodies. Amanda opens up about the challenges and triumphs of running events, working with schools, wrangling city permits, and, most importantly, ensuring that every child—regardless of means—has the opportunity to build healthy habits and a sense of community through activity. Whether you're a parent, educator, entrepreneur, or just someone who believes in the power of movement and inclusion, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories and valuable insights. Listen as Amanda details how they are helping get kids moving and making sure the opportunity is available to everyone. Enjoy!

Right. It's amazing to see these kids developing as athletes. I think it's really awesome. But it's so exclusive that you have this big chunk of kids, kids that are being essentially left behind.
