“When you go to these associations' websites, they don't have robust staff…it's not hard to find them. You can directly engage with them and talk to them about an event that's coming up.

This week, in Episode 273, David C. Barnett, Paul Downs, and Sarah Segal tackle health insurance, one of the least enjoyable issues business owners confront. It's renewal season, and the three owners are seeing different systems, different pressures, but similar frustrations. Paul tells us he's facing the largest premium increases he's seen since the Affordable Care Act—double-digit hikes that will cost him an extra $15,000 to $25,000 next year. Sarah hasn't received her numbers yet, but she's preparing for the worst. And David gives us a cross-border view from Canada, where universal coverage eliminates the pricing drama but introduces its own set of complications. It's a candid conversation about what's responsible, what's sustainable, and what business owners are supposed to do when the numbers don't leave good options. Plus: We also talk about what it takes to get a business ready to be sold. While BizBuySell recently reported that more owners are looking to get out—even if it means dropping their asking price—that's not exactly what David is seeing in the marketplace. “The truth is that small businesses sell for relatively low multiples of cash flow,” he says. “And so, the real benefit is not actually in the exit. It's in the owning.”

In this episode, Keith welcomes Angel Ellis, a landscaper and small-business owner who transformed his life from hardship and incarceration into purpose, stability, and entrepreneurship. Angel shares his emotional turning point, how he rebuilt his identity, restored family relationships, and found the clarity to build a thriving landscaping company from scratch. The conversation explores practical business lessons—starting a service-based company legally, using local resources, transitioning from a job to full-time business ownership, staying aligned in marriage, and keeping priorities straight at home. Angel emphasizes discipline, personal responsibility, momentum, and the power of faith when overcoming fear, roadblocks, and uncertainty. This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs in landscaping, home services, or blue-collar trades who want motivation, resilience, business clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. "Now we only work Monday through Thursday by choice to have the weekends, more time for the wifey for life, have more time for ministry, serve King Jesus, and it's just awesome." – Angel Ellis Topics Covered: How Angel rebuilt his life and launched a landscaping business from scratch Practical steps to legally start and structure a lawn-care or home-service company Transitioning from a day job into full-time landscaping with momentum and confidence Work–life balance in the lawn-care industry, prioritizing marriage, home, and well-being Scaling a small landscaping or service business with integrity, discipline, and consistency How mindset, resilience, and community support drive long-term growth in lawn care and entrepreneurship Key Takeaways Business Starts With Simple Action: Don't overcomplicate the launch of a landscaping or home-service company. You don't need a perfect plan to begin — just the willingness to ask questions, call the city or county, follow the legal basics, and put boots on the ground. Momentum doesn't come from theory, it comes from motion. The moment you commit and start saying yes to real work, the business begins to open up faster than you imagined. Don't Stay Half In and Half Out: Holding onto a job while trying to grow a lawn-care business can keep you stuck at half speed. Once Angel finally released the safety net and went all-in on his company, the work surged and his confidence skyrocketed. Entrepreneurship rewards commitment — when you're no longer split between a paycheck and a purpose, you create the urgency, energy, and freedom that full-time ownership requires. Private Peace Fuels Public Growth: A thriving landscaping business isn't just built in the field — it's built at home. Alignment in marriage, healthy prioritization, and peace inside the household create sharper decision-making, clearer leadership, and the emotional bandwidth needed to grow. You never want public success and private collapse. A stable home is the competitive advantage most entrepreneurs overlook.

When most people hear the word policy, they immediately picture Washington, D.C., marble hallways, and people in suits arguing on TV. But as my guest today so brilliantly reminds us, policy is simply how decisions get made - and you don't need to be a political insider to influence it.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Deborah Stine, founder of the Science and Technology Policy Academy, former Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in the Obama White House, and someone who has spent her career helping scientists, engineers, and health professionals turn their expertise into impact.And yes, her résumé reads like a Washington fairytale, but what makes Debbie extraordinary is how down-to-earth and practical she is. She's spent decades working at the national level and then chose to move back to the “ground floor” of change—state and local work—where impact shows up fast and in real lives.Debbie and I talk about:Why most experts accidentally sabotage their own influenceHer 4E Framework for better decision-makingHow to translate complex, jargon-heavy research into something the public—and policymakers—actually understandWhy state and local advocacy can be even more powerful than federal workHow to work with people who disagree with youA surprising turn into AI—and how Debbie used my Automate & Amplify program to keep her content going while traveling the worldThis conversation is a powerful reminder that your voice matters, especially when you pair your expertise with a compelling story and a clear message.About My Guest: Dr. Deborah Stine is the founder of the Science and Technology Policy Academy, where she helps scientists, engineers, and health professionals translate what they know into policies that improve people's lives. Deborah has worked with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, at the Congressional Research Service, and was the Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in the Obama White House. She was also Professor of the Practice, Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Deborah is also the author of From Expertise to Impact, which is all about how experts can communicate in a way that truly influences public decision-making.

Send us a textIn this power-packed episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast, Lira welcomes back Jackie Wu, the founder and CEO of Treasure Life's Journey and a renowned sales expert. Building on their previous discussion, Jackie dives deeper into her signature FAQ Formula, a transformative framework designed to help entrepreneurs and professionals secure a "yes" in just one conversation. Jackie shares her incredible journey from closing a $228,000 sale in 30 minutes at Tiffany & Co. to gaining the endorsement of California State Treasurer Fiona Ma in under seven minutes.Jackie breaks down the three essential steps of the FAQ Formula: (F) Find your ideal avatar, (A) Assess their qualification, and (Q) Quick sale close. She explains how this method eliminates the burnout of endless follow-ups and ensures that business owners focus their energy on clients who are ready, willing, and able to invest. Beyond sales tactics, Jackie emphasizes the crucial mindset shift required for success: deeply believing that "I am worth it, and I am worth every penny of it."This episode also explores the unique challenges women face in negotiation and confidence, particularly within cultural contexts that encourage timidity. Jackie offers practical tools, like her color-coded time-blocking strategy for productivity, and shares how finding the right mentors can help navigate the "corporate jungle." Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, or simply looking to improve your persuasive communication in relationships, this conversation provides a blueprint for achieving your goals with peace and purpose.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

#310 Category Creation | In this episode, Dave Gerhardt digs in with Josh Lowman, Founder & CEO of Gold Front, to unpack what “category creation” actually takes, why most companies get it wrong, and how the best brands win by owning a spot in the customer's mind. They get into the four real paths to category leadership, the trap of “fake” category design, why vibe and soul still beat spreadsheets, and how personal development quietly powers great marketing.

If a person is going to go to college, community colleges are a great option. Do an internship or an apprenticeship that won't put them in tens of thousands of dollars in debt. 2. Entrepreneurship is going to matter for them, no matter what they decide to do after high school. It's just a matter of making the lessons and curriculum interesting for them by using different technologies, guest speakers, and videos that will help get students engaged. 3.

Hello mes chers amis
In this timely and eye-opening interview, host Mark Alyn sits down with Kevin Busque, Head of Gusto 401(k) powered by Guideline, to break down what California small-business owners urgently need to know about the state's retirement savings mandate—and why waiting could be a costly mistake. With the December 31, 2025 compliance deadline rapidly approaching, California employers with as few as one W-2 employee are legally required to offer a retirement savings option. Business owners must either enroll employees in the state-run CalSavers IRA program or implement a qualified private retirement plan, such as a 401(k). Yet, according to recent research shared in the interview, nearly 75% of small-business owners are unaware of CalSavers, and 65% don't realize they could face fines of up to $750 per employee for missing deadlines. Kevin clearly explains the penalty structure, which begins with $250 per eligible employee after 90 days of noncompliance and escalates to an additional $500 per employee after 180 days. But this conversation goes far beyond warnings—it's about smart, strategic action. Kevin outlines how today's modern 401(k) plans are far more affordable, flexible, and tax-advantaged than many business owners realize. With new federal tax credits and simplified administration, retirement plans are no longer just for big corporations. Mark and Kevin also explore how offering a quality retirement benefit can do more than satisfy a mandate—it can boost recruitment, strengthen employee loyalty, enhance your employer brand, and align with long-term business growth. Kevin's entrepreneurial background and leadership at Guideline and Gusto add practical insight into how small companies can implement powerful benefits without overwhelming cost or complexity. This interview is a must-watch for any California business owner who wants to avoid penalties, stay compliant, and turn a regulatory requirement into a competitive advantage. #CaliforniaBusiness #SmallBusinessOwners #RetirementPlanning #CalSavers #401kPlans #EmployeeBenefits #BusinessCompliance #MarkAlyn #Gusto401k #GuidelineRetirement #Entrepreneurship #HRCompliance #WorkplaceBenefitsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

Everyone online makes entrepreneurship look like the ultimate path to freedom—but the truth is far more complicated. After 18 years of building SeedTime, Bob & Linda open up about what most people never say out loud: the failures, the mental load, the pivots, the spiritual battle, and why starting a business isn't automatically God's will for everyone. If you're dreaming of quitting your job… or you already have a business and feel the weight of it… this honest, hope-filled conversation will help you discern your next step with wisdom, peace, and biblical grounding. What We Cover Why 95% of their entrepreneurial attempts failed (and why that's normal) The truth behind "being your own boss" (spoiler: you still have bosses) The 87% mental-health struggle rate among founders How social media romanticizes entrepreneurship—and how Christians should see it differently When hating your job doesn't mean God is calling you to start a business What Scripture actually teaches about work, calling, and servanthood How prayer sustained SeedTime (including years of praying daily over the book) Why purpose—not profit—is the only sustainable fuel for entrepreneurs The friend who lost everything building a business… only to discover God's better plan in a "regular job" The role of humility, long checklists, and constant pivots in real-life entrepreneurship Scripture Mentioned (NLT) Colossians 3:23 — Work willingly as though working for the Lord. Mark 10:44 — "Whoever wants to be first must be the servant of all." Who This Episode Is For ✓ The employee dreaming of quitting a job they hate ✓ The entrepreneur who feels tired, discouraged, or unseen ✓ The Christian wrestling with calling, purpose, or career direction ✓ Anyone wondering, "Is entrepreneurship really for me?"
