“A photo in general is not going to win you business, but bad photos are going to lose you your business all the time because it absolutely crushes.”Ever dread getting new headshots or wonder if your photos help your speaking business? On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with photographer John DeMato about what matters when it comes to imagery and visual storytelling for speakers.John's best advice is that your branding photos aren't for you; they're for your audience. Every image should invite people into your world and show how you help them, building trust and credibility. This means going beyond stiff portraits and staged shots. John stresses having a strategy: your photos should tell the story of who you serve, how you solve problems, and what working with you looks like. Think candid behind-the-scenes moments, action shots, and authentic glimpses of your process, not just you on stage with a mic.Additionally, John advises focusing on natural, in-the-moment photos rather than stiff posing. And while iPhone snaps work for everyday social posts, invest in professionally captured images for your website or speaker kit. Bring outfits you'd wear on stage, choose simple backgrounds, and use natural light to keep things genuine. Most importantly, if your brand changes, refresh your photo library!You'll learn:The purpose and power of speaker photosDefinition of visual storytelling for speakersStrategic approaches to speaker brandingCommon mistakes speakers make with photographyBuilding authenticity and comfort in photosDealing with skepticismCapturing genuine “magic moments”And much, much more!“[Branding] photos aren't for you, they're for them.

Kevin and Zach welcome Alan back to discuss the world of business and entrepreneurship within dentistry. They begin by reminiscing about their childhood "businesses," which leads to a discussion sparked by a conversation Alan had with dental entrepreneur Dr. Mark Costes. The group explores the idea that while dentists of their generation could often succeed with a simple practice, the current landscape of high student debt and large dental organizations demands a more business-minded approach. They debate whether an entrepreneurial spirit is something you're born with or can be developed, and they consider the differences between simply owning a practice, running a dental business, and being a true entrepreneur. The conversation highlights the wide spectrum of career paths available in dentistry today, from being a salaried associate to building a multi-office empire. In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kevin and Zach, along with guest Alan, dive into the world of business and entrepreneurship within dentistry. They begin by reminiscing about their childhood "businesses," which leads to a discussion sparked by a conversation Alan had with dental entrepreneur Mark Costas. The group explores the idea that while dentists of their generation could often succeed with a simple practice, the current landscape of high student debt and large dental organizations demands a more business-minded approach. They debate whether an entrepreneurial spirit is something you're born with or can be developed, and they consider the differences between simply owning a practice, running a dental business, and being a true entrepreneur. The conversation highlights the wide spectrum of career paths available in dentistry today, from being a salaried associate to building a multi-office empire. Key Takeaways Entrepreneurship is a Spectrum: Owning a dental office doesn't automatically make you an entrepreneur. The podcast outlines a spectrum from simply owning a job (a practice that only runs with you there) to having a true business that can function independently, to being a full-on entrepreneur who innovates and scales. The Changing Landscape of Dentistry: The hosts acknowledge that their generation of dentists came into the profession during a "golden age" with less debt and more opportunities for practice ownership. Today, with higher student loans and the rise of Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), younger dentists often need to be more business-savvy to succeed as owners. Technology and Business: The discussion touches on how technology, like digital dentistry and clear aligners, can be a business decision to add new services and level up a practice. This is presented as a way to evolve from a "drill, fill, bill" mindset into a more diverse and profitable business model. Dentistry as a Vehicle: The podcast concludes that dentistry can be a great field for entrepreneurs because it provides a high income that can be used to fund other business ventures, whether within dentistry (like teaching or consulting) or in completely different industries.

How do you turn seawater into a cult food brand? Ben Jacobsen did just that – and changed the way America thinks about salt. In this episode, we sit down with Ben, the founder of Jacobsen Salt Co., whose journey began with a single, revelatory bite of tinned fish topped with a few flakes of sea salt. That moment sparked a passion that led him to the windswept Oregon coast, where he began hand-harvesting salt, and ultimately to building one of the most iconic artisanal food brands in the country. Ben shares how he bootstrapped the business from scratch, earned the trust of renowned chefs, and turned Jacobsen Salt into a symbol of quality, craft and flavor. He speaks candidly about the entrepreneurial rollercoaster – the risks, the resilience, the moments of doubt – and the deep creative drive that continues to fuel his work. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ben Jacobsen, Founder, Jacobsen Salt Co. – The conversation begins with Ben's recent culinary experiences in NYC and his growing appreciation for restaurants since starting his company. Ben traces the origins of Jacobsen Salt Co. to his time living in Copenhagen and Oslo and how he was inspired by the profound difference high-quality salt made in simple meals. The conversation delves into the technical and entrepreneurial challenges of creating a salt company from scratch and the humble beginnings of Jacobsen Salt, which involved transporting seawater in wine totes and experimenting in a commercial kitchen. He touches on how Jacobsen Salt gained early traction through word of mouth, support from chefs, and compelling design – all of which contributed to expansion in specialty shops and boutiques across all 50 states. Ben also explains why he sees a long runway for growth, emphasizing the importance of scaling production and increasing accessibility while staying true to the brand's mission.  Brands in this episode: Jacobsen Salt Co.

Kason Knight was a successful mechanical engineer in the oil and gas industry when a sharp downturn hit. His job vanished overnight, leaving him with a newborn daughter and a mortgage to pay. Instead of returning to the corporate world, Kason doubled down on a side hustle he'd started with a single 3D printer in the corner of his kid's playroom.That small bet turned into ISOLIDS, a massive 3D printing company that now operates 160 printers out of a nearly 9,000-square-foot facility. Serving high-stakes industries like aerospace, agriculture, and medical, Kason's business now generates over $500,000 a month. He transformed a self-funding hobby into a manufacturing powerhouse by focusing on strategic growth and building key relationships.In this interview, Kason sits down with Ryan Atkinson to break down his incredible journey from layoff to CEO. He shares the blueprint for scaling a manufacturing business, the best way to manage your product development, the strategies he used to land major B2B clients by punching above his weight class, and why constant, strategic evolution is the key to sustainable business growth. If you're looking to turn your side hustle into your main gig , Kason's entrepreneurship journey is definitely worth looking into.Takeaways:- Preparation Creates Luck: Having a side hustle for two years before being laid off provided a foundation to go full-time, proving that consistent hard work puts you in a position to capitalize on opportunities.- Start as a "Self-Funding Hobby": Beginning with the simple goal of making a hobby pay for itself removes the initial pressure of profitability and allows a business to develop organically.- Set a Hard Deadline: When going full-time, give yourself a clear timeline to become profitable. Kason gave himself two years, creating a benchmark for success or failure.- Scaling Requires Strategic Pivots: The tactics that get you to your first major milestone won't get you to the next. You must be willing to pivot your strategy and invest in better tools—like upgrading from "shovels to an excavator"—to reach new levels of growth.- Win Big Clients by Focusing Small: To land large B2B clients, focus on building a strong relationship with a single engineer or decision-maker within the company.

BONUS: Rob Gallaher Reveals The Management Revolution Transforming Company Culture and Employee Engagement In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of profit sharing with Rob Gallaher, CEO of Gallaher Co. Rob shares his journey from an overworked entrepreneur sacrificing family time to building a thriving business model that aligns employee success with company growth. Through practical insights and hard-learned lessons, we explore how monthly profit sharing can revolutionize workplace dynamics and create genuine shared success. The Genesis of a Profit Sharing Revolution "I was an entrepreneur, working long hours and sacrificing family time. I realized my situation in life was not so good anymore, and even my health was suffering." Rob Gallaher's journey to profit sharing began with a personal crisis. As a successful entrepreneur, he found himself trapped in the classic founder's dilemma - working endless hours while his health and family relationships suffered. This realization prompted him to seek alternative business models from other successful owners. His discovery of profit sharing wasn't immediate magic, but rather a methodical approach to solving the fundamental disconnect between business success and employee engagement. Since implementing it in 2015, Rob has refined his approach through real-world application, leading him to document his learnings in his book after others began noticing the remarkable success of his companies. Defining True Profit Sharing "Take the company's financial success and share it with individuals that make it happen. The main thing: it must be monthly." Rob's definition of profit sharing goes beyond traditional annual bonuses or stock options. His approach centers on taking actual company profits and distributing them to the people who directly contribute to generating those profits. The cornerstone of his system is monthly distribution, recognizing that people manage their personal finances on a monthly basis, not quarterly or annually. This frequency ensures that profit sharing becomes integrated into employees' monthly budgets and thinking patterns, creating immediate behavioral impact rather than distant, abstract benefits. The Power of Immediate Impact "No one manages quarterly their personal life. The profit sharing needs to adapt to that monthly reality. If we don't affect people's monthly budget we don't affect how they think." The monthly frequency of Rob's profit sharing system creates tangible, immediate impact on employees' financial lives. Unlike equity or long-term bonuses that feel distant and uncertain, monthly profit sharing becomes part of employees' regular financial planning. This immediacy changes how people approach their work, leading them to ask "what can I do to get it" and investing more personally in company success. Rob emphasizes making the amounts substantial - recommending four-digit numbers that genuinely affect people's monthly reality rather than token gestures that get lost in regular paychecks. Rethinking Performance Management "I don't like the word 'review'. I prefer the word 'reflection', we do it every 6 months. I wanted to change the tone and what was happening in those meetings." Traditional performance reviews create antagonistic dynamics where employees feel anxious and stressed, often leading to negotiations that feel like battles. Rob has completely reimagined this process by separating profit sharing from performance evaluations and changing the language from "reviews" to "reflections." This shift eliminates the transactional nature of traditional reviews where employees feel they must fight for raises and promotions. Instead, profit sharing operates independently of individual performance metrics, creating a more collaborative and less stressful environment for genuine performance discussions. Strategic Implementation Framework "You need a business that makes a profit, you need to have accurate accounting, and you need to be a leader - you need to have the respect and trust of your leadership." Rob outlines three fundamental prerequisites for successful profit sharing implementation. First, the business must be genuinely profitable - you cannot share what doesn't exist. Second, accurate accounting systems are essential to track and calculate profits transparently. Third, leadership credibility is crucial because profit sharing requires employees to trust that leaders will follow through on commitments. Rob recommends starting with a flat rate and minimum amount, such as $1,000, and focusing on decision-makers who directly affect company profitability rather than attempting to include every employee from the start. Targeting Decision Makers "Who are the people who make decisions that affect the profit of your business? Share the profit with the decision makers that affect profit." Rather than implementing company-wide profit sharing immediately, Rob advocates for a targeted approach focusing on employees who make decisions directly impacting profitability. This strategic selection ensures that profit sharing reaches the people whose daily choices most influence company success. By identifying and rewarding these key decision-makers first, companies can create a focused impact that generates measurable results before expanding the program to additional team members. Getting Started: First Steps for Implementation "Figure out your average profit." For companies interested in profit sharing but unsure where to begin, Rob recommends starting with fundamental financial analysis. Understanding average monthly profits provides the baseline for determining sustainable sharing amounts. This analysis helps leaders set realistic expectations and design a program that won't compromise business stability while still providing meaningful benefits to employees. The key is ensuring that profit sharing enhances rather than threatens the company's financial foundation. About Rob Gallaher Rob Gallaher, CEO of Gallaher Co., leads five companies across industries. Since founding his construction firm in 2010, he's championed profit sharing as a catalyst for growth. His book, Profit Sharing: The Power of Shared Success, and upcoming course reflect his passion for aligning employee and company success.

With data-driven advocacy and shareholder engagement, investors can leverage their portfolios for real change. As Andrew puts it, “Your money...really defines the future.” Global Momentum and Regional Nuance Marilyn Waite underscores that sustainable investing has gone mainstream across the globe, now representing over one-third of global assets under management. She emphasizes the leadership of the Global South in setting new standards, showing that sustainable finance is both a fiduciary and a competitive imperative. “There's no stopping this because it just makes good sense, it makes fiduciary sense, and it makes return sense,” Marilyn notes.

Transparent frameworks and practical tools—like As You Sow's InvestYourValues platform—empower investors to know exactly what they own and avoid greenwashing. Corporate Accountability and the Power of NarrativeIoannis Ioannou shares how ESG outperformance research is nuanced—successful sustainable companies embed responsibility in strategy, not just reporting. He calls for a “positive narrative” that unites all stakeholders: “Transparency is necessary but not sufficient. We need to align corporate action with a system that works within its limits—and tell a compelling, evidence-based story.” Call-to-Action Let's inspire you with one action item to move the needle this week: take a moment to review your own portfolio or investment choices and ask yourself, "How well do they align with your personal values?" Even small shifts can make a big impact over time. If you haven't explored sustainable investing before, start by researching one company or fund that prioritizes environmental or social responsibility.
