Liz Chism has been an entrepreneur for over 11 years. She started out her entrepreneurial journey by starting a craft brewery with her husband and being the COO and Head Brewer. After that journey ended, she started Systems into Freedom where she is a business operations coach who strategizes with business about how to organize and streamline their operations so they can create freedom through their business. Liz seamlessly fits coaching around helping her husband in his real estate business, running the house, raising their three children, and homeschooling. “It wasn't until my husband and I decided to start a craft beer brewery that I found my passion for organizing, streamlining and strategizing–how to go from point A to Point B in the fastest way possible. “My husband and I fell in love with brewing, the science and the art mixture. And we fell in love with the community aspect that it brought, the ability to bring people together. What's interesting is that most people didn't think that I would be the brewer. They always put the male as the brewer and the female as the admin/marketing person. It turned out I had more talent for organizing and operations, repeating success and creating the recipes. In the end I was the brewer and did all the operations. My husband's talents were more of that CEO mentality, that visionary, and he handled the business side. We ran it for almost five years but ended up closing down in 2018 and filing bankruptcy in 2019. And that's actually when we pivoted. There's a lot of things about the brewery that we liked, but some aspects weren't a match for where we wanted to be and what we wanted to do with life. It was actually a moment where we could redesign our life however we wanted to. Based on what my husband and I learned while building the brewery, I started a coaching business called Systems into Freedom. It is designed to really help business owners put the systems in place so they will not get burned out. Those systems need to be incorporated into the culture of the business and leverage their employees to become leaders.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to find ways to improve your marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Kelli, a former litigator who left toxic law firm environments to launch her own trademark law practice. Kelli shares how she built a supportive, flexible firm culture and leveraged her marketing skills—especially on social media platforms like Threads and Instagram—to attract clients. Kelli provides some insight about working in toxic law firms and her approach to creating a better work environment for herself and her staff. Kelli worked in a space where she needed to prioritize work to the point where there was no acknowledgement of good work or a reasonable work-life balance. For Kelli, this created an unhealthy relationship to her work and having feelings of overwhelm and burnout. For her staff, she ensures everyone is excited about what they do and love coming to work each day.Now in a healthier environment, Kelli shares how she brands and markets her firm to get clients. She leans on a casual approach to branding, which is the opposite of law firms in general. Kelli uses creativity and uniqueness to brand her firm by creating a fun and fresh website to showcase what she is selling.

George Howell may have sold his company to Starbucks — but he never sold out. A pioneer of the specialty coffee movement, George began his journey in 1975 with the founding of The Coffee Connection, a beloved Boston-based chain that helped redefine what American coffee could be. Nearly two decades later, Starbucks acquired the company – but George wasn't finished. In 2012, he re-entered the retail scene with George Howell Coffee, a brand rooted in his unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and education. In this episode, George shares how his dual passions for art and exceptional coffee sparked a revolution in café culture, long before Starbucks became a household name. From modest beginnings to becoming a global advocate for farmers and flavor integrity, George has always played the long game, prioritizing substance over trend. He reveals the untold story behind the drink that evolved into the Frappuccino, why so many cafés miss the mark on customer experience, his unapologetic stance on flavored coffee, and why black coffee should be as revered as fine wine. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: George Howell, Founder, George Howell Coffee – After Ray makes an awkward admission, George opens up about the origins of his lifelong passion for coffee, tracing it back to his early days in the art world, where he represented Indigenous Mexican artists. This path eventually led him to open his first café in the 1970s. He clears up a common misconception – that he invented the Frappuccino – explaining instead how the beverage fit into Starbucks's acquisition of his company. Throughout the conversation, George emphasizes the core values that have guided his career: exceptional customer service, employee well-being, and direct, lasting relationships with coffee farmers, many of whom he still visits regularly, even in his 80s. He highlights one of the most significant innovations in his career: freezing beans to preserve their freshness, a method he believes has revolutionized coffee quality. George also discusses the recent redesign of George Howell Coffee's packaging, aimed at better educating customers about origin, processing, and flavor. For him, success isn't measured by profit, but by the ability to share knowledge and elevate understanding. The conversation ends on a light note, with Ray suggesting a new way to order a simple black coffee. Brands in this episode: George Howell Coffee, Starbucks

This week, in episode 267, David C. Barnett, Kate Morgan, and Sarah Segal tackle a challenge every owner who sells services eventually faces: Clients want to hire you, but you want them to understand they'll mostly be working with your team. How do you make that clear without scaring them off? For some, it's a delicate balancing act. For Kate, it's simple: if a client insists on her personal time, she charges, in her words, “a boatload of cash.” Plus: we dive into another tricky owner decision: how to structure bonus plans that truly drive retention. David is weighing a deferred bonus approach, where payouts happen over several years. It's a proven way to keep people around, but he wonders: Do you really want employees who'd otherwise leave to stay just for the money? Also, when valued employees get an offer, do you counter-offer? And if they leave, do you tell them they can always come back?
In episode 112 of Going Forward, Eric Elliott is joined by Michael Scarpati, co-founder and CEO of RetireUS, to expose the hard truths behind financial planning today.

As Michael shares, financial stress doesn't stay in your bank account, it bleeds into your health, relationships, and leadership.Eric and Michael dive into how fintech is opening access for the 98%, how independent fiduciaries are reshaping trust, and why clarity with money is the key to leading with confidence in uncertain times. Whether you're early in your career, preparing for retirement, or leading a business through chaos, this conversation will give you the clarity to stop "crockpotting" your future and start planning it with intention.Connect w/ Eric Elliott:Website: https://ericelliott.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-elliott-45704745/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericmelliott/Twitter: https://x.com/ericmelliottLinktree: https://linktr.ee/ericmelliottEmail: Eric@EricElliott.comText: 843-279-5843Connect w/ Michael Scarpati:Website: https://retire.us/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-a-scarpati/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retire.usSupercharge your online advertising campaigns with Optmyzr!Streamline management, optimize performance, and boost your ROI.

Melissa Morris is the founder of Métier, an innovative luxury handbag brand well-revered for its commitment to combining fashion and function. Before starting her own luxury brand, Morris had worked in merchandising and design for some of the biggest names in luxury, including Helmut Lang, Armani, Belstaff, and LVMH. But in all her years working for brands, she noticed a lack of bags that actually served the wearer. Métier was born from Morris's vision for accessories that were both elegant and practical. She dreamed of a line that offered customers the perfect bag for any occasion with a seasonless and timeless aesthetic. Despite having never designed a handbag in her life, she used her degree in sculpture and her career in merchandising to engineer the bags of her dreams with her customers in mind. Métier took off after its founding in 2017, garnering a cult following, and the bags have even been spotted in award-winning Hollywood productions like Succession and The White Lotus. It's also secured major celebrity endorsements, earning praise from stars like Nicole Kidman, who has been seen wearing them both on and off screen. Morris continues to prove her commitment to her customers today as Métier develops new bespoke options for its loyal devotees.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about the power of deposits the small, consistent actions that build the life you truly want. The Vision That Started It All This past weekend, I celebrated my birthday surrounded by my family. It reminded me how far I've come from that 16 year old kid who dreamed of owning his first car. Back then, I didn't have the money, but I had a clear vision. I knew exactly what I wanted, and that vision became the fuel that carried me through the work that was required. Every lawn I cut, every car I washed, every dollar I saved was a deposit toward that goal. My parents taught me that work ethic mattered, but I learned early that effort without direction isn't enough. You need a vision to reinforce your actions. That's what kept me going knowing that each deposit, no matter how small, was getting me closer to something bigger. When I finally bought that red 1987 Nissan Sentra, it wasn't just about the car. It was about proving to myself that anything I truly want requires consistent deposits over time. Deposits and Withdrawals That same principle applies to everything in life business, marriage, health, and faith. For years, I forgot that. I worked hard but neglected the deposits that mattered most. In my marriage, I withdrew more than I deposited. I expected peace, connection, and understanding, but I wasn't putting in the daily effort to earn them. The same thing happened in my business. I made the right deposits for a while, saw success, then stopped reinforcing those habits. When challenges hit, I had nothing left to pull from. I was overdrafted emotionally, mentally, and financially. It wasn't until my mid 30s that I realized the pattern. The moments I neglected myself skipped workouts, ignored my faith, avoided hard conversations were withdrawals. Every ignored priority created debt that showed up later as frustration, stress, or failure. The Power of Preparation Life will test you. You can make every deposit and still face setbacks. What matters is whether you've prepared yourself to recover. When I had surgery recently, I was back at the office the next day not because I'm superhuman, but because my body and mind are conditioned through years of consistent deposits. The same applies to business and relationships. You can't expect to withstand challenges if you haven't built the endurance to do so. Most people don't break because of one bad day. They break because of a slow burn months or years of neglecting the deposits that build strength and clarity. That's why I train daily. That's why I eat clean, journal, pray, and stay connected to my purpose. These actions prepare me for the inevitable withdrawals life demands. Living from Surplus The goal isn't just to make deposits it's to create a surplus. When you live in surplus, you operate from overflow, not survival. You can give more to your family, your business, your faith, and your community because you're not running on empty. Scarcity, abundance, and prosperity are all connected. Scarcity is survival mode. Abundance feels good but can vanish with one bad decision. Prosperity is the standard when your deposits are so consistent that even a setback can't derail you. That's what I'm building toward every day. Prosperity in mind, body, and spirit. It's what allows me to show up for my family, lead this company, and continue to grow with purpose. Reflection Questions Where in your life are you trying to withdraw without first making enough deposits? What daily actions could you commit to that would strengthen your spiritual, mental, or physical bank accounts? Are you living in scarcity, abundance, or prosperity and what would it take to reach the next level? Notable Quotes “Anything that I want is going to require deposits.” “Every skipped workout, every ignored conversation, every avoided marketing piece it all adds up.” “The goal is not just to make deposits but to build a surplus that allows you to live from overflow, not survival.” Follow A.Z.

Schedule a Meeting with Joshua TODAY!Outdoor living pros—do you keep blaming “bad leads” for your low close rates?
