    When I sat down with Mike McDerment, founder of FreshBooks, his story reminded me why narrowing focus is often the smartest path to growth. In this Bite-sized episode, you'll hear how Mike turned a small design problem into a billion-dollar company by obsessing over one specific customer segment.Mike shares how he resisted the temptation to serve everyone, instead targeting only web designers for seven years. That focus built a loyal base and drove word-of-mouth growth far beyond the niche. He talks about bootstrapping from his parents' basement, raising small angel rounds, and running lean until the first big $30m investment a decade later.If you're stuck wondering how to get your business moving, this conversation is a blueprint: start small, serve one customer type brilliantly, and let focus fuel scale.Key Takeaways:Identify one clear customer and understand their pain better than they do.Avoid the trap of believing “everyone” is your customer. Focus creates growth.Bootstrapping forces discipline and builds resilience before raising big capital.Word of mouth is powerful when you serve a niche exceptionally well.Scaling requires patience and deliberate planning, not shortcuts.

    Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA

    This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. In this week's, full-length episode, as a part of the BRAND NEW Legacy Led CEO Series, Stepping Into Legacy Led Leadership,  Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon issues a prophetic call to entrepreneurs who know deep down they were not called to be a moment, they were chosen to be a movement. If you've hit high income but still feel heavy, this episode will help you see that the problem isn't strategy, it's identity. You'll discover the four levels of leadership identity (Business Owner, Entrepreneur, CEO, Legacy-Led CEO) and explore the mindset and mantle required to build from eternity, not just economy. If you're done playing small, tired of hustling for visibility, and ready to lead with conviction, anointing, and legacy, this episode is your spiritual recalibration. It's time to stop scaling chaotically and start stewarding strategically. Wealth with permanence requires identity with power—and this episode is your invitation to claim it.  This episode will disrupt your comfort zone, reframe your business identity, and call you out of hiding. It will invite you to step into the full weight of your divine assignment—not just to build a business, but to carry a movement. You'll learn how to lead like a Legacy-Led CEO, how to distinguish your momentum from your mantle, and how to stop building from ego and start building for eternity. This is your wake-up call to stop playing small and lead with strategy, soul, and spiritual conviction. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Redefine Legacy. Legacy is not an amount — it's an assignment. Start building with the awareness that your business is a spiritual blueprint for generations you'll never meet. Audit Your Identity. Take inventory of who you're being in business. Are you leading like a tired operator… or a Legacy-Led CEO? Shift your posture before you shift your plans. Shift from Validation to Visitation. If you're building to be seen or validated, you're building from ego. True wealth comes when you're building from your divine visitation — a God-given mandate to lead. Affirm with me: I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement.   And this week's journal prompts are: The part of me that is still building from a moment instead of a movement is… When I imagine myself as a Legacy-Led CEO, I feel… I am no longer available for leadership that feels like…   And Your Prayer of the Week: Heavenly Father, Thank you for reminding us that we are not just building businesses — we are birthing blueprints. We surrender the desire to hustle for worthiness and instead align with your mandate to multiply. Help us remember that legacy is not just what we leave behind but what we leave in others. We ask for courage to lead from our mantle, wisdom to steward wealth with peace and purpose, and the grace to stop hiding and fully show up in our assignment. May we be bold, obedient, and faithful stewards of the movement you entrusted to us.   Want more of Darnyelle?

    From Broadway Dreams to Creative Leadership with Lauren Cassidy

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Lauren Cassidy, Founder/Executive Creative Director – LC Studio Productions. She unpacks how showing up as your best self, seizing opportunities, and evolving through every challenge leads to success and fulfillment. In today's episode, we discuss: Embrace a “greatness over perfection” mindset to fuel creativity and avoid stagnation. Lauren learned that seeking perfection sets ceilings and fosters disappointment, while aiming for personal greatness keeps you evolving; by shifting your mindset this way, you allow yourself room for growth, more creative output, and less self-judgment, which benefits anyone seeking fulfillment and innovation in any field. Align your work and life as closely as possible with what you love. Lauren insists on infusing her passion for music and creativity into her work, and when that's not possible, she finds ways outside of work to feel fulfilled; everyone benefits by seeking or creating alignment between their passions and daily activities, which boosts motivation and overall life satisfaction. Stay open to unexpected career forks and don't fear following your curiosity. Lauren's pivotal choice between a theater tour and an HBO job taught her to pursue new opportunities even without guarantees; you too can learn from serendipitous crossroads, as flexibility and openness often lead to bigger breaks and more satisfying work than rigid planning. Use pressure as a moment to pause and collaborate rather than panic. When faced with a high-stakes challenge with Joan Rivers, Lauren demonstrated the value of staying calm and working with her team. So, when you find yourself in a similar situation, remember that stressful moments are best met with composure, seeking help, and trusting your problem-solving skills. RESOURCES: Guest Bio Lauren Cassidy, the founder of LC Studio Productions, has spent her career staging productions that come to life both on-screen and in person, where strategy, storytelling, and execution meet. Picture a show where C-suite executives are the lead actors, the brand is the script, and the audience is everyone from consumers to business partners. Her role? Casting the right team, directing the production, making sure the lines land, and yes, reminding people that Post-its are not, in fact, a filing system. Lauren brings all the pieces together so that when the curtain rises, the story doesn't just play. It sticks. During her 17 years at AMC Networks, Lauren built and led an internal creative studio that doubled as a powerhouse production crew for five core brands and streaming platforms. She produced everything from record-breaking campaigns and B2B activations to all-hands meetings that looked suspiciously like late-night variety shows. (Think executives who never thought they'd sing suddenly nailing a parody number with surprising confidence.) Along the way, she earned a reputation as the connective tissue, linking strategy to execution, creativity to business goals, and vision to reality. Awards, industry recognition, and happy executives were part of the outcome, but the real thrill was watching teams she mentored flourish in the spotlight. When she's not orchestrating corporate blockbusters, Lauren borrows inspiration from theater, music, and pop culture while also fronting a rock band. For her, work has always been about building the right ensemble, setting the stage for success, and giving people a reason to lean in. Whether it's a breakthrough campaign, film festival, upfront, social impact PSA, or an executive keynote, Lauren believes the show must not just go on; it should leave an impression worth remembering.

ANDREWS: Margaret teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a private leadership development firm. Her MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) course has had a wait list every time it's been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. Margaret's expertise is grounded her own experience—a previous boss once told her that while her business results were great, her interpersonal skills were highly lacking. The exact phrase he used was, “you're not self-aware.” To change, Margaret looked for insight from famous leaders to management studies to disciplines like philosophy and psychology. At the end of the day, she found that the basis for powerful, effective leadership comes from within—from understanding yourself and then managing yourself toward the leader you want to become—also known MYLO. Margaret has taken her MYLO approach and distilled it into her first book, MANAGE YOURSELF TO LEAD OTHERS: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding (Basic Venture; September 16, 2025).

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on filing taxes? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Jacqueline and Adam Williams, co-founders of Pennywise Tax Strategies, share their journey from traditional tax roles to building a firm focused on proactive, year-round tax planning for small businesses and law firms. Proactive tax planning for small businesses is so important and needs to be prioritized. Many small business owners react to their numbers and don't think ahead when it comes to taxes. Because of this, businesses are in a bad situation due to not knowing how to make the most of their money, where the money is going or how to proactively plan ahead. Jacqueline and Adam work to ensure small businesses are not left behind and succeed during this stressful time.Jacqueline and Adam speak to the errors small businesses make during tax season. One of the biggest issues is a lack of communication between the tax preparer and the business owner. Most times, business owners hand accountants everything and call it a day. Sometimes, the business owner doesn't want to fill out the questionnaire, which means the dots are not connected. Big things can be missed, which can lead to issues after filing. Transparency between both parties is extremely important.Listen in to learn more!03:21 Gap in Small Business Tax Planning 05:19 Trusted Advisor Model vs. Traditional Accounting 06:08 Proactive Tax Planning in Practice07:34 Monthly Client Check-ins and Accountability08:16 Common Mistakes by Law Firm Owners 09:36 Avoiding Numbers and Year-Round Tax Season 11:27 Regular Tax Planning Activities12:23 Understanding and Tracking Tax Liability Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Adam and Jackie:Website FacebookLinkedin  Instagram Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

    What does it take to reinvent a legacy category for the modern consumer? In this episode, Mike Lombardo, the co-founder of better-for-you iced tea brand Halfday, shares the journey of transforming a college side hustle into a fast-growing challenger brand. Fueled by a mission to improve gut health without sacrificing flavor, Mike and his co-founder set out to reimagine iced tea for today's health-conscious consumer. Mike opens up about the brand's early missteps, and why putting flavor first became a non-negotiable product principle. He also shares how Halfday secured coveted shelf space at Whole Foods, partnered with one of New York City's most influential distributors, and how a last-minute decision to attend BevNET Live led to a major investment that helped propel the business forward. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Mike Lombardo, Co-Founder, Halfday – Mike explains the origins of the name “Halfday,” how he and his co-founder initially bootstrapped their way into Whole Foods stores and what they learned from in-store demos. He talks about why the original concept wasn't scalable and how the pandemic became a turning point in which they leaned more heavily into the products' functional benefits, low sugar content and flavor, focusing their message on “iced tea for the modern consumer.” Mike emphasizes the importance of patience and iteration, and building the right team with experienced operators. He reflects on the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, including doubts about scalability, the challenges of fundraising, and the importance of trusting the process.  Brands in this episode: Halfday, Three Wishes, Snapple, Olipop, Liquid Death, Bai, C4 Energy

    What do a high school jock turned Danny Zuko, a lung-collapse survivor in the middle of the 2008 crash, and a bourbon-country hotelier have in common? Will Hardy. In this episode, Zach sits down with Will — a creative entrepreneur, real estate maverick, and placemaker behind The Trail Hotel in Bardstown, Kentucky — to unpack a life defined by bold pivots, relentless grit, and audacious vision. From sneaking into a high school audition that would change his trajectory, to flipping 800+ homes, to nearly losing it all during the housing collapse, Will's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. You'll hear how desperation sharpened his creativity, how a hustler's spirit turned $100 into a flipping empire, and how faith, grit, and a little bourbon fueled his latest masterpiece: a $30M boutique hotel on the Bourbon Trail that's redefining Kentucky hospitality. But this isn't just a story about bricks, bourbon, and business. It's about a man who refused to be boxed in — who chased acting gigs in LA, launched a film production company, produced a feature on Milton Hershey, and still found the courage to start over (multiple times) with his wife and kids by his side. If you've ever wondered what it takes to chase audacious dreams, survive catastrophic setbacks, and build something truly lasting — this conversation will light a fire under you.Expect stories of mimosa-fueled negotiations, clown costumes that saved real estate deals, and the kind of visionary thinking that transforms abandoned Holiday Inns into Napa Valley–level destinations for bourbon lovers.   Explore The Trail Hotel: https://www.thetrailhotel.com Follow The Trail Hotel: https://www.instagram.com/thetrailhotel   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.
