After starting as a barista in 1996 to becoming the co-founder, owner, and Co-CEO of Biggby Coffee, this week's guest on Insight Out is Mike McFall, a growth-minded entrepreneur that believes in the power of self-awareness, positivity, and conscious capitalism as the core values of a successful business.  His book, Grind: A No-Bullshit Approach to Take Your Business from Concept to Cash Flow, focuses on the importance of revenue and practical ways to build cash flow in a budding company. He also explores his philosophy that business requires us to be aggressive and simultaneously self-aware.  In this episode, Mike and I discuss the road to becoming CEO of a successful corporation, why conscious capitalism and company culture are at the core of employee retention, why focus is a critical component in building a business, and more. In this episode, we discuss: The key lessons that sailing around the world at 16 taught Mike (3:40) Mike's journey as a Red Wings fan and the importance of visioning work (5:43) A breakdown of the visualization process (10:06) How Mike was introduced to conscious capitalism and the way it transformed his business (13:10) How Mike became partners with Bob Fish (23:44) The importance of competition in business (27:28) Why self awareness is a critical component of your business (29:43) How to ask for valuable feedback (33:10) The biggest contributor to Biggby Coffee's success (35:41) Mike's advice for aspiring or current business owners (38:26)  Why entrepreneurs need to be like the sun (44:30)  Mike's approach to fostering a people-first company (48:07) How to develop company culture that respects the employees (51:37) Where to find Mike McFall and his final word of advice (56:35)  Notable Quotes: “When you say something enough, you begin to hear yourself say it, other people hear you say it, and they can support you. And it helps to reaffirm that you're on the course to go where you want to go.” – Billy (9:26) “The real root of conscious capitalism is that it's an inclusive environment where you don't make tradeoffs between these different components and that you make decisions that everyone benefits from.” – Mike (20:29)  “Your self awareness is the most critical component to the success of your business.” – Mike (30:31)  “In the end it's not about revenue. What it's about is it's about improving, and it's an obsession with improvement. And when we obsess with improvement… the revenue generation, the growth, is a subset of the obsession with improvement.” – Mike (42:34) “Leadership is about setting the example and then living within that constantly.” – Mike (47:16) “In the end, people just want to be around other people who they relate to and they feel a connection to as another human being.” (59:19) Resources & Links: Mike McFall  LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-biggby⁠  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mikejmcfall⁠ Biggby Coffee: ⁠https://www.biggby.com/⁠  Billy Samoa Saleebey  LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa⁠  Email: ⁠billy@podify.com⁠ and ⁠saleebey@gmail.com⁠  Insight Out  Website: ⁠https://insightoutshow.com/⁠ This is an encore episode and was originally published on December 30, 2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of HALO Talks, industry veteran CJ Bouchard opens up to host Pete Moore about the realities of entrepreneurship in the fitness industry, sharing candid stories of risk, resilience, and what it really means to build from the ground up. From betting his savings on a fledgling franchise in North Carolina and initially making daily two-hour commutes, to pivoting and learning tough lessons about club size, site selection, and market expansion, CJ reveals how grit, adaptability, and a clear mission have fueled Excel Fitness's phenomenal growth. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) is one of the largest and fastest-growing operators of fitness centers in the U.S, and Excel Fitness Holdings is one of their largest franchisees currently operating 150+ clubs in Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Georgia, and Virginia. Their mission is to build a team culture and atmosphere constructed on trust, humility, and strong relationships, always leading by example and putting others first with the utmost integrity, dedication, and accountability. Pete and CJ also dive into how partnering with private equity has transformed the business, what it takes to be a successful operator in today's market, what to expect when working with a PE firm, and the importance of building a strong team and community-driven approach. CJ also shares the meaning behind his "Hope is not a strategy" tattoo, and why execution—not wishful thinking—remains his guiding principle. Whether you're a club owner, aspiring HALO sector entrepreneur, or curious about how major fitness brands expand, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real-world advice, and plenty of inspiration from one of the industry's top leaders. Key themes discussed Entrepreneurial journey and early struggles in fitness industry. Evolution and disruption of the Planet Fitness business model. Challenges involved in club building and expansion. The critical importance of location for a gym's success. Strategic growth: Acquisitions, private equity, and territory development. Leadership style: Clarity, vision, and execution over hope. A Few Takeaways: 1.Entrepreneurial Grit & Humble Beginnings: Bouchard started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer without a college degree, working in Connecticut's gym scene and grinding through tough times. He didn't take a paycheck for two years and put payroll on credit cards when launching his first Planet Fitness in North Carolina. Real entrepreneurship often means sacrifice, resilience, and relentless commitment. 2. Evolution from "Hardcore" Gyms to Disrupting the Market: CJ's transition from traditional gyms (Gold's, World Gym, etc.) to Planet Fitness highlights a change in business philosophy. It went from focusing on "results" to focusing on "access." He recognized Planet's disruptive model early on, betting on a concept that many were skeptical about and ultimately building one of the largest Planet Fitness area development companies in the country. 3. Importance of Site Selection and Operational Knowledge: Both Bouchard and Moore emphasized how crucial it is to understand the nuances of real estate, site selection, and the operational details of running clubs. The value of personally touring sites and knowing the history and layout of each location is essential. Software and reports can't replace firsthand experience. 4. Strategic Growth: Mergers, Acquisitions & Private Equity: Under CJ, Excel Fitness strategically expanded through acquiring clubs, merging with other operators, and partnering with private equity (Olympus Partners.) CJ shared how growth now includes both new club development and acquisitions of existing gyms (like Texas Family Fitness), always with an eye on preserving legacy and community as much as possible. 5. Culture, Team, and Values: CJ's leadership philosophy stresses execution, daily engagement in operations, and a moral compass focused on building communities through fitness. His tattoo "Hope Is Not a Strategy" clearly shows his belief in preparation and action, not relying on luck. He also spoke passionately about valuing long-term employees and creating opportunities for others in the organization.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby—licensed marriage and family therapist, psychologist, board-certified coach, and author of Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love. Known for her top-ranking podcast Love, Happiness, and Success, Dr. Bobby opens up about the grit, vision, and entrepreneurial drive that shaped her life's purpose. She shares how a deeply personal tragedy during 9/11 sparked her shift from creative pursuits to a mission-driven career in counseling and coaching, and how her relentless curiosity and desire to help others led her to build a thriving, internationally recognized group practice. Together, Dr. Lisa and Mike 'C-Roc" explore the duality of ambition—the light that fuels impact and the shadow that can consume us—and the turning points that push people to reassess their lives, legacies, and capacity for growth. From redefining what therapy and coaching should deliver, to understanding obsession, rest, resilience, and meaning, this conversation is an inspiring look at the intersection of purpose, personal evolution, and the courage to pursue the work we are truly made for.Website-www.growingself.com Social Media Links/Handleshttps://www.instagram.com/drlisamariebobby/?hl=en www.linkedin.com/in/drlisabobby/

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Heneka Watkis-Porter shares a message that has been resting on her heart for months. After years of inspiring conversations, thought-provoking interviews, and groundbreaking contributions to the Caribbean podcasting space, Heneka reveals that God has been calling her into a new season—one that requires her to lay this podcast down. What began as a quiet stirring in her spirit grew into undeniable confirmation. Heneka openly reflects on her initial disappointment, the gradual peace that followed, and the divine affirmations that made the direction clear. One of the most impactful came during an interview with Nerissa Golden, whose prophetic words confirmed that Heneka's assignment as the “podcast queen” had reached its completion. Despite previously planning episodes through December, Heneka explains how returning from the LeadHerShip Cruise made it impossible to continue. She cancelled upcoming interviews and embraced the truth: something greater is ahead. Throughout this farewell message, Heneka also shares: The spiritual call that prompted her to end the podcast. Nerissa Golden's prophetic insight that brought clarity and confirmation. The evolution of Caribbean podcasting and Heneka's pioneering role. Why she is also stepping back temporarily from The Entrepreneurial You TV show. A heartfelt message of gratitude to listeners, guests, sponsors, and partners. Encouragement for listeners to walk boldly into their own God-given purpose. When Heneka launched The Entrepreneurial You, very few in the Caribbean even knew what a podcast was. Today, the region is filled with podcasters and loyal listeners—a movement she helped ignite. She acknowledges this season with pride, gratitude, and a readiness for the next chapter God has prepared. Though this is the final episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, it is not an ending—it's a transition. Heneka encourages everyone to stay connected for what's next, reminding us that the journey of purpose is ever-unfolding. “Your best is yet to come.” — Heneka Watkis-Porter The conversation that held the final confirmation:Living Fearless: Overcoming Fear to Build Bold, Purpose-Driven Businesses with Nerissa Golden

Here's the thing that still puzzles me: We all know entrepreneurship drives innovation, creates jobs, and fuels economies. We know that. But, it's still not a core part of how we educate, how we train, how we think about the future of learning and work.Today's guest is Jonathan Ortmans, who is, in my opinion, one of the loudest, clearest voices pushing to change that.As the founder of the Global Entrepreneurship Network, he is one of the few true global thinkers, leaders, and doers when it comes to promoting entrepreneurship as a means of both economic and human development.And it all started as a result of his own entrepreneurial journey. After starting and exiting several companies, he recognized the need to encourage and support entrepreneurship as a means of “economic gardening.” And, as an entrepreneur, he decided to do something about it.In this episode, we talk about ecosystems, policy, culture, and most importantly—how we activate the potential in ordinary people to solve problems and create value.
