Right now, Brandon says, the performance of those businesses isn't looking great, which doesn't necessarily bode well for 2026. How should an individual owner make use of that information? Brandon has some suggestions.

He worked in sales and marketing before opening his own call center that grew to 150 employees and $12 million in revenue. After becoming bored with the call center business, Niko pursued day trading and eventually crypto trading, starting with a $30,000 investment in Online Trading Academy and later exploring crypto futures markets with up to 100x leverage.

Challenges of Achieving Success Niko and Michael discussed the challenges of achieving success, with Niko highlighting the hard work required to be among the one percent who achieve certain goals like visible abs or strong relationships. Michael shared an example from Australia about Tall Poppy Syndrome, where people are discouraged from standing out, and emphasized that success often involves long hours and overcoming self-doubt.

A dancer's career is often shorter than many others, and for the most part, there comes a time when the performer must pivot and find other ways to find value and joy in their craft. Joining us today is Danielle Guillermo, a former dancer turned dance consultant, as well as brand strategist and web designer. We begin with Danielle's background and how she got into the world of dance before learning how her home and school support structures gave her the confidence needed to excel in performance. Then, we examine how her career goals have evolved since high school, how being rejected from Juilliard was a blessing in disguise, her role at the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, and other early-career experiences, and everything that happened to instigate the second phase of her career. We also discover how Danielle began building websites, her journey as a brand strategist, why she chose the teaching route, and why it's possible (and healthy) for artists to have financial aspirations without compromising their art. To end, Danielle walks us through Dance News Daily — the news hub she built for the entire dance community — and we discover what she has planned for the near future as well as how to connect with her and her work.  Key Points From This Episode: Danielle Guillermo describes who she is and how she got into the world of dance. What drew her to ballet, and a journey through her time at dance school. How her support structures gave her confidence that she previously had to fake.  The goals she had when growing up in dance school and how they've evolved. Rejected from Juilliard: The ups and downs of her dancing education after high school.     The start of her career and her experience at Dayton Contemporary Dance Company.  Her European adventure, and everything that happened post-DCDC 2.  How Danielle's performance career ended and why she chose to focus full-time on teaching.  Breaking Glass: How she approached a career crossroads at the age of 31.  How artists can also have aspirations of financial freedom without compromising their art. Danielle's website-building career and how it's transformed her and her client's lives.   The importance of building a personal brand and making it visible to the right people.   Unpacking Dance News Daily – a news hub for the entire dance community.  Danielle's upcoming projects and what she's focused on moving forward.   How to connect with Danielle Guillermo and her work. "It looks like you're taking the focus off of the art and you're talking about money. For me, it's not one or the other. We as artists need to survive. And not just survive, let's look at thriving." — Danielle Guillermo For more on Danielle and Show Notes & Links: The Moving Architects Follow the podcast on Instagram & Facebook Donate to The Moving Architects today and support this podcast!

Eddie Hartman co-founded LegalZoom with a simple but radical idea: legal documents are just information, and information belongs online. Despite facing an industry of lawyers who wanted to sue the company out of existence, Eddie pushed forward to help launch one out of every four small businesses in California. Today, as a partner at Simon-Kucher, he advises global giants like Uber and Airbnb on pricing strategies, proving that the secret to success isn't just building things people want—it's building things people want to pay for.In this interview, Eddie sits down with Ryan Atkinson to deconstruct the psychology of the founder mindset. He explains why entrepreneurs need to be "insane in a specific way" to overcome the fear of failure and how to avoid the "single engine trap" of leaning too heavily on your natural strengths. Eddie breaks down the critical difference between chasing market share versus wallet share and explains how to become a "profitable growth architect" rather than just another business owner with a cool idea.If you are struggling to monetize innovation or wondering if your business model is built to last, this episode is a masterclass in strategy. You'll learn how to price your product to get to "yes," why you should embrace the fear of failure, and the specific steps you need to take to scale your business from a startup concept to an industry disruptor.Takeaways:- Build for Payment: Don't just build what people want; build what they are willing to pay for.- The Single Engine Trap: Avoid over-relying on your natural strength (like sales) while neglecting other business needs.- Growth Strategy: Successful companies chase market share and wallet share simultaneously.- Founder Psychology: You need "specific insanity"—the fear of failure combined with the certainty of success.- Price First: Validate the price point and willingness to pay before you build the product.- Strategic Packaging: Don't offer one price; create tiers to capture different customer segments.- Fear as a Shield: Use high barriers to entry (like fear of lawsuits) to keep competitors away.- Sales vs. Customers: A one-time transaction (especially a discounted one) is not a loyal client.- Stamina Over IQ: Success is often determined by the ability to "not stop" rather than raw genius.- Leverage Imposter Syndrome: Use the fear of not being good enough as fuel to outwork everyone else.Tags: Startup, Entrepreneurship, Pricing Strategy, Business Mindset, Small Business,  LegalZoomResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Eddie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddie-hartman

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Brian Schwartz — founder of SIZE, an advisory group of former C-suite operators supporting 60+ late-stage technology and consumer companies. Brian shares his global career journey across Expedia Group, DreamWorks Animation, and international markets, and opens up about how becoming a father reshaped his priorities, routines, and long-term plans. Brian reflects on raising a young daughter while building a high-performance career, the role of travel in expanding his children's worldview, and why financial readiness, stability, and aligned values mattered deeply in his family-planning decisions. He also explores the realities of modern parenting: evolving schedules, increasing responsibilities, and the need for a supportive partner, strong self-awareness, and intentional balance. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis — helping founders go further, together. Thanks for watching! Takeaways Brian created a Madagascar-inspired New Year's countdown for kids and spent years living abroad while building a global marketing career. Remote work allowed him to form a strong bond with his daughter as a present and engaged girl dad. Travel is a core family value — exposure to new cultures is a priority for his children. Family planning was rooted in financial readiness and modeled after his entrepreneurial parents. He values siblings close in age to build companionship and shared experiences. Parenting requires deep self-reflection and balancing joy with challenge. Brian questions the ROI of traditional education and prioritizes happiness and opportunity over financial success. A supportive partner, financial planning, and maintaining personal interests create healthier family dynamics. Children's activities increasingly shape family schedules, requiring constant adaptation. Success is defined by fulfillment and presence — not just financial outcomes.

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 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.
