In this solo episode of the I Fired My Boss podcast, host Dan Claps returns to the mic with a power-packed reflection on the fundamentals of building and scaling a successful franchise business. Drawing from his experience leading a fast-growing home services franchise system, Dan breaks down the core of business operations into a deceptively simple formula: generate leads, sell the job, deliver exceptional service, ask for reviews and referrals, and repeat. He emphasizes that while business may be simple in structure, it's far from easy—requiring relentless execution, consistency, and a deep commitment to doing the “boring” things well, day in and day out.Dan also parallels his personal fitness journey with entrepreneurship, highlighting the compounding power of repetition and delayed results. He dives into the psychology of success, the "whoosh" effect in both health and business, and how sticking to a daily playbook—especially in the early, gritty stages—can lead to massive breakthroughs. He ends the episode with a masterclass in home services sales, outlining a customer-centric, question-first approach that helps franchise owners and technicians build trust, uncover true customer needs, and close with confidence. Whether you're a franchise owner, franchisor, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is a high-value reminder that long-term success comes from mastering and repeating the basics—longer and better than anyone else.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them.

Let me guess.Your podcast doesn't feel hard exactly. It just feels… heavy.Like every episode requires:a pep talka prayerand maybe a small emotional support snackIf that's you, I've got good news.You're not lazy.You're not unmotivated.And your podcast is not broken.In this episode, I'm unpacking the real reason podcasting starts to feel exhausting — and spoiler alert: it's not because you need better ideas or more consistency.(If “just be more consistent” actually worked, none of us would be here.)What's actually happening is a structural breakdown that impacts us at the nervous system. Here's what I walk you through:Why your podcast feels heavy even when you like your messageThe sneaky way “trying harder” makes everything worseWhy your brain is tired of re-deciding things every weekWhat I mean by containment (no, not Tupperware… but also kind of)The ONE question that immediately lightens the load of your next episodeWhy belief work isn't one-and-done (and why that's good news)What healthy accountability really feels like ( steady, supportive, and not frantic).I also give you something you can do this week — no rebrand, no four-hour planning session, no spiraling required.Find out The Real Reason Your Podcast Feels Heavy (And How to Fix It) in this episode.

Most leaders talk about AI in terms of pilots, projects, and one-off tools. In this solo episode, host Susan Diaz explains why that mindset stalls adoption - and introduces the idea of an AI flywheel: a simple, compounding loop of audit → training → personalized tools → ROI that quietly turns experiments into momentum across your whole organisation. Episode summary Susan opens by contrasting how most organizations approach AI - pilots, isolated chatbots, a few licences to "see what happens" - with how enduring companies build flywheels that compound over time. Borrowing from Jim Collins' Good to Great, and examples like Amazon's recommendation engine, she reframes AI from "one big launch" to a heavy wheel that's hard to move at first, but almost impossible to stop once it's spinning. She then introduces her AI flywheel for organizations, built on four moving pillars: Audit - reality-check where AI already lives in tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails. Training - raise the floor of AI literacy so more people can safely experiment. Personalised tools and workflows - move beyond generic prompts into department- and workflow-specific systems. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, risk reduced, and adoption so the story keeps getting funded. Instead of a linear checklist, these components form a loop - each turn of the wheel making the next easier, and creating an unfair advantage for organizations that start early. Finally, Susan adds the outer ring: human-first culture and governance as the operating system around the flywheel - psychological safety, champions and mentors, and values like equity that ensure AI momentum doesn't quietly recreate hustle culture or leave people behind. She closes with practical questions any leadership team can use this week to start their own AI flywheel. Key takeaways Projects start and end. Flywheels don't. Treating AI as a string of pilots and vendor launches creates start–stop energy. Designing a flywheel turns every experiment into input for the next win. A flywheel is heavy at first - but gains unstoppable momentum. Like a giant metal train wheel, it needs a lot of initial force, but each full turn adds speed. AI works the same: early experiments feel slow, compounding learning later feels unfairly fast. The AI flywheel has four core pillars: Audit - map current tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails; discover hidden wins and power users. Training - treat AI like financial literacy: a minimum viable level for everyone so they can ask better questions and prompt more effectively. Personalised tools & workflows - stop asking "Which LLM?" and start asking "Which steps in this 37-step process should AI do?" Workflow first, tool second. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, faster time to market, risk reduction, and % of AI-augmented workflows so leaders keep investing. Culture is the operating system around the flywheel. Without psychological safety, people hide experiments. Without support, power users burn out. Values like equity matter: who's getting trained, who has access, and who you're helping reskill. Governance should feel like guidance, not punishment. You don't build an AI flywheel in a day. You start with one audit, one workflow, one dashboard that makes things more transparent - and commit to one small centimetre of momentum at a time.

Forty percent of buyers just want to click a button and purchase without ever talking to a salesperson. At the same time, most people want to be sixty to eighty percent through their own research before they even consider booking a call. In this new landscape, marketing is no longer a support function for sales. It is the engine. Brad explains why the balance has shifted to eighty percent marketing and twenty percent sales, and what that means for every business owner who wants to scale.In this episode of The $100M Entreprenuer Podcast, Brad unpacks the 100M growth flywheel and shows how each turn of the wheel builds momentum through three areas. First, he breaks down the three layers of lead generation, from top of funnel education to bottom of funnel buying decisions, and explains why you need at least seven hours of content across multiple platforms for serious buyers to study. Then he dives into how social media has become social proof media, why one in five posts should clearly tell people what you sell, and how raise your hand marketing, nurture sequences, and simple sales systems convert interest into revenue. Finally, he walks through retention, mapping the first hundred days, training A-grade customers, and using the power of “only” so you onboard the right clients at the right pace.If you are ready to build a growth flywheel that keeps spinning faster as you scale, this episode will give you the practical structure to start putting in place today.Subscribe now so you never miss a strategy that can change your business and your life.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

A great marketing engine doesn't run in a straight line. It spins, gathers speed, and builds momentum with every turn.That's the lesson of the flywheel, a framework that transforms scattered marketing efforts into a self-sustaining system of growth. In this episode, we explore how to turn that theory into reality with Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi.Together, we unpack what B2B marketers can learn from building circular strategies that connect brand to demand, removing friction where it matters most, and compounding small wins into unstoppable momentum.About our guest, Nataly KellyNataly Kelly is CMO at Zappi. She has over 20 years of experience leading remote and global teams, and previously served 7 years as VP at HubSpot. She is a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, a published author of four books, keynote speaker on marketing, growth, and international expansion, and an award-winning leader. She has been named among the Top 50 CMOs on LinkedIn, as Marketing Executive of the Year, in the 40 under 40, and one of the Top 25 Content Marketers in Enterprise Software, as well as among the Women Worth Watching.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Flywheel:Marketing is a flywheel, not a funnel. Marketers love funnels because they're measurable, but Nataly reminds us that the best marketing is circular, not linear. She says, “So often we have thought of marketing as like a linear funnel. But the flywheel's really where you turn the funnel on the side and then connect the top to the bottom.” In her model, brand, demand, land, and expand all feed each other in an ongoing loop. Marketing shouldn't be about one campaign that ends. It's about creating continuous energy that connects awareness to advocacy.Friction kills momentum. Velocity doesn't come from spending more, it comes from removing what slows you down. Nataly explains, “A general rule of thumb I've always used is the closer you get to someone's wallet, the more important it is to remove friction…. Every touchpoint is a chance to delight a customer.” In B2B marketing, the same rule applies: every confusing process, clunky message, or slow response is a brake on your flywheel. Smooth the path, and speed will follow.Small improvements compound into unstoppable growth. Marketers often look for a big splash, but Nataly says momentum comes from micro progress. Nataly asks, “What are the small things we can do to create uplift today and momentum today?... And those things add up.” Each small optimization—an improved touchpoint, a clearer message, a faster follow-up—removes friction and accelerates the flywheel. Consistency, not chaos, creates compounding power.Quote“Your brand voice is really how you decide to communicate with your customer. And that is not just what we typically consider marketing communications. It touches every part of the customer experience.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[01:09] Why Flywheels?[05:16] Role of Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[07:30] What are Flywheels?[20:52] Understanding Market Dynamics and Customer Segmentation[22:11] Building and Maintaining a Flywheel Strategy[26:11] Content Marketing Success Stories[33:51] Leveraging LinkedIn for Effective Content Distribution[39:22] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Nataly on LinkedInLearn more about ZappiAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

On this episode, in addition to listening to a newly restored version of “Nothing Behind the Door” by Wyllis Cooper, John and Joel Tefteller dive into the fascinating (and often painstaking) world of audio restoration. They're joined by Corey Harker, president of SPERDVAC (the Society to Preserve and Encourage Radio Drama, Variety, and Comedy) to talk about the group's history and its renewed push to keep classic radio alive. Corey and Joel get into the nuts and bolts of working with old transcription discs: how to clean up the sound without making it artificial, and just how much time and care goes into the process. To really show the difference, they play “before and after” examples from Quiet Please and Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel, a great reminder of why professional restoration matters. It's all about making sure these historic recordings don't just survive, but can actually be enjoyed by listeners today and generations to come.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions for business coaches gearing up for a successful season. Karl dissects business valuation multiples with practical examples, shares the best advice he's ever received (hint: mindset is everything), explains the flywheel concept in coaching, shows how people are more predictable than they think, and delivers a high-energy pep talk to relight the fire in any coach who's ready to level up. The show wraps with actionable strategies for focus and productivity—and plenty of classic Karlisms along the way. Key Topics Covered Understanding Business Valuation Multiples Karl reviews questions sparked by a previous discussion on laundromat valuations, clarifying why multiples change based on business size, predictability, scalability, and industry differences. He breaks down why scalability drives higher multiples, and emphasizes that growth and scale aren't the same. Mindset and “Emotional Home” Karl shares the most pivotal advice he's received: “You are what you think about.” He discusses the power of your self-talk (“I am…” statements), the importance of knowing your “emotional home,” and the compounding impact of clear, defined goals, using Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady as examples. The Flywheel and Clock Model To help listeners grasp the importance of momentum in business, Karl explains the flywheel (or “clock”) framework. He details how to apply it to money, lifestyle, procrastination, and business growth, demonstrating how well-structured systems compound positive results and how negative cycles (like procrastination) can spiral. Human Predictability and Coaching Shortcuts Karl illustrates just how predictable people are, sharing audience-tested mental tricks and the four main business owner challenges—sales, marketing, systems, and staff. He advises coaches to prepare solutions for these core areas to instantly build credibility and handle any business owner's problem. Pep Talk for Coaches: The 3 Core Beliefs With summer ending and the busy season beginning, Karl pushes coaches to ground themselves in three beliefs: the opportunity is there, you're the right person to seize it, and it will be worth it. He lays out the “3031 framework” (30 minutes a day for 30 days on one problem) to create momentum and encourages coaches to take consistent, focused action. Solving vs. Dissolving Problems Karl wraps by challenging listeners to ask if they're focusing on the right problems, and to “think on paper.” He urges coaches to step away from endless optimization and instead focus on proven, direct paths to landing clients and getting results. Notable Quotes “You are what you think about. Your thoughts control a lot. What you say after 'I am' matters.” “Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes. The business owner doesn't need another ad. What they need is a proper business model.” "People are predictable. If you put a business owner on the phone and ask for their biggest problem, it's almost always sales, marketing, systems, or staff.” “You have two people to impress: your nine-year-old self and your 90-year-old self.” “The secret is there is no secret. It's all just bloody hard work.” Actionable Takeaways Clarify Your Goal: Set a clear, specific target (like one live event per week with 10 decision-makers in the room). Big goals make daily actions obvious. Apply the Flywheel Framework: Think in loops and compounding progress—not just linear steps. Remember, positive cycles expand, and negative ones (procrastination, guilt) contract. Use the “3031 Framework”: Solve your #1 challenge by dedicating the first 30 minutes of every day for 30 days straight to it. Momentum beats motivation. Prepare Solutions: Be ready to address business owners' predictable issues: sales, marketing, systems, and staff. Have resources and frameworks in your back pocket. Think on Paper: Regularly map out your plans, strategies, and challenges using pen and paper (or digital notes). Don't try to solve complex problems in your head. Focus on Service and Real Results: Resist optimizing broken strategies. Direct outreach and targeted offers (not mass ads) are your fastest path to landing high-end coaching clients.

In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, we break down the Wealth Flywheel system—a framework for building assets that generate exponential momentum through cashflow reinvestment, covering how real estate rentals, subscription businesses, and dividend stocks create self-sustaining wealth machines that start slow but eventually replace your active income. We explore 15+ different flywheel types from single-family rentals to franchise ownership, walk through the 5 phases every flywheel goes through from ignition to freedom, and provide the exact 8-step blueprint to calculate your financial independence number, automate your wealth gap, and stack multiple flywheels until they generate enough passive income to achieve financial independence.
