    What does a CEO from the hundred-million-dollar corporate world know about running a small screen printing shop? As it turns out, everything.Dan Frank left a career in global logistics to acquire a local print shop, convinced that elite business principles in efficiency and productivity could transform small businesses into multi-million dollar companies. His theory was put to the ultimate test when the pandemic hit six months later, forcing him to innovate or fail. The result: he doubled the business and scaled to nearly 100 employees.In this interview with Ryan Atkinson, Dan unpacks the exact operational playbook he used to engineer this explosive business growth. He reveals the secrets to applying lean manufacturing on a small scale, building a merit-based company culture , and the best way to maintain high employee retention. For any owner looking to break through a growth plateau, this episode is a masterclass in turning a traditional business into a high-performance machine!Takeaways:- Apply core principles of manufacturing, efficiency, and budgeting to any business, regardless of its size. High-level strategies are not just for large corporations.- Use a major crisis as a catalyst for innovation. Instead of just cutting back, pivot your business model, invest in technology, and re-engineer processes to fuel future growth.- To improve efficiency, you must first measure it. Implement systems that track daily productivity and set clear, obtainable performance standards for employees to strive toward.- Create a system where compensation and promotions are directly tied to measurable performance. This "meritocracy" directly rewards and motivates your highest-achieving employees.- Foster a high-performance environment by investing directly in your team. This can include significantly increasing pay, adding full benefits, and implementing a profit-sharing program tied to performance.- Implement a strict probationary period and be prepared to let go of new hires who are not a cultural fit. This "fire fast" approach protects your company culture and leads to higher long-term retention.- Scaling your business successfully requires building a reliable management team through years of mentoring, daily production huddles, and fostering a collaborative problem-solving environment. - Build a "winning culture" by setting realistic and achievable goals. Avoid demoralizing "stretch goals"; instead, set targets that allow your team to win consistently, which builds motivation.- Identify and intensely focus on your single most controllable expense. For Dan, managing labor costs as a specific percentage of revenue was the key to ensuring overall profitability.- Place your leadership directly where the core work is done. Moving supervisors from offices to the production floor eliminates a potential "us vs. them" culture and keeps them engaged in daily operations.Tags: Retail Goods, Print Shop, Lean Manufacturing, Entrepreneurship, Business Growth Resources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/451nU5V Connect with Dan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-frank-60766aa/

    Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 1 The apostle Paul writes to the church in Corinth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, addressing their divisions and calling them to unity in the gospel. Paul reminds them of their calling to be sanctified in Christ and to live as saints, relying on the grace and strength of God. He emphasizes that Christ is the source of wisdom, righteousness, and redemption, urging them to focus on the cross rather than human wisdom or eloquence. Paul laments their divisions, as some align themselves with specific leaders instead of Christ. He stresses that the message of the cross may seem foolish to the world, but it is the power of God to those being saved. Paul encourages the church to boast only in the Lord, whose wisdom surpasses all understanding. Despite the various issues that need addressing within the church, this letter begins with optimism and reassurances regarding salvation through Jesus. As fellow believers, we should approach our shortcomings with hope and confidence in our King. If we all honor and appreciate Jesus, we can navigate disagreements by uniting with Him and His teachings. We can avoid division if we move toward Jesus. Christians must remember that “the word of the cross” and “Christ crucified” is our salvation. We have all chosen God's wisdom over this world's foolishness. While quarrels and sins may need addressing and changes may be necessary among us, we will support each other as fellow children of God, boasting in Jesus and not in ourselves.  Unifying Father, help us embrace Your spirit of oneness in Your Son. Grant us the faith to recognize how Your grace revitalizes and empowers us. We pray that Your people concentrate more on what unites us than what Satan plots to divide us. Foster humility in each of us to prevent division and partisanship. We boast in Christ alone. This world disparages the simple, saving gospel of Jesus Christ, but God's wisdom surpasses the world in every way. Who will demonstrate to the world that God's way is best? May it be us, united in love and courageous in faith.  Thought Questions: -       Why is division so alluring for some? What leads people to align themselves with differing teachers? And what is the remedy for this? -       Why is “the word of the cross” foolishness to so many in the world? Why have you decided “Christ crucified” is worth your entire life of service? -       How has God put the world to shame with His accomplishments in Christ? What does Christ offer and provide that the world never can?

    This week on Family Plot, we're joined by our youngest plotter—8-year-old Lexi Boese—who asked us to tell the story of Autherine Juanita Lucy, the first Black student admitted to the University of Alabama. Her brave enrollment in 1956 was court-ordered and historic… and it ignited the largest anti-integration riot in American history. What followed was a shameful twist: Lucy was expelled “for her safety”—a coward's move cloaked as concern. Even the local Birmingham paper applauded the university's decision, celebrating the city's “peace”—a peace built on exclusion. (Yeah… that didn't age well.) In this episode, we dive into Lucy's incredible journey:Her decision to challenge segregationThe three harrowing days she spent on campusThe court's demand to reinstate her—and the university's retaliatory slander banHer triumphant return in 1988, earning a master's degree the same year her daughter graduated with a BAThis isn't just a story—it's resistance wrapped in legacy. And with Lexi, Arthur, Laura, and Dean at the table, we explore how one woman's courage changed history. Pull up a seat.

    In the summer of '75 it was becoming clear that something special was happening in Boston. A rookie centerfielder was having a season for the ages. Fred Lynn would lead the Sox to the pennant behind one of the greatest, if not THE greatest rookie season in baseball history. The first year sensation would become the first player to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season. It culminated in a World Series that 50 years later is considered to be one of the all-time classics with the Sox and the Reds providing thrill after thrill that saw reach a 7th game after Carlton Fisk's legendary home run over the Monster and off the Pole in left to win Game 6. It was widely considered the sports story of the year with future Hall of Fame players throughout both rosters. The star power of Rose, Rice, Yaz, Morgan, Fisk and Perez along with Tiant, Lynn, Concepcion, Foster, and Griffey was off the charts… and the Big Red Machine finally prevailed in that game 7 to win the Series. That was one to remember… the other big story was one we'd like to forget… The Match Race between Foolish Pleasure and the great filly, Ruffian was the talk of the horse racing world and the excitement at Belmont Park was similar to when Secretariat was going for the triple crown at the same track two years earlier…  After a blistering 1/4 mile, Ruffian had just taken the lead by a neck over the Kentucky Derby winner… in fact, that first 1/2 mile was the only time in Ruffians career she ever trailed in a race… she was running with the boys and holding her own… when she suffered a catastrophic leg injury breaking two bones in her right leg. The great horse continued to run for a bit even on the broken leg as her jockey Jacinto Vasquez tried to bring her to a stop. The jubilant atmosphere came to a sudden stop at the race track and nationwide as the TV audience realized what had just taken place… there was no way to describe it, yet that was the job of Dave Johnson, the track announcer at Belmont… Even he was at a loss for words as the ambulance made its way on to the track to tend to the fallen horse… she would be carted away, and after multiple attempts to save her, the great Ruffian was finally put to rest. Johnson was off the next two days, but when he returned to work on Wednesday he said there was one word that described everything…  “Crying” Everyone was crying. Writers, trainers, guys in the stall… women in the offices… everywhere you went, people were at a loss… In a career that would span over 50 years, it was as tough a day as Johnson can recall. Now 84, the legendary Horse Racing announcer is still as energetic and exuberant when it comes to the sport he loves. On the Past Our Prime podcast, Johnson shares inside details on that horrific July day when Ruffian rode for the final fatal time… He talks about how the atmosphere at the track was electric and how he thought Ruffian would remain undefeated after beating Foolish Pleasure… but it didn't happen the way anybody thought it would. Johnson also reflects on the recent passing of his good friend, D. Wayne Lukas and gives personal insights to what made him such a great trainer… and an even better person. The legendary trainer was 89 years old when he died June 28th… just 16 days after the final horse he trained won a race… Johnson claims his work ethic was second to none and that Lukas was everything that was good about the sport. “And down the stretch they come!!!”… A legendary call from a legendary broadcaster talking about a legendary horse and a legendary trainer… sounds like a legendary show… and it is… The Past Our Prime podcast with Dave Johnson… listen wherever you get your podcasts.
