Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAgeism is real and it's accelerating. In this episode, Pete Gilfillan breaks down how age discrimination is quietly forcing executives out of corporate life before they're ready—financially or emotionally—and what you can do to protect yourself.After decades in corporate America, Pete lived this story himself. Now, as a nationally recognized franchise consultant, he helps executives turn fear of being “phased out” into freedom through franchise ownership.In this episode, Pete covers:1. The Truth About AgeismHR News Canada reports that ageism in the workforce has surged 33%, and 50% of executives over 50 are pushed into early retirement before they're ready.2. Why a Paycheck Isn't Income SecurityCorporate loyalty is gone. Promotions stall, raises slow, and layoffs come fast. Franchise ownership gives you true income control—no one can decide your financial future for you.3. Build for Yourself, Not Someone ElseIn corporate life, your hard work builds another person's wealth. As a business owner, you're building your own asset—something that creates equity, stability, and a legacy.4. Regain Purpose and ImpactOwning a business gives you back the drive that corporate life often drains. You're the one making an impact in your community—creating jobs, serving people, and shaping your own culture.5. Lifestyle Flexibility and True FreedomAs a franchise owner, you decide when and how you work. No relocation, no forced retirements, no endless meetings—just control over your schedule and your life.6. Protect Your Retirement, Build a Legacy Franchise ownership creates an asset that can support your family long after you step away—either through ongoing income or as a business you can sell or pass down.Key Takeaways:Ageism is accelerating.Corporate jobs no longer guarantee income or security.Franchise ownership gives you control over your destiny, lifestyle, and legacy.The best way to beat ageism is to build something that no one can take away.“Ageism is real—but it doesn't have to define your future.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, shares his 25-year journey leading one of America's most iconic optical brands. He talks about growing the company from 100 to 130 locations and over $130 million in annual revenue, adapting to major industry disruptions, and mentoring the next generation of optometrists. John also dives into lessons on leadership, faith over fear, and the power of listening to customers. His story is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and building purpose-driven growth in a changing marketplace. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to John D. Marvin, the hardest thing about growing a small business is implementing change. He explains that it's easy to keep doing what's familiar, but real growth requires the courage to challenge old habits and adapt to new realities. Marvin points out that while individuals struggle with personal change, organizational change is even tougher—because it involves employees, resistance, and the fear of losing people. Yet, without embracing change, he says, a business risks becoming irrelevant. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? John D. Marvin's favorite business book is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. He says it has helped him the most because it lays out the 13 core principles of success, not just for making money but for living a rich and meaningful life. For Marvin, the biggest lesson from the book is that success begins with mastering your thoughts — what you focus on and believe ultimately shapes the results you achieve. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? John D. Marvin, former President and CEO of Texas State Optical, recommends continuously learning from great resources to grow a small business. He often listens to John Maxwell's Leadership Podcast for insights on personal and team development, and explores podcasts or materials by authors whose books he's currently reading to deepen his understanding. Marvin emphasizes the value of ongoing education through audiobooks and practical leadership content, believing that consistent learning, reflection, and application are key to adapting and thriving in business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? John D. Marvin recommends using strong time management and scheduling tools to grow a small business. He believes that success often comes down to discipline — keeping promises, managing priorities, and staying organized. Marvin emphasizes using a reliable calendar or planner, whether digital (like Apple Calendar) or traditional (such as Franklin Covey or Day-Timer systems), to plan ahead and follow through on commitments. For him, effective scheduling isn't just about productivity — it's about building trust, consistency, and professionalism, which are the real foundations of sustainable business growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? John D. Marvin says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple but powerful — just start. He admits that in his early years, he often delayed taking action because he felt he needed to study more or perfect his plan first. Over time, he realized that true learning and progress only happen through doing, not waiting. Marvin compares it to climbing mountains — you build the skills and confidence to tackle bigger challenges by starting with smaller ones. His message to new entrepreneurs: don't wait for perfect conditions — take the first step, learn along the way, and keep climbing.

Loyalty + first-party app (live Aug 12) is exceeding acquisition, retention, and redemption expectations—without being discount-driven. Differentiators include a weekday free biscuit + jam bar to drive dine-in and catering tied to loyalty (rewarding the gatekeeper). Rollouts are patient and pilot-heavy (a planned 2-week pilot stretched to 12 weeks) to ensure smooth ops for franchisees. Real estate is chosen via data-driven rifle shots (Placer, heat maps) plus on-the-ground visits and conversations with neighboring operators. Training is systematized (ExpandShare, videos, 4-week cadence) with weekly check-ins and detailed open checklists to prevent costly delays. The brand balances tech with true hospitality, resisting overly transactional models and emphasizing human guest experience. Headwinds: site/inspection bottlenecks, insurance spikes (e.g., Florida), labor costs, distribution hiccups, and storm recovery (e.g., Boone after Helene). Schedulefly is evolving Restaurant Owners Uncorked into a media business (films, articles, webinars, forums, maybe conferences) to foster peer learning, illustrated by George & Amanda's hands-on mentoring of Tyler Koch (PIE.ZAA).

Robots in Disguise – Die Welt der TransformersIn dieser Episode tauchen Daniel und Hardy tief ein in das vielseitige Universum der Transformers ein. Vom Ursprung der wandelbaren Roboter als japanische Spielzeugreihe über die ikonische Zeichentrickserie der 80er-Jahre bis hin zu Comics, Kinofilmen, Hörspielen und Videospielen – das Franchise hat viele Gesichter und eine beeindruckende Entwicklung hinter sich.Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden über ihre persönlichen Berührungspunkte mit Autobots und Decepticons, analysieren die kulturelle Bedeutung der Reihe und werfen einen Blick auf die Highlights und Kuriositäten der Transformers-Geschichte.
