Just caught the most recent episode of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan, and the value bombs keep coming! If you're building a business coaching practice (or supporting entrepreneurs in any fashion), here are 3 powerful takeaways that stood out to me: Clearly Define What You Want: Grab a pen and paper and map out your goals—don't leave your direction up to chance. If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. Think in Flywheels, Not Just Steps: Train your mind to see business models as cycles that fuel themselves. Success comes from consistent, iterative momentum—not just one-off tactics. Leaders Aren't Unphased—They're Unbothered: Don't chase an “easy life.” Instead, strive to become someone who stays steady, no matter what challenges arise. That's the real mark of a great coach or leader. Karl always brings a blend of strategic insight and actionable advice that's easy to implement right away. If you haven't tuned in yet, highly recommend giving it a listen! Ready to elevate your coaching business? Don't wait! Listen to this episode now and make strides towards your goals.

Welcome to the episode 29 of "Women In The Music Industry", a podcast that shines a spotlight on the remarkable women who are breaking barriers and making their mark in an industry that has long been dominated by men. My guest today is none other than Live Sound Engineer, Singer, Songwriter & Artist... Joie. Joie is a compelling presence in the music industry, merging talents as a singer-songwriter with technical prowess in live sound. Their musical journey, which took a professional turn in 2022, is marked by a lifelong engagement with music, culminating in a multifaceted career that spans performing and live sound engineering. Interestingly, Joie hadn't initially considered a career in live sound. The decision came after a friend highlighted the need for greater diversity within the field, emphasizing the importance of representation for women, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ individuals in Toronto's music scene as audio technicians. This insight propelled Joie to explore the technical side of music, aiming to fill the gap and bring a fresh perspective to the industry. Over the last year, Joie's work in live sound has taken them across Toronto Canada, working in venues such as The Rivoli, Burdock Brewery, and The Cameron House. Their technical role complements their identity as a singer-songwriter, where they craft songs that weave personal narratives with universal themes, resonating with a broad audience. Joie's transition into music and live sound engineering not only highlights their adaptability and dedication to their craft, but also positions them as an advocate for inclusivity within the music industry. Their story reflects a commitment to personal growth, diversity, and expression through music, making Joie a standout artist in Toronto's vibrant music community.

In the latest episode of The Digital Restaurant podcast, we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of the restaurant industry, particularly focusing on the technological innovations reshaping dining experiences. Our discussion begins with the intriguing shift in the ghost kitchen segment, highlighting notable industry players like Kitchen United and Crave. We explore whether the concept of ghost kitchens was merely a pandemic phenomenon or a fundamental shift in the food service industry, examining the transition of these kitchens into more sustainable, tech-driven models.We then transition to a captivating discussion on the blurring lines between the front of house (FoH) and back of house (BoH). Illustrating this trend, we spotlight a new fine dining restaurant in Brooklyn, which merges these traditionally separate spheres, providing diners with a more immersive and transparent experience. This segment delves into the broader implications of such innovations for casual dining and traditional restaurants, emphasizing the importance of experiential dining, transparency, and involvement in modern culinary experiences.Another critical topic we cover is the surge in drive-thru and throughput optimization in the fast-casual sector, using Modern Market as a case study. We discuss how this trend is not only enhancing customer experience but also streamlining operational efficiency, reflecting a broader shift in consumer preferences and dining habits.The episode also features a thought-provoking segment on Walmart's technological advancements and their potential implications for the restaurant industry. We explore how Walmart's investments in AI, robotics, and digital marketing could set new standards for the restaurant sector, particularly in improving customer experience, store advertising and operational efficiency.Lastly, we delve into the recent anti-trust investigations within the EU concerning food delivery marketplaces. This discussion highlights the growing scrutiny over the balance of power between delivery platforms and restaurants, exploring the impact on competition, pricing, and consumer choice.This episode of The Digital Restaurant not only offers deep insights into current trends but also forecasts the future of dining, from ghost kitchens and fine dining experiences to the integration of technology in fast-casual settings. It's a must-listen for anyone keen on understanding the dynamic interplay of technology, customer experience, and operational efficiency in today's restaurant industry.Support the show

Dom welcomes back in Mark Houck, a pro-life activist who was raided by the FBI after allegedly pushing a pro-choice activist outside a Planned Parenthood.

Also, Houck relives the FBI raid on his home, telling of the emotional impact on his children after seeing their father taken away for no apparent reason.

We're still coming to you from our hotel room in Costa Rica, and our time here has inspired us to talk about the difference between front and back-of-house. These are hospitality terms, but the principles can be applied to all product businesses. Front-of-house is when you're facing the customer. Think receptionists in a hotel or wait staff in a restaurant. In a product business, this could be your branding, customer service, or even your brick-and-mortar store. The front-of-house role has a human element to it, meaning that you are interacting with the customers, and making sure they are satisfied with your product and company. Back-of-house is more the operational side of things. In a hotel, this would be the cleaning staff, or, in a restaurant, it would be the chef working in the kitchen. In your business, “back of house” refers to pricing and financials, research and development, production and inventory, or shipping and fulfillment. When you start a business, you're likely wearing all of the hats within your company. As you start to scale and grow, you'll need to start delegating to reach that next level in your business. When you've reached this point, it's time for you to decide what your zone of genius is within your company. By doing so, you're able to really focus on what you're doing instead of struggling to keep up with all the hats.

"Everything is just a little bit sweeter" in Springfield, says today's guest, Mr. Matt Tignor, and this conversation is a great indicator of that. Matt embodies the kind of kindness and worldview that this world needs more of, and while his journey has taken him all over the country, he calls the 417 home and we're better off for it. From his time in the Navy to his time in Ohio, we cover a lot of ground in a hour, and have a blast with it. Speaking of Ohio, the musical interlude is from local musician Mike Henderson, an original titled "Cleveland". Enjoy the show! If you want to financially support the show, you can do so HERE.

Back of house vs. Front of house... fight. Anyone else get a mortal kombat throw back? Haha. In this episode we talk about the front house's perception of back of house. This seems to be the age old conversation that everyone in the restaurant industry has... The question of who does more? Who's more important? Whos job is more difficult? The reality is we all have our roles to play and we're all in it together.
