It's been revealed someone walked into an accident and emergency department in Kent every 23 seconds in November. The number of people waiting more than 12 hours to be admitted to a ward has also risen. In the three months from September, it was more than 4,000 patients - compared to just over 500 during the same period last year. It comes as the government's urging us not to take unnecessary risks today, as thousands of ambulance staff go out on strike. Paramedics and call handlers here in Kent are among those walking out in a dispute over pay and working conditions. The army's been drafted in to help out as NHS leaders warn they cannot guarantee the safety of patients. We spoke to Murray Robinson from the GMB union - who was out on the picket line at Medway Ambulance Station. Our other top stories, and investigations are underway following the death of a man in Sittingbourne. The victim was found with stab wounds at a property off College Road in the early hours of this morning. The future of one of Medway's oldest pubs is uncertain after the landlord announced he was calling time on New Year's Eve. John Brice has run The King George 5th in Brompton for the past 20 years - he's been telling us why he's decided to shut. The MP for Dartford's described an expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone to the border of Kent as 'the most unfair, undemocratic form of taxation this country has ever seen'. From next August, motorists using older vehicles will have to pay a charge to drive into all 33 of the capital's boroughs. It's part of efforts to cut air pollution. But during a debate in Westminster Hall, Gareth Johnson said it would be financially damaging for residents and the economy, and accused Mayor Sadiq Khan of just trying to make money. And, in football, Gillingham have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup after losing 2-0 to Premier League side Wolves in the fourth round. Gills manager Neil Harris spoke to us after the match.
A mum from Edenbridge who spent 18 months in agony has finally been diagnosed, after flying to Poland to see a doctor. Agnieszka Gray spoke to her GP, a gynecologist and even went to A&E four times - but says no one took her pain seriously. A doctor in Poland almost immediately realised she had endometriosis which affects the ovaries - hear from her and our reporter who covered the story. Also in today's podcast, there's been a sharp rise in the number of households in need of emergency housing in Kent's most deprived district. A total of 542 people in Thanet have had to be given the support during the last financial year - that's almost double than the previous one. Chris Thomas from homelessness charity Porchlight warns of a "crisis" this winter. The Home Secretary says it's becoming incredibly difficult to find accommodation for asylum seekers who are crossing the Channel in small boats. A controversial processing site in Thanet has now been cleared following concerns about overcrowding and poor conditions. Suella Braverman's been giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee in Parliament. The MP for Dartford has called for Just Stop Oil to be classified as a criminal organisation. Gareth Johnson's spoken out in the Commons after two men climbed the Dartford Crossing last month as part of a climate protest. The winter season is officially under way for the people who make sure our roads are clear of frost and snow over the next few months. The KentOnline Podcast's been told how almost 120 gritters are on standby along with more than 63,000 tonnes of salt. We've been chatting with Matt Salt from National Highways. And in football, hear from manager Neil Harris following Gillingham's draw at Crawley Town. It means the Gills have been unable to climb out of the League Two relegation zone.
Most of us would love to own a tropical island. Our pocketbook dictates that's not in the cards for most of us. Well today's guest is Marshall Mayer from Let's Buy An Island. He and his business partner Gareth Johnson recently completed the purchase of Coffee Island in Belize. The amazing part of their journey is how they raised the capital for the purchase---crowding funding, or as Marshall likes to call it "Community Funding." They are the first to ever accomplish this feat.Learn how they pulled it off, why Belize, and what their plans are now that they, along with their funders own a piece of paradise. Learn the meaning of the phrase "Micronation." For more go to LetsBuyAnIsland.com.
EPISODE SUMMARY: In Episode 107 of The Business Equation, I sit down with Luke Van Der Veer to talk about Rank & Rent SEO. What is it, how does it work, how can it help you generate leads for your business, and how can you tap into Luke's expertise on the subject and work with him directly? We also talk about how virtual assistants (VAs) can help your business thrive as well.ABOUT LUKE: Luke Van Der Veer received an MBA in Human Resources and, right out of grad school, landed a highly sought-after position at General Electric as a Benefits Analyst. Although his family and friends congratulated him on getting a job with such a prestigious company, he hated it. Only one week into working at GE, he was already searching for a way to escape the corporate 9-to-5 grind. He tried it all—affiliate marketing, network marketing, Facebook advertising and even selling products on eBay and Amazon. Although he got one of his side hustles up to $35K a month, he was still working seven days a week and reinvesting the money to grow his business. That's when he came across a lead generation method called "Rank & Rent SEO" and spent thousands of dollars and months of his time refining the most effective system. By the six-month mark, he had entirely replaced his full-time income, finally quit his job at GE and has never looked back. One of his students, a concrete contractor, earns more than $20K a month from a single lead generation website.Learn more about Luke and the Rank & Rent SEO approach at websiterentalcoaching.comQuestions for Nick?

EPISODE SUMMARY: In Episode 106 of The Business Equation, I'm joined by Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of OriginClear, for a great conversation about how Riggs and his company are using innovation and cutting-edge technology to execute their operations AND pay their investors. We also dig into Riggs' professional history and learn about how he arrived at OriginClear.ABOUT RIGGS: Riggs Eckelberry, a tech pioneer at the intersection of water & crypto. He is the founder and CEO of the innovative water technology company, OriginClear, which is delivering water solutions for industrial customers worldwide. OriginClear has developed and licensed an invention that treats industrial and agricultural waste water with very little energy, and no chemicals. And now, industrial users can treat their water right where they use it, using prepackaged “point of use” water treatment systems that have an amazing life cycle of up to 100 years or more. Washington is frantically allocating billions upon billions to water infrastructure funding. But, says Riggs Eckelberry, fast-growing inflation will kill all these massive programs. Sure, they'll add the cost overruns. But you can't keep up with a runaway train. Riggs has the solution: direct, local, decentralized action. His prefab, modular water systems can be delivered directly to industry with no money upfront, just pay by the gallon, on long- term contracts that are indexed for inflation.Here's the twist: Riggs intends to pay investors their continuing profit shares in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Given the 50-year plus lifecycles of these systems, he expects a huge premium on these NFTs, and they will be tradeable. Riggs predicts this could scale up into the first global water marketplace, potentially supporting subsidized projects in poverty-stricken areas. Is this science fiction? Ask Riggs and find out. Riggs was once a happy tech executive. In 2005, he helped take a security software company public as its president. Then, he pitched a fund and─long story short─Riggs ended up as CEO of a small public company working to disrupt industrial water, a huge, but slow-moving trillion- dollar global market. Riggs is uniquely qualified to disrupt this industry, having learned management in the nonprofit space, captained oceangoing ships, and achieved several tech exits during the dot-com boom.Connect with Riggs and learn more about OriginClear at originclear.comQuestions for Nick?

EPISODE SUMMARY: It's time to convert your home equity into cold hard cash! Introducing a new, innovative way to make the most of your equity without taking on a loan and being saddled with monthly payments. To introduce you to this new initiative, I'm pleased to welcome Matthew Sullivan, the CEO & Founder of QuantmRE, onto the show. He's going to break down how this new strategy works and how he and his company plan to build on the infrastructure they've put in place to date.ABOUT MATTHEW & HIS NEW INITIATIVE: Matthew is the CEO and Founder of QuantmRE, a company that solves a real problem for homeowners by helping them access a portion of their home equity without taking on more debt. This new financing tool is not a HELOC, it's not a loan and it's not a reverse mortgage. That means homeowners can get cash from their equity with no interest and no monthly payments. Matthew and his team have helped over a hundred homeowners use their home equity to pay off expensive credit cards, remodel their home, pay college tuition fees or to diversify into other investments, all without taking on extra debt.

EPISODE SUMMARY: How much emphasis are you putting on your overall digital presence?While it appears that social media rules the roost when it comes to how brands choose to enhance their visibility, there is a ton of value in Search Engine Optimization, or SEO.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Taking the steps to sell your business is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make in your life. There is much to consider and many bases to cover...and it requires getting into a mindset that you are ready to turn the enterprise you've spent years building over to someone else. Without question, you should never start a business without an exit strategy in mind. But everything has to line up fiscally AND emotionally to pull that trigger and walk away successful.On Episode 101 of The Business Equation Podcast, I am joined by Robert Clinkenbeard, the CEO of The Radix Group, LLC. Robert made the decision to sell his first company (to the tune of $20M) and now operates other successful enterprises. Today, he's going to share his knowledge on when it makes sense to sell, the mindset you need to develop as an entrepreneur to push through challenging times, how to keep communication strong within large organizations with hundreds of employees, and much more.ABOUT ROBERT: Robert Clinkenbeard is the CEO of The Radix Group, LLC which has offices in Greenville, Phoenix, and the UK.

EPISODE SUMMARY: There are a lot of things in your life that you can control...and a lot of things you cannot. Regardless of how hard you try, things are going to happen that impact you in a negative way. Knowing this is inevitable, it's important to understand that having resiliency and learning from those negative experiences will make you stronger as you continue to forge ahead in your endeavors.One thing that is in your control is your ability to master your craft. Your ability to get better at what you do each and every day. If you're willing to put in the work, you have a much larger chance of being the best at what you do. It takes daily effort. It takes positive mindset. It takes a commitment to improvement and never getting complacent in your practices.Episode 99 of The Business Equation Podcast exemplifies this philosophy.

EPISODE SUMMARY: What are some of the traits you look for when building a team that will take your brand to the next level?

EPISODE SUMMARY: Think about the last time you had a great customer experience. Everything clicked. The service was spot on, the staff was friendly, and the ambiance was exactly what you expected when you first decided to patronize that business. That type of experience is something that will bring you back time and time again PLUS, you'll be more apt to tell others about how well things went. It's a great feeling.Now, think about the last time you had a terrible customer experience. Definitely not as good of a feeling, right? For whatever reason, the mark was just missed and you were left with a bad taste in your mouth, questioning whether you'd ever do business with that company again.The quality of customer experience is something all companies should be focusing on in 2021 and beyond with all their might. Likewise, the power of effective marketing practices cannot be overlooked in a world that's filled with numerous options all battling for a consumer's attention.In Episode 97 of The Business Equation Podcast, I am pleased to welcome Dr. Charles Livingston onto the mic for a candid discussion about effective marketing techniques, creating the ultimate customer experience, building a brand from nothing to seven figures, and much more.As you'll learn when you dig into today's episode, Dr. Livingston started out as a chiropractor and, after discovering a friend of his started making seven figures a year in the same time it took him to complete chiropractic school, decided to pivot and immerse himself in digital marketing. He learned the ropes from the ground up and eventually found himself building top-tier organizations and earning seven figures himself! His current company, Lifeboost Coffee, is approaching its second appearance on the Inc 500 List.Dr. Livingston is an avid student and focuses on his self-education every day. When he doesn't understand something, he seeks further knowledge...even going as far as to hire a coach to help him progress, like he did when he wanted to get involved with cryptocurrency. He believes in always learning from failures and finding a solution to a customer's problems by any means necessary.Connect with Dr. Livingston and get your hands on some Lifeboost at lifeboostcoffee.com.Questions for Nick?

EPISODE SUMMARY: You can never underestimate the impact good communication can have in business (and in life as a whole). Efficient communication typically means an organization is hitting on all cylinders, cranking out positive results and keeping employees happy and engaged. Poor communication typically means productivity is on a decline, results are falling short of targets, and employee morale continues to dip.On Episode 96 of The Business Equation Podcast, I'm joined by Karl Maier, the Founder of Abunden. Karl walks us through some of his early successes, as well as early failures, all leading to this current venture that helps companies improve employee engagement, thus leading to better results and practical growth.ABOUT KARL: Karl Maier has been successfully helping business owners transform from a limiting single manager mode to a scalable management team mode so they can continue to grow their companies.In his various roles over the past 25 years, he has led 6 established companies to double sales in 2 years including one that continued to grow sales by a factor of 7X in 4 years.

EPISODE SUMMARY: If 2020 taught us anything, it was how to deal with adversity. How to navigate through unknown situations. How to adjust and pivot when necessary.In business, the unexpected can happen at any point, throwing operations and procedures into complete disarray and forcing business owners to adapt to the situation...or see the enterprise they worked so hard to build perish before their very eyes.The unexpected happened to Aaron Stokes several years ago. Running a thriving auto repair business, he discovered he was the victim of a well-orchestrated theft...one that, to this day, is still the largest on record in the state of Tennessee.Aaron saw relationships begin to crumble, debt begin to pile up, and hope seemingly slip through his fingers as each day went on. Fortunately, Aaron is a fighter and wasn't about to let years of hard work and dedication fade away without a battle. With a solid support system pushing him forward, he ignored the inner voice that told him to give up and fought to bring things back together again.On Episode 95 of The Business Equation Podcast, Aaron Stokes, Founder of Shop Fix Academy, joins me to tell his story and inspire you when you may be at a point where you need it most. Not only will Aaron tell you about his story of overcoming theft and debt, he'll share how he kept his businesses operational through the COVID-19 pandemic and give you encouragement to keep a positive mindset when even the darkest storm clouds roll in.This is a phenomenal conversation you don't want to miss.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Positively visualizing your goals, your desires, and where you want to be in life is the first critical step in the process. It's been talked about time and time again on this podcast with every guest who has picked up a mic because the most successful entrepreneurs understand nothing will happen until their mindset is fully aligned with their goals and visions.In Episode 94 of The Business Equation Podcast, I'm bringing you a special message in solo format about the power of positive visualization. It took me many years of hard work, consistent effort, and, above all else, visualizing what I wanted and keeping the mindset it would take to get me there in tact. From reading books to practicing strategies found within 'The Secret' and 'Think and Grow Rich' to imagining my work uniform for other companies was actually my own, my road to success certainly wasn't paved overnight. But what you'll find in today's show is how I put positive visualization to work in my world and how it continues to drive the accomplishments I achieve, both personally and professionally.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Most entrepreneurs start with nothing and build their business from the ground up. In the age of social media, you may not see all that behind-the-scenes struggle, but every successful brand, company, and professional you encounter had to develop a mindset that helped them push through the difficult times, get lean when it was necessary, and sacrifice whatever it took to reach the pinnacle of success.In Episode 92 of The Business Equation Podcast, I'm joined by serial entrepreneur Shawn Khorrami to dig deeper into what it takes to build a mindset that will carry you from zero to your definition of success. Among many critical philosophies that he reveals on today's show, Shawn shares his background of starting his life in Iran and migrating to America before he was a teenager, as well as how his father taught him at a young age that "what's yours is yours." This instilled the belief that everything you want out of life is worth fighting for, and as he's built several successful businesses over the years, he hasn't looked back.MORE ABOUT SHAWN: Shawn is a serial entrepreneur, having started and managed more than a dozen businesses, up to $100 million in revenue, involving products and services across a wide range of verticals.

EPISODE SUMMARY: As more Americans receive vaccinations, we continue to push towards a life after COVID-19.

That journey has led to several successful ventures that Jeff and his partners sold. From there, all roads led to Everbowl.Within Everbowl, Jeff discovered a few issues that continued to repeat themselves as he expanded his brand and operations.

EPISODE SUMMARY: When you're hiring talent for your business, you're faced with two options: hire based specifically on the talent of that individual or hire based on how that individual will fit your company culture and values. It may seem logical to hire based on talent alone, but if a new team member does not align with your core values and the culture you've worked so hard to build, the potential for friction and issues throughout your organization immediately becomes more prevalent.If you hire someone because their values align with yours, the probability of them staying with you long-term AND helping your business grow is much higher. You can train them on specific tasks you want them to excel in and give them space to grow into their position, but it's harder to do that when someone marches to the beat of their own drum.In Episode 88 of The Business Equation Podcast, I'm joined by none other than David Finberg, the founder of Peaks Digital Marketing and a successful entrepreneur who transitioned from life as a car mechanic to that of company owner and marketing expert. David built Peaks Digital by hiring the right people for his organization and has proven that onboarding around culture and values can lead to positive results.In addition to David sharing how he built Peaks Digital, we also talk about the undeniable value Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, has in today's marketplace, some basic strategies and approaches you can implement to leverage the power of SEO, the mindset you need to transition from the traditional career path to business ownership, and much more.MORE ABOUT DAVID: David Finberg has been building websites since the age of 9 and decided to go all-in on the digital marketing industry in 2015 when he founded Peaks Digital Marketing. Since then, he's generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue and has a passion for growing small businesses and corporations through data-driven ROI-centered strategies. As a "Digital Sherpa" for his clients, David helps guide them on the best online path for the success of their business.

EPISODE SUMMARY: If you've been a long time listener of The Business Equation, you know how powerful positive mindset can be. With it, you have real, genuine opportunity to accomplish big things. Without it, you don't. That may seem like a dumbed-down explanation, but it's the truth. If you go after anything with the mindset that you can't win and can't make it happen, then negative results are what you'll achieve. But go after those same goals with a positive mindset that allows you to visualize your outcome and manifest the best results coming to you, and you put yourself in a much better position to succeed.Throughout my entire entrepreneurial journey, no book has impacted me more than Napoleon Hill's 'Think and Grow Rich.' This classic was published in 1937(!!) and the lessons found within still hold true today. But don't just take my word for it. Listen to some past episodes of The Business Equation and you'll hear Think and Grow Rich referenced multiple times by other successful entrepreneurs and professionals who've joined me to share their plight.As this episode of The Business Equation goes live, I've read Think and Grow Rich 22 times. That may seem like a lot, but each time I dig into the text, I learn something new. And, 22 times is nothing compared to my guest on today's show! In Episode 84 of The Business Equation Podcast, I'm joined by the one and only Jim Shorkey. Jim is the former owner of the Jim Shorkey Auto Group in Pittsburgh, PA, a company he inherited from his father in the early 90s, grew successfully thanks to the lessons he learned from Think and Grow Rich, and passed on to his children who have grown the company even bigger. To date, Jim has read Think and Grow Rich 144 times!Today, Jim is retired and leads a mentoring group known as Results From Thinking, an outlet that allows him to share stories of positive mindset with professionals young and old.In our conversation today, Jim and I will break down various lessons found within the front and back covers of Think and Grow Rich. From imagination to definiteness of purpose to autosuggestion to faith to passion, our discussion was one that truly brings Napoleon Hill's words to life. Did we agree on everything? Of course not! And that's OK. It made for great radio!We also get into some great business talk, including the power of strong negotiation skills, when it's the right time to expand your business, when the 'right deal' is 'no deal at all,' and much, much more.You can connect with Jim and learn more about what he's up to by checking out his mentoring group at resultsfromthinking.com.Questions for Nick?

EPISODE SUMMARY: "When you're uncomfortable, you find things that make things work. If you're too comfortable, you'll do things just enough to see if it will work or not." --- Isaac KuhlmanOne of the biggest culprits to continued success is complacency. When you reach a certain level of comfort in your efforts, it becomes easier to maintain the status quo and enjoy what you've already earned. But developing a complacent mindset can cause your efforts to backslide, setting you up for even more work in order to stay ahead.The entrepreneurs and professionals that are winning today are the ones who understand the flames of passion and desire must always be stoked in order to achieve massive results. Developing a mindset that challenges yourself to achieve more versus being happy with what's already been accomplished will put you in a unique space that only a small percentage of people inhabit. Do this consistently and your growth will be unstoppable!In Episode 82 of The Business Equation Podcast, Nick Bogacz is joined by Isaac Kulhman, a serial entrepreneur and wildly successful Amazon Brand Developer, to discuss letting your passion and desire outshine your comfort level, the real meaning of 'passive income,' building a freedom lifestyle, and much more. Isaac firmly believes in establishing a growth mindset and will break down the differences between this and a fixed mindset. This interview is packed with useful mindset knowledge.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Defining your purpose is the most critical step in all of your efforts. It's your ‘why.' It's what keeps you motivated and willing to keep pushing forward when the most difficult challenges present themselves. It's what keeps you focused on succeeding and what prevents you from quitting.Episode 81 is all about defining your purpose and features an inspiring, informative conversation between host Nick Bogacz and Ali Shah, a successful entrepreneur and the visionary behind TapeReal, a social networking app that allows you to record and engage through audio and video only. Ali brings a wealth of experience to the show and his story of how he found his purpose is one you do not want to miss.This episode brings you a look at how Ali defined his purpose, how to put your purpose center stage in all your efforts, the evolution of social media and how it's actually made us less social over time, why podcasting has gained popularity because it captures real conversation and human connection, and more.ABOUT ALI: Ali comes from a technology background and has started five companies, but he experienced a transformational journey in South America that took him to where he is today. He realized when we personally connect with others, we improve our mental health, feel a sense of belonging, and strengthen our relationships. Traditional social media has erected barriers between humans, and hijacked our natural way of communication. Texting, posting memes/links, sharing filtered images does not bring us closer as human beings, nor does it allow us to meaningfully connect with each other. Traditional social media has made us less accountable to each other. We need to return to a pure and natural way of communication, enabled by this new technology that isprevalent in our lives i.e smartphones.His mission is to champion the bond of human connection by helping people truly connect and be themselves in a safe, inspiring, and knowledgeable community where everyone can be heard while building a legacy of meaningful memories.You can connect with Ali and discover what TapeReal is all about at tapereal.com.Questions for Nick?

EPISODE SUMMARY: Accountability is what it's all about. Why do so many people go to the gym with a partner? So the partner holds them accountable for getting results and hitting goals. Why do businesses of all shapes and sizes have performance reviews and goal-setting initiatives? So team members can be held accountable for their work.There is enormous power in holding yourself accountable for things that happen in your life, both personally and professionally. It's human nature to search for excuses or point the finger of blame at someone else. But those who are willing to own up negative results just as quickly as they do positive ones are the leaders who establish the right mindset, grow within their capabilities, and excel at whatever endeavor they attack for the long haul.In Episode 78 of The Business Equation Podcast, Nick Bogacz is joined by Vinnie Fisher, a highly successful leader, entrepreneur, and author to discuss the mindset that leaders bring to the table, as well as how leaders rapidly evolve when they hold themselves accountable for their results.MORE ABOUT VINNIE FISHER: After growing three 8-figure businesses with fast growth, many customers and low margin, Vinnie discovered the issue was that he lacked financial fluency and gave back much of his hard-earned money in cash waste and no margin. With no good solutions in the marketplace, Vinnie founded Fully Accountable, an outsourced full-service, cutting-edge accounting firm that helps eCommerce and Digital business owners through fractional CFO and accounting services.He has also authored three best-selling books and has guided Fully Accountable to the Inc 5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in America twice, and ranked as one of the Top 5 Outsourced Accounting Firms by CFO Tech Outlook.As a listener of The Business Equation Podcast, Vinnie wants to give you a copy of his latest book, False Profits: It's Not the Top Line That Pays You, for free!

EPISODE SUMMARY: "Most people leave an organization because of the leader." At some point in your professional life, you've encountered a leader who fell short of expectations.
