Send us a textIn this insightful episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast, Mark Hayward dives into the transformational lessons extracted from Michael E. Gerber's influential book, "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It." This discussion is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are eager to break free from the burnout cycle and scale their operations effectively. Through a detailed exploration of Gerber's core lessons, Mark empowers listeners with the strategies necessary to transition from merely working in their businesses to successfully working on their businesses.The episode kicks off by debunking the "Entrepreneurial Myth," which is the misleading belief that skill in your craft automatically translates into business success. Throughout the episode, SEO-friendly themes such as small business growth, entrepreneurial freedom, and systematization are thoroughly explored. Mark breaks down Gerber's nine essential lessons, emphasizing the importance of system-building over dependency and the need for a balanced approach among the technician, manager, and entrepreneur roles. Listeners are encouraged to adopt a strategic mindset, documenting processes and creating clear organizational structures even if they are solopreneurs, in order to elevate their ventures from self-reliant jobs to thriving, self-sufficient businesses.Key Takeaways:Understanding the Entrepreneurial Myth: Possessing a skill doesn't guarantee successful business ownership; you must build a business model around your expertise.Balancing Business Roles: Every entrepreneur plays the roles of technician, manager, and entrepreneur; neglecting any of these roles can hinder business growth.Systems Over Dependence: Establishing systems facilitates business growth and sustainability; without them, you're merely creating a job for yourself.Documentation is Key: Logging processes and tasks is crucial for scaling and sustaining business operations, especially for solopreneurs.Personal Development Equals Business Growth: The business is a reflection of the owner's skills and organization; personal development directly impacts business success.Resources:Michael E.

This approach reduces reliance on discounting and enhances long-term profitability.Diversify Sales Channels to Reduce Risk – Avoid over-reliance on Amazon by establishing your own direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform, such as a Shopify store. This enables better control over customer data, improved brand visibility, and a more stable revenue stream through multiple touchpoints, including retail, social commerce, and direct mail marketing.Cut Costs Without Compromising Growth – Regularly reassess operational expenses by renegotiating contracts, transitioning to cost-effective platforms like Shopify and Klaviyo, and avoiding long custom IT projects.

In this second chapter of our “If God Is For Us” series, we tackle Paul's big question: “Who can separate us from the love of Christ?” We'll explore how even good gifts—health, family, finances—can become barriers when we trust them more than the Giver. From Genesis to Malachi to Jesus Himself, we'll see how God warns us against serving money and idols. But this isn't just about what trips us up—it's about the ultimate solution. We'll unpack the promise that Christ's death and resurrection cover every misplaced trust. And we'll finish with a practical challenge: when fear or scarcity tempts you to cling, pause and declare, “Nothing can separate me from Your love,” then step out in a small act of generosity. Tune in and be reminded: God's love is unbreakable—and it calls us to live freely, boldly, and generously.   Genesis 18:1–10a Romans 8:31-39 Luke 10:38–42

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathan M. Gerber, MD; and Shyam A. Patel, MD, PhD, about a study they conducted investigating the use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a biomarker for early TP53 mutation identification in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Dr Gerber is a member of the faculty in the Department of Medicine at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine; as well as the chief clinical officer of the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center. Dr Patel is an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School; as well as a hematologist and oncologist at the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.  In our exclusive interview, Drs Gerber and Patel discussed the evaluation of p53 IHC as a surrogate biomarker for TP53-mutant MDS and AML. They shared how the presence of TP53 mutations in these diseases significantly worsens prognosis, necessitating urgent treatment. They also highlighted how IHC results are available within 48 to 72 hours. Gerber and Patel explained this study's design and patient population, as well as how IHC's inverse correlation with overall survival highlights its potential as an early biomarker, though it has lower sensitivity for certain mutations.

Send us a textIn this episode we talk to Liv Egholm, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, and Pia Gerber, Director of Freudenberg Stiftung, about philanthropy and democracy in Europe. Including:What is the core role of philanthropy within a democratic society, which differentiates it from either state or market provision? Can philanthropy be used to strengthen democracy, or is it inherently anti-democratic, because it offers a means for those with wealth to bypass the electoral system and exert unwarranted influence on public debate and public policy?Are there concerns about the influence of philanthropic “dark money” on politics in Europe? How do governmental attitudes towards philanthropy and civil society vary across Europe, and what implications does this have for democracy? What role can philanthropic funders play in addressing the challenges of political polarisation in Europe?What impact does the governance of philanthropic organisations have on the overall perceived legitimacy of philanthropy? (e.g. Can the adoption of participatory methods help to overcome concerns about philanthropic legitimacy?) What role can philanthropic or nonprofit structures play in addressing concerns about the power and legitimacy of private sector organisations? (E.g. can nonprofit ownership models be used to ensure that companies are accountable to society as well as shareholders or investors?) Is there any danger that in becoming partners with/agents for the state, nonprofits undermine their own ability to speak out? Further ResourcesLiv's personal websiteFreudenberg Stiftung's websiteERNOP conference 2025Philanthropisms podcast conversations with Róisín Wood, Farai Chideya and Daniel Stid, and episodes on the history and role of foundations, and pluralism.

We've all heard the words: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But what happens when it doesn't feel that way? When life is heavy, shame lingers, and doubt creeps in? In this first part of our two-week series, we trace the sweeping story of Romans 1–8, through guilt, grace, struggle, and hope, so that we can hear Paul's bold question the way he meant it. This isn't a cliché. It's a promise. And the cross and empty tomb is the proof. God is for you. And that changes everything.   Leviticus 19:9–18 Romans 8:31-39 Luke 10:25–37

Ross Gerber returns to Market On Close to talk all things Tesla (TSLA). On Elon Musk, Ross shares concern with the CEO starting his "America Party," calling it a reversal of his promise to turn his attention back on the company. On autonomous driving, he argues Tesla is far behind companies like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo, something he believes Musk needs to put more emphasis on. While many investors focus on the company's promises of future tech, Ross instead has his mind on the present as EV sales plunge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What does it take to transform a community while simultaneously transforming yourself? Megan Gerber's journey from classroom teacher to downtown entrepreneur to leadership coach unveils the profound connection between personal growth and entrepreneurial success.When Megan noticed her high school students in Chillicothe, Ohio lacked consistent adult support outside school hours, she took a remarkable leap of faith. With no business experience but boundless determination, she founded both Paper City Mentoring Project (a nonprofit supporting teenagers) and  (a full-service café that helped fund the mission). "I knew it was crazy. I knew I didn't know how to do it," she admits. Yet that commitment before complete readiness became her first entrepreneurial superpower.Throughout eight years of business ownership, Megan encountered what she calls "full walls" – seemingly insurmountable obstacles that threatened her dream. Her approach to these challenges reveals a crucial mindset: "I allowed myself the time and space to just step back for a second and recalibrate and say, this is how I thought I was going to build this business. That didn't work, so I'm going to figure out another way." This resilience and adaptability sustained her through financing hurdles, pandemic pivots, and countless leadership tests.Beyond business mechanics, Megan discovered the profound personal growth inherent in entrepreneurship. "If you want to do a lifetime of personal inner work, just become an entrepreneur," she reflects. This realization eventually led her to pursue a master's degree focused on the human dimensions of organizations, and ultimately to her current role coaching leaders through their own growth journeys.Today, Megan helps executives, small business owners, and leaders navigate the intersection between effective leadership and authentic humanity. Her core message resonates with startling clarity: "If you want to be a better leader, be a better human." Through one-on-one coaching and workshops tackling issues like anxiety, she guides clients to the self-awareness that transforms their leadership presence.Guest Links: https://web.facebook.com/papercitymentoringprojecthttps://web.facebook.com/papercitycoffeeMain Street Reimagined:Facebook: facebook.com/MainStreetReimaginedThe Main Street Reimagined Podcast, Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqfkmF5bRH0od1d3iiYKs3oEn_gvMYk7NHenry Development Group:Facebook: facebook.com/henrydevelopmentgroupWebsite: www.henrydevelopmentgroup.comDeveloping News Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/33110524eb5c/developing-newsLuke Henry:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/luhenryFacebook: facebook.com/luke.henry.148#MeganGerber #ChillicotheOhio #FemaleFounders #EntrepreneurJourney #PaperCityMentoring #FromTeacherToEntrepreneur #WomenInLeadership #CommunityRevitalization #MentorshipMatters #RealTalkLeadership #EmpoweredWomenEmpower #SocialImpactBusiness #HeartLedLeadership #SmallTownBigDreams #AuthenticLeadership

We all ask the question at some point: What is God's will for me? In this week's message, we walk with Elijah from the mountaintop of fire to the quiet of the cave and listen for the whisper of God. While we often search for big signs, emotional highs, or opened doors, Scripture shows us that God's voice often comes in stillness - and His will begins not with direction, but with relationship. Join us as we explore 1 Kings 18–19, reflect on how we try to hear God, and hear the good news that even when we've filled our lives with noise or run the other way, Jesus still calls us back - not to shame us, but to bring us life. Real life. Abundant life.   1 Kings 19:9b–21 Galatians 5:1, 13–25 Luke 9:51–62

This week we ask a question too big to answer fully: Who is the Trinity? Instead of trying to explain Him, we turn to how the Trinity moves. The early Church used the word perichoresis, a divine dance, to describe how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in perfect unity. Each Person of the Trinity leads a different movement: The Father creates and provides. The Son redeems and restores. The Spirit sanctifies and guides. And here's the good news: That dance isn't distant. You're invited in. Where is the Trinity at work in your life today? Psalm 8 Acts 2:14a, 22–36 John 8:48–59

00:00 - IntroductionWe open with coffee talk today–and sugar intake, including some beverage shortcuts. Tyler calls it cheaping out; Eddie calls it hillbilly lemonade. We also reminisce about our favorite waitress, 4'10” Miss Connie with the beehive haircut. Oh yeah, also pickle races. Poor Miss Connie.08:05 - Entrepreneurship: A Good Idea?A few weeks ago, guest Matt Aston recommended the book The E-Myth Revisited (now available in an updated version). Tyler shares that this book hit him in the teeth when he picked it up recently. We're discussing this book today because it's filled with great content for construction-related entrepreneurs. Business is hard. Each year, 627,000 businesses are started and 595,000 businesses fail. Many of those may have been active for several years, but still, it's clear that starting and running a business successfully is tough work. Author Michael E. Gerber shares his insights by telling the story of Sara, a fictional pie maker.12:46 - Initial E-Myth Takeaways Eddie shares the first bits of insight that he took from this book. Gerber distinguishes between the technician,  the manager, and the entrepreneur. These are three roles may exist in A technician is the person who can do something well. A manager the person who is good at logistics and task completion. An entrepreneur is the person who works not so much in the business and on the business. Tyler explains that many businesses are started by technicians who quickly find themselves needing to now fill all three of these roles. And since they may not have management strengths or entrepreneur strengths, their businesses often fail. Tyler and Eddie both share examples of how this pattern played out in their respective businesses, ABSI and Storybuilder. The pattern is one that will sound familiar to you if you've started your own business. As a company grows, team members are added in a less-than-strategic manner, resulting in confusion and frustration. The next step is often a soft collapse back to the point where the business owner is once again handling almost everything.   22:55 - SystemsTyler shares that his entrepreneurial journey has gone through the first part of this cycle. Tyler and Eddie discuss the smoothness of the system that makes this podcast operate and Tyler contrasts that with his business. Eddie discusses Gerbers references to Ray Kroc and what he did with McDonald's. Kroc bought a system. Gerber makes the argument that even owners of small businesses need to approach their business like a franchise in regard to team-building, systems, and training. Tyler refers to the movie Founder, which tells Kroc's story. This leads to some talk about the turn-key revolution pioneered by McDonald's. Tyler encourages business owners to check out Loom as a means of creating operational guides.32:12 - Training and More Eddie shares that one of the lessons from the book that most resonated with him was the importance of determining your primary aim. In other words, what is your life goal? If this business cannot generate that reality, then don't pursue the business. Tyler critiques this a bit, saying that the process needs to be considered as much as the primary aim. He said that the path to that end is just as important. Structuring a desired lifestyle now is as important as an entrepreneurial endgame. Eddie discusses the book's 4 tenets of strategy: organization, management, people, and marketing. Then there's a 5th-systems–that was more than we could discuss today. 36:12 - The HotelTyler and Eddie discuss Gerber's hotel storyline. Gerber recounts his experience learning about the systems that enabled this hotel to operate on such a high level. Then Gerber contrasts this hotel experience with a barbershop that provides high-quality service up front but was unable to repeat the quality of that experience over time. Tyler discusses the importance of not just first but also second, third, and fourth impressions. It's about consistently focusing on the things that are essential.  Check out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us!

We went to turkey camp, drank way too much KwikTrip coffee, tested some awesome Gerber camping gear, got our butts kicked by gobblers, and had fun fishing for trout in the driftless regions of Wisconsin.

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of seventy-one-year-old Morris Black were found floating in Galveston Bay. A few days later, Black's neighbor, Robert Durst, was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on $250,000 bail. After posting bail, Durst jumped bail and disappeared for six weeks, before being arrested by Pennsylvania authorities at the end of November.In the years that followed, investigators and prosecutors began combing through Durst's life, discovering disturbing connections between the excentric millionaire and the mysterious disappearances and deaths of several people who were once close to Durst. Robert Durst had been a suspect in the murder of Morris Black, but was it possible he was in fact a multiple murderer who'd evaded detection for decades?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 2001.
