Podcasts about growth strategies

In this episode, I share how putting everything on your calendar—even the smallest tasks—can transform your productivity and peace of mind. I talk about my own journey with calendar blocking, why it's so effective, and how it helps reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. You'll hear practical tips for scheduling everything from work projects and family time to errands and rest, plus why building in buffer time is essential. I also discuss how this habit gives you the freedom to say yes to what matters and no to what doesn't, and how it helps you spot patterns where you need more support or boundaries. If you're new to calendar blocking, I encourage you to try it for just one day and see the difference.

In this episode, I share my best strategies for getting things done as a female business owner with a family—without falling into the trap of busy work. I talk about the difference between being busy and being productive, and how a flexible schedule can sometimes blur those lines. I walk you through how I set clear work hours, choose 1-3 weekly goals, and reverse engineer the steps to achieve them. I also explain why I schedule time for each action, build in buffer zones to avoid burnout, and set aside a “parking lot” for non-urgent tasks.Listen to Episode 116: Life Lately (August)Tune in for practical tips to help you create more intention and momentum in your business and family life! Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

Interview with Michael Hodgson, CEO of Serabi Gold PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/serabi-gold-lsesrb-meet-the-team-marcus-brewster-7879Recording date: 9th September 2025Serabi Gold presents a compelling investment opportunity in the specialized Brazilian underground gold mining sector, combining exceptional recent performance with ambitious yet achievable growth targets. The London-listed company has delivered remarkable returns to shareholders, with its share price surging from approximately £0.60 to £2.40 over the past year, representing nearly 300% appreciation as management successfully executes operational improvements in a favorable gold market environment.The company operates as Brazil's premier underground gold mining specialist, holding a dominant position in a market with only 31 underground mines nationwide. This unique positioning provides significant competitive advantages in a country historically dominated by large-scale open-pit operations, creating natural barriers to entry and limited competition for high-grade underground deposits.Serabi's current operations center on maximizing output from existing facilities through intelligent technological implementation. The company employs ore sorting technology to enhance feed grades entering its processing plant, which operates at 600-650 tons per day capacity. This optimization strategy enables production of approximately 60,000 ounces annually from existing infrastructure without requiring major capital investment.The growth strategy focuses on expanding annual production to exceed 100,000 ounces by end-2028, representing a 67% increase from current levels. This ambitious target relies on aggressive resource development across two primary deposits, supported by the most extensive drilling program in the company's recent history. Management plans 30,000-40,000 meters of drilling annually, targeting resource growth from the current 1 million ounces to at least 1.5 million ounces by 2026.Recent drilling results validate management's optimistic outlook, with positive exploration results at the Coringa deposit driving a 7% single-day share price increase. The deposit presents significant untapped potential with extensive strike length and gap-filling opportunities that management describes as largely undrilled despite years of operation.Financial transformation represents a key investment attraction. Serabi has transitioned from capital constraints to strong cash flow generation, enabling self-funded growth without dilutive equity raises. The favorable gold price environment, combined with beneficial Brazilian real exchange rate movements, creates powerful economic tailwinds that enhance cash flow generation from Brazilian operations when translated to reporting currency.Management maintains disciplined capital allocation, balancing growth investment with potential shareholder returns. The company has committed to evaluating capital returns following 2025 financial results, expected in Q1 2026, providing investors with a clear timeline for potential distributions.The shareholder base has evolved significantly, with successful diversification from primarily retail investors to include smaller London institutions through a secondary offering in April at £1.35 per share. These institutional investors have benefited from subsequent appreciation, improving market credibility and liquidity. Daily trading volumes have increased from 500-1,000 shares to 1 million shares, facilitating better price discovery and institutional access.Investment risks include Brazilian political and regulatory environment changes, currency exposure, and exploration risk inherent in resource development. However, the company's long operational history provides valuable local expertise, while dual currency exposure can provide natural hedging benefits.Serabi Gold offers investors exposure to specialized gold production with significant growth optionality, operational excellence, and management committed to disciplined capital allocation in a favorable market environment.View Serabi Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/serabi-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

I share how downloading a "Couch to 5K" app - despite being able to run half marathons - taught me a powerful lesson about achieving big goals in business. After hitting a mental block that kept sabotaging my runs, I discovered that starting embarrassingly easy and building small, consistent wins creates unstoppable momentum. This same principle of breaking down massive business goals into bite-sized, achievable steps helps you develop a winning habit that compounds over time, whether you're trying to scale from $1M to $10M or launch that outbound sales operation you've been putting off.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

In this solo episode, host Meghan Lynch, CEO of Six-Point Strategy, unpacks why “letting your work speak for itself” no longer cuts it—especially for generational businesses. She reframes brand as your transferable reputation, shares an example client story, and outlines how intentional brand strategy fuels growth, attracts talent, and boosts enterprise value.Key Topics DiscussedReframe brand as reputation you actively shape - not logos or taglines.Identify mindsets that stall growth - status-quo comfort, craft-first pride, and misconceptions about brand.Learn from one family business's example: protect distinct visual IP, focus categories, prune underperformers, and integrate customer feedback to regain leadership.Spot the hidden costs of ignoring brand - plateaus, missed “return on luck,” hiring/retention friction, and valuation drag.Build a brand that outlasts a single leader - make trust transferable across generations and management.Take the leadership challenge - audit whether your brand is working for or against you, and where clarity is missing.Connect with Meghan Lynch on LinkedIn or visit Six-Point StrategyBuilding Unbreakable Brands is hosted by Meghan LynchProduced by Six-Point Strategy

What happens when growth changes a company?We've all seen it—your favorite restaurant expands and suddenly the quality slips. The connection feels lost. But does growing always mean losing what made you special?At Root, we think about growth differently. We use “anti-goals” to define what we never want to become, with checks in place so expansion never overshadows client experience or team wellbeing.That's why we recently lowered our minimum investment from $2M to $1M. It wasn't a quick decision. It came after expanding our team to ensure service stays exceptional. Like Patagonia, we measure success by more than profit. For us, it's about advisor engagement, client satisfaction, and building a place where our team wakes up energized to serve.If you're curious how companies can grow without losing their soul, we'd love to hear what brands you feel most connected to and why.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite productivity tip: the 30-minute catch all block. As a mom and business owner, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle constant inputs and endless micro-tasks. That's why I schedule one or two dedicated 30-minute blocks each day—midday and/or at the end of the day—to batch tasks like replying to emails, returning messages, and handling admin work. This simple shift has helped me reduce task switching, clear mental clutter, and protect my focus time for deep work. I use my digital calendar to make these blocks non-negotiable, so I can stay in control and be less reactive throughout the day. If you're looking for more clarity, calm, and productivity, try adding a catch all block to your routine. Plus, if you haven't already, check out my free training on the habits and routines that help me balance business and motherhood here. Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, David Ly Khim interviews Michael Walrath, CEO and Chairman of Yext. Known for building and exiting multiple companies—including RightMedia and Moat—Michael shares how Yext evolved from a local lead-gen platform to a digital presence powerhouse. He dives deep into the fragmentation of search, the shift toward generative engines, and the rise of “agentic” AI-powered experiences. With candid reflections on strategy pivots and digital transformation, Michael urges marketers to rethink discoverability, measurement, and structured content in an era where your next customer might not be human, but an AI assistant making decisions on their behalf.Key TakewaysYext's Strategic Pivots: The company evolved from call-based lead gen to local visibility, to enterprise search—each requiring bold but risky reinvention.Google Dominance Has Peaked: With 92%+ of search traffic once flowing through Google, that landscape is now fragmenting due to LLMs and AI agents.Structured Data Drives Discovery: Clean, contextualized data remains a marketer's best lever for visibility—whether on Google or in LLM-powered engines.Brand Visibility Beats SEO Rankings: As AI agents answer more queries, brands must optimize for visibility across platforms, not just search engine results pages.The Agentic Web Is Coming: AI assistants with memory and context will handle more decision-making—marketers must build for both humans and machines.AI Shifts Are Already Here: Yext observed traffic shifts 6+ quarters ago—marketers should act now, not wait, to influence AI results.Reframing Attribution: Zero-click answers and agentic transactions require a shift from traditional web metrics to outcome-focused measurement.Show LinksVisit Visit Yext on Linkedin and XConnect with Michael Walrath on LinkedInConnect with David Khim on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterSome interviews you might enjoy and learn from:Actionable Tips and Secrets to SEO Strategy with Dan Shure (Evolving SEO)Building Competitive Marketing Content with Sam Chapman (Aprimo)How to Build the Right Data Workflow with Blake Burch (Shipyard)Data-Driven Thought Leadership with Alicia Johnston (Sprout Social)Purpose-Driven Leadership & Building a Content Team with Ty Magnin (UiPath)Also, check out our Kitchen Side series where we take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made at our agency:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean SEOShould You Hire Writers or Subject Matter Experts?How Do Growth and Content Overlap?Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/

I just had a fantastic conversation with Emily Wright, VP & Global Brand Leader at Hyatt, along with my buddy Anthony Melchiorri. Emily's been with Hyatt for nearly 20 years, and the passion she brings to the role is clear. We covered a lot of ground, but here's what really stood out to me: Hyatt has grown from 4 core brands to a wide-reaching portfolio—and they're still expanding. The launch of Hyatt Studios and Hyatt Select is about filling real gaps in the market, especially in secondary and tertiary cities. World of Hyatt loyalty is exploding—58 million members strong and growing. Guests have zero tolerance for inconsistency anymore. Convenience and reliability aren't perks—they're table stakes. What I loved most was hearing how Hyatt balances deliberate, thoughtful growth while keeping guest experience at the center. Do you think Hyatt's careful growth strategy gives them an advantage—or is the race to scale moving too fast for anyone to stay methodical?   Special thanks to our advertiser:

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to review their Q2 2025 financials, an operations and exploration update at their 4 producing mines in Mexico, the permitting approval for future development at Pinguico, and the strategy for growth in H2 2025 and beyond.   Selected Q2 2025 Highlights: Mine operating income of $3.38M was the fifth consecutive positive quarter; mine operating income totaled US$8.2M for H1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.89M was also positive for the fifth consecutive quarter. Working capital deficiency improved by 56% or $8.7M during H1, 2025; down from -$15.4M to -$6.7M. The average realized silver price for the quarter was $33.58 per ounce, up 5.2% from Q1.  The average realized gold price for the quarter was $3,278 per ounce. Guanajuato Silver is a primary precious metals producer with over 90% of the Company's revenue derived from the production and sale of silver and gold. Production for the quarter was 659,237 silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces. Production consisted of 321,990 ounces of silver, 2,913 ounces of gold, 683,163 pounds of lead, and 853,646 pounds of zinc.   James reviewed a number of equipment purchases and underground operational initiatives implemented in the quarter, that will improve future working efficiencies at all four of their producing assets in Mexico.  Guanajuato Silver produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mining centers are located within the state of Guanajuato. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.   Next we discussed that the past-producing Pinguico Mine, an epithermal gold-silver vein project, and a satellite project to the nearby El Cubo Mines Complex, received a key development permit on August 6th that allows the Company to advance this wholly owned project. Receipt of a General Use Explosives Permit, issued by the Ministry of Defense, allows for restart of development work at Pinguico. Drifting along the mineralized San Jose vein structure towards the Pinguico underground stockpile is expected to recommence in Q4, 2025.   We then got a comprehensive exploration update at Pinguico, the El Horcon Mine, and reviewed some of the recent drill intercepts at the new high-grade zone at the San Ignacio Mine.  Wrapping up James summarizes the various growth initiatives across the Company's portfolio of projects, and why he anticipates improving metrics over the balance of 2025.       If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver

Welcome to another Dolly in My Pocket — the short solo series within The extra-Ordinary Leader podcast, designed to offer pithy, practical leadership insights to carry into your week.This episode is about quitting — but not in the way you think.I'm not talking about giving up alcohol or bad habits. I'm talking about something far more radical: quitting the automatic “yeses” and inherited “nos” that shape how we spend our time, attention, and energy.I unpack a powerful idea: every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else — and vice versa. This matters. Because if you're constantly saying yes to what's familiar, you may be unintentionally saying no to the future you actually want.I also share one of my favourite quotes by Augustine of Hippo, the myth of Prince Charming, and what happened when I started saying “no” to Wednesdays.If you're hoping this year will turn out differently, this is the episode that reminds you: hope isn't a strategy. Quitting the right things is.The extra-Ordinary Leader book is out now.

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, host Ray Sclafani reframes what it truly means to engage clients in a modern wealth management practice. He challenges the common misconceptions of client engagement which includes emails, gifts, and review meetings, and instead defines true engagement as emotional, intentional, and rooted in value. Ray outlines three pillars of effective engagement: proactive conversations, customized communication, and meaningful milestone recognition. He emphasizes that real engagement must be embedded into firm culture, not just left to the advisor. Listeners are encouraged to use tools like client journey mapping, achievement reviews, and feedback loops to scale meaningful connections. The episode closes with three reflective coaching questions designed to help advisors evolve their approach and deepen client relationships in a commoditized landscape.Key TakeawaysTrue engagement is emotional, intentional, and value-driven, where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.Effective engagement is built on three pillars: proactive conversations that anticipate client needs, customized communication that aligns with how each client processes information, and meaningful recognition of personal milestones.It must be embedded into the culture of the entire firm, not dependent on any one advisor, and requires clear systems, roles, and shared ownership to scale.In today's experience-driven world, clients compare their advisors to brands like Amazon, Apple, and Netflix, expecting personalization, speed, and relevance.When done well, client engagement becomes a strategic asset, creating loyalty, increasing referrals, and strengthening cross-generational relationships.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

Are you the bottleneck in your own business? Many entrepreneurs wear every hat—CEO, sales, R&D, even accounts receivable—yet still feel stuck. Cary Prejean, founder of Strategic Business Advisors and author of three books, has spent 40 years helping business owners shift from operator to visionary leader. In this episode, we explore why entrepreneurs don't need to become great managers—and why trying to do so can hold them back. Instead, Cary shows how to build processes that keep the business running without you, freeing you to focus on vision, growth, and impact. We break down the opposite skill sets of entrepreneurs and managers—why one thrives on vision, speed, and risk, while the other thrives on stability, patience, and process. Cary explains how to use the language of leadership to engage your team, enroll them in your mission, and empower them to take ownership. It's about letting go without losing control, and creating repeatable, scalable systems that make you irrelevant to daily operations—in the best possible way. Cary shares practical ways to get the attention of distracted, fast-moving entrepreneurs, starting with the right questions. He reveals how to uncover hidden bottlenecks, fix chronic operational headaches, and stop training your team to rely on you for every decision. We also discuss the parallels between leading people and prompting AI—clear direction, desired outcomes, and the freedom to innovate. From his roots in accounting to his evolution as a leadership advisor, Cary's journey offers a blueprint for sustainable growth. We talk about his upcoming books—one on common business-killing mistakes, and another on the lost art of relating—and how improving communication can transform not only your business but your relationships. If your business can't run without you for more than a day, this conversation could be your turning point. Three Key Takeaways: • Entrepreneurs shouldn't try to become great managers — The skill sets are fundamentally different. Instead of forcing yourself into a management mold, focus on evolving into a visionary leader who sets direction, inspires others, and empowers the team to execute. • Build processes that run the business without you — Repeatable, scalable systems free you from daily firefighting. When your team owns the process and delivers consistent results, you can step away from the weeds and focus on growth and innovation. • Empower and engage your team through clear vision and communication — Enroll employees in your mission, give them ownership of solutions, and resist micromanaging. Leadership is about prompting for outcomes, not dictating every step—just like using AI effectively. If Cary's episode got you thinking about how to stop being the bottleneck in your own business, Jonathan Raveh's conversation is your perfect next step. Both episodes tackle the same core challenge—how to move from doing it all yourself to building systems and empowering others. Cary shows you how to evolve from operator to visionary leader, while Jonathan dives deep into scaling thought leadership so your ideas can live and grow beyond you. Listen to Jonathan's episode to see how you can turn your vision into a shared organizational capability, equip your team to contribute their voices, and create thought leadership that scales—without burning you out. Pair these two episodes and you'll have a roadmap for scaling both your business and your ideas.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I discuss the common pitfalls in restaurant marketing and the importance of having solid systems in place for growth. I emphasize that successful scaling requires a business that can operate independently of the owner and a clear plan for replication. I also share how to test readiness for expansion and highlight the significance of understanding financial metrics before making growth decisions.Takeaways:Most restaurant marketing fails because it's built on guesswork.Growth isn't earned through vision, it's earned through replication.If you can't replicate your profit, you're just cloning chaos.The business must be leader-proof before it can be location-proof.Scaling isn't about momentum. It's about predictability.Walk away from the restaurant for three days and see what breaks.You're building a machine so that you can build your dream.If you don't know your math, then you're scaling fiction.Assign ownership, create documentation, and build your replacement strategy.Tell a friend who's thinking about opening another location.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Marketing Challenges02:44 The Importance of Systems for Growth05:38 Testing Readiness for ExpansionIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

How to Scale Beyond 7 Figures Through Strategic Business Acquisitions and Creating Maximum Value Here's what drives me absolutely crazy - I watch brilliant entrepreneurs work themselves to death chasing organic growth while missing the strategies that could multiply their wealth overnight. Everyone's obsessing over marketing tactics, but they're ignoring the playbook that the ultra-wealthy have been using for decades. In this episode, I sit down with Richard Parker to expose how buying businesses at lower multiples and integrating them into higher-multiple operations literally manufactures instant equity. We dive deep into the six factors that determine premium valuations and how cross-pollinating customer bases creates geometric multiplication of wealth. Richard Parker is a serial entrepreneur and acquisition expert who has bought and sold countless companies, with some investments reaching $200 million. He's worked in family offices for ultra-high-net-worth individuals whose names you'd instantly recognize, helping them multiply wealth through strategic business moves while actively doing deals himself. What I love about Richard is he doesn't just teach theory - he shows you the exact frameworks that separate those who build nice businesses from those who create generational wealth through strategic acquisitions and premium exits. KEY TAKEAWAYS: When you buy a business at a lower multiple and fold it into your higher-multiple company, you create instant wealth - this "accretion" strategy is how public companies have built empires for decades. Strategic acquisitions aren't just about revenue - you're buying proven IP, marketing systems, client databases, and the ability to cross-pollinate offerings between customer bases for geometric growth. The six factors that determine premium valuations: unique competitive advantage, founder independence, multiple revenue streams, 50%+ monthly recurring revenue, sub-5% churn rate, and comprehensive data intelligence. As your business scales past the million-dollar mark, you can't fly by sight anymore - you need instrument navigation like a pilot in the clouds, with metrics measured to decimal points and KPIs for every employee. Recurring revenue (contractual subscriptions) commands massive valuation premiums over reoccurring revenue (historical customer patterns) - the difference between predictable cash flow and hopeful projections. A-players deliver 10:1 ROI with minimal management, B-players give 2-4x but need guidance, and C-players often break even or lose money when you factor in opportunity costs and your management time. The wealthiest entrepreneurs don't extract every dollar for lifestyle inflation - they live below their means and reinvest profits at 4-5x business multiples, knowing every dollar becomes $4-5 at exit. Don't let loyalty bankrupt your business - if someone isn't the right fit, letting them go benefits everyone, including giving them a chance to find where they can truly thrive. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.
